  1. Just because I haven't seen his name mentioned in the past 2 pages (I'm sure it was mentioned during the game)...... but Jase Febres. Alright then young man. Good to see you back.
  2. This actually seems normal to me. We can never seem to get all our talented players to have a good game on the same night. Every game is one or two of the guards showing out, then a game like Ramey's last night. There was a few performances like that from Drew this year as well (1-8 type shooting nights). If they actually learned to play off each other and if it was possible within the makeup of our team for everyone to eat, we could have been that 1 seed we briefly dreamed about in December.
  3. Embarrassing. Greg Brown too. Another 5-star one and done who is going to leave 0 legacy at Texas. Just more promo for our program's lottery picks. Getting out-hustled and it's supposed to be Shaka's MO.
  4. Patty was getting abused, and I swear this is the 3rd game in a row that I've seen Patty dribble the ball off his fucking foot. What the fuck mate, have some shame, you're a fucking point guard (supposedly). Poetl with a big step back last night. I have noticed the progress, he's becoming great on defense, but that shit on the boards was horrendous.
  5. Almost full health tonight. Only missing Devin's spot minutes. Let's see what we got. I expect a lot of Keldon/D White/DJ on Doncic.
  6. Now 6 episodes deep into "Warrior". Cinemax show now on HBO Max. Pretty solid B+ stuff. Every episode has both sex and martial arts violence, and I can't pretend to be above that. Just enough storyline to keep me engaged in the next episode. SIAP.
  7. The squeeze ain't squoze yet. I'm finally green on AMC. Not in on GME but I've been keeping an eye on it. No idea what's going to happen but diamond hands and all that, not selling. I'm finally green on AMC too. Bought before last week's dip and had to wait it out. Definitely not waiting too long like last time. NK looking good. Apparently some merger news combined with some promising Stage 3 trials going on brought it comfortably back over $30.
  8. Crazy that losing the striking battle for the round and getting one takedown to get yourself a breather and just press weight on top of your opponent is a "huge round" for you. Jan is dog tired.
  9. Borrrriiiinnnggg. I respect tf out of Khabib, but don't want to watch another single fight of this dude climbing the ranks to be the next him.
  10. My first thought when I read the banner was "AY DIOS MIO, YA VOY!" I thought it said Calling all Surly Mexicans

    Vinyl

    "Boston" shooting up my personal favorite vinyl list, with a rocket. Another classic 70s album that I was never put on to; found it in the RGV for a few bucks. Knew "More Than a Feeling" but didn't really appreciate the Foreplay/Long Time until sitting down with the vinyl. And Smokin while listenin' to Smokin.
  12. Nvm the age is right there, stupid.
  13. If you only use the NBA seasons don't you also overlook that Kawhi played two years in college and DJM only one? In their 4th years Kawhi is a year older, and DJ also missed a year due to injury.
  14. Agreed on all fronts. I expect this next fight to go the way the Callum Smith fight went. BJS will move and try to "box", but Canelo will still overwhelm and pound him to the body and rack up points while BJS tries to "display" his defensive abilities. I'd see the Caleb Plant fight going the exact same way. I'd be more intrigued at a war with David Benavidez. It's crazy that he'll have to go up to 175 just to find a fighter that will earn him some respect. Anything at Caneloweight or 168 won't add to his legacy really.
  15. That's hilarious, I kinda like Luka's face. I like the fact that he's taking pride in his defense more. Last night was fun. The past few weeks (COVID break aside) have been fun. I'm hoping for a win tomorrow to go into ASB with some momentum, and come out of it with even more (in the form of Derrick White FINALLY being a full part of this rotation, and the return of Devin).
  16. UUUU and NOVN giving me life after a slow ~10 days (and snopocalypse). What the hell is up with NK though? Back under $30.
  17. Good win with a couple guys still missing and a new lineup with LaMarcus coming off the bench.
  18. In the first half I thought to myself he's the only big we have that actually has an idea of how to play with his back to the basket. He's just slow at doing it, and Tech is now swarming him when he gets it in the post. Brown and Kai are worse on the block. No idea of how to play with their back to the basket, their only move is to try to face up asap and attempt to blow by the defender. Big men with multiple skills are at a premium in 2021 basketball. We got a bunch with limited skills.
  19. Jones losing McClung on that 3 is boneheaded. McClung pushed and we had 2 on 2, Jones guarded nobody in the corner and gave up the open 3.
  20. When all 3 guards play shitty, we suck, and when all 3 are playing well, we kick ass. Interdasting.
  21. Cumbia did it for me. No lessons, just youtube and losing the fear of looking stupid. COVID has really ruined that spigot though. Also been laid after a night at the White Horse, pretending to know how to dance country/honky-tonk while really just recycling the same cumbia spins.
  22. You and me both. I jumped in blind to be an idiot last week and ride the reddit wave on AMC/GME, and since I had RH installed I just got outta that nonsense and put a few hundred bucks into UUUU and NK (and a few more into NOVN). Don't have much to "gamble" but I can spare a bit now as I learn some more in this new world of stonks. There's not really any other place I'd trust internet strangers more than Surly. The first week was anxiety-riddled, but now that I've settled on those three I feel comfortable and just going to let it sit finally. Not a gambler at all, so I think the long-plays are better for me. Just wish RH had AMYZF. Edit: The point of this post was basically thanks for the advice, Surly Stonk overlords.
  23. Have a few shoeboxes myself, and another few handfuls in the hard plastic protectors that are my "good" cards. I was a 90s kid and collected a bunch with friends until they got bored of it around high school. Spent a few years on internet message boards doing the mail thing, then college came and Austin was cooler than cards. So many years and retail packs and really the only ones I really care about these days are my 8-12 Tim Duncan rookies. I bought another off eBay for $30 a couple months ago (thanks stimmy!) to satisfy that itch of opening a pack I get every couple years. But yeah it's so different now, I want to get a box because I never had the money to get a good box as a kid, but the 40 different variations of Prisms now are a complete turnoff. I do regret a few I traded away, Kobe rc, Peyton Manning rc, Randy Moss rc, etc., but the Timmy's were always untouchable.
  24. Fully expecting an L tonight, because we play like shit on the back end of B2B, but the upcoming schedule looks prime for a run. Looks like the next 8 games are all against sub .500 teams (and the Pacers, who are right at). This team hasn't exactly been taking care of business against shitty teams last year and this year though, so who knows, could go 4-4 during this stretch.
