    I'm mainly talking shit because of affiliation. I can't believe SMU/TCU isn't a game this year. SMU is pretty spicy and featuring one of the best players in the country. Not sure what happened on the schedule (maybe they ducked us again because they're pussies).

    I just heard last night (I think) that Tristan Clark, the Baylor big guy who blew out his knee and was supposedly retired from bball, is back in the game on the SMU squad. Best wishes to that guy, he was supposed to be a key part of the team that won the NC last year. Losing him is why Drew went to the small guard lineup that proved to be so successful. 

  2. Alrighty then, so much for the perfect season. Congrats to Tech. Defense is all about effort and the Red Raiders gave more effort than the home team in Waco last night.

    Drew doesn't have the senior guards he had last year and he's going to have to find something that works for the team he has this year. Against average effort the Bears can win on talent and good effort. They still need to find that next level because that's what opponents are bringing when they play Baylor this year because of what last year's Baylor team accomplished. Sins of the older brothers I guess.

    My first disappointment with Dallas was the 1994 NFC championship game. Got down 21-0 before you could even get settled in and SF did enough to hold off Dallas. .

    And yes, it was pass interference on Deion...

     

    I was just trying to remember what year that game was. Holy fuck, '94? I'm old.

    We have a very kind stretch leading up to the Tennessee game. Which means after the Tennessee game we hit the meat grinder.

    Coming up is:

    OU

    @ISU

    KSU

    OSU

    @TCU

    Tenn

    Honestly - that needs to be 4 wins. Whether that's 4-1 with a loss to Tenn or 3-2 with a win shouldn't matter too much - assuming Tenn doesn't completely suck dick down the stretch.

    If we go 3-3 we are really going to be looking down the barrel. Here are the next 5 after Tenn:

    @TTU

    ISU

    KU

    @Baylor

    @OU

    We get a bit of respite after that with Tech and TCU at home before we finish in Morgantown, Baylor in Austin and then Lawrence. 10 wins or better in conference is starting to look like a great result for this team. I'd probably take 9-9.

    Hold onto your butts, folks. It's gonna be a doozy.

    I did the maths in my head and I think you should be 4-1 in that stretch going into the TN game. No worse than 3-2. 

  5. I think there's a good chance, particularly in the case of someone with some celebrity status, they have fluffers and "yes" people around them who are clueless about the nature of alcoholism. When you're constantly accustomed to other's attention it's human nature to offer up your thoughts when questioned and your sense of self may be inaccurate. I'm coming up on 6 years and about all I'll share with anyone outside of sponsoring them is what it was like, what happened and what it's like now. And I don't randomly volunteer that much. Maybe that's an ego problem for me and maybe I should wear my sobriety a little more openly. IDK.

  6. Baylor's Jeremy Sochan left the game earlier with a sprained ankle. Came back out with a boot on his foot. TCU's Miles may have injured his hand earlier and hasn't been quite the same since. 

    Adam Flagler has 5 3's in the 2nd half. 

    BU leads 63-58 at the U8 TO. Baylor to inbounds after.

    Flagler drains another 3.

    Let's not go too far into the "few bad apples" myth.  Tech fans are notoriously jealous little brothers who are obsessed with their sports teams being praised more than they deserve.  They're like Aggies, but with a somewhat more developed sense of humor and far better looking coeds.

    This doesn't mean Texas fans aren't notoriously arrogant douchebags who think UT sports are more relevant these days than they really are, either.  Both can be true.  That said, if Sark were to elevate the football program to a national championship level (good one, LOL) and then bolt for 'bama when Saban retires, I wouldn't think anything more than "well, kind of a lateral move given the fact we just won a title too, but whatever, they're as good as it gets".

    Tech fans would incessantly whine about Beard leaving for Duke.  Perception, how does it work?

     

     

     

    Wouldn't a more apt comparison be Sark leaving for BYU?
