  1. I’d be surprised if Huff was pushing hard for the gig tbh. I don’t know shit, but I get the sense that he enjoys the relative low stress/responsibility of what he currently does while still getting to be part of the program.
  2. He got a DC gig, good for him. Interesting to see what the search looks like for us from here.
  3. Tell that to half of my middle school class in the 90s
  4. He plays over 35 minutes a game, and he gets hunted relentlessly, both because he’s not a good defender and because it’s good strategy to make him work on defense to make him less effective on offense. It makes sense that his blown by stats are the highest in the league. That does not mean he’s the worst defender in the league. There are players that are amazing offensive players that can hardly get minutes for their teams because they are such liabilities on defense. Luka isnt that. He’ll never be a great defender, but he’s been part of good nba defenses. With what he can do on the other end of the floor, that is enough.
  5. These are all great points if you completely ignore the reality of what Luka and the Mavericks have done the past few seasons. He’s a bad defender, but he’s not generationally bad, that’s dumb. He has actually been a useful piece on a good NBA defense, last fucking season. After making the trades for Gafford and PJ they were one of the best defenses in the league by every metric down the stretch. You just need the right pieces around him, he’s not an unsolvable liability on that end. I don’t even want to argue the offensive side of it, mainly because arguing whether Luka’s offensive game is winning basketball or not is weapons grade stupid.
  6. Well, they were only 15 years apart, but… No, Luka’s defense isn’t as good as young LeBron’s, but he wasn’t putting up these stats as empty calories on bad teams. Already two western conference finals appearances and one finals appearance. You guys are too caught up in the “he doesn’t play defense” talking point if you are underplaying Luka’s value right now as a 25 year old superstar.
  7. Completely anecdotal, but I split 4 tickets with a group of 10 friends and to a man we’ve all said we are done today. Doesn’t help that the new owners have been jacking up the price every year and a few of us were getting disillusioned anyway. Maybe after the shock wears off and if we play well with AD some of them will reconsider, but I think I’m done. Only way I get tickets is if they cut the price by like 50% (lol) and I can go to games to mainly check out other teams/players I want to see.
  8. Don’t you tell him what he can’t be.
  9. So for real, why are headcases so over represented among WRs?
  10. Saban being paged at the Austin Airport
  11. Yeah I was on my phone and couldn’t figure it out. Works on a desktop
  12. This is awesome. Do you have it hosted on YouTube or somewhere where I can share it with people?
  13. He’s right if by “football scholars” he means “TexAgs posters”
  14. Did you happen to catch our playoff game against Washington last season?
  15. DISD announced schools and admin buildings are closed Thursday and Friday.
  16. Man, "portalcol son" was sitting right there for him too.
  17. A 50 (something) year old man who has never seen his team play for anything of consequence telling us how he would act if it were him is adorable.
  18. Is this the first game where we’ve been the underdog since Bama last season?
  19. I love Wisner and how he's playing, but it's hard for me to believe that he's currently carrying 202 pounds. Maybe he had a big Christmas
  20. Losing guys like Niblett is the toughest part of the transfer portal to me and is probably what is going to pushing cfb towards increased parity. It’s just hard to build truly elite teams when you are losing good depth who are given a chance to develop. Not really in playing style, but his development path is sort of like guys like Chris Ogbonnaya. Good culture fit, special teams and role player first few years but works his way on the field a little more every season. In this era, he probably transfers to Miss State after his sophomore year. I understand why it probably makes sense for Niblett to pursue more immediate opportunities in the portal, but it sucks.
  21. Some Netflix series the production company that does “Drive to Survive” and “Full Swing” is doing. Could be good, but I get why we opted out https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/southeastern-conference-sec-doc-series-release-date-news
  22. I don’t think it was written in blood, was it? I thought he looked over and saw a bunch of Christmas decorations, including a red marker
