  1. My daughter and I were stopped at a light downtown a few nights ago, and a homeless gentleman started banging on her window, and held up a sign that said "I want ho's", along with a picture of his dong. That was nice. The next day a homeless dude followed her into HEB and she had to get an employee to help. As she was telling me this story, a friend of her's texted her saying "I just left a restaurant downtown and was chased by a homeless guy screaming at me".

    This reads like someone trying to make an argument against Beard rather than good faith analysis.  First, I’m pretty sure this year’s Tech team is the one with the highest adjusted offensive efficiency rating of the three (I’ll leave it you to figure which one is which - thanks, guy), and the difference between 104 and 112 is actually material.

    It also ignores all kinds of other factors when you just list shooting percentages and pace.  What were their turnovers and offensive rebound numbers?  What volumes did they produce (did they get to the FT line a lot or not - just saying they shot 70% is meaningless)?  For example, Tech was 31st in made FTs this year, and Texas was 353rd last year (as an aside, holy fuck at that stat with our roster of athletic slasher types).

    Tech also played fewer non-conference patsies this year to pad their shooting percentages because of Covid.  

    And, of course, we aren’t taking into account the rosters each coach had to work with.  I don’t think he is making the point he thinks he’s making by highlighting that Chris Beard produces as good or better offense relying on Mac McClung to do everything as Rick Barnes did with Myles fucking Turner, Isaiah Taylor, Ridley, Holmes, etc.  

    Finally, it also doesn’t take into account that Tech’s defense with Beard was elite and way fucking better than Texas under Shaka or late Barnes.  

    Everything that guy just said is bullshit.

    Also, Tech beat Texas 2 out of 3 and won a game in the tourney. Something we haven't seen in awhile. The whole thing is bullshit.

    Still worth a shot on Bates.  He said he wanted to play for a black coach, but he could go play for a great coach instead? 

    Have you seen the movie Soul Man?

    Never mind. That would never work.

    Just watched The Test Dream (s. 5 ep. 11).  One of the most wild captures of a dream sequence.  Loved the cameos.

    Always thought that was a very accurate portrayal of how dreams work. He's out at dinner and for some reason Annette Bening is there. And then he realizes it. "Hey you're Annette Bening aren't you".

    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.

    Is that everyone since Tony Hills Jr?
