  1. Now we are up 43 points with 4:07 left in the game. W&M 56 T E X 99
  2. There may be a thread elsewhere, but when we have a #1 seed, the women should have their own thread in the Basketball 🏀 Board. Thr Texas Longhorns are absolutely spanking #16 seed William & Mary (16-18). We run more than Tom Penders’ BMW squads did. Up 34 with 6:59 left in the 4th Quarter.
  3. Ben Shelton is out after things went all Wong in two tiebreakers in his first match of the tournament. Ashlyn Krueger (Springfield, Missouri -> Frisco, Texas… NOT “Dallas native”) ran over the 29 seed Leylah Fernandez (melting pot out of Canada) and could possibly be a seeded player by the time the French Open if she keeps up her current form.
  4. I saw that he got a new contract, so I looked up what he’s getting annually. Not bad for a 23 year-old.
  5. Look at picks on this site. https://bogstreet.com/ All sorts of picks to choose from that are “non traditional”.
  6. I keep thinking of the World Cup as our answer to the 1936 Summer Olympics. I would like to see us get our asses handed to us.
  7. “Antonelli, the young 18 year-old.” Not “the middle-aged 18 year-old” or “the old 18 year-old”?
  8. …oops… [Tournament sponsors are ahitting themselves…]
  9. My take is that Beard’s woman started the physical confrontation and he was just ending it. He didn’t beat her up, he restrained her (I recall). Beard’s nose screams “I’m an ALCOHOLIC!!” Beard’s energetic intensity in his 50s scream “I love AMPHETAMINES and/or COCAINE!!” Having a violent girlfriend who had been seen pulling her players off a court by their ponytails and who would smack Beard’s glasses off of his face screams “My addict ass loves drama!!” But I wouldn’t put Beard in the “domestic abuser” category before I would put his (ex?) fiancée in the “piece of shit domestic abuser” category. Wish that Texas had paid for that woman to go away and gotten Beard some professional help for his alcohol/chemical dependencies.
  10. D.O.C. is back in the Metroplex and trying to set up a studio for up-and-comers to learn production and to record the nextgen. I had never heard of him before seeing his documentary at the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum last year (followed by a Q&A).
  11. Fucking Mexicans are winning 1-0 in the 70’. Just turned it, but there appears to be a full crowd and a Mexican rolling around in the pitch.
  12. Oops. ps- I was today years old when I discovered that there was a competitive Dallas rap scene, much less that the competition was worthy of an episode of “Murder She Wrote”.
  13. You didn’t like crosses into whatever? But it’s what these kids know. Peru and/or Paraguay
  14. Chile is NOT a traditional CONMEBOL power. They won their only two Copa Americas ever in 2015 & 2016. The 2010s were the greatest decade in Chile’s history. They started with Bielsa instilling the run until you drop mentality and then he was replaced and their Golden Generation led them to World Cups & two Copa America shootout titles over Argentina, but they have never been much of a soccer power.
  15. I am not holding out hope that the USMNT makes it to the Quarterfinals. Just make it out of the group and everything after that is gravy.
  16. Just like the Argentines did to England in 1986. Won by 1! Hilariously pitiful. 😅
  17. Fire Pochettino? Or do we keep him because he has led us to the 3rd place match? EDIT: How did Adams miss that?
  18. PS- Weah is fast as shit. PPS- This game is pretty fucking boring.
  19. American sports fans would MUCH rather stay at home/ go to a bar/ go to Vegas to watch Day 1 of the NCAA Tournament than go to fucking Inglewood to watch the USMNT play fucking PANAMA!🇵🇦 Mexicans will stroll in and fill the place up for game 2, but… I once got pulled over for being white in Inglewood, I don’t think that I would go there for a semifinal vs Panama. ACTUAL EXPLANATION September 1998: Nappy B: “I was wondering… why was I pulled over?” LAPD: “Have you noticed that you’re the only white people around here?”
  20. Guessing they it will fill in as the game goes on and the Mexicans show up. The sideline cameraman must not be Mexican, because his camera angle was making Musah look like Kevin Hart.
  21. The amount of catching the ball/picking up one’s dribble and then taking 2 or 3 steps to get behind the 3 point line or over to the side and then launching a 3… WITHOUT TRAVELING BEING CALLED… is absurd. Just pure “I’m going to walk over to where I want to shoot it from just like I did in my driveway growing up.” No one says anything and the refs don’t call it.
  22. This shocked me so much right now that I clipped three scores to post. Kenin is so scrappy, sneaky, and a strong redirector of the ball that I would not have expected this to be possible. The human pin cushion (Parks) went down without much of a fight. NOTE: She used to play bra-less, so you could see her barbell nipple piercings, but someone got to her and now you can see 3 inch round pads over her nipple area. 🥲 She has a monster fast serve and little else. Apparently Rybakina’s ex-coach/current boyfriend/abuser is not helping her tennis game much this season. But nice win for the kid from Dallas (Ashlyn Krueger).
