  1. Florida basketball coaching offices must be like a P.Diddy party, wtf is going on down there? https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/43441025/todd-golden-title-ix-florida-assistant-sexual-assault

    I will qualify my earlier comments by suggesting I was really talking about the football players and basketball players (probably baseball as well)....the ones that arrive in Austin with fat NIL deals with dreams of a high paying professional career. I suspect that swimmers, rowers, etc... are probably more disciplined than the average student and would do well in class. But I'm guessing the majority of our scholarship football and basketball players wouldn't sniff admission to UT if it weren't for the fact that they were badass athletes. I've heard a lot of these guys speak and they don't sound particularly well educated.

    Why even require them to take classes at this point. They are professional athletes that will soon be getting paid by the athletic department to play football. I guess you could make it optional for the few that actually want to learn something. But the traditional notion of "student athletes" seems pointless these days. Let them major in football.
  4. So will his mom.
  5. Tien won it. never heard of the guy, but I dont follow the sport much anymore. he played like a m'fer in that tiebreak. Announcer said it was the 6th latest ending of a Grandslam match, so yeah, pretty late.
  6. Good 5th set tiebreaker on now between Medvedev and Tien.
  7. good lord. you dont see this every day...
  8. The moral of the story is if it's shaped like a dick, OU fans will figure out a way to go tip to tip.
  9. Its like his head was molded in an ice cube tray
  10. Yeah, I'm still mystified every time I hear people talk up Porter Moser as a good coach. This is his 21st season as a HC and his career conference winning percentage is under .500. The vast majority of those seasons were in mid major conferences where you would expect a coaching prodigy to dominate. He basically got lucky that a nun watched all his games in that final 4 run and made them a national feel good story. Other than that, his career is average at best.
  11. what a classic SEC slugfest ticklefight this is. just next-level play at both ends of the court.
  12. No shit, its like making an argument for aggy winning the national championship in football next year, and citing the works of William Liucci as your rationale.
  13. does not equal people largely have recency bias. Lets check back in on the matter in 4 years and see if Arabs are 100% on team GQP. My guess is the answer will be "fuck no"
  14. pfff....that region will continue to be a fucking shitshow for decades, and there will be countless opportunities for the arab vote to see exactly how Trump/GQP will make arabs lives miserable in the middle east. As long as we continue to march along the path towards a Christian theocracy, its more likely the arab vote will realize they have no allies here.
  15. Yeah I saw his putrid FT % a while ago when I looked up his stats. These kids are basically playing basketball full time these days, and this guy not only cant figure out how to raise his shitty FT shooting, but he actually managed to cut his percentage in half. That's a huge red flag that this dude doesn't really give a shit, and isnt willing to put in the work. I doubt having Mitchell on this years squad would make much of a difference at all. Tremendous athlete, average(at best) player.
  16. WOMP, WOMP https://www.reformaustin.org/politics/austin-real-estate-developer-nate-paul-pleads-guilty-in-federal-fraud-case/ Sounds like a pretty sweet deal for the guy. Multiple charges dropped that carried sentences of up to 30 years. Prosecutors recommending a sentence of no more than 6 months for the one count he pled guilty to. Business as usual, I guess.
  17. So fine, have Wemby and CP give jerseys to kids whose folks aren't worth 9 figures. I found it tone deaf AF on the part of the NBA, you didn't. There's not much to argue here.
  18. I'm not saying Wemby,CP,or the kids did anything wrong. I'm just stating it's a tone deaf tweet by the NBA considering the thousands of kids in the LA area in the same situation whose parents aren't worth 9 figures. Some kids were probably sleeping in cars last night, not court side at daddy's NBA game getting game worn jerseys.
  19. I'm sure people will masturbate to this fantasy for decades, but it aint never gonna happen.
  20. Complete shitbag who hid behind religion while doing shitbag things. Fuck off Bill.
  21. Two guys that are (or will be) worth 9 figures giving their jerseys to the kids of another guy worth 9 figures. I'm having a hard time keeping it together. Those kids might just make it after all.
  22. Gonna get pretty dicey here in Austin. I'm off to pick up 6-7 cases of shitter paper and a months worth of perishable food. I pray I havent waited too long to secure my provisions.

    Tre Johnson

    ESPN's latest big board draft rankings 1. Cooper Flagg, SF/PF, Duke 2. Dylan Harper, PG/SG, Rutgers 3. Ace Bailey, SG/SF, Rutgers 4. VJ Edgecombe, SG, Baylor 5. Nolan Traore, PG, Saint-Quentin 6. Kon Knueppel, SG/SF, Duke 7. Egor Demin, PG/SG, BYU 8. Kasparas Jakucionis, PG, Illinois 9. Khaman Maluach, C, Duke 10. Tre Johnson, SG, Texas -Height: 6-6 | Age: 18.7 | Prev. rank: 14 One of the most talented scorers in the class, Johnson is taking on a huge workload at Texas, which has predictably led to some ups and downs. A gifted athlete with an aggressive mentality, Johnson has shot the ball well from distance (43% from 3 on seven attempts per game) and been key to Texas' good start 921 points on 48% from the field). His mix of size and fluid athleticism in the backcourt makes him a difficult cover, with a range of ways to score from all over the floor. The big-picture concern with Johnson's projection is whether his style of play will be conducive to winning basketball in an NBA context, due to the number of tough shots he takes, and bouts of tunnel vision and questionable decision-making. He's not adding much value yet on the defensive end to prop that up. Johnson has displayed these shot-happy tendencies for some time, and it's unclear how it will translate in a situation where he's not given the green light to constantly shoot. His gifts are obvious, but teams will be working to figure out how his game scales down if and when he's not the focal point of an offense. Their latest mock draft has him going at pick 9 to the Nets.
  24. I vaguely remember the campus location having this chicken sandwich that I think you could only order from the downstairs bar. It was the size of a fucking frisbee, and fairly affordable so I would swing by to eat those sober even. But mostly we just boozed there and had good times (early-mid 90's). I aint gonna hate on Trudy's.
