  1. And they chose FRISCO !!
  2. If his final 3 are OU, SMU, & TAMU… Then he has been told by Sark & Co that he is no longer in Texas’ plans. Even if he wanted to go elsewhere, he would keep Texas in play to help with contract negotiations at another school… unless the OV invite has been revoked ¿Entiende?
  3. Did I mention before that Ashlyn isn’t really from Dallas? 1) She was born in Springfield, Missouri and lived there until she was 8 years-old when… 2) She moved to FRISCO, Texas. Not even Dallas County. She’s a Missourexan. And that’s all that I have to say about that.

    La Liga 24-25

    Atletico: 9 fouls, 5 yellows Barça: 19 fouls, 2 yellows …okay…
  5. Colorado. They have to replace QB, S, and CB/WR… But they have some talent coming in and will likely be able to pull in some spring transfers with Deion signing a new contract.
  6. The list of people who have considered choosing between either Stanford or North Carolina State in the past century is not a very long list.
  7. Riiiiight… Due to UNC’s long history of hiring outside the UNC family, with particular fondness for coaches with checkered pasts. re: A&M There is plenty of money there, they just may not be spending it on football until they see what kind of coach Elko is. All it takes is one or two guys to see the potential with an actual good coach who has a long history of success at a variety of programs to get excited. Beard would have that campus frothing at the mouth to come support the team and would be able to get money out of donors who don’t normally dabble in basketball. If the mother part is true, I would be shocked if he DIDN’T take the A&M job.
  8. Well… Vic Schaefer is an Aggie and he is crushing it in Austin and saying “Praise the Lord! Hook’em Horns!” every time he is near a microphone and that has to get annoying after a while. Beard would be an annoyingly amazing hire for those woolen fucks. I just hope he brings along his fiancée from 2 1/2 years ago.
  9. Chris Beard was arrested December 12th, 2022. Texas had barely started the season at that point. RT coached that team through the season, through the conference tournament, and then to the Elite Eight (a.k.a. "Quarterfinals"). We all know that RT isn't good at head coaching, but he did a very admirable job in the tournament and what's his name (Vandy transfer)... DISU!... helped a lot as well, but RT23 was a much better coach than RT24-25. Beard barely had his hands on that team once the season started.
  10. 1) Helobious must be pain free and not have any CTE worries... (unlike Sam after playing under Herman). 2) I don't think that Sam is going to really be a "backup QB" in the traditional sense. I think that Sam is going to become a hybrid "backup QB"/H-Back/Wildcat QB. I can't recall Sean Payton ever having a QB in the pipeline that couldn't throw that well, but was still solely a backup QB. If you couldn't throw that well, but were on a Sean Payton-coached team, you had to be a jack of all trades. Sam is at the point of: "Either evolve, or you're done in the NFL." Sam has apparently chosen to evolve.
  11. Notice anything different about this player's bio page?
  12. Had a friend (longtime season ticket holder) go last night and he sent a video of a largely empty lower level as the game was underway. Video arrived at 8:55pm and he wrote that it was in the 3rd quarter. Don't know if it was immediately after halftime or well into the quarter, but obviously the fans were in no rush to get back to their seats if it was just after halftime. IMG_7058.mov Enjoy the video of a slightly dazed crowd. NOTE: It does appear that there are fans waiting for the next stoppage in play to walk to their courtside seats right at the start of the video.
  13. Super Powers! I am telling you. The potential is HUGE!
  14. If not for giving USC a #1 seed over the better team, UCONN, then all FF teams would have been #1 seeds. JuJu getting injured just made UCONN advancing to the Final Four official 7 days earlier. The game would have been closer with a healthy JuJu, but UCONN is on fire. They weren't going to be denied.
  15. Two days ago… …and today? Olivia Miles is entering the transfer portal. https://www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/womens-basketball-transfer-portal-notre-dames-olivia-miles-makes-bold-move-to-forgo-wnba-draft-per-report/amp/ Which term enticed her into the portal? This girl is going to make so much more money playing college basketball next year than she would have in the WNBA.
  16. I don’t want to be THATGUY, but… Past Participles are a real thing. If I were THATGUY, I would write: ”…he would’ve run a 4.2…” 🤘
  17. Paige Bueckers with 31 points, 6 assists, 4 steals, 3 rebounds the game after having 40 points, and that game came after a game she had 30+ points. She’s okay. I thought that UCONN should have been a 1 seed… and I guess that I was vindicated.
  18. Good to know. I am looking to get a Eurail pass tonight while they are still 15% off and need to figure out if I get a pass for 10 or 15 days over a 2 month period or just buy a full month or 2 month unlimited. The plan is to also visit a bit of Germany and then hopefully some Spain and dip into Portugal and France from there. Big eyes, limited plans for now.
  19. I’m not too much older than you. I don’t mind change. I do get bummed when changes make things worse rather than different or better. People don’t fill out NBA playoffs for a reason… those playoffs don’t deviate much from the seedings. And in a 7 game series, unless the refs have a betting interest in the outcome/despise a team owner, the better team will win. The unpredictability of the outcomes made the tournament pure madness. The madness that occurs during the NBA Playoffs is is most likely go to be caused by boredom. I will still watch, if I’m living in the States, but I feel that it won’t be as entertaining as before. The tournament’s “Cinderella” (Arkansas) was #16 in the preseason poll. That’s pretty pitiful.
  20. I will say it here and again, I am sure, elsewhere. THE TRANSFER PORTAL IS THE DEMISE OF THE “MADNESS” OF MARCH. We have 4 #1s in the Final Four. The #1s had to beat 3 #2s and a #3 to advance. All of the top teams in Boys AND Girls basketball are littered with transfers. I think that we are witnessing the end of the Madness and don’t care because we are basically a “Have”. But it was the “Have Nots” that made the tournament crazy and fun. That’s pretty much over.
  21. Reading this in the middle of the night, I thought that you were referring to a medical center shown during a “Here at UCLA, we have facilities that…” commercial and one of the locations was a medical center used in “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”. Then I reread it and realized that you were talking about CHIEF.
  22. He looks like a Center Back in soccer ⚽️ or maybe the manager for a high school basketball team 🏀. Nice guy, good student, and possibly plays the cello in his high school orchestra. (Of course he is 1st chair cello.)
  23. Novak looked like he was melting out there on the court. He has major issues with cramping early in his career and then became one of the slowest and most deliberate players the sport has ever seen as the years went on. (Novak & Rafa were why the serve clock was invented.) I checked the temperature… …not so bad. Then my brother asked me about the humidity. Novak was always going to lose this match after losing the first set tiebreaker. No way could he go 3 sets and win against someone half his age.
  24. I love the ad at the bottom which is a perfect button on the thread titles. And then just a short, but delicious thread.
  25. If the 9 year-old is a boy and wins, you had better have “The Talk” before you hand over the money, because otherwise that kid is going to immediately spend it all on Ho’s & Blow. 🥸
