    Marquette is the type of program Moser would want--no football so basketball is king.  Easier conference too.  There's been chatter that there's mutual interest.  He's from that area so if he did get a "bigger" job, it wouldn't surprise me if it's Marquette or DePaul. 

    DePaul is a shitty job. They just arent committed to sports. Built a new arena nobody can get to. 

    I can see Marquette for Moser if he wants to build a small conference dynasty. He could do it. 

    Marquette buddy of mine says Smart wont happen as he evidently pissed off the AD and BMD by bailing on a handshake agreement to go there when the UT job opened up. That will be 9.95 etc.

    What ever happened to the inside out game with a big man in the post who can take high percentage shots or dish out for open threes if double-teamed?

    Take a look at the teams that make Sweet Sixteen and you will usually see a ton of that.

    Any advice on how to beat Abilene?  Seems they are giant killers

    Take your horses out of the game by playing slow, then dribble all day and throw up a brick from behind the line. Oh and throw the ball away about every third trip down the floor. Then hope for a call at the end. Its the only way.

    You don't think a complete unknown with zero college coaching experience could potentially do worse?

    Zero tournament wins in 6 years for about 20mm in salary. 

    No I dont think he will do worse at Texas with a new arena coming, NBA rep, and the support of big time former players. 

    Everybody thought Shaka was a sure thing and it has been a disaster. 

  5. Been watching Porter Moser up close for years and he is a basketball GOD. Man that team just executes half court offense to perfection. Plus people love him up here and by all accounts a good dude. 

    I just watched them dismantle a true national championship contender without breaking a sweat and it wasnt lucky. 

    Never gonna happen unfortunately as he is definitely a Midwest guy. 

  6. Over the last few years since Parcells the Cowboys have wasted some elite rosters with bad coaching. 

    This roster isnt even elite but with McCarthy coaching it wont matter. Hes a meathead. 

    Dak is good enough to do some damage if the team is a contender but that defense is dogshit and he cant fix that. Going to score some points though if he is upright. 

    As for his cap hit a lot of buzz that the cap is about to explode so probably not that big a deal for an NFL starter. 

  7. No Bryson fan but it took some huge balls to go for it on 6 on top of a bunched leaderboard on Sunday. I like watching that shit. 

    Spieth has turned a corner. He isnt as wild with driver, hits a lot of really sweet irons, and is starting to roll it. Burned a few edges today in really tough conditions. 

    Probably only needs to be about average with driver at this point to contend. 

  8. They can say whatever they want but when they dumped Yu Darvish for prospects instead of waiting until the trade deadline you know its a rebuild.

    Everyone from the 2016 will be outta here save one or two guys. This team will be lucky to get to 75 wins. 

    Bryant has never recovered from that shoulder injury. No power and no durability. Too bad he was a star.  Wont ever play more than 130 games a year.

    Contreras looks like a roid guy to me so I sell high on him. Baez inconsistent but probably stays. Would only sign Rizzo to team friendly deal which he probably shouldn't do. 

    Cubs had a helluva run but its over now. They are going to tear it all down as they should. 

  9. Went to France in 2010 and made a special trip to Normandy. Its a must see. 

    The American Cemetery at Omaha is a hauntingly beautiful place. I was pretty good until the guide mentioned that all grave markers face West, to the United States.

  10. As for BOB, my teenage kids were talking at dinner one night about various political views among their peers such as kneeling during the anthem and not saying the pledge etc. I thought it important to remind them that although we live in a country where people should be free to think and do such things, that right was bought by good people who died for their country. 

    So we are watching BOB because in my view WWII was truly an epic struggle of good vs. evil and thankfully good won, this time. A timely history lesson for them.

  11. My step dad was in the Pacific. He was married at the time and his wife got word that his ship, the USS Quincy, was sunk at Guadalcanal with 370 dead. News blackouts being in place at the time she found out a bit later he had been transferred to another ship before they set out. 

    Then he was at D Day Iwo Jima. Pretty sure he was in shore party heading right for the main landing strip at Iwo. 4 of 14 KIA. 

    Then later involved in battle of Okinawa, when the kamikazes really started. 

    Was in middle of Pacific and wrote letter to his wife and two sons saying he would never see them again because they were preparing for invasion of Japan. Then we dropped the bomb. 

    His crew called him the Old Man. Out of Navy in December 1945 at age 26. 

    These guys were YOUNG. 

    He didnt say a lot about it but I knew enough. Said the kamikazes at Okinawa were scarier than Iwo. When he died we went through his personal effects. I have a big Iwo Jima G-2 situation map that he took ashore on my wall, with the ships orders of the day as provenance. 

    Look at it every day and think about what those men went through and I am thankful.

  12. Thought Baalke and Harbaugh were at odds in SF. 

    Then again Harbaugh seems to piss off everybody by Year 5. 

    Urban needs to get as many NFL guys on staff as possible. Jax has more capital than anyone for building a team. Its really going to come down to drafting well [Trevor Lawrence better be as advertised]
