  1. Did you know that the all time assists per game leader for the San Antonio Spurs for a point guard that played at least 200 hundred games had an offer sheet of Providence College before the Big East and the University of Indiana AT Pennsylvania because his brother went there before we offered him. He would have been a 2 star at best. There are kids that everyone wants that never do much and there are kids under the radar that turn out to be amazing additions to their team. Just let them make it campus before writing them off. If they sit at the end of the bench for their entire career, then everyone was right, If they turn out to be major contributors, good for them.
  2. So you don't have an answer.
  3. How do you know that those kids were horrible before they even stepped on campus?
  4. That mindless idiot is a big reason why college basketball is as popular as it is today. I understand young people thinking like you do but once upon a time, the hoops landscape was much different.
  5. Welcome to the Longhorn Basketball Family. Study hard. Work hard and life can be wonderful for you and your family.
  6. Correct and not only did some teams get a bye in the first round but some played a game on their home court.
  7. at gregory I and my friend were asked to please be quiet as he was trying to study. we redoubled our volume. sheesh. In fairness to him, there were a couple of games where he was probably good to study. lol
  8. Congrats to the Bears. They have come a long way from the old SWC days playing at the HOT. Great job.
  9. Wally, I met John Wooden I believe at the first game that was played at the Drum. Gregory was sort of a 2 edged sword. We had one game when the paid attendance was 17. Thats right. 17. Wasn't even enough for meal money. Granted the weather was horrible but damn. But when some of those SWC teams and the dirt burglars came to town, that place was packed and the fans were incredible. The best part was that the fans were right on the court literally. When I sat on the bench, my shoes were physically on the court line and I had size 11 shoes.. There were bleachers on the stage when the fans were going crazy, especially during a timeout, the band was blaring and you couldn't hear a word the coaches were saying. One of our best fans was a guy named Marty I think. He would always sit on the first row straddling the half court line and was constantly letting the refs hear it. He was hysterical and I have to believe that the refs would privately tell you that they also thought he was great. I don't know how big Moody is going to be but I hope the fans will be close to the court. Its not the number of fans at a game but the configuration of the gym.
  10. Abe also had sellouts. And we had sellouts at Gregory when the aggy, pigs, dirt burglars and other teams came to town. The crowds were amazing at those games.
  11. Out freaking standing!
  12. Another year of coaching would be huge for the young man long term. Great move if it happens and I wonder if some of that is coming from his Dad.
  13. Welcome home Coach. Can't wait to see all the great things that you and the young men accomplish both on and off the court.
  14. DJ just traded to the Rockets. PJ headed to Milwaukee. Shoe stores in Houston are in mourning. Welcome home DJ.
  15. Thats just wrong. They pulled the same crap on us when we won the SWC championship in Waco in 74. We came back after the game excited to see the tower lit and it wasn't. I think we got back to campus around 1 in the morning and one of the parents was so upset as were all of us, he called maintenance and demanded that they turn the tower orange and they did.
  16. Speak up. I can't hear you.
  17. The old SWC looked at hoops as the time between football season and spring practice.
  18. caddy, good points but even worse. The Athletic Dept treated hoops as a non entity. And if someone wanted to go to a summer camp, the UIL would suspend them for the entire year if they went. Talk about the Dark Ages.
  19. Nope. I enjoy making fun of you. Its so easy.
  20. Thanks Z. Don't let you know who see this because the report talks about Kai's improvement from his freshman year to this year.
  21. Thats my point. We won and did something no team has done in the Big 12 and this little punk does nothing but complain. I have never seen a fan so butthurt about a coach leaving especially considering it was time for Coach Barnes to go. And I knew him a lot better than little gooey.
  22. Of course you don't understand. You have no real clue about game from a physical, mental or emotional viewpoint On one hand, you think Coach Smart is a bad coach. On the other hand, Bilas, Fran and others think he is a good coach. I am conflicted. Who should I believe? The guys with D1 playing and coaching experience or the guy who probably finished last in the highly regarded Backyard Basketball Warrior League. Gosh, this is a tough one. Only an idiot like you would find something to bitch about. Your schtick is worthless and I seriously doubt anyone here actually cares what you think. Great comeback guys. Keep it going.
  23. 100% correct. In addition, WVU has no business trying to get to Austin.
