  1. That’s pretty funny
  2. I've played some pickup games like the ACU game. Where the other team is shorter and less athletic, but cares WAY more than you. So they destroy you on the glass, out hustle you on defense and ultimately win. It is annoying.
  3. Haven't read the thread, but have you considered a small grill like this? I think it looks more subtle and classy than the full sized grill.
  4. Me, even 3 years later:
  5. Up until the end, I wanted Shaka to succeed at Texas. Early in his time here, we lost sooooo many close games by just a few points. And we were recruiting well. It seemed like we had a CHANCE to turn the corner. The team that lost to Abilene was actually a really good, well constructed team. They finished 9th in the final AP poll, and were as high as 4th for multiple weeks. I thought it had the potential to make a deep run in the tourney - maybe even to the Final Four. I mean, we had TEN top-100 HS players on the roster. Matt Coleman was a boss. We had solid interior play with Jericho Sims, Kai Jones, Greg Brown, Hepa, Cunningham, Hamm, etc. And our guards were all experienced. It is just beyond comprehension that this team lost to ACU.
  6. How is K-State not in KenPom top 25???
  7. I couldn't agree more. Even if Beard was still coaching the team, I wouldn't have gone into that game with confidence AT ALL.
  8. I don’t take a ton from this game. ISU is good and it is hard to ever beat them at home. The Big 12 is a bloodbath. Also, turns out K-State wasn’t a horrible loss and we were all freaking out after that one.
  9. Guess his back got hurt one of the 10 times he undercut our players.
  10. We might be the least physical team in the Big 12.
  11. Somebody remind me how I can watch this without ESPN+. Via PM if necessary.
  12. In previous years, I have no doubt we would be 1-4 or 2-3. I'm mainly encouraged that we are still finding ways to win even though we aren't playing that great. It will be interesting to see what happens the rest of the season. Every day this is more Terry's team. As the schedule keeps getting harder we will see what they are all made of. They won't be able to let teams like Kansas get out to big leads.
  13. My closing lineup would be Hunter, Carr, Rice, Allen and then whoever is playing better between Disu and Bishop. If you have to go big then I would sit Allen before any of the guards. They all shoot 80%+ from the line and can all handle the ball at a pretty elite level.
  14. I like this team much better than last year’s team. Rice is more clutch than anyone on that team. Carr is playing better off the ball. Disu is better. The freshmen are supremely athletic and fun to watch. The team is finding ways to win. Those damn Shaka teams would have like 10 losses by <5 points. This team is winning those games. Hunter is the difference in the team being good or being special. I think he will pull it together.
  15. I'm just spit-balling here, but I think Terry might be able to leverage winning a National Title into some decent recruits and transfers. Of course, he isn't going to win a title, so it is moot.
  16. Or they could have... you know... used one of their two remaining timeouts where they could have designed a play to put the ball in LeBron's hands.
  17. I don’t think a single person on this board is advocating for hiring Rodney Terry. I’m only saying that it is possible for me to change my mind. But having watched the team the last few weeks, it is incredibly unlikely.
  18. I think he is doing a little better than OK. The whole Beard situation had the potential of completely splintering the team going into a brutal Big-12 slate. I think he has done a great job under those circumstances. I mean, he is 8-1 with wins over Massey #16, at #32, #41, at #59. Only loss was to the #11 team (although it was pretty painful). Yes it seems like we should be winning bigger than we are, but a lot of those would be close losses in previous years. Again, I think we can do better, but give the man his due.
  19. Do you really think the only way Terry keeps his job is if we win a title? What if we win the Big 12, something we have only done 3 times? What if we make it to an Elite 8, something we have only done 4 times in the last 50 years? What if we make a Final Four? This roster is definitely talented enough to do any of the above. We are winning games with our best player playing like shit. If they put it together they are capable of having the best year in school history. And if Terry pulls it off, it will be under extremely difficult circumstances. As I have said, I think we can do better. But saying he has zero chance is stupid.
  20. If Terry gives us a solid tourney run (Sweet 16 all the way up to potential Final Four), I’m fine giving him another year. Or give him a multi year deal, but with a very low buyout. But under no circumstances would I sign him to a long term deal without multiple good years.
  21. This is the most fun to watch team we have had in about 10 years in my opinion. I like literally all of the players.
  22. I was pretty impressed by Tech. We clearly have the more talented roster, but they uglied the game up and almost beat us. They have also been very close in a lot of their other losses, including Kansas. I’m not sure Terry is better than Adams.
  23. It is really going to suck when Aggy hires Beard and they win a title, while beating us continually in the SEC. But I would take it over celebrating the retention of a domestic abuser.
