Awesome. He gets to go down as one of the biggest recruiting busts in history. I like the sound of that.

This issue is very complicated. On one hand just randomly banning an app, or forcing its sale, either because of foreign data collection or them trying to warp public views is a fairly random decision fraught with inconsistencies. On the other hand, fuck China. They ban or force modifications to US apps operating in China. But it’s really the bigger issue that needs to get addressed. This country must do something soon about the conflict between free speech and disinformation. That’s the real legislation that is needed. Because right now we have government forces suppressing free speech AND peddling disinformation to silence and/or mislead the public for their own benefit, either personally or government. We need a set of rules that individuals and companies must follow when creating and delivering information. These rules must cover all environments: online, over the air, news, entertainment, opinion, etc. and these rules do need to be based upon some basic values.

The area has a lot of rattlers.

Any idea what this is from the skin?

Yes you are quite the master baiter.

Why do fans have high expectations? Because for a brief moment the program was almost a perennial top ten. Until it wasn’t. The journey as a Texas basketball fan: Abe Lemons - This is a fun guy. He wins some. Hey wow, we just won the NIT, awesome! He’s old Boot him. Kaiser Bob - Bobby Knight disciple? He’ll be great. Oh good lord what the hell was that? That’s the worst basketball I’ve ever seen on this planet. Boot him. Tom Penders - we are so up tempo! This is great! We made the tournament! Holy cow this team never plays defense. Boot him. Rick Barnes - so that’s what defense looks like. Wow we look like a real basketball team. TJ! Final four! Durant! We are becoming a bball powerhouse. Woah, what’s wrong with Rick? Whisper whisper. Boot him. Shaka - Well he is one of the up and coming coaches. I’m sure Patterson knows what he’s doing. Plus he’s bringing Havoc with him so that should cement our standing as a perennial top ten program which is where Texas should be in all major sports. Woah, no havoc? Why is Shaka getting so weird? Nice recruiting but these teams are up and down like a yo yo. It’s all 3 point shooting live or die. Missed the tournament? Early exit again? Boot him. Chris Beard - Thank you lord! This man can coach. Wow these teams look different. Wait, he slapped who? Dammit. Boot him. Rodney Terry - Nice guy, decent recruitor but….

Wasn’t able to watch the game but the loss is no surprise. It’s an average team in the Big 12. I guess we are supposed to be excited about that because the Big 12 is a strong conference. Yay.

This post is correct. It’s called an ONT.

By the way, I’ve become a huge convert for buying more expensive quieter tires. It makes the driving experience so much nicer.

This is the best theory I’ve heard. He was getting ready to head out in a few hours and needed bait fish.

I use Consumer Reports which led to Michelins. Been buying them for years and they are very quiet. TireRack also rates them highly. Not sure what the truck tires are like.

It was great watching him win. But that t shot where he steps out of the swing could be trouble down the line. He used it all week and it was awesome, until it isn’t.

First concert ever was Boston in Feb 1979. Went with eight other guys and all wore matching football jerseys. What a bunch of dorks. But more interestingly, I sold tshirts and cokes there for years. Saw every concert in the late 70’s to the mid 80’s. U2, Van Halen, Neil Diamnond, etc. I sold you dweebs tshirts and you probably stole one from me you little basterds.

Narrator: “He didn’t”.

Of the three thousand lawyers on surly, surely one is ready to launch a class action lawsuit.

A sweet sixteen would be a helluva accomplishment.

This thread has been going in circles forever. The arguing really comes down to the fact that one group believes Terry should be getting more criticism and one group believes he shouldn’t be getting that much criticism. That’s because there have been quite a few data points supporting both sides of the argument. For example, during the tourney last year he let the team play up tempo and leverage their athletic ability. That’s something Beard may not have done as well. Conversely, the defense under Terry has been generally bad this year. But, he’s still beaten a few teams that are slightly better than Texas. And lost to several that were inferior. For me, inconsistency usually means there are too many coaching flaws to be successful, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t root for Terry or want him to be successful. It’s just that from my perspective right now the odds don’t look great. I hope he beats the odds.

One year we were hunting in South Dakota in -8 degree weather, walking along a creek trying to kick up pheasants. Three of us tried to cross the frozen creek and fell through up to our waist in water. All three of us scampered out super quick, only to see all three of our pants freeze solid from top to bottom. We had to all Frankenstein walk double time back to the truck asap to stave off severe frostbite. Good times.

I felt the thread was coming down on him a tad harshly for his “average” comment. But then I read his metric quote. Imagine living your life with little metrics on your wall where you constantly compare yourself to the lives of others and believe that every metric you “lead” in is cause for celebration and some bizarre confirmation of your superiority over others. What a complete misunderstanding of what life on this planet is all about. He does for sure lead in one metric: the douchebag one. He’s sky high at the top of the leaderboard of that metric.

Just listening to the announcer fawn all over Scheffler, I think they’ve been given a script to pump up the superstar rhetoric to offset the LIV losses. Scheffler’s playing great but some of the comments are a bit over the top. The PGA is definitely panicking and probably it should. These fields are less interesting now.

I often don’t agree with Derka and his persecution complex can be fatiguing, but right now he is bitch slapping you people all over this board. He is right and the chef’s kiss was giving a counter example of Dan Hurley that proved his point.

Someone please explain the appeal of this sport to me. I tried to get into it after watching the Netflix special, which was great. But I found the whole race watching experience as dull as watching paint dry. The same few guys win every time. There is little to no passing. Why is there so much appeal?

Yes. I’m not a Terry fan but he definitely has done some things to improve their play later in the year. Also, last year he let that team loose in the tournament, which I also thought was a very good coaching move. So he’s got some skills and has finished this regular season better than I thought he would given how it started. Have to give him some credit for that.

Stupid boomer. On a more serious note, I was a die hard Tapa user because I thought it was better/easier. But I just forced myself to switch and now that I’m used to the mobile version I’ll never go back. Maybe try to not be so inflexible and try something different for awhile. You can always go back.

He wasn’t talking about American voters. He was talking about this thread. Which is ridiculous.
