  1. Also I meant to say my expectations for Texas hoops for a solid season is to wear white the first weekend (4 seed line or better). Miller has done that 7 times in his career 1/2 of which was at a place inferior to Texas. I want that 60% of the time and I will feel like the program is where it should be.
  2. Chris beard is a guy I would bet on as opposed to against winning a national title here. The fact that we didn’t get Rick Barnes the 2nd now with better tourney performance is the saddest thing that ever happened with Texas hoops.
  3. He had some really good teams at AZ. Texas will spend money. He’s a good coach. Anything can happen in the tournament. It’s a B+ hire with the ability to get better. We probably won’t win a national title with him. I would say the same about almost any coach we hire. But we might win one. He’s certainly not incapable of it.
  4. Reds over, nationals under. astros over, yanks under. I think the rangers go over- even as an astros fan.
  5. Testing looked really good I thought. His tape isn’t bad. Don’t know if he’s big enough or tough enough to fill a role on special teams or I’d have him likely to get drafted.
  6. So- Gavin Holmes might have gotten himself drafted yesterday, right? Maybe? I’d move it from like 5% to 35%.
  7. I’d love to see him on a tandem with someone where he’s responsible for 3 innings per start for a couple months. Makes so much sense to me.
  8. Tix gone to wood.
  9. Anyone want four to Fridays game? Free as always.
  10. All of this. I checked out on basketball after RT was hired bc I figured it was going to be a fiasco, but this is a good hire. He could win a national title here, just like Barnes. He probably won’t, but he’s a good enough coach that such a thing isn’t inconceivable or anything. I think he will consistently have us in the top 25 and there will be years we will be top 10. Any top 10 team can win it all in the tournament if they catch the right breaks.
  11. And I’m in the same spot I always am- having an outside punchers chance that won’t hit in the sweet 16.
  12. Anyone want 4 free tickets to tonight’s game?
  13. Sometimes I love baseball.
  14. Low point total for first round.
  15. Dah. That’s literally basically shitting on everything in the organization. I see you hacked Andrews phone and listened to the pod we recorded today.
  16. I’ve got 3 teams going in the last 4 games.
  17. If things break right on the cam and Dezenzo (and maybe melton) front end pitching stays healthy this team could win high 90’s, low 100’s. Of things play out normal in health on the mound and guys play to their average in the field it’s 90 and a playoff berth. Of the arms get decimated for a 3rd year in a row and the rookies don’t break out and Yordan gets hurt, well, that won’t be a fun watch for the year.
  18. Not even close. This is a good roster. That never was. The reason those guys open the window is because they are additive to a quality core.
  19. If smith becomes a star and Dezenzo is good the window is wide open until the end of yordans contract.
  20. Man/ I feel exactly the opposite here. if you are worried about: Altuve, Yordan, Paredes, Walker, Pena or Diaz you are doing it wrong. None of their spring matters, those guys are all at worst above average and at best awesome. That leaves 3 spots we weren’t sure about. Dezenzo and Smith look great, and Meyers even at his worst with the bat is about a league average regular when looking at his glove. the bullpen has looked awesome, the young guys look interesting- I mean- this feels like 21 to me where we’ve cycled through some important guys leaving and we have the next wave coming up and taking us back to upper 90’s and World Series contention in wins. Most exciting spring training in years to me.
  21. Lumber- went up during Covid and just continued to get out of control. Lot of saw mill places were in Canada or states that shut down for a long time and it decimated the supply chain- as I recall. affordability needs to come with smaller houses and more multi- unit. Problem with that is nobody is making the former and if you buy a condo they all seem to have a $400 maintenance fee attached to them.
  22. So, I didn’t pick the right teams but I at least picked them in the right order more or less. Strategery! This might be the most balanced post draft EV rankings ever.
  23. He was in the Gerrit Cole trade I believe with Musgrove. That ball off the face thing was bewildering. Yeah- I’ve never seen anything like that in all my years watching baseball.
  24. Sure. We also are healthier than we have been all year, probably not as bad as our record and the 11 seed is the best shot at a sweet 16 trip of any double digit seeds imo. After that who knows how brackets break. WAY more likely we find a way to lose in Dayton though.
  25. And we are done! @Huckleberrycan run his numbers and tell me he’s supposed to win and I’m supposed to finish 8th. I always seem to finish 3-5th.
