  1. The entire offseason for the Cowboys has been laughable and this is the icing. Back to Zeke?? LOL. Can't make this up. I can't fathom how anyone manages to be a die hard Cowboys fan. Jerry just steals your time and money laughing all the way to the bank. It's truly such a unique blend of incompetence and DGAF (because the $$ will roll in regardless) that it's pretty fascinating to watch.
  2. Did Kidd talk about this at all post-game? I did not understand strategy there at all. I listened to a pre-playoff interview with Cuban and he specifically talked about how rim protection from Gafford and Lively was a huge part of what turned this season around, and then we just abandon it in the 4th quarter. I'm still at a loss for how we didn't make an adjustment by the 3rd or 4th time Harden drove to the basket without resistance.
  3. I was extremely close to pulling the trigger on tix this morning. Thank goodness I didn't. Really no excuse for coming out this flat with an opportunity to put a stranglehold on this series. Not good.
  4. Maybe the game winner will start a trend of elevating the fucking puck when we're right on him. What a goal. We deserved to win that damn game. Now win another on Monday.
  5. Missing the wide open net leading to the shorty was pretty much the only time I've noticed him all series.
  6. I still can't believe Roope didn't finish which led to the shorty. He's probably 90% in that situation and on a cold streak we haven't seen from him. I was convinced he had been injured but certainly not there. Just unbelievable. We would have a 3 or 4 goal lead if Thompson wasn't playing great OR we just fucking finish like we have all damn season. But fuck it. A 1 goal win is the same as a 6 goal win. Get composed, play your game, and just fucking win.
  7. This game is fucking maddening. Thompson just dominating us. And we absolutely refuse to elevate the puck. JFC.
  8. That was such a fun game last night. Didn't even play well offensively but completely dismantled them. The Clippers looked lost in the 2nd half. They made that one run to cut it to 6 or 7 then Kyrie, who hadn't done anything all game with foul trouble, puts up 8 straight. Great W.
  9. That's what it boils down to. It's a great station owned by a garbage corporation and managed by morons. They are going to milk it for all it's worth a few more years then that's that. Decent shows on Middays are almost certainly gone for good. Once the Musers decide to retire and Bob and Corby get through the contract they just signed, the station itself is probably done. The station absolutely should swallow their pride, hire Sirois back at a fair salary and pair him with Donny, but that aint the Cumulus way.
  10. Yall need to go back and read @immamac's post about actually attempting to interject some humor instead of constant outrage posting. Maybe someone else will get it.
  11. Their revolution is over. Condolences! My advice to them is to do what their parents did - get a job! The bums will always lose!
  12. You are a really productive and articulate poster and a great value add to every discussion. Always bringing up new, unique and non-inflammatory talking points to drive intelligent discourse. Keep on being great.
  13. Agreed with this. I think a lot of people are in an absolute state of denial about their State of residence. I have zero idea about Hartzel's personal politics or how much he likes this job, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he walks away from it. If he does, good luck finding a replacement that is better if you are a liberal. Who would want to step into a situation juggling a heavy liberal leaning faculty student body that happens to be a public institution in a MAGA state with MAGA politicians?
  14. It's not just state politics. It's internal politics as well. He's getting heat for what happened but imagine the heat from those cutting the checks that actually matter if he would have let UT campus turn into Columbia. Just like the Eyes of Texas nonsense that threatened millions in funding he had to navigate. Nobody on this board cares about or likes to consider that reality but it's a fact. A lot easier to have hot takes and play Monday AM QB on a message board where all that is hanging in the balance is internet rep
  15. Pretty sure I saw that Bourque played last night so not sure if we can read anything into that or not. Maybe they wouldn't use him in any event but if he would have been pulled that was probably a sign. Listened to replays of the Deboer and Duchene interviews on the Ticket this AM while walking dog. They are clearly frustrated. The general sense (that I agree with for the most part after taking a step back) is that they haven't necessarily played poorly. They just aren't getting results. This level of play probably has us up 2-0 against most teams or a split at a minimum. Advanced stats show both games have pretty much been 50/50 but the Knights are just making one more play that matters. I think we all felt worse after Weds game mainly because of the way they completely suffocated us down the stretch in the 3rd (and of course the reality of what going down 2-0 means for series changes). It was a masterpiece of a close out. Just need to somehow get game 3 tomorrow.
  16. I only jumped into the thread because you misrepresented what was said in the text to fit your agenda/position. I haven't had time to (nor do I really plan to or have any desire to) read the entire thread or watch every video. I assume a bunch of asshole cops acted like you might expect asshole cops might act when mixed with asshole protestors. If you want to blame Hartzell for not giving very specific instructions to minimize confrontation, then that's probably a valid criticism and I would have perused the thread and turned my attention back to the draft without engaging. Now I'm turning my attention to bed. I'll let you keep yelling at the clouds assuming anyone that disagrees with you is a 75 year old Newsmax junkie. Good luck with that.
  17. He was speaking from a place of watching a bunch of losers take over campuses across the country. USC just cancelled commencement because of these assholes. Imagine just being a normal student or parent of said student and getting commencement cancelled because of this bullshit. I don't give a damn about what side you are on. Palestine, MAGA, BLM, whatever, protest all you want until you start interfering with everyone else just living their lives thinking your cause is more important. I'm not opining on what actually happened. I'm pushing back on the thought that it was a mistake to prepare for the possibility the same thing could happen at Texas that has happened elsewhere.
  18. LOL. JFC dude. I'm a Trump hating Biden and D voter across the board outside of random local races. The constant far left circle jerk on this site is hilarious. You all live in the same fantasy world the MAGA nutjobs do and you don't realize it. If you read what Hartzell actually stated (not the bullshit you projected on him or me), assume it was true, and you still think he was wrong, that's fine. That's your opinion. But I assure you it's a minority one no matter what you all convince yourselves talking to each other on this board.
  19. I agree. It certainly appears mistakes were made. But this board started going apeshit over the text message chain, and if what Hartzell stated was accurate in the chain, I personally have no issue with him requesting backup.
  20. Boomer. Ok bud. I can assure you Hartzell would have been under a lot more fire from the donors that matter if he let the campus turn into the idiocy that is all over the news at Columbia and elsewhere. Mistakes appear to have been made but if there was actual intel these losers were descending on campus to wreak havoc (and I did see the stat that many arrested had no UT affiliation) I have zero issue taking steps to make sure that didn't happen.
  21. At least get the text right. It stated he called them because they affirmatively stated they wanted to do the same takeover encampent bullshit they did at Columbia. The National Chapter. If that is actually the case and that was the intent - good for him.
  22. Yeah, it really did seem to be snowballing. Their goalie was giving up rebounds that just never found our stick, not finishing plays, not getting calls, just seemed like everything kind of working against us and it gave them all the confidence for what ended up being a defensive masterpiece down the stretch. I saw we didn't even get a SOG the last 5.5 minutes which I didn't realize at the time, but yeah, seems right. Absolutely everything is going right for them in this series and most of that has to do with their play. We've been a great road team all year so maybe we can win game 3 and it gets interesting again but definitely walked out of that building last night fully realizing may not be back for a hockey game until next October.
  23. I said 90% not 100%. And I didn't expect most cloak room posters to be in the 90%. Just stating reality.
  24. LOL. Newsflash. 90%+ of alumni and donors don't give a fuck about the West Mall and whatever flavor of the month protest is in the news even if this was mishandled. Most of us saw it and rolled our eyes every time we walked past when we were on campus. Hartzell and Eltife paved the way to the SEC and a competitive football team. They have kept UT a respectable institution of higher learning for those that want to get educated and get a good job. They are golden.
