  1. It's very much Vietnam. Maybe look closer at what the soldiers are packing.
  2. Sierra Nevada Cosmic Little Thing IPA. Really damn good. Dangerously smooth for 8% - and that might be my main critique - a little syrupy on the back-end. I'm more of a hazy guy - less of a double IPA fan. This is a nice little middle ground. It's kind of like a good version of a lot of the high ABV Voodoo Ranger shlock.
  3. He was sheltered there in an attempt to avoid the Opium wars going on with the British Empire.
  4. If it comes to pass we'll have to get Helo some Sooner gear.
  5. If she commits to anyone but Vic she's making a mistake.
  6. There's a lot of videos out there of Euro length and couches.
  7. "Half the story" is being generous to Tom. Sark has done a much better job building and maintaining an elite staff, recruiting the right players (not just trying to pile up star ratings) and developing players and coaching to a standard. It's not like Tom didn't have access to talent. He missed on a lot of guys and didn't develop worth a shit.
  8. Sounds like she isn't going away without some legal fees.
  9. I don't understand what you're arguing. I already said huge splash hires don't happen very often in college basketball. That doesn't mean CDC or any other AD is incapable of pulling it off. Like I listed out they happen all the fucking time in cfb.
  10. The point is that big names get lured away all the time in cfb. Obviously there is minutae with every hire - just like there was when Texas landed Beard. It's easier to maintain year-over-year results in cbb which is why guys like Izzo, Self, Coach K wind up sticking around for 30 years. There are also a LOT more schools where you can consistently contend nationally if you know what you're doing.
  11. Um. Lincoln to SC, Kelly to LSU, DeBoer to Bama... It definitely doesn't happen a lot in MBB. It happens all the time in cfb.
  12. Donovan took them to the title game in 2000 but then went 5 straight seasons without a SS. Then they won b2b titles. The Donovan wishcasting was that if he DID want to return to college Texas would be a good opening and it would have been easy for him to step away from the Bulls. Obviously if he's just fine in the NBA then it was never going to happen.
  13. They need to extend the deadline because the current date makes it to where they kind of have to open it early.
  14. No one gives a fuck about Shaka Smart's regular season record against anybody. He's a shitty coach because he's a chronic tournament choker. He's won a big East title at MU and has had them on the 2 seed line twice now. He beat Bill Self-coached Kansas twice in the same season at Texas which only like 3 guys have ever done. Good for him. I'm sorry you miss Shaka Smart Texas Basketball but Miller is much more competent and much less of an ass-clown. I'll take a guy that gets a 5 or 6 seed to the Elite Eight over a guy that can't regularly get a top 3 seed to the SS let alone out of the first round any day of the week.
  15. Then how many games did he decide to hire RT based on? You think Terry gets hired in 2023 if Texas loses in the first round of the tourney? Making the EE and nearly the FF was absolutely material when it came to rolling the dice on Terry.
  16. Oh c'mon. The 2023 Xavier game absolutely had a lot to do with RT getting the job.
  17. I have Houston and Florida in the title game. Y'all can just send me the money now.
  18. Is that hot off the press? If so...
  19. I think this is the reality of the sport moving forward. Especially for a program like Texas. Get your ducks in a row and the $$$ in order and recruit the shit out of Texas and do it with someone at the helm that isn't going to drive the bus off a cliff. I mean - crappy coaches win titles or get close in the NBA all the fucking time.
  20. When we quit talking about Colt in 2009.
  21. I'm not debating how the rule should be called I'm saying that based on how the rule actually is called that's not much of a travel. Exactly.
  22. Yeah I was wondering if that's what you meant.
