If BaD Radio isn't on from 3-7 p.m. ...
Nah this was well known and was referenced on here a number of times. Bob's affinity for Aggy was never a secret. He routinely talked about going to Aggy games with the same family he attended the LSU game with, and he has gone to at least one aggy game a year with them for the past decade if not longer. He famously left the Aggy quintuple overtime win over LSU early because of his mother in-law. Some of us on here sort of talked ourselves into believing his daughter would pick UT to rebel against him, but it was clear through the frequent times they talked about Aggy on Bad Radio that the family he and his wife hang out with had done a pretty good job of making Aggies out of them.

Arterio Morris
I'm glad he chose to go back to Kimball instead of playing for that made up school in Lewisville. I wonder whether he and Keyonte George had a falling out.

Dallas Cowboys 2021 Regular Season Thread -- Money, Masks, & Masochism
Dak has looked off (especially when throwing on the run) since the calf injury. Judging by how long it took Gallup and now Gregory to get over their calf injuries I'm guessing it's still affecting Dak.

Man in Texas killed trying to pick up kids from ex-wife
You don't even have to go so far as fighting/bullied conflict resolution in school. Just everyday things like kids organically getting together in a neighborhood to play a game are a relic of the past. At least I don't see it near to the level that I experienced growing up. Parent organized pay dates have all but eliminated this. Neighborhood games among a big group of kids was the place where most of my conflict resolution experiences took place.

Duke vs Gonzaga- 9:30pm, ESPN
Timme's struggles against size & athleticism will be a hurdle for him to get run in the NBA.

Man in Texas killed trying to pick up kids from ex-wife
Too bad that guy couldn't have been as calm prior to firing his gun. It's clear to me that he shot him out of anger and malice from being disrespected rather than any fear for his livelihood. But I'm sure others will argue the opposite.

Ex Cop and son kill unarmed black man jogging
As a layman I always understood the rationale for hate crime legislation to be of the same vein as that for terrorism laws. Now the prosecution of hate crime laws may not always meet this standard, but the history of racial crimes in this country have always served at least 2 purposes. The crime itself is self evident, but the secondary purpose of these crimes was to induce fear in targeted communities. Now perhaps an argument could be made that legislation to combat that secondary purpose is unnecessary in this day and age, but why would it apply for terrorism in one case, but not for racism/hate in another case?

Totally senseless killing.

Texas basketball '21-'22: Welcome Chris Beard
Rebounding you say?!?! While people focused on the design and lack of movement of Shaka's offense, the number one issue with Shaka's offense during Hamm's time on the 40 (outside of last season) was how atrocious we were on the offensive boards. What do you know he had the solution to his offensive woes riding the pine on his bench. You and me have talked about it before, but dominating the offensive boards is a tried and true way of increasing offensive efficiency. The Barnes' Longhorns routinely landed 20 to 30 spots higher in offensive efficiency metrics than you'd think solely as a result of dominating the offensive boards. I mentioned it before but I'd gladly exchange Hamm for Bishop on this squad. Hamm is much more lively and his frenetic (sometimes spastic) energy would be well suited for Beard on both ends of the court.

Cal Baptist Lancers @ Texas ($10 ticket link)-7:35p (CST)
Thinking over it Beard has had a decent amount of athleticism on his teams the past 4 years. Zhaire Smith Jarret Culver Tariq Owens Terrance Shannon Jahmi'us Ramsey Micah Peavy Mac McClung Even Kevin Mccullar is a big, physically imposing wing. Granted Beard's Tech team didn't have a bunch of front court athletes outside of Owens but they were plenty athletic on the wing. In all honesty this Texas team is probably the least athletic team he's had over the last 4 or 5 years. And given the athletes we've had in the front court over the past years the lack of athleticism on the front court is glaring. Of course it helps that these guys are actually good at basketball and hopefully the return of Disu will help remedy our lack of athleticism.

Chet Holmgren- Basketball's Next Unicorn?
IF you read any of the excerpts of the Giannis book his lack of weight entering the NBA was due to malnutrition so his relative size now is a totally different issue. When the Hawks' doctors looked at him they said his bone development was that of a 14 year old despite being 17 or 18 at the time. And a when a set of Greek doctors first looked at his liver function they thought they were looking at the lab results of an old man who was a raging alcoholic. Giannis' story is truly miraculous.

Charlie Strong never coached Lamar Jackson.

King Richard
Nor do they address the fact that Williams moved his family from Long Beach to Compton for the expressed purpose of forcing his girls to grow up in a tough environment because he believed that would give them a mental toughness advantage in tennis. Of course it would later prove ill-fated when the eldest girl Tunde was murdered in a shootout in the early 2000s.

Does anyone know of a good documentary or background info on Mayo? I've never even heard his name mentioned prior to this season.

One of the Coppell players is an Indian-American who is a top 130 player (he was top 100, but his ranking fell since the pandemic) in the nation. Probably the best shooter in the state and a Stanford commit. https://247sports.com/Player/Ryan-Agarwal-46102422/

Interesting that 21 year old Jalen Wilson's suspension was 3x as long as 58 year old Mark Few's.- Texas @ Gonzaga, 9:30 CT on ESPN2
Gonzaga may be "damn good", but we played horrible defense against them. It's understandable given how we're a completely new team, but the defensive chemistry has to improve tremendously if we hope to realize our potential.- NCAA Hoops 2021-22
My thoughts exactly. I was extremely impressed with him a couple years ago. I think Louisville rose to #1 or something around there and they got a recruit out of Rockwall, TX that I was hoping we'd get. He hasn't done much of anything there yet, but he was the long, skilled wing that our program has lacked for a long time. Of course flash forward a couple years, Beard gets here, and immediately gets those exact specs on not 1, but 2 wing recruits in back to back classes with Jaylon Tyson and Dilon Mitchell, so crisis averted.- NCAA Hoops 2021-22
Isn't this Chris Mack's 4th year at Louisville? I forget whether he's dealing with NCAA sanctions or anything, but this is surprising giving the promise he showed in his 2nd season there.- The official update thread for former Longhorns
Unless you're a top-2 level executive you don't make shit in an NBA front office. At least that was the case for the basketball side of the front office up until the mid 00s. I believe Amin made it up to VP of basketball Ops or somewhere below that tier. He tells a story about being elated to get a raise that brought him up to 50K.- The official update thread for former Longhorns
Lance also attempted to have a free agent PG workout for the team without getting him to sign waivers which is a baseline NBA protocol checkpoint in those types of circumstances.- The official update thread for former Longhorns
Forgot the podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/amin-elhassan-on-his-phoenix-suns-days-shaq-locker/id1109271715?i=1000507751314 Quote from the podcast purportedly said verbatim by Lance Blanks: "I'm the general manager. That means I manage things generally" Amin is a great storyteller and he basically describes Lance as the gm version of Michael Scott from the Office.- The official update thread for former Longhorns
Ive heard Amin talk about his experiences with Lance (without ever mentioning his name) on multiple podcast and the general gist is Lance was a lazy, middle management type whose only goal upon getting the GM gig was maintaining the GM gig. . He starts talking about it on the RInger NBA show with Raja Bell at 17:40 of this podcast. - Point and laugh at Shaka Smart
