  1. pretty sick rookie highlight reel. he’s the first sub-4.3 WR who’s an actual football player. pretty special. note: i’m not dismissing guys like bob hayes and lam jones, just speaking of the modern combine era.
  2. “baby i love you.” ”i don’t give a flying fuck that you love me.” lmao, now that’s why i watch this show. more sloppy drama, fewer dumbass puzzles and wanna be IG influencers who are too scared to act a fool on tv.
  3. just make sure to complain about your draft slot next year, i’m sure you’ll have the first pick.
  4. hot off the press: ok, i just googled it. turns out that “castalon” is actually “castolon”, a historic region of big bend national park, where my mom has been at least five times. shame on her for not knowing.
  5. i knew it: 1. @NorthLoop 2. @Fawesome 3. @APMP 4. @BigOrange1 5. @beer 6. @henrygandorf 7. @Planet Houston 8. @Capn81 9. @castolon 10. hitbyamelonballer 11. @Derka 12. @UTPhil2006 13. @huge 14. @NOMAAA
  6. stand by for draft order
  7. good news: we got as easy a draw as we can get for UCL round of 16. bad news: it gets brutal after that:
  8. TIL mittens has me on ignore. 😞

  10. gottlieb’s failure at green bay is the gift that keeps on giving. i wish they’d give him a lifetime contract.

  12. man that’s some old shit! lol
  13. no it doesn't. again, barnes won as many tourney games last year as shaka has won in the last 12 years. barnes has been to three S16's and an elite 8 at tennessee, after going to the S16 five times in a seven year span at Texas. meanwhile shaka is 3-7 in the tourney since 2013. VCU: 2014: lost in R1 as a 5 seed vs SFA 2015: blew a 12 point lead and lost as a 7 seed to 10 seed tOSU Texas: 2016: lost in R1 as a 6 seed to 11 seed Northern Iowa 2018: blew a 14 point 2H lead in a first round loss to nevada 2021: one of the all time worst performances in ncaa tourney history as his team featuring a huge, athletic, nba front court, and deep, senior, experienced back court got beat by a HS JV team from abilene christian in the opening round. Marquette: 2022: lost 95-63 in an 8 vs 9 game 2023: holy shit we’ve got a win!!! marquette beats vermont in a 2 vs 15 matchup, then loses in round two 2024: gets another 2 seed, beats western kentucky and colorado before losing to 11 seed NC State Rick Barnes is Adolph Rupp compared to Shaka Smart
  14. he probably still thinks he can beat MJ 1 on 1.
  15. but not before he’s hired to replace RT at Texas.
  16. i mean god damn, live look at detroit: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/s/u82WYFlnfo
  17. alright, mom dukes gonna knock out the draft order this evening unless i hear otherwise before then. 👌🏼
  18. it’s amazing, the number of these computations that get published which say that shaka smart is a better tourney coach than rick barnes because of one final four run as an 11 seed vs barnes who has lost a shit ton of 4 vs 5 or 8 vs 9 type of games. shaka has 3 tourney wins in the last 12 years, barnes got three wins last year. our losses vs temple and usc were the only “bad” tourney upsets i recall under barnes here, and everyone he loses to at tennessee ends up in the E8 or FF. that’s the problem with any metric that measures tourney performance by seed expectation. it’s a very binary way to look at something that’s a lot more nuanced. one more example: in 2004 Texas (3 seed) beat UNC (6 seed) even though Texas was no.19 in kenpom and UNC was no.9, and the betting favorite. according to these metrics Texas/Barnes merely handled business when in reality that was one of my favorite Texas tourney upsets of my lifetime.
