  1. and from the department of “here we go again”, comes lebron being a ridiculous whiny baby about not getting a call on a play where no one touched him. ”call the fucking foul bitchass nigga!” https://www.instagram.com/p/C5UncLIx4f_/?igsh=MXdkamF0c21uNG43Yw==
  2. “so what do you think of tyrese hunter’s game?”
  3. from the department of comes:
  4. luton had scored a goal in 18 consecutive epl games coming into today. keeping a clean sheet with so much rotation was quietly awesome.
  5. this could have gone in the nasty pitch thread, but it feels more appropriate here.
  6. kim mulkey gets called an asshole because she’s an asshole. it has nothing to do with her being a woman. that is the beginning and end of this conversation.
  7. i posted right away that there was nothing he could do- including a texas national title win- that would make me think that he was good enough to be our permanent HC. several others agreed with me. you mean now that the season is over? because every single away game played after that incident was “Horns Down Night” at the opposing arena.
  8. you think these guys are on the same level as mulkey? how? oh and by the way, lots and lots of people call those guys assholes! listen, you guys are the ones who have made the sexism claim, and it is on you to back it up with something substantive. kim mulkey is not being treated any differently than a man, she’s being treated like she’s an asshole because she’s an asshole.
  9. ok, so then do what i said in the post you just quoted:
  10. i don’t know a single college basketball fan who doesn’t think that bob knight was a humongous piece of shit. edited to add: the top comment on that reddit thread you linked is an IU alum who says, “You could write it off as being a product of his time, but honestly he was an asshole even by those standards.”
  11. kim mulkey has been such a giant, gaping asshole for so long that you don’t have to ardently follow women’s hoops to have been made aware of her behavior for decades now. you’re only helping me make my point. name any male coach who you see as kim mulkey's equal behavior-wise who isn’t seen as an asshole. i can’t name one.
  12. i keep hearing the accusation that male coaches who behave like kim mulkey are praised for it, but i’ve yet to see any examples of it. asshole male coaches are also called out for being assholes. always have been. i’m sure it’s different in the corporate world, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. the two male coaches who most remind me of mullkey are bob knight and gregg marshall everyone thinks those guys are giant assholes.
  13. examples? i can’t think of a male asshole coach who isn’t seen as an asshole when he constantly behaves like one. in fact there are plenty of great coaches out there who people call scumbags and assholes when they aren’t nearly as bad as kim mulkey. coach cal, bill self, rick pitino, bruce pearl, jim boeheim, john chaney, bob knight, and on and on and on. people keep repeating what you’re saying as if it’s a fact, but i’ve been following this sport my entire life and i just don’t see it. an asshole is an asshole, male or female.
  14. dillon mitchell has been as good as i would have expected the no.300 player in his HS class to be. it’s been shocking to me how little of an impact he’s had. he’s a 10-12 mpg role player with a 5 star HS rating.
  15. you get so upset every time you respond to me, and then like 1 out of every 3 those times you end your own angry post with “rant incoming”. it’s never not funny seeing you rage at a simple differing opinion only to then project it onto the target of your own anger. i don’t think Texas was obligated to hire RT long term. you do. only one of us is repeatedly losing his mind over this disagreement. something to marinate on.
  16. the RT martyrdom posts are impossible to take seriously because we endured six years of shaka here, and people here *hated* his tactics, his style, his fake persona, his lack of tourney wins, etc, and people passionately wanted him fired for years. the things that people said and felt about shaka were a million times worse than anything that anyone has said or feels about RT. nobody is rooting for Texas to lose. nobody has even been particularly harsh on RT. every single argument that’s been made against him being our coach has been based on his career resume. the horns down shit was embarrassing as well. but as far as coaches in RT’s position (plenty of the fan base not having faith that he’s the answer) go i can say for a fact that he’s been treated more fairly and less harshly than any other coach in UT message board history. the idea that anyone is rooting against Texas so that we’ll dump RT is totally baseless. it’s a joke.
  17. it was also hilariously tone deaf when, in the middle of her “i’m such a victim” diatribe she talked about how she’s been sexualized. you don’t say… angel- you are a women’s college basketball player who is worth 7 figures because you have put yourself, and your attitude, and your body out there, unapologetically. you don’t get to cry victim when there’s a downside to the fake that you’ve actively sought.
  18. pat summit was the meanest, nastiest, most slave-driving coach ever and people revered her. she also kept her nastiness behind closed doors and wasn’t a total cunt out in public. i think it has more to do with how the coaches behave in public than it does with how much a hard ass they are.
  19. of course we could have. all we had to was weigh his 27 year career vs his half season with chris beard’s team, come to the only logical conclusion (he’s not the man for this job), and hire someone better. again, if we hadn’t hired RT then what would he be doing? he’d be at some MWC or CUSA school doing nothing of note. where would the outrage be coming from? lol ok you got it. if Nate Oats were the Texas HC and RT was going 18-13 at UNT then you’d still be in here bitching that we didn’t hire RT. feel better?
  20. CDC is the one who came out and set the standard: we should have top 10 programs across the board, and we should go after and hire only the best of the best. last i checked rodney terry didn’t save all of our players from a burning building and then personally nurse them back to health from his bed in the icu- he (barely) managed not to crash the auto-driving tesla. lest we forget that we entered the 2023 postseason with 100% of this board believing that RT was almost surely gone after our underwhelming regular season under him, and that penn state was 1-2 missed shots away from sending us packing in the round of 32. Texas Athletics is not a charity, it’s huge business. hiring Terry being “the right thing to do” is a)subjective, and b)really really low on the list of reasons to give someone a 5-year contract to be the HC at Texas. we’re supposed to be going after national titles, not “doing the right thing” by hiring a guy who we’d otherwise never even let interview for this job in a million years. if we had money whipped timmy lloyd, nate oats, or even tj otzelberger then Texas would be in the beginning stages of what is hopefully the most prosperous era in the history of Texas Basketball, while RT would be coaching an UT-Arlington or somewhere similar, doing his typical mediocre job, and absolutely nobody here, including you two, would be raging about how Texas failed to do the right thing.
