  1. You've literally made the same post for 6 or 7 years now. The only new take is your Shaka hates white people, which you decided you unveil this year. Im in high anticipation of what new material you'll grace us with next year.
  2. You've said his name before. I'll let someone else go search for it, but I had no way of knowing who it was other than YOU saying it.
  3. You've said his name repeatedly before. Do you even keep up with all of your "Shaka is evil" takes?
  4. I guess Brock Cunningham, Dylan Osetkowski, Will Baker = one white guy. Not to mention the guys who turned him down. It's interesting to see the vulnerabilities and fragility that comes into play when some white people deal with a black person in authority. Suddenly the paranoia about said black person's actions relative to race come under close scrutiny. It's probably akin to the same sort of psychological mechanism that causes some white people to comment repeatedly and take notice when they're the only white person in a room.
  5. "Oh no, people don't realize Shaka is the devil. Well I've got news for them. He plays mental games with is players, and he told reporters Demarcus Hollands grandmother died and he hates white people. That should do it. Now they'll know what type of devil we were dealing with."
  6. In my eyes this sort of thinking is wrong headed. Part of the problem is college football is trying to serve 2 masters at once. On one hand they want to hold on to all the collegial and amateurism of yester year while simultaneously attempting to make every single dollar available to them under the sun. You simply cant do both without causing issues in the sport. If you want to limit player movement you're going to have to put them under contracts and make them employees. You can't restrict player movement without having contracts. The NCAA has lost every case recently where this issue was in contention. Another problem with college football is they need to get away from the decentralized organizing forces of the sport. It needs to be governed under a single set of rules and have someone, or some committee looking out for a the greater good of the sport as whole as opposed to conference entities working as competitors sabotaging each other at every turn in an effort to gain more power. You simply can't reap billions of dollars on one end and then on the other end pretend this isn't a big business and the players aren't due any of that largess. That sort of cognitive dissonance doesn't work anymore.
  7. Oh he definitely did, but his early foul trouble really exacerbated things for him. Honestly we should've been a team he matched up well against. We're not overly athletic in the frontcourt outside of Mitchel, so he shouldve been able to stay on the court. He's a player who needs tremendous guard play to bring out the best him, something LSU has none of.
  8. Not only should Weaver get Horton's minutes, but if Horton is out there then Weaver has to be out there as well.
  9. The problem is who we play Horton alongside of. We cant have him, Abmas, and Hunter on the court at the same time. That just makes your backcourt absolutely atrocious defensively. Hunter isn't a bad defender, but often times when playing alongside Abmas and Horton he's guarding the biggest wing and that diminishes his defensive strengths.
  10. He has to force in the letters S-E-C into every utterance out of his mouth. I didn't realize ESPN's brand management work for the SEC extended into other sports outside of football.
  11. Wow, just now seeing this.... This is pretty low even for you. Every year you come out with some new trumped up reason to justify your hate for Smart, all while simultaneously claiming you don't hate him. I wonder what next year's new Shaka Smart anecdote will be.
  12. Sims fouled out. The choice was between Banks, Hamm, and of course Eric Davis.
  13. So much of this. That vaunted SEC gauntlet has always been bullshit, especially when you consider they've always played only 8 games. Half of the teams went 6 or 7 or years without playing each other. I'm not sure how one can even refer to them as conference mates when they play each other so infrequently. How many years has Georgia gone without playing Bama or A&M? If anything, the schedule for SEC East teams will actually begin to approach the difficulty they've spent the last 15 years crowing about now that OU joined them alongside of us.
  14. Reading defenses wasn't MM's issue. Consistent accuracy and composure when under duress was the issue.
  15. This little note just earned the article a read from me. I'm sick and tired of the low hanging fruit that gets grabbed anytime LHN is discussed and the fact that A&M and prior to that Nebraska was offered a Big 12 conference network which both of them turned down. I forget the name of the conference commish who was especially focused on starting a conference network and eventually left for the Big 10 to start their network once our Big 12 compatriots turned him down. This never gets mentioned when realignment talk gets going and it predictably devolves into how we are the catalysts for all that is bad in college football. I believe he tried to get the ball going early in the conference's formation. Just think about a world where the conference has it's own network in the late 90s and early 00s. Back when the Big 12 south was thought to be formidable. This was before ESPN started their brand management work for the SEC, maybe the Big 12s success during that time would've ignited something and allowed Nebraska, Colorado, and even Kansas St to further develop and maintain some prominence.
  16. Mitchell's improved play to begin the season gives RT and company a template for developing athletes like him and showing prospective recruits that they can improve their stock by staying an extra year.
  17. I disagree, but I understand why you might feel that way. We're playing way faster to start this season than we did last year so it seems more erratic,. Through 5 games we have 87 assists total on 58% of our field goals compared with 77 assists through 5 games last season. It would be nice if I could find a stat database that tracks passes per game and player movement like NBA.com does because I bet our rate of passes/gm is a little less this season due to our pace of play and time of possession numbers being less than what it was last year, but I've noticed our sets are much more spread out than what we had over the past 2 years with Beard. Last season, especially when Beard was here, most of our movement was below the free throw line (this was done to exploit Carr and Tiimmy Allen's midrange game). This year our movement is spread out as far as the 28' line). Man if we can get DIsu playing anywhere near the level he ended last season this team is going to score a shit ton of points.
  18. I really enjoyed the minutes Weaver gave us tonight. He was out on the floor pretty much every time we made a run. He needs to be mixed in more so that we can reduce the minutes where all 3 of Abmas, Hunter, and Horton are on the floor together.
  19. It's Kietkowski. Another DC in love with his calls over the athletes he recruits. Bring in top flight athletes and neuter them for 4 years only for them to go to the league and be deprogrammed.
  20. This is fucking stupid. We essentially give QBs layups with this outside leverage by our dbs. We need a DC who is used to utilizing his athletes in coverage.
  21. I'll never understand why our dbs play with so much outside leverage. What's the point of recruiting athletes on the outside if you're going to completely neuter them with your coverage calls? Not to mention allowing every QB we face to get into a rhythm completing easy passes in front of their face.
  22. Our defensive behemoths can't get a holding call for shit yet our oline gets called for holding seemingly 5 times a game.
