  1. Aussie Rules TD? LOL.
  2. Yeah, Purdue is much more battle ready than Tech was. I'm not sure how good of a measuring stick that game is for Painter's Crew, other than they absolutely controlled every aspect of the game, with execution on their side. Tech offered zero balance in their offensive attack. Zero on the defensive end. Purdue's starters probably have to work harder in practice... The screen shot did throw me off though because it plainly says it's final... and then I was like, "Illinois + Purdue= 2 losses" lots of work to be done by McCasland. I felt like I saw him not being the best coach he could be a couple different times in this tourney. Not calling a TO to break Wake's run before half is one example. The 4 guys standing around watching Tippin on offense was just fucked up. No movement no nothing. That's why these events are valuable though. You don't get a lot of learning against Western Prairie State.
  3. That is incorrect. Tech is 4-2.
  4. Hawkins didn't get pushed around though. Maybe Petty will grow into it- mentally as much as anything else.
  5. since when has that stopped anyone?
  6. Give Tech credit. They are leaving no doubt. 1. Christian Anderson is not a PG. He can't penetrate. Hell the offense starts from the logo, because that's as close as he can get. 2. Petty is too small to be the PG. he gets fucking worked. 3. The offense seems to be stand the fuck around and hope for a 3, unless Toppin gets his regular plays. When it's a miss, there is fucking nobody but opponents in the paint. 4. I learned last year that CMC's defense is very passive; which was a major change for us as fans. This shit tonight is from the planet bullshit. 5. CMC taking the timeouts into the lockerroom at halftime last night with Wake on a 10-0 run pissed me off. Like I said earlier, tonight he is leaving no doubt.
  7. Meh. That's why the playoffs matter. SOS is an indicator, but it's also endemic of shit people "think." I mean talking up the lower performers in the SEC definitely helps A&M on paper; but what does the eye test tell you?
  8. Last night Tech is up by 4 and Wake Forest inbounds the ball length of court, only for the receiver to immediately tap pass to guy set up outside 3 range, and he nails it. No contact. No foul. Tech wins by 1. badass shot to close out the game though. Tonight in 3rd place game, Memphis is up by 2 with 2 seconds left, and Wake basically runs the same exact play. Swish. Wake wins by 1. Amazing to see it on back to back nights by same team.
  9. If you're gonna Army the game and hog the ball, ya still gotta score. Aledo up 21-0 at half. and LMAO at DeSoto trying to game the Longview fans. Those east Texas schools travel. They give not a fuck where the game is.

    NIMBYism

    Couldn't agree more. Medical industry says Hi.

    NIMBYism

    So we need Obamacasa in addition to Obamacare, am I hearing that right? OK. I'll quit fucking around> I have discussed before being in subsidized housing when I was a kid. We lived there 4 years until my mom got situated( she had been out of the job market for 20 years and then suddenly was a single mom with 3 kids.) Every day was an effort to get the fuck out of there and they were decent apartments in a decent part of town, as in, there weren't crime issues or whatever. IMHO, that is what "affordable housing" or subsidies should be for, even if there was no defined time limit, it should not run into perpetuity either. As a taxpayer, I'm cool with that premise. Defined timelines with progress towards independence. Crazy, I know... The approach does not need to originate from "the gubmint has an endless supply of money." What's reasonable? 10 years? I know 4 isn't the answer. I just take issue with the folks who feel like they are owed, and I know you know where I'm coming from. There were people who lived in those apartments in the 80's who probably lived there until they died. That's not cool either.

    Also false. Get jobs and go earn it. I know, it's insane to say that, but people do it; or should we ignore the other results? There are always tradeoffs for different decisions in life. Too slorchy, i know, but I get sick of the "woe is us" as well as the " Government must intervene!" bullshit.
  13. The Sark thread has admittedly been better, for sure.
  14. 1. I'm not whining about anything. 2. It's all incestuous rankings and bullshit anyway. "we played 8 teams in the top 25. The only reason any SEC team lost a game is because they had to play the SEC" Yeah...Mkay. 3. Fuck Notre Dame and Fuck aggy. Those notions are hardly exclusive to 2025.
  15. Which metrics did I choose? My beef with ND and the SEC for that matter is not playing a 9 game conference schedule, but then getting Samford in November, because it's dumb. It's deliberate manipulation of competitive reality for other teams. I ain't dying on the hill of defending Tech's schedule, because it also is bullshit. I've long felt teams should schedule 1 tough game, 1 medium, and 1 cupcake in non-con. Every team should be gauge off of 9 conference games. Anything less than 9 counts as a loss. Guess what? They don't GAF about standardized schedules or my opinion on the topic; but I still get to complain.
  16. Maybe not, and A&M actually makes a great case against conference schedules this season; however Notre Dame's schedule:
  17. Congrats. Glad it turned out that way...even after the 4th & OMG play.
  18. Now show me a legal craps table... In Texas. We are so fucking blessed to be protected.
  19. Actually, the rules are pretty fucking fair on site determination.
  20. You said to ignore the first round. After that when people say "home and home" it's Team A's pick of a neutral site and if they rematch within 2 seasons( 3 years total) Team B gets their pick of the "neutral site." It is not generally their home field.
  21. That was illegal procedure on third down
  22. Plano West's snapshot number is 4914.
  23. Sorry Ghost. It's bullshit to have to make choices over someone else being an asshole( hateful.) By the same token, you shouldn't have to tolerate/ endure it either. I would lose my shit if someone said something like that about my kid's "faults" even if those faults only exist in the condescending idiot's mind. Would your kids be interested in coming to your house, or is it the "bigger family" or nothing for them?
  24. Guess what- kids that play basketball at 6A schools generally play only that sport year round as well. Nazareth girls hoops through the years would play anyone willing to schedule them. It happens in volleyball too.
