  1. He looked like a young nervy QB in his first road game against a top 5 team in an extremely hostile environment with millions watching his every move… what was worrisome was the odd mechanics from the savant QB who has been closely coached by experts since he could hold a football. Assuming he beats up on the cupcakes coming up lets see if he has learned and put this game in his rearview once he starts again on the road in the SEC with almost everyone in attendance wanting him to fail miserably
  2. The one playing center for Miami is getting embarrassed
  3. So is he UTSA, North Texas, Texas St level or could he maybe start at Houston or SMU?
  4. Sacrilege these Iowa state fans sitting in the stands 2 hours before kickoff with hundreds of great Dublin pubs within walking distance to get some craic beforehand
  5. the main questions I have about this team are: can we defend a fast smaller guard? do we have someone who can bring the ball up the court against pressure? do we have someone who can reliably breakdown a 1-on-1 defender on a drive and cause opposing defenses to adjust/help when we need a good look? I’m hoping the kid from St Johns can be a reliable point man. We will need him and/or Pope to be.
  6. I like the physicality, rebounding, and interior defense this roster looks like it could bring. Give me one more guy who can handle the ball with some pace (a true point) for about 15-20 mins a game and I'd be super satisfied. I'm not sure Mark is someone I want bringing the ball up the court more than a few possessions a game to show something different to the opposing defense. Once we get into the half-court offense, I am cool with him getting some time running the point more. As it stands now, I am hoping Wilcher and/or Pope can be competent moving the ball up the court with confidence and pace against a pressing defense, cause it seemed like Mark had to turn his back and slow things down significantly at times when we asked him to do that near the end of last year. Even if we are done with roster additions, I like the changes. If think keys will be how well our guards protect the ball and how well our SFs/PFs can hit 3's when loosely guarded.
  7. Richards was good … can’t think of another USA guy who made an argument this game to be on the squad besides maybe berhalter as a backup
  8. Abyemang just got outmuscled by a 140 lb 16 year old … sub him now
  9. Abyemang seems like he wants nothing to do with this game … who do we have that can sub in for him?
  10. Good guys look gassed and panicked
  11. And Freeze plays stupid absent his PK showing last game
  12. Arfsten and Freeman are shit
  13. We were sucking eggs the last 3rd of the game … PKs is a blessing over OT
  14. Arfsten, Freeman, and the goalie sucking it
  15. It’s amazing that Haiti can even field a team with the state of their country
  16. Most of these guys except a couple defensive players are 4th stringers … or worse
  17. How many, if any, of these guys have a legit shot at starting at the World Cup?
  18. Smokey Denmark (based for several decades in east central Austin) has some quality sausage. Their "hot links" are badass, exponentially so if you throw em on the smoker for a couple hours.
  19. Even if the meatheads in the room had no idea who the tall guy approaching the front of the room was to ask questions / argue a point, there were several opportunities for someone to step in and attempt to diffuse the situation before he was shoved out of the room, taken to the floor and cuffed. Instead, a bunch of cell phones come out with hopes of filming something violent. I seriously doubt that nobody on the FBI/ICE side in that room knew who Padilla was. If he was breaching any rules/protocols for a press conference in a secure Govt facility, they should have talked to him once they got him outside the room rather than manhandled him to the ground, as he wasn't fighting back. Sickening event, from what was being spewed about liberating the city to how escalated, and the unnecessary force was used... not to mention chilling from a 1st Amendment perspective if indeed this was a situation where nobody in the room genuinely knew who Padilla was or what his intentions were.
  20. So they spend the top of the inning gushing about tech’s unconventional scoring and the tech batters fouling off balks and will certainly fluff techs Pritchett in the bottom of the inning… when does Texas get some positive publicity?
  21. I’ve never seen an unintentional walk where the pitcher was just tiptoeing the edge of the zone
  22. Team got beat up and exposed/figured out as the season was ending. They over performed in year one of the new coach and with some added talent (preferably with a few proven portal hitters to fill some holes) next year brings hope.
  23. Not without some serious lasix and a thousand hours hitting offspeed pitches in the offseason
