  1. If Presti had this bench (and head coach) when KD and Russ were in okc, they’d have a couple banners. 38 year old Derek fisher was our best bench guy for two years. Lol
  2. McCollum McCasland Oats Quinn Snyder Byington from Vandy
  3. To be fair, Dort, Wallace, and Dub have actual injuries. They just played 8 games in 14 games. Absolutely no reason for SGA to potentially roll an ankle against a 76ers team that isn’t even trying. And they won by 33.
  4. Going to England with college teammates in June. Playing Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham and st Anne’s, Royal Liverpool, Sunningdale old and new, swinley forest, and another not so famous. We did Ireland a couple years ago: Lahinch, ballybunion, old head, Waterville, Tralee, and Dooks. We had an absolute blast. Has anyone done both? What should my expectations be? Pretty pumped to play some of the Open rotation courses.
  5. I think it was “open” so anyone could join it automatically connect while searching. Just saw it was Kaylee’s dad who let that slip. They know way more than the public.
  6. Even without the DNA on the knife sheath, the circumstantial case is still pretty damning. Leaves Pullman headed in the direction of Moscow in the early morning hours. Turns off phone or puts in airplane mode. His car or similar car is scene driving down the road in front of the house several times. It connects to the their WiFi. Car is seen leaving the area after the murders. He takes a complete different route home that takes him miles out out of the way. Turns back on his phone and connects to a VPN. Google searches for Ka Bar knives found. Was kicked out of his PhD program for his treatment towards women. Eyebrows match the description from of one the survivors. Internet research posts about how it felt to kill people. His car was in the vicinity of the crime scene 12 times leading up to the murder. when he was arrested, he didn’t ask “what for” only “have they arrested anyone else”. and that’s all that has been released. I’m sure the prosecutors have much more. Either he did it or he’s the unluckiest person in history.
  7. His pace, length, and length make him so hard to guard. Leads the league in drives, naturally you are going to get fouled a lot. They still shoot the 3rd least amount of free throws a game and foul the second most. All these people talking about free throw merchants conveniently don’t get that. There was a great article on the Athletic about his offseason regimen: practices against 8 dudes every morning at 6 or 5 if the gym at his high school is being used and he goes to the YMCA. Always has 2-4 people swarming at him. Has a 6’8” guy to work on his post moves. Goes to the gym before lunch. Back to the gym for shooting from 2-5. That’s insane work. Makes sense how he splits doubles so well, though. Journals every drill, piece of advice, and results and then reads that at night.
  8. OKC addressed their weaknesses from last year. They were undersized and added Hartenstein. Giddey needs the ball to be of any value, but his defense was terrible. Couldn’t play in the playoffs. Also, he took the ball away from SGA. As mentioned above, maybe one more shooter would be nice, but Wiggins (who might be on the best contract in basketball outside of Peyton Pritchard) had really picked up his scoring. His have been great since the all star break. They are also in the top 10 in minutes missed by injury, so Mark has had to experiment with personnel and lineups. That will serve them well in the playoffs.
  9. I like him. Moser can really develop. You can’t take Loyola Chicago to the final 4 and sweet 16 and not be able to coach. I guess he’s just not a great fit for the portal age. Hes got a good class coming in though.
  10. Since Hybl took over, yes. One title, lost in the finals one year, made match play almost every year. A constant top 5 team would be considered a juggernaut to me. Maybe juggernaut is too strong. How about really good.
  11. Riley was a good hire. Bit them in the ass j. in the end though. He’s made a bunch of good other hires and retained Gasso. Krueger took basketball to a final 4. Skip Johnson got baseball to the finals. Men’s golf is a juggernaut. Gymnastics is the best in the country. Women’s basketball was a good hire. he’s had notable misses though. Especially lately. Venables and Moser aren’t the guys. Those are the revenue makers.
  12. There’s talk of Harold Hamm endowing the department from my Oklahoma fan friends. Still doesn’t give them the long term artillery to be a continued dominant force. Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia, Oregon and Alabama aren’t going anywhere. Aggie shouldn’t either, but I’ve learned Aggie will always Aggie.
  13. To be fair, if your top 5 receivers play less than 200 snaps combined, you are going to struggle. Add in missing in the offensive lineman portal, and their schedule, you are gonna struggle. however, when he played the bowl game the season before, he had some highs, but the same issues followed him. Happy feet, no read progression, and getting the ball out late. OU hiring Littrell, who had never coached QBs ever didn’t help. they’ll be better this year, if healthy.
  14. Crazy watching them grow up! He’s learning something new every day. Thought I would want to just wake up at 2 years and know he was good. Now i wouldn’t want to miss it for a world. IMG_0437.mov
  15. I watched that Thunder-Griz game last night. Good lord, the score doesn’t even do it justice. OKC could have named the score against a fully healthy, rested Memphis team on the road. OKC didn’t even have 3 of their top 6. This Aaron Wiggins breakout makes them doing nothing at the deadline look like the right move. Dude would start for more than half the league and is on year one of 5 year-45 million dollar deal. Maybe the best contract in basketball that’s not a rookie deal outside of maybe Austin Reaves or Peyton Pritchard.
  16. I took a CLE on how money is distributed in the music industry. Was truly fascinating. It’s amazing how one line can get you a writing credit or one cord progression. The Verve getting no money off of “Bitter Sweet Symphony” because they didn’t get permission from The Rolling Stones, even though the had the permission of the person who had bought the orchestral track of the song, was always crazy to me. (Jagger and Richards finally gave them the rights in like 2020). But forever that was the song they had made the most money from since the 90s and it wasn’t their song.
  17. I heard the voice and instantly recognized it. Turned around and nobody was around. In the Houston airport where there’s always people around. Didn’t want to bother him, but thought it just meant to be or something. He couldn’t have been more kind with his time. I had talked to him at the merch table at a bar he played in OKC circa 2005ish. We were both less than sober. So, this interaction was much cooler.
  18. I had read the article in Rolling Stone, and I saw him in the Houston airport about two weeks ago. He was doing an interview on the phone, and I recognized the voice. Nobody else around. When he finished, I went up and thanked him for what his music has meant to my life, and what sharing his struggles to the world meant to me. We talked for probably 10 minutes. God bless that man.
  19. Mavs are going to get the 8 seed and get healthy just in time for the playoffs and beat the Thunder, aren’t they? Worst matchup in the league for the Thunder. Those games would be must watch.
  20. Making the pecan cobbler from Cooper’s in Llano. She happens to take pride in her pecan pie. So, I’ll win. Is it petty? Yep. Do i care?? Not in the slightest
  21. Bi-polar multi millionaire heir is refusing to come out of his room. This is his own prerogative. He’s 36. Holidays stress me out, too. Meal went off without a hitch. Until….. we were sitting down about to have desert and go along our merry ways. Knock on the door _____ville Police. Hmmm. Odd in this neighborhood with mega mansions all over. “We’ve learned that you have keeping a prisoner/slave in your basement. (You guessed it, where the cousin lives). We assure them that’s not the case. The do some investigating and cousin had called during dinner to “get some help” but more than likely to cause a scene. Paramedics wanted to take him in a 5150 hold but we refused. Planning intervention now. Last time he spent a year in NYC at some study. Came back feeling great on his meds. No the meds make him numb and he hates us. Oh well! Not as bad as the MIL throwing my desert in the trash because others liked mine more last year, but it’s always something.
  22. This 2 month old just checked in at 13.8 pounds, 25 inches. 99% head size. 99% in size. Just an absolute unit for being born 4 weeks early. A lot of the infant stage sucks; however, daily there’s something where you can’t imagine life without him. Makes all the pain, struggle, frustration, and angst go away.z His first real smile. Somehow had the phone out to capture. Heart is so full looking at it!
  23. OU beating Arizona wasn’t on my radar. Picked 13th in the SEC. They have a freshman kid that is legit.
  24. I think that same logic applies to about 10 teams in the west. The pels are good with Murray, CJ, Ingram, Zion, herb jones, Trey Murphy, and the bench. Still probably in the bottom 5 in the west, but would potentially host a series in the East. The West is just so deep and they have the rockets, thunder, and spurs with all the picks coming up. So it’s just going to get tougher.
  25. Is that the elastic straps inside and then the rest of the swaddle goes on top? Like to keep them in place? He seems to do ok with it so far.
