  1. I would gladly sign up for some sort of brain procedure that would delete my impulse to hit the lateral button when I want to juke.
  2. that was a really cool angle on the sideline during Mitchell's game sealing catch against TCU (3 min mark).

    Twisters

    How are they going to make a movie about tornados, set it in Oklahoma, and not expect me to root for the tornados?
  4. we'll always have your 2022 Texas high school football state championship picks. #neverforget
  5. my condolences to South Texas.
  6. I'm glad they are shining a spotlight on these folks. Sam is fantastic. Travis Vlantes and his staff is a major reason why Texas is so successful across all sports.
  7. just to piggyback on this a bit - being an effective recruiter obviously has many facets. To the extent that one of those facets is the relational/personality piece, Baker is very well equipped. Maybe not quite Tashard Choice level energy/charisma, but he will be very effective at that aspect of recruiting.
  8. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32818403/dallas-mavericks-luka-doncic-admits-having-issue-weight-conditioning - 2021 https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/style/nba-star-luka-doncic-changing-170000062.html - 2022 https://www.si.com/nba/mavericks/news/luka-doncic-slovenia-trainer-dallas-mavs-star-next-step-in-shape-usa - 2023 As someone who loves seeing the game played at the highest level, I'd love to watch an in shape Doncic do his thing. I hope for the best but am definitely skeptical.
  9. I still can't believe the winning chef in a semi-final served a totally inedible mousse. That was the kind of dish that gets you sent home 4 episodes in. It wasn't even a particularly difficult challenge! I know it has been beaten to death, but yikes the talent level is low this season. There isn't a single chef remaining who would make the top 6-8 of a halfway decent season.
  10. it takes an impressive amount of cognitive dissonance to say Doncic's defense has been only mediocre at times when, a few posts earlier, there is a graphic showing the three highest blow by percentages in a playoff series in the last 10 years were Doncic this postseason. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/luka-doncics-defense-hits-shameful-levels-with-mavericks-on-brink-of-being-swept-by-celtics/
  11. Just an FYI - not exactly sports psychologists, but there is mental health support in the Department.
  12. "Do I have access to $500? I absolutely do, I'm a 43 year old man."
  13. that strike call was brutal - not even close on its own merit, let alone with the way the zone has been called all game.
  14. any thoughts on Jamie Vinson?
  15. not looking good - 13 strokes off the cut line in 14th place (out of 15) - about a third of the way through the round.
  16. Johntay Cook caused a minor stir during his recruitment when he visited Texas and said something along the lines of seeing lots of swimming trophies but not a lot of football trophies. I don't think he intended it to turn into a thing, but it did, with lots of giddy shots taken at Texas by opposing fanbases. The video in the post was a visit he took to A&M shortly after - he was mindful of his previous comments and this was his way of spreading out the mockery. He knew he was going to be asked about what he thought of A&M's trophy room and pointed out the lack of trophies (this is why he said he wasn't going to have a double standard). Much ado about nothing, ultimately. Given the context it isn't the best way of making fun of A&M the way the twitter user seems to think it is, but c'est la vie.
  17. FWIW, Catalon was a bust more due to being mentally broken than anything actively physical. Let's hope the same is not true for Lole.
  18. I think it is more likely that Oldacre is the replacement for Boutilier as developmental big.
  19. I agree - I love this place for what it is - but Surly is also prone to groupthink and runaway narratives. All in all I'd rather exist in a place like Surly than Bobby's ultra sanitized board, but he does have a point. The big idea, as expressed above, is that the two places can (and should) be viewed as complementary.
  20. after the Oklahoma St. game, FWIW.
