  1. I stopped listening to Pretend We are Football after about the third year of Texas sucking in basketball with Bitter White Guy and crew just talking about how he may not succeed at Texas but he was a good coach. So I don't really care what he thinks.
  2. I went two pages past your question and never saw a response. I stole this from someone who stole it from some 9.95er (247?), but it was a good write up on his start at Texas straight from Penders himself:
  3. I am on record that I won't say another negative thing about the man if he turns the Shaka Jedi mind trick into Beard as our next BBall coach, and I am a man of my word. He is golden for his tenure here in my eyes.
  4. I have a pretty sick move at the local court where I throw a head fake then run under the goal pointing at the rim, hoping the kid with the ball will hit me with a sweet alleyoop (lay-up). Is that the kind of off the ball movement you are looking for?
  5. All of this is correct, and Jeff did mention that 8 were still on the roster. So maybe we luck up and have one of those 8 guys that should make the NFL actually make the NFL. Of course Connor Williams and Sam Cosmi don't count, since both were 3 stars. I couldn't remember the details, because I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but reading your comments brought the details back.
  6. If I recall this correctly from Longhorn Blitz, we have had 41 straight 4 and 5 star OL go undrafted. If that doesn't underline the futility of our coaching over the last decade, I don't know what does.
  7. She came sprinting from the other side of the court as soon as the horn blew. Apparently she has a history of concussion issues but a mouthpiece is reducing those impacts. Mouthpiece doesn’t help much when you get body slammed on the back of your head though.
  8. Charli came up big. Celeste is a difference maker at guard. Ebo is the C of the future. Fun to watch for sure. I hope Vic wins a National Title
  9. Social media will be the downfall of society. - Charlie Strong
  10. Dirt burglars version especially. They looked ready for train robberies
  11. I actually went to look it up since I was just talking from memory. I remembered a loss in the national championship, but didn’t realize it was way back in 2002. They have four Sweet Sixteen appearances since 94, which seems to be the year they really fell off. Last National Championship was 87. You are correct that the name says basketball much more than Texas, but the production since the early 90s is basically on par with us. Edit to add that someone on the Horn said we are top 20 all time in basketball wins. I’m guessing that is largely due to longevity of our program, but that was news to me.
  12. I was going to mention that we do this while also keeping up with our international super model wives, but Roll Left beat me to it. Many of us make as much or more money than nurses too. and I happened to win 9 national titles in a row in the late 90s on my PlayStation. So this hits close to home
  13. I roasted him pretty hard for the “vote of confidence” in Herman, which I still think was unnecessary and poorly thought out. But the Sark hire seems good and the Shaka Jedi mind trick he just pulled was masterful and worthy of his title. I liked the Coach Vic hire, but after listening to him over the last few days, I now love that hire. Softball was a great hire too. If he pulls off bringing Beard, I will vow to never say another bad thing about him as AD at Texas.
  14. I don’t disagree in general. But I think the Nebraska comp someone made is accurate. Indiana has been nothing for decades, but the expectation is national titles like the old days. Meanwhile the Horns are running an NBA factory that can’t win a single game in the tourney. I know which one I would sign up for if I was a coach.
  15. Not that Texas has a glowing resume, but please remind me what Indiana has done in basketball in the last 30 years. I honestly don’t remember anything significant except for firing Bob Knight.
  16. The CDC timeline is O/U of 48 hours right? I may take the under given the out of the blueness of this news about Shaka.
  17. TJ will probably always be my favorite basketball Longhorn. Class act guy all the way around.
  18. I did lip read a spitting tirade that seemed to include “every fucking call” but he regained composure and his team never lost it for sure.
  19. Sheesh, I sure as hell hope not. I am hoping the Gators send him packing and want him nowhere near Austin. That guy sucks as bad as Shaka at coaching and is a much worse recruiter.
  20. Exactly where I am, but I will add that I like that his experience is in the NBA with offensive minded coaches. I think that would sell well to recruits. Plus Royal is one of my favorite Longhorn basketball players.
  21. Can we stop saying this? Lucking into a three game win streak to win the conference tournament is not the same thing as having the best record in a 18 game conference season. We won the Big 12 tournament not the conference title. I always hate this stupid dual champion thing. It is useless in the Big 12 and only matters in the conferences where only the tournament champ makes it in. I couldn’t give 2 shits about winning a tournament where we dodged both KU and Baylor.
  22. I hope he told them that it is really all about the friends they made along the way.
  23. The fact that Shaka got almost nothing out of a 5 star like Brown while he still acts like a 10 year old sums up everything that is wrong with our current program. Zero discipline. Zero organization. The main reasons I quit caring about Shakaball three years ago.
