  1. 1-9 from three. I was close. He actually shot a worse percentage than I predicted.
  2. This. They are getting caught chasing and the rotations are too slow.
  3. If this team could hit a three tonight they would be running the wolves.
  4. Harper is so polished for a rookie. He plays like a five year vet.
  5. This is so wrong. The clown show is exactly why we tune in. No other sport gives you this kind of insanity, drama, stupidity, pettiness and shadenfreude.
  6. Dude, we’re without Wemby and Castle, Harper is on minutes restriction, and this is still a young team that is coming off its best win in a few years. I expect a bit of a letdown tbh. Vassell had the best game of his career in Denver so I expect his chucking to be at an all time high and go 2-14 from three. He’s probably going to put up a Valentines Day stat line tonight.
  7. Not just going to a rival, their biggest rival. And doing it in the middle of their best season ever. Ole Miss has their own version of battered Aggie syndrome and enough scars as a fan base already. This is going to leave a mark. With regard to Baton Rouge, it is a gigantic shit hole but the campus is nice. Oxford is like fucking Mayberry if it got invaded by a bunch of country club cokeheads. And it’s fucking impossible to get to. BR at least has a fucking airport. But being from Louisiana still has some sway with recruits even in this NIL era and it’s a hotbed for talent compared to Mississippi. Plus Death Valley is a home field advantage that Ole Miss could only dream about. And two of the biggest dumbasses to ever blow a whistle won national titles there. LSU, like it or not, has a much higher ceiling and infinitely better pedigree than Ole Miss could ever have. This business about poaching players and staff? Fuck him. Call his bluff. Promote the next HC from within. If he has the balls to go into that locker room and try to tear apart that team that has a legitimate shot in the playoffs those kids are going to look at him like he’s lost his mind. They’ve been busting their ass all year trying to get to this point with one goal and now they’re going to just bail at the most critical time? Good luck with that. They aren’t going to jump on board. They are going to revolt. Also biggest loser in all of this: Marty Smith sitting in Oxford with his thumb up his ass for two days just wait for some kind of announcement.
  8. I think we need Duke to win the ACC so we can finally get the best 12 teams in the country in a playoff.
  9. They for sure have a horseshoe up their ass.
  10. Typical auburn.
  11. It would be extremely Auburn of them to lose this game in the most excruciating way possible. Overcome a 17-0 hole, come back to take the lead, and then choke it away at the end.
  12. I can’t really feel too sorry for I them when the Spurs are missing Wemby and Castle plus Denver was at home and hadn’t played since Monday.
  13. This night just keeps getting better and better.
  14. This is why Fox got a max contract. He’s basically won this game single-handedly.
  15. He’s on fire. Fox is having a nice game as well. They don’t have have anybody who can stay in front of him.
  16. Harper has been upgraded to questionable for tonight. Good sign. He can't get back soon enough. Same with Wemby and Castle. They could really use a W tonight. Not very optimistic about the next two at Denver and at Minnesota. They need to get at least one W on this roadie and it's also a cup game.
  17. And the best part is that they will mount it onto a bloody mary. Well, at least they will mount a slider on a bloody mary. Sobelman's is insane. As a connoisseur of dive bars, I gotta say that Milwaukee per capita has more neighborhood joints than any other city I've ever been to and each one is better than the next. You can't swing a dead cat in West Allis without hitting a killer bar. I spent three nights there a couple of summer's ago, and my liver still hasn't recovered. Such a fun, cool, town.
  18. Oh man.... I haven't been to MK Davis in years. Frozen schooner game still appears to be on point.
  19. I did a downsized Thanksgiving on Sunday for my immediate family since we have to go to the in-laws ranch on Thursday and we all know their food will be ass. I gotta say, it might have been the best Thanksgiving meal I ever ate. I half-assed the presentation, but the turkey was on point. Busted out a new stuffing recipe that I found on the internet and it was pretty amazing. Also knocked out the obligatory sweet potatoes marshmallow bullshit and some mashed potatoes (no pics). I think I've finally perfected my cranberry sauce (also no pics). Zero fucking vegetables because I knew I would end up throwing 90% of it away. Plus carbs rule.
  20. After careful consideration… still hate Dillon Brooks. Spurs need to defend the three better. Tighten their shit up on defense.
  21. I’ve only been to one game in Moody but I endured some of the dullest and most lifeless basketball environments of my life in a half filled Erwin Center. Bob Weltlich, holla. And even when it was filled, it was still generally pretty sterile. Hell, I was at the strollin Nolan game which was off the charts as far as UT basketball environments go. I’ve been to hundreds of Spurs games going back to the Hemisfair arena. Yeah, you’re going to have some clunkers here and there when the team is down and it’s a 41 game home schedule but overall? You can miss me with Texas basketball ball game having a better environment than your average Spurs game and don’t get me started about the intensity of a Spurs playoff game.
  22. I can’t hate CP3 as much as I used to after his year in SA. His career was marred by never having great enough teammates and/or consistently getting injured at the worst possible time. But as far as point guards go, depending on whether you define Curry and Harden as point or shooting guards, he’s probably top 5 all time: Magic, Stockton, Kidd, Isiah and that nut punching whiny asshole Chris Paul. He’s also, as far as I can tell, the last of a dying breed of true table setting pass first point guards. You just don’t see guys play like him anymore, and it’s kind of a shame the way the game has evolved to eliminate that style of player. @ztejas point about him always making his teams better is a great one too. It’s pretty remarkable how he elevated every team he played for (notwithstanding that one weird year in GS). For a guy who never really won anything, he’s in a certain respect one of the great winning players in the game.
  23. @MNLonghornFUKM in case you missed this last night.
  24. Did they forget about Buzelis and Ajay Mitchell, too? I saw Risarcher live and in person last night and he looked like he'd never set foot on a basketball court before.
