  1. Yeah they've been impressive. I wouldn't be shocked if they won outright so +10 seems like a huge amount of points to me in that game. I like taking the points on the big spreads. I rode FDU +15.5 hard last weekend. I'm on the Zags ML and K St ML tonight. Also have a parlay with over 133 in K St/MSU, over 134 in Ark/Uconn, under 136 in FAU/Tenn, and over 140 in Zags/UCLA
  2. I like Princeton +10 a whole lot
  3. He'd be an NBA starter if he could play Texas every game Dude shoots like 95% against us
  4. Especially since the fucking Supreme Court of the United States of America has ruled that it is now 100% legal NCAA should lift that poor guy's 10 year ban from coaching
  5. "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"
  6. God bless America
  7. Are you sure on where the bench is? My recollection is only the home teams fans get to sit behind their bench while the other fans sit across from their bench. Which means the “home” team is on a different end of the court for game 1 vs game 2 of the session. So one game will have Houston as the home team on one end of the arena. Their fans will be behind them while Miami fans will be kitty corner from the Houston fans on the other side of the court from the Miami bench Then game 2 Texas will be sitting where Miami was. Texas fans will be behind that bench. Xavier will be sitting where Houston was with their fans on the opposite side of the court. I’m 95% sure that’s how they do it. If someone has seats from the university down low they could help answer the question of where our bench will be. I got lucky and happened to have tickets down low on our end last year for the Purdue game. But it was pure luck. And a different end of the court from the VA Tech game.
  8. In case you needed any more reason to dislike Xavier and Sean Miller https://deadspin.com/book-richardson-prison-xavier-sweet-16-1850243540
  9. I don't want Oats anywhere near the University of Texas. Murder is worse than domestic violence. And neither of them are any fucking good. Hard pass. FOUR Bama players were at that murder scene. It's basically a team building exercise murdering a perfectly innocent 23 year old mother at that point. If you want Oats there's something fucking wrong with you IMO.
  10. I mean if RT has done a great job why would you let him go and take a chance on someone else? I feel bad for y'alls wives. You must always be thinking about how she's not as good as you could possibly do in an ideal world and fantasizing about other options. The grass is always greener. You always think that the person who is not here right now might be better than the person who is. Which is almost never true. Personally in my life I've learned to appreciate the people who are there working their asses off, trying their best, and doing a great job even if they're not the perfect ideal. Because in my experience it almost always turns out that the person you thought might be the perfect ideal from far away is not actually that great once they're there up close. Jettisoning RT for anyone short of Billy Donovan or Jay Wright makes no sense to me. And even then I'm not 100% sold. I'm sure as fuck not trying to push RT out for Oats, Musselman, etc. at this point. Again if he sucks in 3 years ok let's move on. We will still be Texas with plenty of money to attract almost anyone at that point.
  11. It's night and day if you compare the way Matt Painter coached his team in the last 10 minutes of the FDU game vs. the way RT coached his team in the last 10 minutes of the Penn State game. Painter didn't call a TO to calm them down until there was like a minute left. Painter drew up dumb plays with Edey setting picks at half court. Painter let his guys jack up 3s instead of doing the obvious and feeding Edey. Painter's guys were fucking SHOOK and scared when they went down. RT called two TOs to calm his team and end Penn State runs. RT drew up smart plays to get us good shoots. RT fed Disu instead of letting the ice cold guards shoot 3s. RT's guys were confident and didn't miss a shot after Penn State's 10-0 run to go up 3. Anyone playing the "RT doesn't do anything. He's just lucky he has Beard's players" card doesn't watch the games closely imo. Maybe his tactics won't work as well with a different set of players, but he's clearly doing things strategically, making adjustments, coming in with a solid game plan, etc. He's not just sitting there saying "attaboy!" Purdue would probably still be in the tournament if RT was their head coach.
  12. It was not but that's a good one. You can tell everyone loves RT. The one I was trying to post was Royal Ivey showing his support for RT.
  13. lol you forgot Pat Riley and Steve Kerr
  14. Wait. What did he say? Also he’s gonna win this game FTR
  15. Don’t you usually just neg everyone? You negged a comment I made last night that included a mention of my best friend tragically dying when I was 24 You are a sad, pathetic, miserable piece of shit. Fuck off
  16. If any medical professionals took my BP and BPM in the last 5 minutes of the game I would be put on very serious medication
  17. He's coached well and made great adjustments in a lot of games this year. Honestly I was a bit concerned he was sticking to the "best 5" lineup too much for the last 10 minutes of the game today but I was wrong. Yep. Winning that game while going 1 for 100 from 3 bodes well for future games. No way we shoot that poorly from 3 in any game moving forward.
  18. It's a real pleasure to see this young man play so well after his disappointing season last year.
  19. Yep. You’re 100% correct. ”This guy took over a dumpster fire and then led us to our best finish in at least 15 years but he’s not good enough” is not a logical position Especially when everyone who knows the guy seems to fucking love him
  20. Don’t worry. You’ll do better tomorrow. It’s gonna be a beautiful day to be alive!
  21. Jokes usually have a setup and punchline my man 😁
  22. My point is that I think his attitude is very helpful as a leader. These kids are dealing with all sorts of shit, I’m sure. Having a leader who says every day is a beautiful day that you should make the most of us helpful imo. I love a leader showing up every day optimistic, ready to work, encouraging them to appreciate and make the most of the day no matter what: I’m a professor and it’s worked well for me in dealing with college students the same age as our players. Young people respond to that energy in my experience. But I’m a corny ass after school special guy and I make no apologies for it. So RT really resonates with me personally Sorry to ramble. I absolutely love this team and I’m over the moon after that W
  23. Nah man. Tons of people call in sick, flake out, etc. There’s tons of people who don’t show up for their jobs, their families, their friends, etc. for whatever reason. Life is hard sometimes. When I started doing my PhD at Texas I was 24 and my best friend got killed in a random car accident one month into my first semester. Believe me when I tell you it was not nothing to show up for my classes/responsibilities and do my work at that point in time. Showing up is not nothing. Cal Ripken Jr is a legend for a reason. Because he always showed up and did his best. No matter what.
