Texas vs. baylor - 8pm on ESPN
I don’t know about being less physically gifted Tech and Kansas. Tech just plays harder than anyone else I’ve seen this year and KU is SOFT. Baylor is definitely better though…

ISU fans plan their vacations around going to KC for this. It’s the darndest thing. They will win that damn thing at Hilton South, then lose immediately most years in the NCAA Tournament. Rinse and repeat in years when ISU is good.

It’s so sad to see GIA in Stillwater with about half the capacity of when they were great…

Man, your guys look like they ran as hard as you can right into a brick wall. Big XII play is so tough...

Kansas V. Texas - Game Thread
Kansas is SOFT in the paint...McCormack and Lightfoot are not that good. Their strength comes from their perimeter guys also being able to rebound and run out. They score a lot because of those backcourt guys being able to pass, drive and shoot well. I'd give them all the shots int he paint they wanted if it means they don't make jumpers. Their bigs will turn it over a lot if you can bait them into pounding it down to them. I think the Horns win this one, rather easily, too. I see a 10+ point victory.

I like Tech and ISU tonight, straight up. I still think Tech is the best team I've seen in the Big XII this year.

Nice win tonight on the road. Looks good on the resume.

Point and laugh at Shaka Smart
It’s just amazing to think of how Smart was the darling of coaching before he leaves VCU and immediately forgets everything he built that reputation on when he gets to Austin. Then, after finally showing some modicum of success here, he immediately shits the bed against ACU and leaves before he gets fired, only to find a pretty decent landing spot and he immediately starts looking like the great young coach everyone said he was at VCU. So freaking frustrating.

Point and laugh at Shaka Smart
I just can’t understand how he could suck so bad here for so long and then go to Marquette and start winning right away.

I mean, seriously, when you have one of the biggest home court advantages, this is what happens. Ask ACC fans who play at Duke. Same as playing UK at Rupp or Syracuse at the Carrier Dome when its packed. I just think that complaining about refs is just a bad look. I mean we have heard forever how games called at DKR (or anywhere else for that matter) are all skewed towards Texas getting the big calls. Everyone has proof of missed calls and cry about them. To me, if it becomes egregious, I couldn't imagine being in a conference that would allow that to happen over and over. I'd leave in a heartbeat or make the commissioner know this is so blatant that it gets fixed or we, the college, does something about it. But that's the rub---we all like the money and prestige of getting a game against whatever blueblood it is that "gets all the calls". I've heard it so much over the years regarding the Horns that it just rubs me the wrong way.

KU may have found their answer to their inside softness with that kid…he’s way better than those two stiffs they have been playing. Tech’s inside size and skill just made Self go to KJ and he was the spark they needed.

Tech toughness showing up this half. That defense is legit.

2021-22 Big XII Basketball Thread of Fuck Baylor
I think every fanbase complains about whistles going against them. KU is spoiled because of the advantage the Phog gives them, but Ames, Morgantown, Lubbock, and places like Stillwater and Manhattan when their teams are good, all provide great home courts, too. I suspect that complaining about refs' calls is the fan's coping mechanism for getting beat. I know that Baylor fans complain about refs calls a lot on Baylorfans just as we do here on surly. Hell, Baylor fans complain about law enforcement getting involved in actual rapes and murders...

I like Tech in this one if the bigs for KU are rendered useless like they were in the Hub City. I think the reality is that Tech is just tougher. Now, playing at AFH is ridiculously hard because of the crowd affecting the game and the refs. But I think Tech is just better than them.

Dallas Cowboys 2021 Regular Season Thread -- Money, Masks, & Masochism
In the first 30 years of the NFL/NFC championship game, Dallas played in that game 16 times, winning 8 of them, leading to 5 Super Bowl titles. Since 1996, nada. Only Detroit and Washington in the NFC haven’t played in the Championship game since Dallas last played. It’s the company we keep…and I doubt that changes this season.

Kansas is SOFT…no big guys, poor point guard play, and their forwards are prone to lots of misses. And they can’t guard anyone with decent size or skill. This Big XII race will be between Baylor, Tech, an Texas.

Texas is Hopeless….
This. Texas HS let Mike Leach’s crazy-ass system become the norm now. So this state produces shit for linemen and linebackers. Now, with the right coaching, maybe you can build those kids into something…but in the Big 12, all these schools do is focus on outscoring each other. There’s a reason a national champion hasn’t come from Texas/Oklahoma since 2005. By 2010, all that we were getting from TX HS football was 7-on-7 talent. That doesn’t match up real well with SEC speed and size…
