Point and laugh at Shaka Smart
it’s obviously no secret that i’m less than thrilled with the sean miller hire, but holy fucking shit am i thankful that we no longer have a HC who only speaks in vague maxims and never addresses or sets real expectations and goals. “who truly wants to pour into the other four guys with him out on the floor and be all in on Marquette.” like what the fuck does that even mean? it’s nothing. it’s an act. it’s a sham, designed to avoid shaka ever having to take any accountability for anything that happens in his program. it’s never about anything earnest or tangible, it’s *always* about who “wants to put into the other four guys on the floor”, and how if his team is going to improve they “need to start having more better tomorrows”. i will root against this clown with a passion until my last breath. he is the worst thing to ever happen to Texas Basketball, and that includes Bob Weltlich.

Sean Miller is already losing me
come on, no it isn’t. you asked me what the point of making my post was, and then a gaggle of people who never post in this forum ran in here to go, “jesus christ derka, you ruined this thread as soon you made it, like you always do.” you act like the myriad of people who all had the same reaction to that are in some sort of shared delusion, and not just witnessing (for the eight billionth time) a case where i make a post that turns into a big, contentious deal when nobody would have batted an eye had anyone else made the exact same post. the responses to my OP/this thread were stupid, childish, and unwarranted.

i never wanted him hired, but once he was the hire i was always going to give him an opportunity to show that i was wrong. we aren’t even two months into his first season and he’s already losing what little faith i chose to put in him. this roster is a terrible mix of a)no pg, b)no shooters, and c)frankly lesser talented players. our defense is the worst it’s been since tom penders. our recruiting class is three guys who all play the same position and who won’t be impact players for another two years. and fan interest seems to be at an all time low. it’s been a pretty spectacular string of failures to start his career at Texas, and the future doesn’t look any better. i wanted to be proven wrong, but i’m already losing what little faith i wanted to have in him.- What impact will Trump have on the 2026 World Cup?

wtf is wrong with the kids. did the pandemic really give everyone autism? this might be the most concise and informative video ever, but i wouldn’t know, because i could only make it about 10 seconds before turning it off. seriously, who makes a video on this type of subject matter, a video that’s supposedly both informative and important, and decides that the best way to get their message across is to preach at their audience while clacking away at a mouse and staring at a computer screen while playing video games? i cannot believe that this is the generation that’s going to be tasked with fixing this shit.- What impact will Trump have on the 2026 World Cup?

miller got three years at xavier and didn’t build anything. 16-18 in year two, then a very “meh” 22-12 (13-7) year three in a much weaker league than the sec. he wasn’t on any sort of upward trajectory when we decided to make him our HC. we’ve got several years worth of data to look at that says that next year isn’t going to be a great year either, barring miller bringing in the type of transfer class that this AD doesn’t want to spend the money on.- Sean Miller is already losing me
it’s hard to reserve judgment on the future when the building blocks of said future are so underwhelming and/or nonexistent. here are the current players who might return next season: and of course we also have our three sg commits, guys who are developmental pieces. you add the two together and that is just not a good roster, there’s no two ways about it. Miller will have to pull in one helluva transfer class to paper over those cracks in year two, which seems unlikely considering that spending money on his program is clearly not a priority for the AD or the BMD’s. you also say miller “has a history of player development”, but i don’t see it. you mentioned tj mcconnell, but that was a decade ago. who else has he developed since then? he hasn’t been sending guys to league, since, what, mathurin? who was only with him for one year. nico mannion was the no.1 pg and a top 5-7 national player coming out of HS and he shot 39% from the field in his one season at arizona and has never been heard from since. i’m struggling to name anyone else who miller has developed in the last decade or so. it’s not a long or prestigious list.- 2025 ATP/WTA thread

also speaking of things “that everybody already knows”, this lore about who i am and why i post and the attention that i seek has been outdated for such long time. the people who post where i post (ie the people who post in this forum) see me making thousands upon thousands of regular ass posts about basketball, baseball, or arsenal day after day, without starting any shit or seeking any attention, or trying to provoke a reaction out of anyone. i’m just here every single day doing my normal thing with the same group of people, for years now. it’s really pretty boring 99% of the time. and then someone like ctj, a guy who i cross paths with maybe three times per year on this site, comes in here, where i am every day, to type out 1,000 words about how i really really need you guys’s attention right now so i’m gonna get it by (checks notes) making a topical post in the appropriate forum. yeah. that makes sense. that tracks. thanks for stopping by, and never come back again, please and thank you.Football ...
