  1. I am buying that JT did what he is being accused of, but this is my point that if he can come out and say "I had a problem and fucked up but then I got help for it and haven't done any of those things in 10 years" then it could go a long way. Or - 12 more women could come forward and say "he jizzed on me 2 years ago" and then it starts to look even worse. We don't know yet and I won't speculate - but I'm going to assume that he was a freak between '12 and '16 and deserves to face the fallout.
  2. Quinn vs. Sam is the debate - y'all trying to argue Quinn vs. Colt are fucking delusional and need to be strapped into a chair and forced to watch all of Colt's 45 wins. No he didn't. Not even close, frankly.
  3. That seems absurdly high.
  4. If they put Lowell on the call I'm going to do some things - many of them illegal.
  5. Well they're tearing it up through 18. JT continues to play well. He Rory and Scheff all with nice opening rounds. Spieth with a pedestrian but not terrible 70 today.
  6. They only have the 9th worst record right now. Our pick may wind up better than theirs (you could let SAC choose, I suppose). The odds either of those picks turns into someone as good as Fox is very, very low and the Fox timeline would be better for Wemby. What you need to be focused on is the part where we get out from under the KJ and ZC money. But idk if the Kings would fall for that.
  7. Well - it's a win that likely bumps you a seed-line if you don't drop said head-scratcher. But this team isn't exactly worried about seeding right now. The difference between a 6/7/8/9 isn't always super material. The way I'd phrase it is it isn't a loss that keeps you out of the tournament 🤷
  8. Yeah but they do this thing called "play defense". There isn't coaching no matter who is on the floor. One of them needs to become serviceable from 3 if we hang on to both. I love Sochan but he is a lot less untradeable than Castle.
  9. I suggested this trade the other day and then someone on sbnation suggested the exact same thing. I would do this in half a second if I'm the Spurs. Sacramento might want an NBA player as part of the deal, however. But if they're going to blow it up and go rebuild mode then KJ and Collins will eat salary and keep your wins from getting too high. Those 1st will likely not be great but it's still 1st round picks.
  10. Pope does it to himself. He's crazy talented and can heat-up at times but he isn't a very high IQ player offensively. Way too much dribbling the air out of the ball bullshit and untimely isos where the ball doesn't move more than once the entire possession. The Tre and Kaluma isos are frankly not bad college basketball offense. Both of those guys are that good - although Tre's decision making is obviously still raw. It's the shit around it that needs to be cleaned up. The Kent dunk miss followed by the frustration foul was horrendous. I was glad that RT immediately put his ass back on the pine - but those are the types of plays that lose this team games. The Tre iso attempt where he got his pocket picked was really bad but it's the shit that this team has to live with. You take the good with the bad with someone that talented. Ole Miss was at home desperate for a win and you could make the argument they should have lost. This Texas team doesn't suck - but they are playing with some very thin margins and need to take care of business down the stretch. Especially at home. *** Also on Pope - his AST/TO is actually better with Texas vs. last season and his shooting #s are the same. And he isn't playing in a dogshit conference. So saying he was more productive last season isn't really true.
  11. I agree and think that's fair. I wonder if he gets another season with a 1st round bounce in the dance. I wouldn't give him one but I watched us hang on to Shaka for 6 years. Could always depend on what CDC can pull off behind the scenes and who is out there/has interest. I just don't think you fire a coach that keeps winning tournament games at Texas. Regardless of where anyone thinks the program should be.
  12. Nothing about that game changes how I view this team. I dont think there's much new to discuss and NET and KenPom both bear that out. Johnson had a look to (likely) win on the road against another ranked team and he missed it. I still think it's a 9ish win SEC team that could win a tourney game or two. The next 2 games are much more important.
  13. He's kind of been the same dude at Marquette. So far in the dance he's gotten shellacked in an 8/9 game (which, tbf, was against eventual runner-up UNC), won a 2/15 matchup then lost the 2/7 game, and won a 2/15, won a 2/10 and lost a 2/11. It's honestly the same underperforming bullshit with more consistency in the regular season and one good tourney win.
  14. I get it - but sometimes that steel on steel is what makes players great. I don't know if he would or wouldn't do well in the PL but I could see either outcome. Tangentially - looking like we might need ol' Joshy in the Nation's League. He and BV are our top 2 9s with Pepi and Flo out, correct?
  15. Uh oh. Federal prosecutors investigating whether Terry Rozier manipulated performance as part of illegal sports betting scheme https://hoopshype.com/2025/01/30/federal-prosecutors-investigating-whether-terry-rozier-manipulated-performance-as-part-of-illegal-sports-betting-scheme/
  16. I'm not sure I've ever seen a dude at Texas turn it around in one season the way he did. He was an outright ass-whipping that first season and then totally effervescent in 2023. Went from a guy I couldn't stand to one of my favorite players ever at Texas.
  17. I think post MeToo 13 years is getting up there. Not that it matters much outside of the criminal aspect. He either did it or he didn't and it doesn't look good.
  18. I think you can both celebrate/appreciate his career and admonish the sexual harassment.

    The average sports-IQ on reddit isn't very high. Tell them to look at average attendance, ticket prices, and concession and merch sales. It isn't complicated.
  20. I don't understand why some of you are so afraid of the PL. Why wouldn't Pepi do well there? And for $35M plus? You have to take that money. Like others have said, though, PSV is in no hurry to sell the kid.
  21. Yeah it's always interesting when there's such a timelihe gap. I get WHY there is sometimes. Maybe he had a problem and got help for it and cleaned his act up. Probably best case scenario for JT but coupled with the season he just had may be the end of the road for him. We'll see if other ladies come out that have had it happen more recently and then he'd be really cooked.
  22. That's fair. I think The Dark Knight is his real masterpiece.
  23. Nolan got his due with Oppenheimer.
  24. Both of you need help. God damn.
