  1. Wingo committed last weekend. Black committed in July or August, can't remember. Texas will keep recruiting both like nothing can be taken for granted, but there is a lot of focus on getting guys committed to other schools and just letting some things play out. 
    We've talked about Texas circling back on various DBs as the season moves forward. At this point, I think Myles Davis and Wardell Mack are going to get more attention than Gipson for various reasons. If ATM or Florida collapses in ways that either program could, that would be the guy I'd pick as the favorite.

  2. If anyone has any interest in some tether cords, let me know. I have a shitload of old ones. USB-a, usb-c to micro B.
    Tethering is pretty invaluable for certain types of photography and it’s a nice way to shoot if you have a client or creative collaborators on set.
    I’d rather give them to people rather than the trash pile.

  3. I am usually pretty indifferent towards athletes that are showmen and don’t care. I’ve never been the old man yelling at clouds, especially since I find Deion’s three ring circus at Colorado entertaining. However, Djokovic was absolutely slaughtering Shelton start to finish and Novak was standing there watching celebrations the entire match. He watched the young fella throw tantrums throughout the match as well. It was embarrassing to watch just as a fan, much less anyone associated with him that had to watch the immaturity on display. He gave off a strong entitled douchebro vibe which, yes, is harsh to say, but that is how Shelton came across yesterday. So yes Novak was more than justified in making fun of him. I do not care much for Djokovic as Alcaraz is why I pay attention to men’s tennis. Shelton decided to poke the bear for two solid hours and he got owned throughput the match and with the post match celebration.

    Interesting. I wasn’t able to watch the match yesterday until I caught the end of the 3rd set when it was pretty entertaining. I’ve watched a decent amount of Shelton matches this season and don’t remember any entitled tantrums (beyond the normal tennis player stuff).
    He does come off as bro at times but I love his game.

    I thought an apt punishment for the loser of the Tiafoe-Shelton match would be that they are relegated to wearing shirts with sleeves for a year.

    I don’t blame him at all for doing that. Shelton deserved more than that, but that was really funny. 

    Ha. What do you think Shelton fully deserved for his celebration infractions?

    Novak should at least have the balls to own up to it…”I thought it was really cool, I copied him”. Same Novak story - still mad the crowd doesn’t love him like Roger and Rafa and is apparently miffed that the NY crowd was pumped on a 20 year old American newcomer in his 1st year on tour.

    Meanwhile Shelton said if you win you should be able to celebrate how you want.

    Maybe Ben should adopt the shirt rip and expose his nipples off for all to see.
  5. she's slow playing everything.  Gauff has the same distance, playing the same points.  she knows where the towel is and knows the clock starts(or should start) after the score.  the ump should be on her more if anything.

    Yeah it’s her strategy. Everyone does it when it’s in their favor. Even Novak got a warning recently (maybe Wimbledon?).
    Gauff likes to play fast. So she’s trying to slow everything down, even on that bullshit challenge that Gauff laughed at.
  6. this german chici is annoying...

    I agree with her about the towel thing though. You have to have some discretion, especially when the game is going on for so long.
    I like her strategy. She’s going for it all. Entertaining for sure.
