  1. yeah, I was more or less rejecting out to half court the notion that Arch and the Mannings operate in the same manner as what is typical of modern day college football players. Let's go down the list: 1. The kid literally refused to accept college offers when they were given to him. There's a story of Ed Orgeron offering him when he was a high school freshman or sophomore and Arch responding with "I'm sorry, sir I'm not accepting any offers" 2. Didnt't go to any of the typical rivals, 247, under armor, or elite 11 camps 3. First tweet was to announce his commitment to UT and has barely tweeted since. 4. Didnt accept NIL to start off his career. The list goes on and on. So all the people who traffic in the internet fodder about him or who predicted that he would transfer or leave after 1 year of playing haven't been paying attention and are totally off the mark. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he stayed 3 years, but one thing's for certain there's a much greater chance of him staying 3 than there is of him leaving after 1 year of starting.
  2. When we rebound first misses our defense gives the effect of looking totally different even though it's honestly the same level of defense we've been playing for a few games now sans the rebounding.
  3. Well, last year's team was supposed to have a 6'5" pg and a 6'8" wing to play alongside those short guards, but alas they changed their mind late in the process.
  4. It depends on what you mean when you say better constructed than last year. This year's interior play wouldn't be as big of a drawback if we were still in the big 12 (that league is down in this area as well), but in this year's SEC our interior play is a major deficiency. However, the overall guard/wing play is certainly much better than last year's.
  5. A lot of this may just be tap dancing for the gringo and telling you what he thinks you want to hear.
  6. He gets a lot of open looks off of cuts to the elbow but he seems to like to pound the shit out of the ball to get into rhythm rather than the quick hitters they set him up for at the elbow.
  7. If we had a true beast on the boards and/or a Disu like scorer in the interior this would actually be a great squad. Our inability to rebound our opponents first miss makes the defense look worse than it actually is.
  8. Despite their performance in the first half they're an atrocious 3pt shooting team. Atrocious teams from the 3pt and ft line are ripe to get upset in the tourney.
  9. Thank you for your sacrifice.
  10. Do you ever post about Texas basketball on any subject other than something concerning a coach potentially being fired?
  11. i feel like we were in a similar position to start conference play last year. I believe we started off 1-3 with a miracle win at CIncy so we probably should've started off 0-4. While I'm like many of you and dont view Rodney as a coach commensurate with the quality of bball we should expect at UT, one quality that I do like about him is he's not going to give up his job easily. He's fully aware that he's fortunate as fuck to have this job and will proceed accordingly. I'm certain that these guys will fight for him down the stretch and improve over the course of the season as all of RT's teams seem to have done over the past couple of years he's been at the helm.
  12. Shhhhhh.... .....dont telll anyone, but it's college basketball. All the teams seem like they suck for prolonged periods of time. Our main issue is we're weak as fuck in the paint and cant consistently rebound for shit.
  13. Even if he catches the ball there's still a 50/50 chance that in the effort to retrieve said pass he throws off his equilibrium and ultimately falls to the floor while losing the ball out of bounds.
  14. Word is a team broke some major bread for him that we simply and prudently weren't going to match. Up until that happened he was planning on staying.
  15. Regardless of where he goes, I'd love for Quinn to get drafted by the Rams or 49ers or even the Browns. He'd be a perfect fit in those systems.
  16. Will DeAndre Moore be a true junior or redshirt sophomore next year? I didnt think he played his freshman year.
  17. Unless his Dad is an overweight, late 30s, white guy then UTboy is not Johntay's dad. There was a TX/OU game either last year or this year where UTboy showed up to coffee and football or their afternoon show on camera. Bobby and Gerry where broadcasting outside of somewhere (barbecue place) and Gerry shouted him out and asked him to come wave to the camera.
  18. Why is Cole Hutson in for DJ Campbell on the 1st and goal play from the 1? And why is Nate Hibble (who's literally never played an offensive snap) in the game missing the most crucial block on that play? Haven't read the thread but has this been discussed?
  19. Cam must've not signed on to the game. Missing a starter seems like a big miss if not.
  20. People who live in and around Austin were probably already aware of this, but I didn't realize how long Taaffe, Mukuba, and Barron have been working out together.
  21. Did they ever add Cam Williams to the game?
  22. I was shocked to realize that Blue had 14 TDs this year. That's absolutely amazing given how many touches he had.
  23. The 25 starts in college thing is real. There's no way Arch leaves after one season.
