  1. any thoughts on Jamie Vinson?
  2. not looking good - 13 strokes off the cut line in 14th place (out of 15) - about a third of the way through the round.
  3. Johntay Cook caused a minor stir during his recruitment when he visited Texas and said something along the lines of seeing lots of swimming trophies but not a lot of football trophies. I don't think he intended it to turn into a thing, but it did, with lots of giddy shots taken at Texas by opposing fanbases. The video in the post was a visit he took to A&M shortly after - he was mindful of his previous comments and this was his way of spreading out the mockery. He knew he was going to be asked about what he thought of A&M's trophy room and pointed out the lack of trophies (this is why he said he wasn't going to have a double standard). Much ado about nothing, ultimately. Given the context it isn't the best way of making fun of A&M the way the twitter user seems to think it is, but c'est la vie.
  4. FWIW, Catalon was a bust more due to being mentally broken than anything actively physical. Let's hope the same is not true for Lole.
  5. I think it is more likely that Oldacre is the replacement for Boutilier as developmental big.
  6. I agree - I love this place for what it is - but Surly is also prone to groupthink and runaway narratives. All in all I'd rather exist in a place like Surly than Bobby's ultra sanitized board, but he does have a point. The big idea, as expressed above, is that the two places can (and should) be viewed as complementary.
  7. after the Oklahoma St. game, FWIW.
  8. TEC, §28.0256. FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION REQUIREMENT FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. (a) Before graduating from high school, each student must complete and submit a free application for federal student aid (FAFSA) or a Texas application for state financial aid (TASFA). (b) A student is not required to comply with Subsection (a) if: (1) the student's parent or other person standing in parental relation submits a signed form indicating that the parent or other person authorizes the student to decline to complete and submit the financial aid application; (2) the student signs and submits the form described by Subdivision (1) on the student's own behalf if the student is 18 years of age or older or the student's disabilities of minority have been removed for general purposes under Chapter 31, Family Code; or (3) a school counselor authorizes the student to decline to complete and subm
  9. Larry Bird was named Coach of the Year in 1997-98 (though point taken on how few good players make good coaches).
  10. They served brisket sandwiches in the locker room during the 4th quarter rain delay against Maryland.
  11. isn't it now going to be run by the 1883 Provision Company?
  12. Don't overthink this one. I think we can all be grateful he meaningfully recovered from a very serious condition and wish him well in his future endeavors.
  13. playing like a team satisfied with their game against Gonzaga and thought they'd waltz to the final four. Lazy in transition, poor offense, lack of focus.
  14. finally able to tune in...there was a reason I was asking about bigs depth earlier today. Glad to see we seem to be taking it in stride. Hopefully we can finish strong.
  15. appreciate the breakdown - would you say Faye is more in the traditional 5 role like Jones, comparable on defense but more limited on offense?
  16. I'm curious for your perspective on bigs depth - how much of a gap do you see among Jones/Gaston/Faye/Muhammad?
  17. Matt Miller's 7 round mock is very Texas friendly - 8 of the first 84 picks, 9 picks overall: 15. Murphy - Indianapolis 28. Mitchell - Buffalo 32. Worthy - Kansas City 54. Sweat - Cleveland 56. Brooks - Dallas 69. Sanders - LA Chargers 81. Ford - Seattle 84. Jones - Pittsburgh 240. Whittington - Carolina
  18. I still can't get over that jump ball at the end of regulation. What an incomprehensibly insane call to make in a critical spot. I am in awe.
  19. this smug, know it all announcer who has to insert himself into every single call is driving me absolutely insane.
  20. Gaston had a rough closing few minutes there. Several blown opportunities close/fumbled balls out of bounds.
