  1. TCU is in year 2 under a new coach and just went 10-15, 6-22, 8-23, 19-9 (WBIT) in the prior 4 seasons They went from 6-11 (9th in the Big 12) in 2024 to winning the Big 12 regular season and conference tournament in 2025 They are the Cinderella for their turnaround under Mark Campbell, on the back of dropping bags in the portal for HVL (Louisville/LSU), Prince (Texas/Oregon), Madison Connor (Arizona), Taylor Bigby (Oregon), Donovyan Hunter (Oregon State), Agnes Emma-Nnopu (Stanford), Madi Scherr (Oregon) UCLA was the only other program in the Elite 8 without a Final Four, but you can't call the #1 overall seed a Cinderella lol. USC, Texas and Duke trying to snap some long droughts Duke - 4 Final Fours (2006 most recent) South Carolina - 7 Final Fours Texas - 3 Final Fours (2003 most recent) USC -3 Final Fours (1986 most recent) UConn - 23 Final Fours LSU - 6 Final Fours UCLA - none before this year TCU - none
  2. To scam some idiot out of their money Think about how stupid and technologically illiterate the average person is..... The average Facebook user is probably dumber than that, and falls for AI photos, Russian propaganda and scammers.
  3. It is, in the sense that TCU has never been to a Final Four. Texas is not going to be who people are rooting for 🤣
  4. That’s the aggy talking point. He’s really only had 1 or 2 years where he underperformed substantially - one year at MSU and then 2023. And our 2023 team was so flawed after Morris went out and never recovered from her injury. He overperformed a few seasons, has met expectations or gotten close to expectations.
  5. This is a game where Texas' preseason conditioning will shine against a team who plays all their starters 33+ mpg. Press those girls for 40 minutes, wear them out, get them in foul trouble - they have no depth. Texas will keep rotating guards (Preston, Lee, Harmon, Holle, Jak) and bigs (Jones and Oldacre) as needed. Texas is the second most physical team TCU has faced all year - South Carolina crushed them. WV pressed them for 40 minutes twice and turned them over a lot, but Texas is a more elite press defense and team than WV.
  6. I think Texas will be very glad they that a) they aren't going to get pressed for 40 minutes and b) would have to keep surviving hockey style subs of 5 rested players You have to add in that Lee played 33 min and Preston 28, but Oldacre only played 9. Oldacre and Holle should be pretty rested. Tennessee did not have a single player log more than 24 minutes. Every starter logged between 21 and 24 minutes and 5 of their bench players logged between 14 and 19 minutes. TCU does not have that luxury to keep putting in fresh legs every stoppage of play.
  7. Just because I am tired of hearing about Vic's offense - Texas scored 67 in the Sweet 16 That was more or as many points scored as half the field. Duke (47) UNC (38) Ole Miss (62) ND (62) OU (59) KSU (61) USC (67) Maryland (67) And within a bucket or two of 2 other teams - SoCar (71) and TCU (71)
  8. Ah yes, Republicans continue to fuck over Afghanis when in power, after doing nothing but criticizing the other party for not supporting them more when that party is in power.
  9. I don't think he was going to make a move on Piper. I think he's stuck between trying to please his brother and keep his sister's respect. He is sort of the classic people pleaser, as the youngest child. I think Piper was taken aback because now the monastery wouldn't be HER thing. It is her way of differentiating herself from the family and someone else was trying to shoehorn. Funny enough, Lochlan probably would benefit more from it than she would. And yeah, Saxon retreated real fast on that cuck fantasy - all talk. Thought it was funny that even he thought it was weird, after getting a handy from his bro. Like, really, an old perv "catching" you in the act with his girlfriend is a bridge too far. And then tried to make a move on Chelsea by mirroring the whole "wounded bird" thing she has with Rick. He wanted to stay sober at the Full Moon Party to take advantage of Chelsea/Chloe. He tried to take advantage of Chelsea after the dinner party. But he couldn't handle Chloe initiating the fantasy/sex, instead of him. The way he repeated the mom's name - he was clearly about to reveal that Rick has it all wrong and then Goggins just went nuts on him.
  10. It's a bit chicken shit Mike White did it at a tournament a year or two back - Texas took a tie instead of an L by slowplaying an inning until the travel curfew hit.
  11. There was a lot of "Uh, no thanks on Buzz, we already did the aggy coach thing" from Maryland fans on reddit when the Buzz rumor got started.
  12. Yeah, Willard left because UMD has awful NIL and no AD. So why would Oats decide to head there? Over a rumor the football team is getting more NIL than the basketball team? Yeah, welcome to the SEC.
  13. ESPN has been pimping TCU as the Cinderella story.
  14. Agree. Same for Oats, despite some weird rumor he’s considering the Maryland job. Like, why?
  15. The graduation of the COVID seniors will help a lot. Too many 22-23 year olds playing against 18-19 year olds. The portal will still keep the talent relatively near the top, but there’s a lot of guys who should be NBA/G-league/overseas rookies who are playing in their 4th/5th/6th tournament
  16. I’m gonna need a couple Lorazepams
  17. Yep, I hope There’s an episode 8 payoff but at this point, I feel like the episode needs to be 120 minutes of to wrap up every plot line Ratliffes legal trouble Saxon/Lochlan awkwardness Piper Belinda and Greggary Rick and his dad (?) Gaitok The 3 girls The robbers/Russians Chelsea and Rick
  18. Auburn’s starting 5 is almost 23 years old by average. Duke really bucks the old experience team by bc of Flagg and Knueppel
  19. So it's basically the Heisman
  20. They also start 4 guards + Prince, so I expect Texas to go Harmon, Lee, Holle, Booker, Jones to start this one. Preston off the bench is the instant spark with fresh legs and speed for days - have fun with that, TCU. And 6'6 Oldacre comes in, as well as 6'2 Jak who is all length with those arms.
  21. TCU has played 3 postseason games, like us Against FDU, their starters played 28, 25, 32, 28, 36 Against Louisville, their starters played 40, 39, 37, 38, 40 (in a 15 point win) Against ND, their starters played 38, 33, 38, 37, 39 They are not deep. Texas needs to go full court for 40 min, wear them out, get them in foul trouble Harmon/Preston have to hound the shit out of HVL and make it hell for her Holle and Lee will need to contain Madison Connor, who is shooting 46% from deep. Run her off the line and don't ever lose her Texas in those same 3 games: W&M 27, 20, 23, 26, 28 minutes Illinois 35, 24, 24, 34, 29 Tennessee 33, 31, 21, 37, 8 The most minutes a Texas starter has played in 37 minutes (Rori) against Tennessee. Texas has only had 5 starters play more than 30 minutes so far in the tournament. TCU has had 11 starters play more than 30 minutes.
  22. Frank Reich is the interim at Stanford. Luck’s coach his final year in the NFL
  23. The computers have settled around Texas 8-9 points, so 7.5 is about right. Both Massey (9.5) and Warren Nolan (8 points) are basically in line with Vegas (7.5)
  24. #5 in D1 Softball RPI We won 2/3 from #1 Florida at Florida We play #4 LSU at home We play #9 OU on the road We swept #10 Auburn at home We won against #11 Arizona on the road We play #13 Tennessee at home We have a loss to #15 Stanford at a neutral site We play #19 OKST in a midweek on the road We took 2/3 from #20 MSST on the road We took 2 from #22 Tech at home We won a game versus #24 Ohio State on the road Texas is 11-3 against the top 25 in RPI, with 10 more games to play. Of those 11 top 25 wins, only 5 are at home (Auburn + Tech). Of those 10 remaining top 25 RPI games, 4 are on the road (OKST + OU) and 6 at home (LSU/Tenn) Mizzou is #31, despite their 18-18 record, and will be 3 road contests Our remaining contests that are not top 25: Mizzou #31 TXST #43 Kentucky #30 So we finish our regular season with our easiest contest being a midweek versus TXST
  25. #5 in D1 baseball - Oregon State fell from 5 to 11 and Texas jumped #6 Clemson
