  1. Next year I'd gladly trade two inches of Taylor's height for an extra dose of athleticism in her replacement. She can only dominate when she's the tallest player on the court, and even then it's usually a struggle. In that sense, she's much like a female Shedrick. Nothing personal against either player, just reality. It's the No. 1 roster issue both the women and men face this season.
  2. Kent looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Unless Jane is Madison Booker, in which case he doesn't play like Jane, either.
  3. Kent is not a basketball player. He's a big guy on a basketball court.
  4. I'm not sure to which guy this is a greater insult.
  5. A year from now I hope the conversation will be, "Townsend is a beast. Might be hard to keep several other guys from hitting the portal, but whatever."
  6. Gaston's final line hardly reflected the full game. She got a lot of her points in garbage time. Despite poor shooting and lackluster D in the second half, we never were seriously threatened. Nice to see Booker start hot, though she cooled off later. All in all, a decent bounceback from Sunday.
  7. Yes. Arguably good enough to have single-handedly altered our CFP path. Hate to even bring it up, but Luckie caught that third-and-long pass on Stockton's first drive against us. Was he inbounds? If so, barely...but on review, he got credit for the catch. Had he not, who knows what might have happened in that second half? That guy also tackled Barron on his late INT, when otherwise we had a decent path to a winning pick-6. Had Luckie not made both those plays, we might well have started the playoffs with a quarterfinals game against ND. 🤨
  8. Thank you, Jordan Pope. You were overwhelmingly the difference in winning and losing here tonight. What else is in the take-home lesson? 1. Shedrick tries but just isn't good enough to be an effective starter. Sadly, that has to be his role on this roster. Kent was a perimeter screener of no other discernible value tonight. 2. Johnson and Kaluma might need to split a bottle of NyQuil before our next tipoff. Too frantic under duress for much of the night. But at least both had flurries of key points. 3. This is one of the worst passing teams we've had. Stagnant halfcourt motion and unimaginative OOB sets only worsen the issue. All that, plus our bigs' difficulties scoring around the rim, adds up to sporadic flow and puts extra pressure on our guards to create decent shots for themselves. Abridged version of the above: Against all odds, we survived. Really nice for the men and women both to win in Norman this year.
  9. Proof that not all "exciting" games are good ones.
  10. Here's where it helps to maybe have a real PG. And rim defenders. Bunch of guys passing up shots, and nobody cutting to the bucket. Be men.
  11. Is Kent still gimpy? He hasn't seemed to do much of anything good in games I've watched. Even so, we should win this game if we keep shooting well.
  12. I'm not going to include the many lengthy replies to this post, but you can easily imagine where it goes from here. A post about us, telling others not to post about us, of course leads to more posting about us...and then more. It's a classic case study in incestuous bickering and rent-free living.
  13. No idea how much corporate coin it took to get the "Yeti Yard" into Disch-Falk, but I'm thinking Musk might pay a lot for DKR to run its video on the "Teslatron."
  14. I'm still wondering how far a drive it is from Silsbee to confirm the pattern of hotel curtains in Horseshoe Bay.
  15. And that's spotting him two hours on the change in time zones.
  16. My ignore list just keeps on growing. Every disappointing Texas game flushes out more of the trash.
  17. I had extremely high expectations for Campbell. Second only to Banks on the OL. He's been a pretty good guard but not overwhelmingly so, to my non-coaching eye. Would love to see him come back and lead this next wave of road graders and improve his own draft stock.
  18. My only regret is that he spent just one year here. What a tremendous player.
  19. They also seem to have issues with tackling. Complementary football, amirite?
  20. Leave it to the Falcons to try to prove otherwise.
