  1. one of terry’s firmer UT assistant buddies (rob lanier) has SMU at no.44 in his second year as HC (Texas is only 8 spots ahead at no.36) and his team actually has an identifiable ethos and play style. so that feels good to know.
  2. yep, that’s my spot. i used to live like three minutes away from that one. those were the halcyon days.
  3. how was your trip (aside from the ass kicking)? we lost in OT when i went, but we still had a blast. something unique about the Phog is that it has ~the same number of seats as the FEC, no upper deck, and no AC. the sun was shining and the weather was beautiful when we walked in. it got hotter than shit while we were in there with the lack of AC and the giant windows just blasting you with sun. then when we left after the senior day festivities it was like 40 degrees and 35 mph winds. defintely a unique game day experience.
  4. there was talk last year about implementing a trade deadline somewhere around the first week after the All-Star break. Are we abiding by that rule this year?
  5. if we go 1-3 the rest of the way then we will likely have to win a conference tourney game to feel safe.
  6. you watch this video, you say, “wow, seems like jorginho needs to start in most big games.” next game we start him and we bag four more PL goals and jorginho is MOTM. as much as the internet/social media depresses me, youtube might be my the one saving grace.
  7. it do be that way. one of my best friends loves raigosa. but that’s the thing- riagosa has “his guys”, and if you’re one of his guys then life is awesome. if you aren’t, he’ll go out of his way to fuck with you and make practice/life miserable for you. he actually put his hands on me and another teammate, and my teammate swung on raigosa and nearly knocked him out. 👀 he was real unprofessional like that. now murphy could be very “bottom line” and business like, but he didn’t have such an extreme view of his players like raigosa. that’s not to say that he didn’t also have “his guys”. we had several guys who should have had big roles on the team who essentially never played because they weren’t one of Murph’s guys. but thats pville athletics in a nutshell for you.
  8. i live in pflugerville (breaking news!!! lol) and it feels like the nearest shortstop is in SA lol. i have a buddy who ended up starting his own business in transportation, but i begged him to take the money he used for that and instead use it to build a SS in pflugerville lol. shortstop slams and goes hard on a whole different level.
  9. i had short stop 90 minutes ago. my favorite fast food place in town. shit slams.
  10. i did not think that was anywhere near a HR off the bat. wow. in other news, i may be watching a replay.
  11. kimble seems like he can hit a little bit.
  12. i’ve wondered the same thing about RT seemingly forgetting everything that his former HC’s were all about. it’s quite strange and hard to explain. wanna feel even worse about it? Rob Lanier currently has SMU eight spots behind us in kenpom, where his team stats and rankings show that he did not forget the fundamental tenets of his mentor’s philosophies: smu is 6th in country in offensive rebounding, they’ve got green all up and down the defensive column, i mean they even suck at FTs! that’s a Barnes disciple if i’ve ever seen one. and one who may actually be a better HC than the guy we’ve currently got. 😡
  13. do we have everyone accounted for? shoot me the entire list once we do, please and thank you.
  14. huge difference: we actually wanted shaka and barnes to be our HC in the first place.
  15. when i was in HS stony point was alright, but pflugerville and mcneil were the big powers in centex, really the only two schools that were regularly state ranked. i know that since then westlake has become the best program in the area, but it sounds like stony point has a really good program now too? anybody else from centex making any noise?
  16. jay wright was at hofstra when we replaced penders.
  17. that’s a really great video for coach barnes. so many legends wishing him well and congratulations. awesome stuff.
  18. yeah, we better get this shit sorted out.
