  1. 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.
  2. Nice win tonight on the road. Looks good on the resume.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Tech toughness showing up this half. That defense is legit.
  8. 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...
  9. 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.
  10. Great game tonight in Lawrence with Tech visiting AFH. Man, this league is just awesome to watch...
  11. Marquette pulls off the win at Nova on a late three…
  12. And, just like that, damn Kansas is back at the top…
  13. 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.
  14. 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.

    Bring back Herman

    Yes—he won’t get athletes from TX HS to be anything special and he’ll just be a gif yelling loudly at kids…

    Muschump sucks…
  17. 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…
  18. Why did Texas Tech ever let Mike Leach get away??
  19. True, but Nubs was AAU when they entered the B1G...they weren't gonna kick them out because of that, but its probably easy to offset Nubs with University of Chicago and their AAU and B1G agreement. Still think KU will be in the B1G when its all said and done--the AAU thing is huge to the B1G since they get most of their money from research funding. They can get KU very easily and they add in a nice TV market, to boot. Maybe ISU can get in, too, but the rest look like they are gonna have to hope the Pac-12 somehow wants Tech/OSU/KSU/ and ISU or TCU. Baylor is completely effed, which is poetic, TCU probably is done, too. TBH, they rest of these schools not named KU are probably going to completely disappointed, too. KU and ISU may also, but they have a lot more to offer the B1G, PAC or ACC than anyone else.
  20. And some of the coaches you listed didn’t have to win 6 games in a row to get their title, either. The tournament is a fickle bitch—she can put out and she can be ice cold...
  21. KU fits that description as well. Look, this conference will never get love in anything if f’ing Baylor carries the water. It didn’t when they won in football and it won’t in men’s basketball. Nobody cares about women’s basketball except them.
