  1. judge played 95 games in the field this year.
  2. aaron judge just had a season that someone will equal (or best) as early as next year. in fact i don’t think anyone other than helo would say that judge had a better season than ohtani did this year. meanwhile cal raleigh just had a season that we may never see again. played a full season at catcher without a passed ball, managed one of the best staffs in the league, and had the greatest offensive season ever by a catcher (by a mile, as a switch hitter). this is dumb.
  3. judge wins mvp over raleigh. total bullshit.
  4. this is what i’ve been basing my loose comparisons to 2024 auburn on. we don’t have a johni broome, but much like that team we have like 7-8 guys who are all pretty close in terms of skill level, all good-very good college players- no scrubs, but no all americans. i really liked that auburn team (don’t google what they did in the tourney) and i’d love to see this Texas team resemble that squad in the sense of having 9 guys who all play a real role and who are dependable players. i feel like that’s the best version of this roster that we can hope for.
  5. i loved that miller had the team running the offense and running at pace down to the very end. i’ve been wanting to see that for longer than i can remember.
  6. puskas award nominee:
  7. who are the announcers tonight?
  8. kenpom has us winning 93-64
  9. the best rookie in the nba looks like the kid who got picked on for sitting out pe because he had asthma.
  10. if jokic ends his career with one title he’s going to shatter the “titles are what makes you great” glass ceiling. wilt, jordan, lebron, jokic. that’s the four best players ever. if you throw out team accomplishments, it becomes very difficult to say that anyone has ever been better than jokic currently is. oh yeah, and he’s back to showing up pudgy and shit. he’s playing himself into shape again. he’s going to keep getting better.
  11. yeah but to be fair he didn’t have the personnel to run havoc at Texas. he’d have needed a lightning quick, aggressive floor leader with boundless energy who gets to the line a lot. someone like isaiah taylor. shaka would want to pair that floor leader with an all-big xii defensive team guard, a senior leader, team captain, fourth year starter type. someone like demarcus holland. now he’d also need a stretch four who can pass, rebound, and hit an open three, like connor lammert. he’d want to have a versatile freak who could guard 1-5, a big xii DPOY type, someone like prince ibeh. and in case he finds himself needing to go big or play high-low it would be important to have a big man who could average a double double and 3.5 blocks, like cam ridley. but that’s still not enough. he’d need guard and perimeter depth to run havoc. you’d want a track star, freak athlete like kerwin roach, a rangy wing like tevin mack, an all-freshman team shooter like eric davis jr, you know? throw in some more depth at each level, guys like javan felix, kendal yancy, and shaquille cleare, and sure, maybe then shaka could have run havoc. but that’s crazy. it’s not fair to ask him to compile a roster like that at any point during his tenure as HC. that’s just typical Texas having unrealistic expectations.
