  1. Schlossnagle’s press conference after their defeat sounds a lot like Roy Williams’ 2003 interview when asked whether he would be taking the job at North Carolina. Both made reference to how selfish it would be to even think about it in the moment. Williams left for North Carolina anyway. Schloss may not be the guy, but that press conference shouldn’t convince anyone of what he will do.
  2. Houston's ability to draw Latin fans is second to none. Colombia has put 25,000 more people at NRG than the U.S. could put at Jerry World. Every Latin team is going to be hoping for Houston in the upcoming World Cup. It will be a huge home field advantage for them.
  3. Incredible that we went from Bo Davis recruiting DL … to someone even worse. Rare miss by Sark. Defensive side of the ball is seriously deficient from a recruiting rainmaker perspective
  4. That’s what happens when you have a bunch of JAG assistants on defense
  5. All that good news just to maybe sneak into the top 25
  6. Fire David Pierce no matter what
  7. Time to get Cream Abdul-Jabbar and send Shedrick to the bench
  8. It seems like trades involving Chris Paul are a fleecing for the team that trades him. The Hornets, Clippers, Rockets, and Suns all got fleeced when they traded him away. Only the Thunder did well.
  9. I’ve always liked Guadalajara Hacienda too. Any of the places with good tortillas and the garlic butter are just nostalgic and hard to find outside of Houston
  10. Also failed to get tickets. I had 39 points
  11. The trick is going on Wednesdays for the discounted fajitas
  12. Terry doesn't teach rebounding, defense, or make adjustments. He has a 40% hit rate out of the portal and loves the scrubs from low D1 teams. He gets his ass kicked by Scott Drew. I understand we aren't just going to fire him right away, but this is what I expected when we hired him, and I don't see that changing. We just aren't fundamentally sound. That effort when Disu went down was embarrassing. I'm not going to blame free throw disparity when I have seen the Big 12 refs do it to us over and over. Great teams play defense, make adjustments, something. We aren't going anywhere without Disu, but could we at least try?
  13. A Texas-Marquette game would be 55-50 with both teams refusing to rebound and turning the ball over 20 times.
  14. The pre-scan anxiety is real. My scans are on Tuesday, and warn people in advance that I’ll get more anxious as we get closer but will be fine. I’m now about eight months into remission. Just one more good set of scans should get more through graduation of business school, then I can come back to Texas.
  15. I can't stand UConn or Hurley but hate Shaka even more. glad he's getting folded like a cheap lawn chair.
  16. Bad coaches are overconfident in their abilities to fix bad players and form rosters around them. Terry came in here thinking he could win with a horrible backcourt, no rebounding, and no defense. He thought he could just add scrubs like Onyema, Shedrick, and Horton to replace our two blue chips, Holland and Johnson. Sure, it could just be the result of transition and a lack of foresight for one year. But there's no culture or identity with this team, and I can't say anyone has really improved other than Weaver and maybe Disu coming back from injury. There's no indication that Terry will ever be much better than he was at previous stops, and his track record isn't good. We care too much about optics, but if a good coach like Lloyd was available, I wouldn't hesitate to move on from Terry.
  17. SEC fans are creating this narrative that we are some sort of precious snowflakes who have never been to an away game before. Those of us who went to Tuscaloosa last year were dishing it back in the Bama fans' faces before the game because we're used to it, and I think it caught a lot of them off guard. Since most SEC teams don't have a lot of history with us, they really don't have a lot of ammunition to use and will come at us with their lame horns down comments. There's nothing scary about it, and none of us - from the players to the fans - will have any issue with it.
  18. I say we go full Mike D’Antoni and play six guys the whole game. Screw Horton and Brock
  19. 2008 with Augustin leading us
  20. That’s said about them every year, and yet they’re consistently making the second weekend and putting themselves in position to contend for the title. I would take that in a heartbeat
  21. He should transfer to a program that has an actual plan for him. Sampson at least would make him a pick-and-pop shooter and an amazing defender. Same for Scott Drew. It's reminiscent of how Shaka wasted so much talent and developed no one.
  22. Get ready for the beatdown on Monday at home from UH, a team that is actually well coached and plays defense
  23. Ithiel Horton Hears a Who!
  24. Do we have any idea yet whether Michigan will be able to retain its players, or is it going to be open season? Apologies if this was already answered
