  1. Probably the same thing that makes Josh McDaniels a hot commodity every year he's ever becen an assistant. I mean he took a promising Broncos job and quickly traded away their 2 best players to draft Tim Tebow. Then he backed up that genius decision making to take a Raiders team coming off of a playoff year and promptly started them off 2-7 after trading for one of the best two or three WRs in the game.
  2. Again none of Andy Reid's other OCs have ever had playcalling duties yet the issue literally never came up when they were interviewing for jobs. This shit really isn't that hard guys.
  3. Staples is ok but the next time he goes 30 seconds without force feeding an SEC anecdote will be a first for him.
  4. For some reason we dropped what looked like a certain commit from him and started chasing after Cason Wallace late in the process when we literally had no chance of getting him. If we were going to prioritize anyone late in the process other than George it should've been Anthony Black. I'm not quite sure why we seemingly never went after him aggressively. Before he blew up in basketball and looked to be 4 star WR he was a Texas lean.
  5. Just because you still love Buzz Williams despite his incredible level of suck doesn't mean the rest of us do.
  6. To me the game that epitomizes Shaka's tenure at UT more than any is the P80 tournament vs Duke. Everything from being up on Duke by damn near 20 with 10 minutes to go to not only squandering the lead away, but ending the game in OT with Eric Davis attempting to guard Marvin Bagley while future all conference performers James Banks and Royce Hamm looked on from the bench.
  7. Matt Nagy, Doug Pederson, Brad Childress, and Marty Morhinweg were all OCs under Andy Reid and none had play calling duties yet they all became HCs with nary a mention of their lack of play calling duties under Reid.
  8. I'm pretty sure Tucker missed the spring of his sophomore season (spring 2005). He played all of fall 2004. It was the same spring that LaMarcus Aldridge missed due to his hip issue. Aldridge's hips are the reason he came back for his sophomore season and ultimately what allowed us to go to the elite during the 2005-2006 season.
  9. That was a chickenshit shot attempt right there. He might as well have shit in his pants on that shot.
  10. When was the last time this country was in such a dark place culturally? Not sure if serious. When have we not? Ever hear of the lynching of Willie James Howard. He was a 15 year old kid who was lynched in the 40s for making the unforgivable mistake of giving Christmas cards to all his co-workers. One of whom happened to be a white girl. She told her father about it who happened to be a state senator. He rounded up the boys picked up Willie and his father by gun point. They tied up Willie by his hands and feet took him to the foot of the Suwanee River and had his father watch as they gave him the choice of dying by a bullet to the head or jumping in the river. His father watched on helplessly as his son jumped into the river and drowned. When was the last time this country was in such a dark place culturally you ask.
  11. Courtney Ramey is really blossoming playing alongside a crew of high IQ players. He's already hit three 3s and made 2 outstanding assists in the first 8 minutes of the game.
  12. I'm not sharing this to big up the Schottenheimer hire. I'm sharing it to highlight how uninventful the Garrett/Linehan/Moore lineage was. Color me shocked there were 3 teams that ran more curls/ hitches than us.
  13. He was given the title of Associate head coach. He's the interim coach for a reason.
  14. Judging by how OU performed against Bama perhaps it would be smart to hold on to Moser until they begin SEC play.
  15. Allen cant shoot beyond `18 feet and Carr can't get by anyone, however each of them knows where their spot is on their floor and works to get shots from their designated areas (more so true of Allen, Carr still veers towards hero ball too much for my liking but he's admittedly hit those tough shots more frequently this year). Make no mistake, they're good college basketball players, but when people say a team is talented and laud players for their talent you expect one or two exceptional traits that make it easy for them. No player on this team makes it look easy. They have to work really hard or have things set up for them to get to their spots.
  16. And truth be told Marcus Carr has been on a hot streak much of this year, but even at 6'5" he'd struggle to be in the NBA. He'd have difficulty getting by anyone playing with a 24 second shot. And his style where he constantly seems like he's off balance and playing like the court has a nice sheen of ice on it isn't an NBA guard's game irrespective of his height.
  17. Yes you're correct, if they were totally different players they'd be in the NBA.
  18. MItchell really impressed me with his play today. He made a couple of high IQ plays and passes on the offensive end and showed well on the defensive end down thew stretch as well. I hope he stays for another year. Because Donewald's biggest claim to fame before becoming a full-time assistant was in player development. He's the type of guy who could really upgrade Mitchell's skill level with a full offseason provided we go to the Final 4 this year and the entire staff is retained.
  19. Same here. We match up really well with KU.
  20. I have to say, at the risk of ruffling a lot of feathers around here, this team is no where near as talented as a lot of us pretend they are. What they are is a team that is super experienced with a bunch of high IQ players. More specifically we're loaded with a core group of players who are supremely aware of what they're good at individually and rarely venture outside of it. But to say they're a super talented group is a leap too far in my opinion. I'd be highly surprised if any of a our upperclassmen spent a single second in the NBA. Just wanted to voice my petty disagreement because I see this claim repeated around here way too often.
  21. He doesn't look anything like Arterio Morris. What the hell are you talking about? Tre isnt anywhere near as athletic as Morris and he's super refined and uber skilled. He's about the most skilled 2 guard I've seen at his age in a long time.
  22. We went to Manhattan and took that shit like a middle school bully taking lunch money.
