  1. That’s some seriously soft snowflake bullshit to stop the games over the “putttooooo” chant. It’s not even a gay slur necessarily, it’s also used if you just want to call someone a bitch. But god-forbid someone gets their feelings hurt even a little bit these days.

    weaver’s minutes + disu and max’s shot selection all fall on RT. you cannot keep your catalyst on the bench for the most important minutes of the season, and you cannot give your only two offensive weapons carte blanche to take stupid shots all game long. the dylan disu that dominated the postseason last year was destroying teams from 15 feet and in, not relentlessly jacking up threes no matter how many he missed. thus is the mercurial nature of this team. they are neither disciplined enough nor well drilled enough to be consistently good.

    coming out of the locker room for the 2H RT told the lady reporter that we needed to get our shots on our terms- the shots that we wanted within our offense. at no point in the second half did he actually enforce that policy, including/especially when abmas decided that fading away in the deep corner was a great idea for the most important shot of the season. tennessee missed a ton of bunnies and open looks, but their players were so much more disciplined and avoided taking the plethora of stupid shots that we did. we left their poor shooters unmanned on the perimeter and those guys never once considered shooting, instead opting for quick, decisive passes to keep the offense flowing. that’s coaching. the master beat the apprentice tonight, and the shot selection may be the biggest reason why. 

    Ha. It was a fucking 4 point game. Texas played like shit and still had a chance to steal it. Barnes is trash.

    What have you done with Helo. Is he in a closet somewhere? We need answers.

    I’m not really a basketball fan, so I have the benefit of objectivity when looking at the team. I’m also a pretty big Terry fan. Ridiculed and criticized by those far less accomplished in life than him, he reminds me of myself.
     

    Also life’s just too short to root against teams you like or criticize them for “not winning good enough” or not winning with the coach you wanted. Enjoy success while it’s there.

    after we played a really ugly game against csu:

    IMG_1567.thumb.jpeg.998f0aa040bfc06303c17dcf0cbd4cf0.jpeg

    texas fans were in here being rightfully and reasonably critical of the performance, and nobody was calling out or trashing RT. and yet, the pro-RT crowd decided to make whiny, angry posts about how everything is always RT’s fault and how a bunch of us would have praised the performance of chris beard was the coach, even though nobody was saying that. derailed the thread for more than a page.

    now, we don’t even play tennessee for another six hours, and the pro-RT is ALREADY making whiny, angry posts about how IF we lose tonight people will be happy because they always want to blame everything on RT.

    would you people fucking stop it? 

    There’s 4 likes combined between those 5 tweets. How long did you spend scavenging Twitter for something that fit your narrative?

    LoL. a great season is what happened last season.  Just because Shaka Smart was a fucking disaster doesn't mean you have to adjust what a great season is.

    We’ve made the sweet 16 eleven times, ever. Including pre-tourney expansion. For Texas, making the sweet 16 is a massive accomplishment. Go cry about it.

    He wins this it will be a very very good season and hope he can rebuild the roster thru the portal to keep momentum.

    Lol. If you make the sweet 16 you had nothing short of a great season.

    In hopeful news, social media app use is down across the board.  Musk’s shit show is the worst, of course. 
     

    I’d he curious to see what the demographics are. I’d bet olds are using apps more than youngs. My pre-teens tell me that being an “iPad kid” is lame. I am on social media passively for work and have noticed that the twenty somethings post a lot less than 30 and up even if they maintain a presence.

    I have some younger cousins in middle/high school. You’re definitely considered lame among them if you post on social media a lot. 
     

    There’s also a weird badge of honor thing to have a lot of followers on instagram while having just a couple or even zero pictures posted.

    He did this for football or did his family actually have to move

    That Mettauer QB is graduating so I guess Quanell didn’t have faith in the replacement for next year. I don’t know if North Shore was the right move though as they aren’t really ones to sling it around a ton.

    Top 4 most popular sport in America. Oldest sport league in the country. 
     

    Hey, what size should we make the playing field?  

    Whatever the fuck you want!!!

     

    (college field, but same lack of regulation)IMG_5540.thumb.jpeg.91de5f8516090ffe3ee4bdfcea6a52e5.jpeg

    Fun fact: soccer fields don’t have specified dimensions either. Several premier league fields are unique sizes.

    I'm not trying to be an asshole here, but what exactly is a non American name? I assume you mean something ethnic sounding, verson something like Smith or Jones?

    We're supposed to be a melting pot. It makes me sad that you have to think of you and your sons own names in that light.

    I understand what he’s saying, even knowing there’s no such thing as an “American” name (names like Smith, Jones, Miller, etc didn’t even originate in America) I have a very generic hispanic name,  but it was pretty standard in the part of the country I grew up in so I never really thought twice about it till I was an adult and traveled other places in the US. I know F250 doesn’t live in the same kind of area. 
     

    Ironically I think the most American names would be something like De’Shonthony or Quantavion. You won’t find names like those anywhere else in the world.
