  1. He plays standing straight up. Takes all athleticism out of his game. Looks like a tree.
  2. I actually don't agree with allowing the genetic male to compete in this realm but my point is that we have a traditional separation in our culture for sports competition based on a relatively objective mark (biological gender). The transgender community wants to move that point of division. I'm playing devil's advocate in pointing out that there are inherent and significant advantages in having athletic parents with morphology that lends to their progeny to excel in certain sports. Should I claim it's unfair that I am not 6'10" and run a 4.5 40 and demand that 6"10" people shouldn't compete against me in basketball or football? Our society is rapidly accepting postmodern truth and gender for many has become fluid.
  3. That would be a slippery upslope. But it hasn’t been a problem in a hundred years of modern sports. Some people win the genetic lottery and as a society we value (way too much) an individual’s ability to hit, throw and run for entertainment. Basketball is a good example. 99.999 percent of men under 6’0” aren’t making it into the NBA mo matter how good they are at dribbling or passing.
  4. How on earth does any AD look at Shaka’s body of work and think this will be a great hire? I’m going to a used book store, picking up a copy of this and sending it to the Marquette athletic department. I wouldn’t usually disparage someone who seemed like a likable person but the man got paid millions and millions of dollars to recruit elite talent and completely waste it in Austin.

    NIT 2022

    Texags - “See, I told you we were a sweet 16 team!”
  6. It won't matter because of the impending nookyuhluhr winter. Thread out front with the funky hyroglyphics title about Ukraine should have told you.
  7. We can but muddying up the geopolitical landscape wouldn’t be an unrealistic goal for a rogue group or nation.
  8. Someone trying to distract us from Ukraine?
  9. Maybe he’s Mormon??
  10. You guys are dog whistling to the CR and they’re already here with their hot takes.
  11. A huge problem overall but especially for his generation. He may literally save lives with his candor.
  12. Are you sure it’s not Mr. Hankey and your son is getting the blame?
  13. You know there’s a beat down when the commentators talk about everything but the game.
  14. With energy prices going up, you’re going to have to be more creative. Unless you’re on solar.
  15. Get on the hyperbole train man. It was completely the best way to get through Covid. Except for the paths of destruction it caused on both sides of the issue.
  16. 6 and have to be completely worried about 1st round exit if bad matchup with an opposing team with decent bigs or athletic PG.
  17. Obviously we shouldn’t trash individuals for lack of talent because this team plays with heart but making the same fundamental mistakes all season is disappointing. When the team actually runs Beard’s system with their heads up then good things happen.
  18. I forgot we are supposed to be excited about a twenty point collapse.
  19. We have no inside presence. Live and die by the three ball and cutting to the basket. No guards or bigs that can finish at the rim.
  20. I don’t understand Bishop at all.
  21. I’ve seen better offensive movement in pickup games at the Y. Is Shaka back?
