  1. Man, I needed to see that. Thank you, Chendall.
  2. And I certainly don't recall KD being a freshman at UT in 2011. Only about four years off there, broadcast crew.
  3. VICTOR: STOP CHUCKING 3s!!! YOU ARE NOT STEPH CURRY! I love Wemby, but 45 percent of his shots this season have been from deep. He's converting 22.6 percent of those, versus 56 percent from inside the arc. Even if he made 35 percent of his 3s--which he might by season's end--he's rewarding the defense. Seriously, I dunno how the coaches can handle it. It's probably what put Pop in the hospital.
  4. I was making a horrible and wholly unoriginal pun.
  5. Wrong. It was the Byzantine Empire, but the city was known as Byzantium. Until it wasn't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantium
  6. Pretty sure the Pentagon started picking up the tab in late 2022 or '23, so once again, Elon thrives off the gubmint tit. Which would be fine so long as he didn't rail against others who profit from federal subsidies or get credited with some sort of altruistic donation.
  7. That commentary got ... awkward. Someone needs to play that back for him and advise him to never hold his note like that again, or at least learn to do a much, much better imitation of Andres Cantor.
  8. You're not going to have any turkey? Is that because it's so close to Thanksgiving, aka Turkey Day? Oh, well. You're missing out if you've never had turkey in Turkey. Turkish turkey doner kebab is especially delicious. Of course, the real mystery is how turkeys ended up in Turkey. And will the Turks change its name, just as they did to Constantinople/Byzantium?
  9. Spurs and Rockets, Part III, tonight. It is monumentally stupid that three of their first eight games are against each other.
  10. We got some ballaz. Just a matter of keeping them healthy and having a coach who can develop a strategy/system that maximizes their abilities and hides their deficiencies. For the first time in many, many years, I feel like we might have that coach. But is there enough time for it all to come together?
  11. After the first few conference games last season, I was ready to charter a plane and fly a banner. But the team rallied and ended up having a "par" season by Texas standards. It's disappointing that our 'Horns looked undisciplined last night and, worse, the defensive effort was poor. However, they've got some time to figure things out. They've also got what appears to be the most dynamic and polished freshman to step on campus since No.35. Maybe y'all are right--maybe Terry is in over his head and this team will have a middling campaign, but making that judgment after one game seems terribly premature.
  12. Once again, proof that we are all one and the same.
  13. Even CP's set pieces are world class these days ...
  14. Refs missed an obvious penalty. Mahomes was sacked, so that means there clearly should've been a personal foul on the defense, automatic first down.
  15. If Rashida requires consoling, I'm available.
  16. Most of the OL would have to be replaced, a running back or two, and then solid Nos. 2 and 3 receivers behind Lamb. So that's six upgrades needed ... just on offense. On defense, a pure rush end, a bona fide 1 technique, another linebacker, and some corners/safeties who can cover and stay healthy ... so at least five more there. So basically, you'd have to replace/upgrade half the team to have a contender. But Jerruh gonna Jerruh.
  17. LoL Turpin's drop sums up this offense perfectly. Couple of overpaid playmakers surrounded by unreliable trash and absolutely no depth.
  18. No accident that the Slim Reaper is in the background of that pic. Former teammates and two Longhorn Legends.
  19. Dallas burned a timeout to prepare for that fourth-down play, btw.
