that's gonna leave a mark. gonna be interesting to see how they fare without him. their best lineup has been smart, reaves, luka, rui, and ayton. not gonna see that lineup for another 1.5 months probably.
also, on this same episode of rogan shane brought up the plaques which trump installed, which rogan hadn’t seen. they pulled them up and read them aloud and talked about how batshit crazy it is. rogan said that this is bad “because it opens the door for democrats to do the same thing when they get in office.” shane replied with, “nobody is going to do what trump is doing.” then rogan yelled back at him that gavin newsome would absolutely put up plaques about trump. of course shane chose not to fight back super hard at this point, because that would be dumb and pointless, so if you watched that clip you’d probably still come away angry and alleging that shane is maga for not pushing back harder.
man, you are so invested in shane being some hateful conservative, it’s wild. and all it’s doing is having us rehash the same exact argument over and over and over. the guy who doesn’t pay attention to shane gillis keeps coming back to insist that he’s this hateful maga guy, then i allude to the million facts which refute this idea. rinse and repeat. he just did a whole ass segment on his MSSP podcast about how he can’t stand the holidays anymore because of all of his maga relatives. he shits on maga constantly. he’s openly liberal. accept it. or don’t. but for gods sake, get over this wild crusade to prove that this guy you don’t even follow is someone he’s not. “he went on rogan’s show and then didn’t shut rogan down when rogan tried to normalize nick fuentes!” omg, that definitely means he’s maga and totally trumps every single other thing he’s ever said or done which irrefutably proves he’s not a conservative, or what’s more, maga. yeah right.
what, exactly, did he say there that has y’all posting this? “nick fuentes is funny.” i watched all six minutes and that’s the most damning thing he said. is that it?
he physically looks better than he ever has. i don’t mean his physique, but the way he moves- his handles, his start-stop-start, his quickness, everything. he isn’t just putting up better stats than ever before, he’s visibly still getting better as a player. it’s incredible.
it’s out thanksgiving of next year?!?! the way people have been talking about it for months i assumed it was coming out some time around now/this past week. well, remind me in 11 months i guess.
what hurts the most about where we’ve been as a program since ~2010-2011, is that (for me) we’ve had only two teams since then that “felt like” what a Texas team is supposed to feel like, ie a team you’re fully invested in with players who are fully invested with multiple years in the program. under penders and barnes that’s all i’d ever known. since that time, only shaka’s first team:
and Beard’s second team:
have felt like teams full of “lifetime Longhorns” if you will.
since then, Texas Basketball has been Jaylon Tyson, Devin Askew, Elijah Mitrou-Long, and a long line of other forgettable players and teams that didn’t leave any real impact on me. i just miss that. real deal “Texas Teams”. feels like we’ve been just hiring mercenaries on a yearly basis for most of the past 15 years. shit is soul crushing.
every time luka was out brunson played like an mvp candidate, and dallas was just like, “meh.” they saw him every day in practice too. the incompetency that permeates pro sports organizations of all kinds is staggering.
well, i’ll tell you what i won’t be doing, and that’s posting under my 15th handle and trying to reignite beefs that i have with internet posters late at night on christmas eve. seek help.
