I am not excusing anything. Coaches take chances all the time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. A coach runs a play on 4th and 1. A coach calls for a hit and run. A hoops coach tries to run a full court press to catch the other team off guard..

I do remember. We lost. But sometimes coaches have to take chances. They don't always work. I have never had crabs but if that worked for you, I am happy that you're fine.

How many games did Ibeh start instead of Ridley under Barnes when Ridley was healthy. You said that Sims was an average player. Sometimes kids like Banks don't work out and that happens in every major program. I already explained the Duke game and again that proves how little you understand. Hamm has developed under this coaching staff but to claim how well he would have done as a freshman is clueless. I have no clue about Barnett and you don't either. Maybe Coach Smart screwed up and maybe Barnett screwed up. Things like this happen when there is a change of coaches. I am staying here because you are comic relief.

The coaches see these kids every day. You don't. Brock is a redshirt so he has already gone through a year and has an understanding of what it takes at this level. Baker has had a learning curve and it look like the light may be coming on for him. After this upcoming offseason, he could become huge for us over the next couple of season. And again being a t shirt fan, you don't understand that playing time is quite often dictated by position and game situations.

Nice try little T shirt guy. Anyone that disagrees with your wisdom is insulting and belligerent. You constantly attack posters that disagree with your opinion. You went after Sam a while back on the football site and the majority of posters came at you for your stupidity. I am certainly not alone. I support the program. It doesn't mean that I like what is going on all the time. But unlike you, I support the kids regardless because unlike you, I recognize how difficult it is to get to this level and the hard work it takes to succeed at this level. You have no clue. I support Coach Smart just like I supported Coach Barnes, Coach Penders, Coach Weltlich, Coach Lemons and Coach Black. And if there is a coaching change, I will wish Coach Smart well like I have all of the others and support the new coach. And I have posted little the last 4 games. Using the Duke game proves again you have no clue. None of our big men were going to stop the Duke kid. So Coach put a smaller guy on him in hopes of creating a mismatch at the other end. But you probably never saw that in a video so you wouldn't understand. And you're the same t shirt guy tat will make a post nanoseconds after a diagramed play doesn't work but never seem to do the same when a diagramed play does work and there have been many that have. When we are televised, you may want to pay attention to the announcers because it will immediately increase your knowledge of the sport.

I am not angry. I was merely responding to your clueless comment. Of course you don't understand due to your limited knowledge of hoops.

More nonsense from the t shirt fan. Coaches don't spend time. money and effort to recruit a young man to sit him on the bench. The kid has to prove himself and sometimes it takes some kids longer than other kids. Kids at all levels get chances when there is an injury. Some kids respond positively and some kids don't. This happens in all sports at all levels. You are so clueless that you think this is a cheap shot at Coach Smart. Its not. It shows how little you really know. And, all the kids are contributing.

Its interesting that you mention those 2 considering that a number of posters earlier in the year thought that both were wasted scholarships.

You beat me to this. This is the only half out of 4 against Tech where it wasn't 2 or 3 times more fouls against us. The kids aren't afraid to shoot or make plays on their own like earlier in the year. Everyone is contributing . This game was a great win. Tomorrow its time to focus on OU. Win the last 2 and it will make it tough for the committee to keep us out and then anything can happen.. Kids play with heart and is huge.

LHN link please

I take full credit or blame.

I will take your word and hope that the kid continues to be happy.

I didn't like girls at that age because they all had cooties. At 18, I learned that cooties were not all that bad. I hope you're right about this kid and its that it has nothing to do with all of the publicity they are receiving.

Thanks LT. You're welcome on my lawn anytime.

I have an honest question. No BS answers. I hope this doesn't derail this thread. I keep reading about this stuff almost everyday. Can someone honestly tell me how a 6, 8 or 12 year old knows that he was born the wrong gender. If a girl likes to play baseball, that doesn't mean she should be a boy. To me, this seems like a desperate cry for attention like when someone in Hollywood is out of the limelight, you can bet that it won't be long before they claim that they were abused as a kid by a parent, uncle, etc. Any serious responses and if you do, I will let you on my lawn.

Maybe aggy should focus on beating Power 5 teams with a winning record. The only Power 5 team they beat last season that had a winning record was Okie Light with a part time starter and without their best receiver.

Went to my first Oiler game in 62 at Jeppesen Stadium in the rain against the NY Titans. Sold peanuts at the dome to watch all of the home games and then after college had season tickets until they announced they were leaving. I remember all of the Steeler games. We always had a late arriving crowd due to church but when ever the Steelers came to the dome, the stands were full by 11 and I suspect that many churches were empty. Bud taking my team away is another reason to hate Kansas.

Way to hang in and get the win. Not pretty but its in the W column. Tough deal having to fly to Kansas for a Monday night game. .

Where did you get that video of me. lol That made me laugh. Burt is how on old guy spells Brac, er Bro, er Braff.

Thanks Burt. I don't have an account. Would someone mind posting the link directly to LHN. Thanks from an old guy. I will let you walk on my lawn in return.

can someone post the LHN link. Thanks.

Its called development. The worst I ever saw his freshman year was a skinny kid at UH, He came from Nigeria and you wondered how he could walk and breathe at the same time. Some kids have better coaching in high school than other kids, some are physically ready for this level and for some.it takes some time for the light to come on. To write off a young man before his freshman year is over is nonsense and I am speaking in general terms and not specifically about Sims..

If I remember, aren't we 6-1 all time against Bama? Go get those 6 pictures for his OV.

So does 18 out of the last 20 years work?

If I'm not mistaken, aggy hasn't finished higher than 3rd in their Division in the past 20 years so maybe their goal should be finishing in 2nd in their division before they go for a natty. Just a thought.
