  1. Dammit. Didn't see this coming. Had Codio, Jak, Amina and Maul as possibilities but not DeYona. We're not alone in this and we've got to expect it every year. The portal giveth and it taketh away.
  2. We had only 4 losses in the B12 this year. How hard is it going to be to replicate that in the SEC?
  3. Yep, it does. Lost her playing time to Moore, Gaston, and Jones but at least she came back for the tourney. You have to be pretty good for Vic to sign you up, but the talent level here is on the incline, so some of the young ladies have some tough decisions to make. Everyone wants to play, can't blame them.
  4. Holy crap. "Booker becomes the first freshman to win the award and the first UT player to win the award. " And we've probably got three more years of Madi's magic; stoked. 🤘
  5. If you are a famous public personality in the age of every jackass having a publicly visible voice, you will be criticized and probably threatened on some level. The more abrasive you are the more attacks you will receive. She is benefiting from her fame and suffering the consequences. Threats are never ok, but famous people need to expect and have a strategy to deal with it. It is coming. She certainly should express her emotional challenges and frustrations, no problem there. The issue I have is the context. It was the post-game interview in which the losing team typically says “we tried hard but failed to execute….give credit to the other assholes, they played well….we didn’t respond…. the refs fucked us….” whatever. And that’s it. It’s like “horns down”. Please do it all you want, just not in the good game handshake line. Angel’s maturity level had her change the subject entirely from the game and try to elicit sympathy for how hard it has been since “I” won the championship. She couldn’t own the loss, she tried to get everyone to feel sorry for her. Her road ahead will be hard if she doesn’t grow up quick.
  6. Now we go on portal watch. Who's leaving and who are our targets. Let the off season begin.
  7. Fuck I hate losing, hats off to NC State, they played great. Much better year than I expected after Rori went down. Add a quick scorer and next year will be ours. Thanks Ladies, Thanks coaching staff.
  8. That three killed our momentum, wide open look. Haven't played from behind much this year, need to get pissed.

  14. Maybe that is for the Naismith woman coach of the year. We were left for dead, and Vic got us to a one seed. That is superior coaching. WTF.
  15. That's some scary shit, but they have us beating the Utes and the Zags so I'm on board.
  16. Whether you like the outcome of the season or not, like all coaches, Coach Terry was responsible for the squad assembled.
  17. Coach Terry is not going away anytime soon. We’ll have a number of additional data points to assess his ability to lead Texas by the earliest time he could be dismissed. I think the vast majority of us are hoping for the best.
  18. Yeah, they would have matched us with A&M, but the aggies just stole the Nebraska AD, so both the A&M and Husker men and women teams will face each other in the first round for drama. That left Texas vs the Rickster for the story line for our game( If we both make it ), so they bumped us up to the 7. We're not a 7.
