Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

He'd be fantastic on the OAN pre-game show. -

Spurs 2025 Off Season Thread - Popping Off
Mitch Cumsteen replied to Mitch Cumsteen's topic in Basketball
Media day has officially started: And Fox is already out for the first couple of games with a hamstring. Great. It's about time to start the season thread. I can't think of anything snappy right now for a title. Any ideas? -

Not only that, Sark inherited a winless team there. Washington was 0-12 the season before he got there. He walked into a mess and even while he was half in the bag he built that program into respectability. From what my son tells me, there's also a gigantic infiltration of cocaine at Ole Miss. All his high school buddies who ended up there are doing rails like we used to pound Pearl Light in college. And lots of whippets, although they call it something else now. Nothing says prim and proper like blow and nitrous. Hotty Toddy. -
Spurs 2025 Off Season Thread - Popping Off
Mitch Cumsteen replied to Mitch Cumsteen's topic in Basketball
We need to take a hard look at the state of the western conference right now. OKC is still going to be a motherfucker. Pencil them in for 60 unless they have the injury bug. Denver should be much better. Houston should be much better but losing FVV is a blow for them. The rest of the conference? Minnesota is still solid but didn’t do anything to improve. Memphis is a mystery. I don’t think the Lakers are any better. They have nothing inside unless you think Deandre Ayton got a brain transplant this off season. Does anybody think the Warriors can hold up for 82 games? Phoenix is a mess. The Clippers have their whole thing going on. Sacramento is going to be bad. Dallas isn’t going to have Kyrie and I don’t think Flagg is going to move the needle in year 1 with what has been a Luka-centric roster that’s now very poorly constructed. Portland isn’t serious and neither is New Orleans. Utah blows. Did I miss anyone? Last year I thought the team would be better than the record reflected. This year? I think a lot of teams in the west are on the brink of implosion. If things break right and they can stay healthy, this is a team that can make the playoffs and avoid the play in. We didn’t get to see Fox and Wemby together. They are going to be a filthy pick and roll combo. They added some real vets and depth in the front court with Olynyk and Kornet. Castle in year 2 is going to be a stud. No idea what they’re going to get out of Harper but if he’s half as good as I think he’s going to be, he’s going to be a nightmare to keep out of the paint. They went from Devin Vassell being their second best player to him being about their fourth or fifth best player. This is now a legit nba roster. I’m thinking they have an outside shot at getting to 50. I’ve also had about 20 beers today watching football fwiw I’m fired up for this season to get started. We’ve been wandering around the desert for too long. GSG -
Venables gets a mulligan if they sit Mateer and get beat by Texas. Nobody is going to blame him. He needs to sit Mateer for self-preservation unless the dude is anywhere close to 100%.

That Oblate Cafe used be another Mexican food joint. I can't remember the name of it but it was pretty solid too. It actually is probably close to 50 years old. The Blanco Cafe controversy is a feud between different family members IIRC. The details escape me after all these years, but I think it made for some pretty uncomfortable holiday gatherings.

NBA Offseason Thread 2025 - Fuck OKC
Mitch Cumsteen replied to Message Board User's topic in Basketball
It's a question of how much of his being fat as fuck contributed to those injuries. He had a meniscus tear, a foot fracture that cost him an entire season, he hurt his back last year right before the playoffs, and then there's been a myriad of other leg injuries -- hamstring, ankle, toe, calf, etc. I could see a world where his body isn't carrying such a heavy load and then he stays healthy. In the few times that his body has been right, he's been close to unstoppable. But for sure he'll stay healthy this year, get a max contract extension (Joe Dumars in the house now running shit), snd put on 50 lbs of fat next off season. The Pels, for all of their lottery luck, really can't seem to get a break. -
Nikkis is still open? Really? Are you shitting me? Do they still have gigantic fucking sushi rolls that make it damn near impossible to eat with chopsticks? Do you still have to sit on that nasty ass carpet?
-
Yes. As is everything at Garcias. Carne guisada. Puerco guisada. Brisket nachos. Everything is fantastic there.

True, but 31 isn't exactly ancient. It's not like you're trotting 40 year old Chris Paul out there. If healthy, I'd imagine FVV could still go 35 minutes a night. I don't know about the shotmaking role, though. They are going to need more than KD to stretch the floor if Sheppard can't cut it. Teams are going to pack it in the lane on them and dare them to beat them from outside. And KD jacks a surprisingly low number of threes for how great of a shooter he is.
-
Say what you will about his overall production, FVV has put up some absolute monster playoff performances over his career. Dude is clutch as hell and has done it when the stakes were at their absolute highest. Those on the court things aren't easily replaceable. I didn't see anything from (my admittedly limited and Spurs fan-biased) watching of Reed Sheppard last year that leads me to believe he will be a NBA level starting guard. He looked so small and physically overmatched. Jury is still way out on him and he was just a 20 year old rookie on sporadic minutes, but I wasn't very impressed.

Surgery on throwing hand thumb, correct?
-
I agree with you 100% but I'd also like to point out they paid him a shitload in NIL. Notwithstanding how much cash they had already burned on him up that point, I don't know enough about how those deals are structured month to month or whatever, but it may not have been purely altruistic on his part.

Game Week Thread 2025 Game Week 4: Sam Houston @ Texas
Mitch Cumsteen replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
I went through the same exercise. If you look hard enough you will discover that it is going to be recorded later in the week when I suppose they show it on the sec network. It’s some bullshit. -
Blah blah blah South Austin's mom... blah blah blah.

That's great news. Can he play QB?

Texas A&M Football 2025 - On the Edge of Glory(holes)

You probably have the right perspective on this, but I just can't find myself pulling for A&M. Or for Notre Dame either for that matter. Rooting hard for the earthquake. -
SEC 2025: Never invite a vampire into your home
Mitch Cumsteen replied to Mitch Cumsteen's topic in Football
I'm trying to keep this thread going where we get some actual SEC football discussion. There are some really interesting games this week as we get into conference play: Georgia at Tennessee - Georgia is a 3.5 point favorite on the road. They have a tendency to look like crap against garbage opponents and then show up when they need to, but does anyone really believe in Gunner Stockton, much less believe in him and Mike Bobo on the road? Georgia is really young this year. Still talented as hell, but young. Arkansas at Ole Miss - The hogs have demolished two bad teams and their QB can be a problem, but they are 7 point dogs at Ole Miss at night. Austin Simmons got injured last week against Kentucky but he's listed as probable. This seems like a game that Ole Miss has no business losing, but inexplicably finds a way to do so just to reaffirm their fans lot in life. Florida at LSU - LSU is a 7.5 favorite at night in Death Valley against a Florida team with its back against the wall. LSU somehow lost to them last year in the swamp. I think Nussmeyer is one of the most overrated players in the country, but LSU looks a ton better on defense. I gotta think LSU puts some more nails in Sunbelt Billy's coffin on Saturday. Vandy at South Carolina - I never thought I would be fired up to watch Vanderbilt play South Carolina, but here we are. This game has two of the most interesting and dynamic QBs in the conference. This is a sneaky huge game and should be a great environment at night in Columbia. A&M at Notre Dame - ND has had two weeks prepare and the rest of their schedule is mostly dogshit. So for playoff purposes they need a W badly against a team with a "name", as much as A&M qualifies as a name. A&M is notoriously horrible on the road. The Irish are 6.5 point favorites. I don't think ND is anything special, but I would be stunned if A&M beat them in South Bend at night. Wisconsin at Bama - I guess Bama got right last week, but they are laying 21 at home against Wisconsin in an early start. That seems like a ton of points for a team that got pasted by Florida State week 1. I still think Luke Fickell is a decent enough coach and they are running a new offense with Jeff Grimes (remember when Mack Brown desperately tried to make him the highest paid OL coach in the country and he told Mack, "hell no") as OC and have a bunch of transfers... so maybe they're improved? If this game is even competitive in the late third/early fourth quarter I can't even imagine the pucker factor for Kalen Deboer. OU at Temple - The Sooners should kill them, but that's a horrible sandwich game for them (between Michigan and Auburn) on the road with an early start on the east coast against a team with a really good coach. I'm not ballsy enough to pick Temple, but this one has a lot of potential for some early hilarity. That line went from OU - 26.5 to OU -21.5. That's huge movement without a significant injury. Just saying... The rest of the conference plays a bunch of tomato cans, but overall this is a pretty good slate. I was never that fired up to move to the SEC, but there are more interesting games this Saturday in this conference than there were in an entire season in the Big 12. -
I think a let down against SJSU should have been expected. They had just lost "the biggest opening game in the history of college football" against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. They put so much into that game all offseason, got their bubble burst, and then had an early start against a team that plays a completely different style than they typically see. There's obviously a lot to clean up, but I don't know how you could expect them to be as dialed in as they were against Ohio State. I think we're going to be okay.

For me, there are four things that stand out that make this so egregious: The termination of the deal if Kawhi didn't play for the Clippers The no show element of the contract where he got paid for doing nothing, especially with the crazy number of dollars involved The $48 million total amount was equivalent to the $50 million Ballmer invested in the company The allegations of Uncle Dennis and his team asking for under the table deals and endorsement guarantees when Kawhi was a free agent. You already knew they were unscrupulous from the way they handled that plus their dealings with the Spurs. There are just too many coincidences for me to believe that this is anything other than a blatant move to circumvent the salary cap. I don't think that the league can sweep all of this under the rug so to me the bigger question is, what are they going to do about it? If David Stern were still commissioner, there would be hell to pay. I don't know that Silver has the balls to do administer such a beatdown.

2024 Texas GameDay Stadium Experience Thread
Mitch Cumsteen replied to TrashMaster G's topic in Football
I couldn’t have a conversation with my daughter sitting next to me without yelling. The volume remains an abomination, an unyielding, unrelenting, constant assault on the senses. Also the rotating pictures of our players on the video board is just stupid. If a guy makes a play and you want to show his pic/bio, sure that makes sense. But I don’t get the rotating slide show. A complete waste of space I think I’m done with the home games, which absolutely sucks now that I have a kid at UT. I’ll see you in Dallas but otherwise?
