  1. Someone at the game needs to tell our players to go to the hoop and we win.
  2. This game is so fucked up that we could win. Abmas! Get hot, let's go.
  3. We have just one guy who gets that this is a win or go home game.
  4. Not terrible but we don't have a single future NBA draft pick most likely. We're like at the upper end of mid major level talent. Rodney's job will depend on landing much higher level talent and getting them to gel. Because he's never going to win games with proper fundamental coaching and execution.
  5. Bro I'm sorry your world is collapsing in front of you but you're getting owned by Helo at this point. Take it easy, man. I like you - in fact most of us like you - try and relax and take care of yourself. I know you're in poor health, but getting into these endless shouting matches on Surly isn't helping that. I'm rooting for you man - we've been cool for a long time now. I think you're a solid dude and I think you have a solid mind on you. We all have our own demons - as I'm telling you this I may or may not need to go into residential treatment for alcoholism. That's a battle I'm fighting. I think what we can all agree on is that we're Texas fans and we want Texas to win. The minutiae and happenings of the past should be brushed away. Terry is the guy right now, he has these guys playing well and we have a legitimate chance of upsetting a 2 seed and making the 2nd weekend for the 2nd straight season. Let's go Horns. Hook 'em. Love you Derk.
  6. beard has the sixth best tourney win% of all time and his team was statistically and empirically better under him than it was under RT. i mean for all we know RT is about to lead us to the championship, but that’s not what history says is going to happen.
  7. Agreed, but it's also probably not enough to land a regional, which definitely puts us in a hole. If I did the math right, winning 2 out of every 3 games going forward would put us at 35-20. Last year only one team (Auburn) hosted with a record that bad (in their case, 34-21-1). Kentucky also hosted with a similar record (36-18). Not that I think this team has host upside -- I'm inclined to believe just getting into post-season play somewhere else is about all we can expect. Maybe they'll grow into their potential as they've done before.
  8. Losing to Baylor sucks, but thats baseball. We’ve hit a few grand slams this year, so it’s just crap timing to have back to back killer GIDP. We probably win that game 8/10 times. Not our day, but time to go win the series.
  9. Just win the series. This is a team that’s not likely to sweep any conference series. However, if they can go 2-1, we have a chance to top/be near the top of the conference this season.
  10. 1000000% this. Pop started the year saying “Winning is as important this year as learning was in the past. We’ve got to continue to learn, but adding more wins is appropriate and mandatory.“ Within a few weeks it became “well we’re young” and “heh, well, we weren’t going to win a championship this year anyway” and “gee, we gotta see what we have” and other ridiculous musings to make it seem like they had a fucking clue of what they were doing. That Pop quote to me is telling because there’s no way he says it if the front office doesn’t think they’ll be competitive. Something like 35 wins, maybe not exactly in the hunt for a play-in, but also not eliminated in early March. in fact, we’re careening towards something like a franchise-worst 18-64. I’m not sure how they could have misjudged this team that badly, but it’s not terribly reassuring going forward.
  11. So, since the season is basically over it's time for some post-season anal-sis. Front office: What the fuck are you assholes doing? This team is dogshit. The veterans are/were dogshit, the players on the team sans Victor and Vassell are dogshit, and the "tank" is dogshit. This upcoming draft is also dogshit and you guys sold everyone on a tank after it became clear that you suck at your jobs. Fuck you. Coaching staff: Tonight's game is a clear indicator that the old man needs to go. Taylor Jenkins has taken a bunch of journeymen and NBA hopefuls and has them playing hard and smart. Then you've got our merry band of idiots, who have been making the same goddman mistakes all season and are progressively getting worse (except Victor). This team needs someone young and hungry, who can grow with the team and hold them accountable. Pop is fat, happy, and clearly does not have what it takes. These guys can't even throw an entry pass, constantly fuck up lobs, and refuse to peel off when Vic is trying to post up. Coaching? Players: Jesus Christ, these assholes suck. Sochan: I know @ztejas is going to disagree vehemtly, but I don't know where this guy falls on this team. He is a horrid shooter and getting worse. He constatnly falls down leaving his teammates to defend 4 on 5. He's not the defender he thinks he is although he's good at it. He fouls a lot. He can't pass, he can't lob, but he can back his man down into the paint and miss a layup. He'll have the spectacular play, but until he can shoot he's going to have a hard time on the offensive side of the ball. Did I mention he can't shoot? Wemby: I love you, please don't leave. Cedi: What can be said about this asshole that @ztejas hasn't already said a million times. I'll be glad when he's gone. Keldon: You are not the star. You are not the star. Pass the fucking ball, you are not the star. Also, you are the worst defender on the team, and Malaki is on this team. He shoots the Spurs out of games, he shoots them into games. Bad turnover here, bad shot there, bad defense everywhere. Hopefully he either accepts his role which should not be the Manu Ginobili of the team, of which he has zero talent to pull off, or gets traded in the offseason. I'll be sad to see him go because he's a beautiful kid with a great personality and does a lot for the city, but he's fucking this team up. Tre: He's a backup. For all the clamoring of him starting, I really don't think the season plays out any differently in terms of win/loss. He's improved as a shooter, which is nice. Tonight is a reminder of all his limitations when he's outplayed by Scottie Pippin's kid. Malaki: I've wasted too many words on this fucker already. Please leave. Julian: He won't be on the team next year, and if he is he'll be glued to the pine. If he is starting, see the Front Office paragraph about them sucking ass. Zach Collins: I think if we just put some hair gel at the top of the Frost Bank building in San Antonio and told Zach it was on the ledge, the the problem would take care of itself. Blake Wesley: I think he'll improve, but he still misses a shit-ton of layups. Can't shoot, but has gotten surprisingly better. Vassell: The one bright spot besides Vic. Defense sucks, but so does everyone elses (sans Vic) and he can shoot his ass off. Two man game with Vic is coming along. He's also continued to drive to the basket and has steadily improved there. Great passer. Love this kid. Mamu: Wish you had gotten more play, dude. Love your energy and tonight would have been a great game to get you some run. God, I fucking hate Zach Collins. Just a fucking horrendous season capped of by tonight's horrendous loss.
  12. Colt takes one hit in the Alabama game, and a guy that has never been injury prone is paralysed like he received a Vulcan Pinch, this sends our NC winning coach into some kind of midlife crisis, and he starts telling the team things like "We've got macaroni and cheese for lunch today!" and ruined football for the next 12 years It's always seemed weird to me how you can almost pinpoint the exact moment we started sucking. What disappeared in that moment was leadership, and all of the stupid crap that Herman and the other buffoons tried to improve the "Culture" was just an embarrassing joke, It is so nice to have a competent, hungry coach again, and I am going to enjoy every minute of it.
  13. Ggerg is bullet proof as long as he wins. But this team is going to run into teams very soon that we won’t beat and things could change.
  14. RT has as many tournament wins in 2 seasons as we did from '09-'22. I have no clue if RT is the right guy for the job but anybody that thinks his seat is hot is clueless. He's getting 3 more years here at a minimum unless he decides to go Chris Beard.
  15. I think Baltimore will win the East with about 98-100 wins, just like last year. Tampa still has a good team with an excellent pitching staff, so that division will be a hell of a fight. I'm not sure how the Central will go, I don't think any team in that division got much better this off-season. Probably going to come down to injuries between Cleveland and Minny again, and if either bails at the deadline to sell assets for prospects. The Astros winning another division title by 10+ games would be nice. Going into the playoffs resting everyone for the last few games is a huge advantage. Let's hope it goes as planned and we can make it 9 ALCS appearances in a row.
  16. I’m going to enjoy this win. Also, no matter what happens in the last game tonight - on Saturday, we will get a 15 seed or the worst coach in the history of the 64/68 team tourney.
  17. We can score with anyone. 2nd line has played like our best line. Duchene has been a great pick up and Seguin/Duchene mesh well. Otter has been inconsistent this season at best and flat out shitty at times. Our defense is still shitty overall but hopeful Tanev acquisition will solidify things down the stretch/playoffs. Incredibly tight race in the division with Jets and Avs. Winning division probably more important this year than most (although outside chance that could land you a first round matchup with a magically healthy Knights if they keep fucking around). We probably go as far as Otter can take us in the playoffs. If we could guarantee elite goaltending it would be hard to pick against us against anyone. Probably 10-12 teams that think they have a legit shot at lifting the cup. Playoffs should be great.
  18. We forget that Beard had a similar style to Bennett at Tech (and to a lesser degree at Texas). Incredible defense and extremely slow pace, boring but efficient offense. If he got to 50 points, good chance they were going to win. And if they were ever up by 10 points, it was game over. But... his offense could be really painful to watch at times. I personally liked Beard because he wins AND because I really like watching a smothering team defense. I enjoyed the Virginia vs. Tech national title game quite a bit, but it got a lot of negative press prior to the game predicting it would be a slow, difficult watch.
  19. I rarely feel we're going to mudhole anyone in men's basketball. But CSU looks decent mainly because UVA is putrid. We need to win by 15-plus, and I think we will.
  20. ok, for will wade, but what about every single other good coach in america? especially those good enough for texas. we’ve already talked about plenty of them. •dan hurley took over terrible programs at wagner and uri and immediately turned them around; then he got to uconn and won the national title and has them as the prohibitive favorite to repeat. •bill self won at oral roberts and tulsa before dominating at illinois and kansas •nate oats was awesome at buffalo. how bad has buffalo since he left? they were #22 in kenpom his last year there, they are #348 this year. •bruce pearl won at milwaukee, then tennessee, and now auburn •rick barnes won at providence, then clemson, then texas, and now tennessee we could keep going all night. good college basketball coaches win everywhere they go, and then they climb the ladder. it’s what they do. i’m sure there are outliers, but 9/10 good college basketball HC’s are good HC’s everywhere they go for their entire careers. they don’t spend a decade doing nothing of note as a HC only to take a downward move in year 27 of their d-1 coaching career.
  21. Don’t know how competitive that district is but it’s obvious from his comment that he assumes the R primary winner is going to win the general. So what are we calling out here?
  22. I may have told this at some point, I can’t remember. I am pretty sure @HenryJames was there. We all met up in Austin for drinks and dinner one weekend during the early, happy days of the Barking Carnival efforts. Probably 8-10 of us. Anyway, we’re bullshitting at dinner and at some point, for whatever reason, height comes up. Someone asks me how tall I am and I say “6’2”” because, you know, that’s like factually correct and shit. Scipio can’t believe it, overhearing the conversation. “No way you’re 6’2”. I’m 6’2”. “ I say, cool, good for you, buddy. He still can’t accept it, bizarrely. It bothers the guy and finally he basically challenges me to a measurement. I would be mocking people having this conversation if I were seated near them and witnessing it. Anyway, I eventually capitulate to make it all go away and we stand back to back, in which the impartial judges begrudgingly informed Scipio that, in fact, he might not be fully 6’2”. He refused to believe it. To this day, I don’t know what in the fuck was going on there in his head, but for sure, physical dimensions are a part of his ego. Outside of high school sports, that is the only time my height ever proved crucial, winning that height contest in my early 30’s.
  23. This is a winning strategy from now to November. The Democrats just keep need to keep saying "Trump keeps asking if we are better off than we were four years ago. Let's take a look at 4 years ago today. 4 years ago today, the supermarkets were in chaos as people were fighting over toilet paper" or whatever horrendous thing happened on this date in 2020. Just keep repeating that Trump keeps asking if we are better off than we were four years ago. I'll bet Trump doesn't ask that question again, but, yeah .. it was four years ago this week that COVID hit in earnest, so every day over the next 6-8 months four years ago is going to have really sucked. Just keep bashing Trump over and over with "better off than you were four years ago?"
  24. Wrong the Broncos. We are going to win back to back Super Bowls like they did after their uniform change.
  25. I want to look ahead a little to Alabama and FSU Alabama - 8 seed - 23-9 overall (10-6 SEC) They do have a win over Louisville back in November 78-73 (neutral site) Lost by 10 to Gonzaga 78-68 (neutral site) Lost by 6 to Syracuse 79-73 on the road SEC losses: By 10 to Ole Miss at home By 18 to Arkansas at home (woof, that's bad) By 20 to LSU at home By 13 to Auburn on the road By 19 to LSU on the road By 28 to SC on the road By 22 to Tenn in the SEC tournament (one and done) Lost a double digit scorer 5'8 G Jessica Timmons (11.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.3 apg, 1.0 spg) to a knee injury sustained in the SECT Average 73.5 ppg, give up 61.8 ppg 35% 3PFG% as a team 70.9 FT% as a team Only win the rebound margin by 3.0 - that is going to be difficult for them based on how we rebound Usually play Essence Cody the most in the post - 6'4 freshman, and she gets spelled by 6'4 JeAnna Cunningham (SR) and 6'3 Meg Newman (SO) Two good 3 point shooters - Nye (42.6%) and Barker (36%) Florida State - 9 seed - 23-10 (12-6 ACC) 1 point win over Tenn in November 82-81 at home 12 point loss to Stanford 100-88 in Nevada 13 point loss to Arkansas at home (woof) 17 point loss to UCLA in Connecticut ACC losses: 8 point OT loss to NC State on the road 6 point loss to Syracuse on the road 4 point loss to UVA at home (woof, that is bad) 42 loss to Duke on the road 4 point 2OT loss to ND at home 15 point loss to Louisville on the road 26 point loss to NC State in the ACCT semifinals 78.7 ppg scored, but allow 71.2 ppg 31.3 3PFG% as a team 77.1 FT% as a team They actually lose the rebound margin by -3.0 They are small - Makayla Timson at 6'2 is their main post player They really rely hard on 5'8 G Ta'Niya Latson, who averages 21.3 ppg Mariah O'Gordon is their 3 point shooter - 38.5%. She's also 5'4 I'm probably slightly more worried about Alabama, because FSU's lack of size would be a big problem against Texas. They don't rebound well and don't have big bodies to throw at Jones/Faye/Gaston. But also Alabama is coached by former Tech coach Kristy Curry, so eh
