I think tonight's game might tell us a lot.

I'm curious to see what we look like with Vassell back.

This is a actually a good point. @Kermit and I are going to continue to be inconsolable assholes about various aspects of the team but we would like you to stick around to potentially bring the tone down every once in awhile. Let me just ask you this - what are your thoughts on Patty Mills post 2017?

Yeah dawg I don't live in the fucking woods.

This roster should not be trying to tank. Chris Paul didn't sign up to tank. In fairness - we lost to the best team in the league, on the road, without our 3rdish? best player by 12 points. I don't really have faith that Pop still knows what he's doing because he hasn't proven it yet but regardless of the HC Wemby shouldn't be clocking in performances like that. Vic needs to get his shit together and be tighter and work harder. I'm not buying any physical limitation shit - dude was one of the best 10 players in the league post-ASB last season.

No - not in all fairness. He needs to be better. You gonna swarm KD and hold him to 6 points? No - you're not. And - that said - I think you are the best team in the NBA right now.

I thought looting was legal in California.

Look -we all know they aren't all bad people or wholly incompetent at making a living - and yes they have some good schools on campus - that doesn't make aggy a better school than Texas and it doesn't make the majority of them not a bunch of irritating fucking goofballs when you accidentally venture into the wrong topic of discussion. I typically don't like people or enjoy their company based on how successful they are. I like them based on their integrity, what they believe in, and how interesting they are to be around or converse with. And I think that elite universities should strive to instill those values just as much as they strive to add commas to their graduate's pay-checks. Kids don't attend aggy to expand their world-view or broaden their horizons. They attend because they're wired in that weird fucking aggy-fashion and the school speaks to them, or they are chasing a specific degree that the school does at a high level (ag, engineering, vet) or because they didn't get in to their first or second choice. It isn't a bad way to set up your life (if its what you're into and what you value) but they aren't changing the world or moving the fucking needle down there very frequently. That said - if I'm being honest - there are things about Texas that I'm not a fan of and that I can be a bit more objective about as someone that didn't attend but has been inundated with since I was born. There are things about my own alma mater that I don't like, but obviously I'm much more subjective and biased across the board there. Every school has its pros and cons. For some folks - aggy legitimately is a better fit than Texas or Rice would be. But - if we're going to be adults about it - we all know that Texas and Rice do a lot more to break barriers and challenge the status quo than aggy ever has or ever will. Personally, I think that's the mark of a great university: somewhere game-changing ideas are born and encouraged.

It happens literally all the time. Sixteen teams averaged 89+ FGA/g last season.

There have been shitty teachers forever. Gmafb acting like it's a generational thing. Like someone else said the issue is that the job fucking sucks.

Davidson is an elite liberal arts school. Whatever the fuck Babson college is at #2 is the real WTF.

Huge moment for LeBron and Bronny as the latter gets his first points in the NBA. (Lakers 110 - Cavaliers 134)

I think you're right. I bet it's at least 16 years before they win another one.

Cheating used to be about handing players money under the table, creative abuse of scholarship limits, and sanctioned PED programs. This game used to have morals, dammit.

Yeah I don't think anyone here is sold on Champagne.

Need DV back. We're also playing the best team in the league on the road. Didn't have the highest of expectations going in.

Agree. SMU/Pitt is on fucking ACCN this weekend.

Yeah this was my first thought. A ton of kids going into O&G, too.

Um. Texas definitely wants it's students to graduate. Every university does. Texas has a higher rate than aggy...

Oof that's brilliant

Love that GnR song. "It's still fucking 90 degrees outside" rain.

Either silverbacks and grizzlies or silverbacks and crocs (or gators or wev those are)

God that guy is the worst fucking commentator. I remember one of Pulisic's first electric goals w Milan he totally ruined.

Probably the biggest game SMU has played post death penalty. Ford will be rocking for homecoming weekend. It's hard to imagine Jennings is as bad as he was against Dook. I think if SMU plays fairly clean and assignment sound on both sides of the ball it's going to be pretty uphill for Pitt. But this should easily be the 2nd best team we've played and Pitt has a solid chance coming in.
