  1. We have at least five rotation players for whom I can identify no specific skill set.
  2. So Lurch loses the ball OOB and immediately turns to go downcourt on defense. But nooooo...ref says Arky ball. Lurch then hits a 3 from somewhere in outer space, and Terry gets a T. This is so much fun to watch.
  3. I've been more concerned about Chavez picking OU than Tech. A better and more stable program historically (and for sure recently), plus a fast-paced style and Nike alignment, as @Js1 has noted. And presumably the truck stop sugar momma of OU softball could offer her however much the school wants her to write a check for, if it comes down to that. Even so, I'm leaning hard toward Texas. Rarely has a contending team that checks every box for a player been in such clear need of that same player's individual skill set. Now excuse me while I go trademark ArchAaliyahmania.
  4. At this point, Tech might be willing to break its Adidas contract, hire the Monterey coaching staff, make Sonny Chavez GM and give scholarships to all four of Aaliyah's fellow starters.
  5. Bingo. Nowhere in aggy's touching ode to loyalty is mention of the fact Earley bolted for Austin at first opportunity. They were eager to trash him until the aggy brass lured him back. That desperate move of hiring an unqualified HC to hold their roster together was short-sighted, but after the humiliation of so many defections to the evil empire, it was portrayed as some meritorious achievement. Sure, Jan. As for that roster, funny how there's no questioning of why several current aggy players briefly went into the portal before deciding to stay. Were these guys as loyal as fan fiction suggests, they'd never have thought about playing in Austin or anywhere else. But as noted, true ags will always rework the facts to suit their fantasy.
  6. "Akina's age will be an issue. I can't believe Sark's still robbing the cradle." - Dick LeBeau
  7. Not to mention Holle has been off in her % nearly all year. She's getting some decent looks but not many makes. Maybe she's nursing an injury, or maybe it's just a slump. She continues to play hard on D.
  8. "See? Just more proof Texas hasn't played anyone!" — haters everywhere
  9. And probably Jim Thorpe
  10. If Akina proves to be our worst defensive coach, we'll be just fine.
  11. She's been dreadful. But she's far from the only one. The sooner we play four guards, the sooner we win this.
  12. I'd give the three freshmen more minutes and tell Booker she has to get into the head of the key way more often. Can't bust a zone by passing around the arc and then launching wayward jumpers. Play like champions.
  13. Wow. Oldacre and Jones playing together against a bad team and still can't get rebounding position under the basket. That half was embarrassingly bad in every way an offense can be.
  14. Watching this as a non-Texas fan, I'd be among the many who question our ranking.
  15. What a miserable start on offense. Somebody start busting that zone or this is going to remain unnecessarily ugly.
  16. Representing the No-Sunshine State
  17. I never enjoy losing to OU in any sport. But if you told me CDC witnessing a runaway Sooner win in Moody was what it would take to send RT packing....
  18. If the job involves coaching guys to minimize scoring, I have a solution to the problem of what we should do with Rodney Terry.
  19. Stanford lived by the HR against us and died by it today.
  20. Can pickleball or padel be all that far off? Get ahead of this thing, CDC!
  21. I look at a loss like this and am not really too concerned about what it means for our tournament chances. I'm mostly just embarrassed that Texas has such a mess of a team representing the university and fans. There's simply no excuse for it continuing beyond the next few weeks.
  22. If Arkansas doesn't beat us by 35, their whole team is shaving.
  23. This really is the sorriest excuse for a basketball program I've ever seen in Austin, and I've been a fan since the early '70s. We're being bullied by guys who can't play.
  24. I'm sure the old guard saw it coming. Florida had been on a long run of men's titles and a shorter one with women's, but that little parade is over until further notice.
