  1. Ok but on the other hand…
  2. No, just plans within plans within plans.
  3. He’s basically Walter minus the trip to Omaha that took 14 years. 2 supers in 6 years at program that didn’t even know they had baseball. I think he’s a quality option but obviously lower on the list of candidates.
  4. What do we think about Mingione at Kentucky?
  5. For the Messiah aspects sure but the BG stuff being discussed is pretty much in Dune parts 1&2. Adding more context from the book doesn’t spoil much even if you want to read it. In my opinion if you enter a movie thread close to 2 months post release then it should be a given there will be spoilers/discussion about the film.
  6. I think we might be past using spoilers.
  7. The timeline jump doesn’t bother me that much. In the book we’re here then boom, 2 years later. I don’t think the films condensed version hurts the overarching story outside Alia. I agree with rimbo on the way Herbert portrayed her in the book and how it’s extremely hard to pull off on screen. Having Alia be basically the same thing but inside of Jessica and mainly talking through Jessica was a nice substitute imo.
  8. I think the University will re-hire, right?
  9. So you’re telling me our 2 best players, who are sophomores but age wise are still draft eligible? Christ on cracker the next coach better be persuasive. Thank the lord
  10. Yep, he can drive it anywhere. Is he draft eligible?
  11. I wonder if Danny feeling his seat getting hot, and the pressure to get better results, has made him be a little more outward with his emotions.
  12. Has he ever been this vocal about stuff like this?
  13. I’d be fuming if I was Daniel. What felt like the first weekend where he was putting it all together and could leave with momentum to build on, only to get stupidly punted by stroll and get a very harsh 3 grid penalty for the next race.
  14. The way Nico talks makes it sound like he could cry at any moment.
  15. Kennedy is going to be pretty good but his freshman moments seem to hit at the worst times. edit: about his error, not the hustle play in dp depth.
  16. Oh lord Max
  17. Yep. He was a real asset as a volunteer assistant for Pierce on the coaching side of things. I don’t want a guy that hasn’t been a head coach at any college program being the next coach at Texas.
  18. Not sure I would jump on the Tulo train or have him in my top list of candidates. We obviously are behind on the recruiting front with Pierce. Can Tulo fill that gap on the recruiting trail and maybe even attract more kids to the college route?
  19. I 100% agree. I think Kendal is just giving Pierce the benefit of the doubt and going with what Pierce has done in the past to maybe give himself a chance in the future. I certainly hope that if Pierce makes a run in the conference tournament and find himself in a regional, cdc doesn’t think that should qualify him for another year.
  20. That is basically saying postseason or he’s done. He sees just like everyone else we’ve struggled with the bottom of the barrel teams and now to make the postseason they have to replicate what happened in Manhattan, multiple times. The odds are heavily stacked against Pierce but this league is ass for the most part so who knows for sure at this point.
  21. Pierce developed way better than Herman did, and he acquired better overall talent just not at the rate that he should as a coach at Texas. I’ll also say that players tended to play hard for both coaches. Especially for Herman, we are were always physical. I think the assistants angle looking more on point as the days go by. Have the same staff for most of your tenure then switch it up when cracks start to show. They’re both pretty stubborn as well.
  22. The thing with Pierce is I’m not sure there is a good enough comparison for recently fired Texas coaches. He actually has skins on the wall. I guess Herman fits but even then what did he do outside of the sugar bowl year relative to Pierce? Pierce went to the CWS 3 times and won or shared the conference title multiple times. We’re rightfully going to fire a coach that a large majority of programs wouldn’t even think about firing if they found themselves in the same situation. Not sure Herman, Chuckles, Shaka etc, fall under that assumption.
  23. Chuckles and Pierce is a horrible comparison.
  24. I think the long ball is overrating the team’s hitting a bit. I don’t know what a coach is to do when they’ve shown the ability to hit but not in clutch situations. What’s the answer? They’re just simply not consistently good in high leverage situations imo. I can remember a recent game where got like 4 runs on 12 hits. We start to do damage with 2 outs a lot of times which is playing with fire. One inning we could have 4 hits with only 1 run to show for because they’re playing with 1 remaining out. Pitching is what it is, a complete failure.
