UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
So I was looking at McCollum’s story deeper, and he has literally based his entire life within a 5.5 hour radius of Storm Lake, Iowa. He’s been biding his time for one of about 5 or 6 jobs in the western Midwest. Kind of a momma’s boy in the most admirable sense. i hate that he’s going to Iowa, but I respect the hell out of him

Exactly. Coaching your Alma mater is a dream for most guys. It’s why I couldn’t understand Tech fans melting down when Beard went to UT.

I’m in a real intense Dan phase. I was buckling my daughter into her car seat earlier and belted out “YOOOU WERE HIGH” as my wife walked into the garage.

We all hate Baylor, but what in the ever living fuck does this have to do with anything?

Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)
- 2025 NCAA Tournament General Thread
Ready for the day- Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)
Got a blizzard Wednesday so it’s still soup season. Cubed up some beef spare ribs and cooked them in butter on the cast iron. Sautéed japs, serranos, poblanos, habaneros, onion, and garlic in the Dutch oven. Added the spare ribs. Can of beer, quart of tomato puree that was canned with copious amounts of chili powder and cumin. Sitting on the smoker until halftime of the ISU game.- 2025 NCAA Tournament - First Round Thursday/Friday

Did some Google snooping, and that's exactly what I was hoping to find. Thanks!- Realignment talk not going away
In 1958 the AP and Coaches Polls picked LSU. An undefeated LSU. Iowa lost (badly) to Ohio State, and tied Air Force at Kinnick. Air Force wouldn't even graduate it's first class until the following spring. We can look back at it now and realize it's silly to claim they were the national champs. 90% of Iowa fans I know don't celebrate it or consider it a championship. The ones who do are absolutely in the lunatic fringe. Of course they're going to accept it, but it's like someone calling 2017 UCF champs just because the Colley Matrix said so. No serious person considers these valid national championships.- Realignment talk not going away
Because we as a college football society moved away from that long ago, and Iowa's my arch-rival so I want to poke holes in their silly claims when I have a strong argument for it. Why are you defending it when the AP (which has much more history of being the standard here) picked LSU? My guess is you're doing it because you have an anti-Big 12 hard on, and you're looking to piss off the ISU fan. Just a guess. This is like the Aggy national titles you guys constantly mock.- Realignment talk not going away
Your original argument wasn't about Iowa's schedule or being integrated. It was about LSU losing their bowl game. Which didn't happen. If being progressive with integration is enough to qualify for a natty, then ISU should claim 1923.- Realignment talk not going away
They didn't lose any games.- Smoky Mountains Knoxville/Gatlinburg/Asheville
Asheville is definitely a place I want to check out, and likely would on such a trip. I was just thinking specifically for access to GSMNP. Wouldn't need to be anywhere close to Asheville's size and scope.- Smoky Mountains Knoxville/Gatlinburg/Asheville
Is there any place within daily commuting distance of the park that's just a nice mountain town with a brewery or two and some decent restaurants?- Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread
65 yesterday. 4-8" of snow today (closer to a foot 30 miles north or west). 50 on Friday.- College basketball coaching carousel: 2025 edition
It’ll be interesting to see if WVU can grab McCollum over Iowa. Their AD hired him to NWMO.- College basketball coaching carousel: 2025 edition
I think DeVries is pretty good, but I don't think he's "middle of a bidding war between 3 major conference schools" good. Whoever gets him is probably gonna pay too much.- UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
There are people that would rather live in Fairbanks, Alaska than Austin. If I've learned anything it's that there is no such thing as universal preference. Personally, I think Austin's great except for the traffic, but it's pretty easy to see that it wouldn't appeal to a lot of people.- Realignment talk not going away
LSU went undefeated in 1958. Iowa lost to Ohio State and tied Air Force. LSU has a far more legitimate claim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_Iowa_Hawkeyes_football_team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_LSU_Tigers_football_team - 2025 NCAA Tournament General Thread
