  1. We have an opportunity to inflict some pain and tears on several hated rivals and go through a bracket that looks a lot more winnable with Tennessee gone. If our pitching somehow holds together, we're looking pretty good. End of the day, all you can ask for is the opportunity and as someone said, let's finish the year like we started.
  2. Fantastic comeback though the celtics aren't going to be able to replicate that shooting performance. Still, Tatum should have better shooting nights and you have to love the younger, less experienced team stealing the momentum. They also didn't get phased by the 3rd quarter barrage like they did against the Heat. Those 7 game series have helped give them some experience. I still expect that GS will win the series but as a Boston fan (#2 team after the Spurs), I've got my fingers crossed that they can win 2 out of the next 3 and take a big enough lead to hold on for a series win. It is kinda ridiculous that GS has a #1 pick that is a role player in Wiggins and a #2 pick (Wiseman) who was shut down and they just put in a better player in Mooney. They are so stacked with talent it's not even funny.
  3. Was about to post this. What a fucking dweeb. I was waiting for him to say, "I'm not going to stand by while someone fucks my wife...I mean, talks about these 17 year old kids and their families..."
  4. So he's basically an asshole who is a failure at his job and takes out his impotence on any woman willing to stick around him. So basically, an Aggy.
  5. That game and that crowd at the end. Texas basketball has been smoldering for a while. Hopefully this is the coach that takes us into a consistently elite category. It was great to see us play a little like bullies. Great start to a brutal stretch. Thanks for sharing the video and pics from the end of the game @LTtxfan@KingBobo81
  6. If you believe in the long term outlook and I think the historical data and more recent interest would support a strong long term outlook, this is an opportunity to leverage dca in a positive way. If you are looking for immediate 10x return, probably disappointing to you. Personally, I added some projects I didn't get enough of cheaper and also added to other mainstays that I've already done well on and expect to continue to go up. If btc drops another 5k I'll be buying even more. I think at 35/45/55k btc is a bargain compared to what it'll be at in 2025 and I don't want the regrets I had when I didn't buy more at 2k thinking it was overvalued back in 2017... Same with any of the larger projects that have institutional backing.
  7. Agree on Coinbase pro. I use voyager for the interest and decent selection of coins. Uphold, binance, Bittrex (barely use) and Gemini round out my sites, though some of that is because i started a while back. I would say voyager and cb pro are 90% now and then metamask with uni is most of the rest (if you want access to coins earlier or defi products). Good time to buy in. Also, if you open a account make sure to put in a referral code to get some free crypto for trading.
  8. I think Durkin would kill it as Aggy DC.
  9. They lure you in with a lot of money if you are literate. I think OU offered me a full ride plus stipend when I was looking at schools, even though I didn't apply. Clearly sometimes it works.
  10. Based on what we heard from Brooks and now from Watts, it looks like Terry Joseph is staying. He even had a soft landing spot on LSU's staff (reportedly). Hopefully we still have Patterson ending up in some advisory capacity as it's hard to see talent as the only reason for last year's defensive debacle. Then again, news doesn't seem to leak often prior to something happening so fingers are crossed. I was hoping the quiet regarding Jimmy Lake meant that we were in talks to potentially bring him in. Hard to argue with the success Coach K had with Lake handling the backend for years, though I wonder if Lake's dismissal makes him too radioactive for us to bring on board.
  11. Thanks for sharing. I'm no expert, obviously far from it but he's got pretty impressive balance for his size, moves well (the play where he flares out to kick out the edge), and has violent hands. Obviously as big as he is he can just wait for people to come to him but seeing him seek and destroy on the second level, drop into a pass blocking stance and catch the rusher and then plant him on the ground and generally bully people warms my heart. I honestly felt a little bad for the defenders he pancaked repeatedly. He's likely a guy that still has a pretty high ceiling in terms of functional strength and needs to reshape his body a little but there's no reason to think he's really a starting right tackle or possibly a guard in 2023.
  12. Looks like an ambitious guy who keeps moving to better jobs. Not a bad thing compared to Coleman. Not a lot of jobs better then Texas nor offensive minds like sark to learn from
  13. Dude, we get it, you don't like it. It's painful to see you argue something that's wrong. We have at most 8 this class, 2 last. That's 10 over 2 classes. A little more then you might want in an ideal sense but there's not a single commit that isn't a take. There are no reaches in this class. Banks and Neto play this year. Greene and Campbell do if they sign. Williams might if they don't. The others might shirt or play. Either way, you split these between these classes and start building a pipeline. Next year's in state offensive line class isn't super deep so far. And yes, you are right, some will likely portal out. It might be the lowest rated guy, it might be the highest rated. At the end of the day, we needed great lineman and lots of them. I feel as good about our room as I have in a while.
  14. Haha, fuck that clown * * Full disclosure you can still join as our new running backs coach
  15. Thank you for posting! Was searching for this Listening to Sark you can get a sense for why he'd be great in a living room. Easy guy to root for and really hope this class gets us back to the where we belong.
  16. LOL. accidently hit submit, but you know, I think that's what we did last year. Think of how well we'll play this year with all 5 lineman. Assuming no portal lineman, LT Banks LG Hayden C Angilau RG Campbell RT Jones doesn't look bad. I'd love to grab the UVA center and/or finally have the Brocks portal back home but we'll see after Wed.
  17. Didn't have cfs for breakfast (got banned from grandys after clogging the toilet). I mean, Roach won't put his pick in until Ewers takes his first class at Texas
  18. Time to come home and bring Brooks with you. Talk about an instant upgrade in terms of coverage and backfield options
  19. I really hope so. Hopefully with someone who can coach/scheme the backend better, pk reverts to his mean. Even a marginal improvement in the defense should be dramatic. Honestly, on paper pk and Patterson are two of the better schematic guys in the country. Was really hoping Joseph was out the door but looks like Gideon might be the casualty, though I guess we'll know soon.
