    It's John Wick Week, Motherfuckers!

    I'm going to masturbate in my theater seat on Friday. Fuck anyone who is offended. John Wick deserves all of me.

    Awww man this is going to be fun to watch in a few minutes!

    This is a movie that I am cool with a long runtime. Don’t even mind getting just 4 or 5 hours of sleep before work in the morning for this one.

    Mostly just enlightenment. Seems like it worked, so I’ve done my good deed for the month. 

    Okay sure. Thanks again. Next time a question is asked be adult enough to respond like an adult. Pancho gave me an answer like an adult would. That sufficed. You brought up things that have zero to do with what was asked. I get that’s how this board works the majority of the time, but that’s up to you how you act or respond. Be well.

    16 fucking years between sweet 16 visits. Almost, once a fucking generation

    like it or not, this is something special. Enjoy it 

     

    These rides in the tourney are really cool because you just don’t know when another one is going to happen. Hard to believe it has been that long since a Sweet 16 trip for UT.

    I didn’t recognize your handle either, yet there you are with thousands in rep. For those of us not living in the CR, when you rubes climb out of it and show up on a sports board to tell us how you have it straight and we’re all doing it wrong, you stick out like a sore thumb. I clicked your profile just to be sure and there it is - the majority of your posts are in the Cloak Room, where you’re also getting all of your pos rep. 

    Again thanks for your insight here. Not real sure what you’re going for, but enjoy the rest of the day with whatever you do.

    And I think we are doing that. The only people getting massively upset are the pro-Terry crowd who will probably start crying if we don’t hire him. The “we like Terry but prefer another coach” crowd has mostly said if we keep Terry it’s basically an “oh well, we will support him but also believe he will flame out in 3 years and we will be right back here again”—except for Loop 1604, that bro is fucking nuts. 

    When I think of this situation the first that comes to mind is Mike Davis at IU. To me this has that feel, especially if Terry keeps winning. Considering the circumstances of having to take over for a coward that hits a woman I think he’s done an admirable job, but ultimately I feel that long-term Texas is better served with a complete reset once the season ends. 
     

    Edit: Forgot to say thanks for the explanation of your stance.

    This post isn’t the flex you think it is. In fact, it really makes no sense. You have no dog in this hunt but you’re confused as to why people want/don’t want a certain coach? 

    It isn’t a flex. I don’t care to do that. I am attempting to figure out why there is so much attention given to a head coach that may or may not keep his job. I am just being honest in saying it’s odd to me to read this. Same as the football forum constantly being pissed at Sarkisian. 
     

    I do believe Texas is probably best served in hiring an entire new staff and head coach no matter what happens the rest of the tournament, but if they don’t it doesn’t matter.   Just enjoy the games and the guys playing.

    If SDSU can play like this next week, they can beat Alabama.

    They have to come into that game with a guns blazin’ mentality. If they stay aggressive and shoot from the hip they can win. They can’t be in a prone position against a team like Bama. You have to have your hand on the trigger for 40 minutes and be ready to empty the chamber if you want to beat them.

    I thought UH would go down this rd to Auburn since the bracket came out. Then they looked pretty shitty in game 1 and with the injuries I feel even more confident that it will most likely happen.

    Then again I thought Purdue wouldn't step/jump/stomp on its own dick so what the fuck do I know

    Always rest assured that even if you feel that you know nothing that you still are probably better at predicting winners than Helobious.

  10. I have no dog in this hunt, but if he gets the job that’s fine. If he doesn’t that’s alright as well. I have read many of the comments for and against keeping him long-term. Is Rodney Terry being the coach going to have such an effect on your personal life that he has to go or you’ll go into a deep depression or be perpetually angry that he stays? Is this basketball program that important to your well-being and worth as a person? 
     

    If he is not retained will there be fans so mad about it that they’ll not support a hypothetical new coach just because they wanted Terry to have the job? Whatever will happen will happen. It’s just basketball. A game played by some college athletes who are now getting  paid a little bit for the time they spend entertaining you. It’d be awesome to see Texas win a title or at least get back to a Final Four again, but man the hand-wringing over a coach is just kinda odd to me.

  11. I watched 65 on Thursday. The CGI was fantastic. The script felt rushed though seeing as how the runtime was a little over 90 minutes. They could’ve had several more dinosaur fights in it. Adam Driver is worth watching though. Just an excellent actor.

    So Oats tho allows the guy who transported the murder weapon to play, and is even celebrated. Of course he knew nothing and is automatically innocent, as he plays BB very well.....nothing to see here.

    The coward belongs in jail where he should be awaiting trial as an accessory to murder. Anyone that thinks he did not know something really bad was about to transpire with that gun probably also believes Ray Lewis was innocent too. Instead this athlete plays in the tournament because, reasons. What a time to be alive.

  13. There is a level of inherent selfishness in this country that is sickening. I do not have a magic solution to helping the homeless get back to a good place in their lives, but man they are people just like the rest of us. I try to be cognizant of the phrase “There but for the grace of God go I.” I spend a fair amount of time observing what homelessness looks like here.


    It makes me sad to see the mentally ill fall so far through the cracks that their mind is just gone. When I see a person talking nonsense all I can think of is what was that person’s life like before being homeless became a permanent station in life? We cannot help every single person, but man if you have no compassion for those who do without then I have no idea what to say to you. Millions of our fellow citizens are soulless ghouls who are happy to get theirs while so many have nothing, but the clothes they are wearing.

    Kids are supposed to meet with a Colgate alum Friday to talk about college.  That will be interesting.  

    From what I have seen of the campus before it looks pretty cool and there’s plenty of things to do outdoors there. I don’t think I have ever heard anyone talk about anything negative in regards to the school.

  15. All I know about Colgate is that it is where Adonal Foyle played. I have a really good friend from upstate in Hubbardsville, which is less than a 1000 or so people I believe, but he went to Hamilton High School and the only thing he has ever said about Colgate is that Foyle got his high school a couple of titles before he went off to play college ball. It was well before he went to high school there.

    You are spot on.
     

    I can’t remember if it was Lowe or Simmons or someone else, but I heard Silver described as a great “peace time” commissioner, but it’s time to be a war time commissioner. The league has to do away with load management somehow (I won’t pretend to know the answer). Reducing the games played seems obvious, but no business is going to willingly reduce its revenue generating inventory, so there has to be a replacement revenue stream.

    You hit players in the pocketbook. That will quickly solve load management. Sit out tomorrow? Cool. You aren’t getting paid. Teams should not have to pay for guys doing this ridiculousness. 

  17. So I have had a bunch of Marquette fans here today. I say the same thing to them. “Oh Marquette fans! The school that took Shaka Smart off UT’s hands. Sure would’ve been nice if he had run HAVOC once in his time at UT instead of waiting until he left.”
