What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
I wish he'd leave that kid alone and go do something more sensible like shooting up a public safe-space.

Brian Kelly to L$U
My point is largely that parroting their 3 titles since 2000 as some reflection of the strength of their program over a program like Texas - while valid - isn't some all-encompasing metric. Since 2000 Texas has seven top-5 AP finishes to LSU's five. Texas has ten top-10 AP finishes to LSU's nine. LSU has a couple more conference titles (granted Texas was gypped out of one in 2008). They have overachieved when it comes to national titles while Texas has underachieved. Shit happens. It says something about how easy it is to win at LSU that they've done it with three different guys but prior performance isn't always indicative of future results. We just saw a guy faceplant there. There's no guarantee the next guy wins a title, either.

I think his body is done. Unless he loses a ton of weight, but he won't because he's a rock head.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Kind of a split flagship with UCLA. If you're talking athletically then obviously it's not LSU and there are schools by far worse than Cal - including a bunch that don't play FBS football.

His parents named him Diego Paviiiiaaaaa. Which, of course, in Italian means a whale's vagina.

Brian Kelly to L$U
See my edit. The point is that they don't consistently get to some level that Texas struggles to reach. I mean fucking Herman almost beat their 2019 NC team. And Kelly has just proven that you can fail to reach that standard there. Think what you want about Kelly being a bad fit - he isn't some dipshit that doesn't know how to coach football.

Week 9 - Vandy at Texas.
Taaffe out last week had a pretty obvious impact imo. Not sure he's the best player on our D but along with MM I think he's the most important. Ant is a monster but feels like you could kind of cobble together some of his production if he was out. Taaffe isn't a lockdown-cover safety but he is vocal and and on-the-field leader and is really good against the run game. We just don't have anyone to replace what he brings. All that said - hopefully with the film from last week and a week of prep we get some better safety play this weekend and guys get a bit more comfortable. From the initial timeline I'm assuming he misses another game?

Week 9 - Vandy at Texas.
This is some silly shit to worry about. If this was a concern it would have revealed itself on Saturday. This is a flawed team but they play hard for 4 quarters and play for each other. Yes. He's got wheels. I guess we'll see what his pocket-presence is like, though.

Sure but it's a fine-line a lot of the time. Same for college basketball. Some teams have a ton of Final Fours without many titles, some teams bat like .800 once they make the Final Four. Texas has 4 NC-caliber seasons since LSU's 2007 title despite 13 years of desert-wandering. Including 2007, LSU has 2 titles and a NCG appearance (my bad - forgot they beat Bama in 2011 in reg season). They've made the CFP once. Texas is a better job. Who? The governor?

I have Danny as the best verse on 1 Train. Not really any bad options, though.

25-26 Dallas Mavericks Thread: The Season of Our Discontent
He wound up having a really nice game 😂 I still don't trust that guy. Flagg is the mf truth. Y'all may need to tear it down to the studs and rebuild though. All of your timelines are jacked up.

I was not expecting any sort of switch to flip for KJ this season. This changes the calculus. This team may win 50 games.

What did this guy wearing number 3 do with Keldon Johnson? Is he tied up somewhere? Do I need to alert authorities?

Best offensive player in NBA history?
He did all of that shit while gambling and drinking and playing golf. He's the greatest player to ever touch a basketball. Two three-peats. With good but not great teams.
