  1. In the era of NIL, I think the big, rich schools like UT, Michigan, Florida, Ohio State move way up the list of desirability. Right now if you are a great coach, and you can coach at Michigan or Indiana, I think you take the Michigan job. I think this would be my ranking of job attractiveness if the job "suddenly" came open. UNC - Jordan, Nike, history, fan support, money, class Kansas - Passionate, knowledgeable fanbase Kentucky - Biggest, most rabid fanbase who will do anything to win, but unrealistic UCLA - Dominate the west coast and live like a king in LA Duke - Money, history, huge NBA alumni base, fans (but who knows if this will hold) Texas - Money, new arena, low expectations, 'cruits Michigan Indiana Louisville Arizona Florida Syracuse Michigan State Ohio State Baylor Cincinnati UCONN Villanova Illinois Gonzaga Arkansas Oklahoma Tennessee Oregon Maryland NC State Mizzou Oklahoma State Texas Tech Memphis LSU Iowa State
  2. Gonzaga as a top 5 job immediately discredits any list. Baylor is a vastly better job if both came open tomorrow.
  3. Probably not as tasty as some of the food posted above, but my young nephew decided to eat an anchor keychain!
  4. Tell me you haven’t spent much time at Tech without telling me you haven’t spent much time at Tech.
  5. A majority of people thought Brooklyn would be a shit show. And then people collectively threw their shoulders out patting themselves on the back after the start to the season. Especially the media.
  6. I think any person, male or female, has a right to defend themselves. The threat doesn’t just have to be life or death. If she is causing bodily harm, he can defend himself. The response just has to be proportional to the threat. IMO. Of course it is better to leave the situation, but that isn’t always possible.
  7. The Nets are even less structured now and have won 10 of their last 11. As much as anything they have been injured and haven’t had extended run together.
  8. I still think she probably had an arm around his head as they were in a tussle and he bit her to make her let go. I just can't see him going after her chomping in an offensive manner. Some coaches like to bite though.
  9. Domestic abuse goes both directions. It is POSSIBLE he was protecting himself - and if so, it might have been 100% appropriate. It is also possible that in protecting himself, he escalated things and abused her in return. Either way, I'm willing to wait to see all the facts presented before making a judgement.
  10. Arkansas has it going right now, but they have only finished in the top-25 of the final AP poll 3 times in the last 20 years. Tech has 5 top-25 finishes over the same stretch. Even last year, Tech drew a 3 seed to Arkansas' 4 seed with a new coach.
  11. Brad Stevens at dinner with friends... "Guys guys... you will never believe who called me today. Texas! Seeing if I want to coach for them!"
  12. Brad Stevens??? Lololol. I mean... wow. Also, HARD pass on Steve Nash. It is looking more and more like he was a big part of the problem in Brooklyn. He has no leadership ability as a head coach IMO. Had the Nets at 2-5 this year. After firing him, they have gone 15-7, including winning the last 8 of 9.
  13. Sounds to me like they were wrestling around. She is a physical ex-athlete. I bet they were both grabbing at each other. Maybe she had a forearm around his head or something and he bit her.
  14. Nets are now tied with e other teams with the best record over the last 10 games at 8-2, including winning last night with none of their top 5 players. Maybe coaching was the problem after all.
  15. Don’t look now, but the Nets have won 4 in a row and 10 of their last 15. By my count, only Boston has a better record in their last 15 than the Nets in the entire NBA. They just got back TJ Warren and Joe Harris is playing better. At full strength this team is going to be a problem for anybody.
  16. Not sure I agree. Tyrese Hunter is about as close to a superstar as we have had at Texas since Durant and Augustin. He is the first guy in 10+ years we have had to average 16+ per game. And he is doing it from the guard position shooting an amazing 54% from the field. If his minutes and usage increased he could average 25 ppg. Here are all the guys we have had at Texas average more 16+ ppg in the last 22 years: Tyrese Hunter - 16.0 ppg, 54.5 FG% Kevin Durant - 25.8 ppg, 47.3 FG% - Wooden Award Winner J'Covan Brown - 20.1 ppg, 41.7 FG% - 1st Team All Big 12 DJ Augustin - 19.2 ppg, 47.1 FG% - 1st Team All American Jordan Hamilton - 18.6 ppg, 44.0 FG% - 2nd Team All American Damion James - 18.0 ppg, 50.0 FG% - 1st Team All Big 12 AJ Abrams - 16.6 ppg, 39.9 FG% - 2nd Team All Big 12 PJ Tucker - 16.1 ppg, 51.5 FG% - Big 12 PoY, 2nd Team AA Dude is on a 1st Team All-American trajectory IMO. Every time I watch him I'm blown away by how good he is.
  17. Texas is becoming 90s UNLV 2.0! kidding. kind of.
  18. Agreed. I really like his game and think he is going to be an awesome player as the game slows down for him. He is super athletic and continues to remind me of Avery Bradley with his movement, defense and shot form. I'm assuming he will stay around next year. If so, I can see him being an All-Conference type player with a year of maturation and a big bump in minutes.
  19. If I fuck around, I expect that at some point I will also find out.
  20. Or some of us just like to see lazy entitled people fuck around and find out.
  21. Meh. Poole is still young. I’m not willing to make any judgement just yet.
  22. When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong. Lol. Exhibit A on why my betting account is currently empty.
