  1. 31 points on 17 shots in 31 minutes seems pretty damned efficient. Crazy that anyone who started the season as a 19-year-old can be that skilled, that good.
  2. It's also worth mentioning that the soldier in that tweet appears to be in his 50s. There should be no joy or humor in watching clips like that. Dude had no business being on a battlefield but, most likely, was a conscript with no choice or rank. He's as much a victim as the people of Ukraine. I get that for Ukraine and peace to prevail, Russian deaths are necessary, but I don't understand how some can extract amusement or happiness from seeing their deaths knowing that many of those dying have no desire to be there.
  3. Blake Wesley punished that rim like Brad Wesley punishes the little town of Jasper.
  4. They must've accidentally hired a pitmaster who gives a damn.
  5. Is Draymond gonna have to choke a bitch?
  6. It's Shaka, so prospects of that weren't good, anyway. I keed, I keed.
  7. Won two games in a row for the first time in more than five weeks. Hopefully, our 'Horns can make it three in a row tomorrow night. Also: Fuck Baylor.
  8. Naw, Tony Brothers has it all figured out. HE'S the reason fans go to the games. HE'S the reason they buy season tickets. HE'S the reason we watch.
  9. I envy those hops. Dude just floats to the rim. I tan better, though.
  10. "Most talented 9 in the USMNT pool?" That's a bold claim, Gomez.
  11. Tastes like chicken, though.
  12. Who the fuck is "Usian?" Jesus, Bleacher Report. Are you even trying?
  13. Close game. Denver's down a point with about 4 minutes left. Haha just kidding, not really that close. And the thing is, he really doesn't have to make that many overt plays. Yes, there's a block, a steal, some key buckets and an assist, but there's also that intangible aspect--he makes everyone around him better. Boggles the mind.
  14. So 100m times don't really extrapolate that way. For example, Jamaal "only" ran a 4.36 in the 40 at the 2007 NFL combine, yet his 100m best, clocked the previous spring, was an eyewatering 10.13. Some guys get out of the blocks faster while others better maintain their top-end speed (or, more accurately, experience less speed decay), so it's difficult to predict what their career bests would be if they focused exclusively on the sprints at the expense of everything else. I don't doubt that Jamaal could've cracked 10 seconds at some point, and I wouldn't put that past Xavier, either.
  15. Still sticks in my craw that our 'Horns lost there ... and at home to UCF. Terrible results.
  16. What have we Surlians done to deserve this? It's the Internet Apocalypse!
  17. Holy shit. I knew Xavier was fast but that's FAST.
  18. Texas-Ex and St. Lucian international Julien Alfred took gold today at the Indoor Worlds 60m women's event.
  19. Disturbing ... yet hilarious.
  20. Also, credit to the entire team. Turnovers and rebounds decided today's game, especially with Okie Lite "earning" 21 trips to the foul line to Texas' 9. Our 'Horns had 8 giveaways to OSU's 15, and they pulled down 17 offensive rebounds to OSU's 8 despite shooting 6 percent better from the floor. Everybody hates on Shedrick and he's definitely a disappointment so far, but I think that back injury hampered him for most of conference play and he's just now starting to look and move more naturally. Horton infuriates me, especially on the defensive end, but I'll give him credit for his rebounding effort today. Anyway, relieved our 'Horns won. Here's hoping they at least beat OUsux at home and win the conference tourney opener.
  21. This is what we need from Brock. It's how he started the year and how he finished last season, but for whatever reason, his game went into a coma about the time conference play started. I don't blame RT for benching/limiting him, but Brock has shown signs of life lately and we can only pray that it continues. Today should be the prototypical Brock statline: 8 pts on 4 shots, 7 boards (4 on the offensive end), 2 assists, a steal and one turnover, plus the usual pesky tenaciousness on the defensive end. If he can continue producing that in 25-30 minutes, it will dramatically boost the team's chances to do some damage in the postseason.
  22. Horns have been pounding it inside to Disu all game. He has 13 shots, a third of Texas' total FG attempts. Yet just one free throw for Disu and six total for Texas. Okie Lite, meanwhile, is about to try its 16th. Sure, some Texas players could be more aggressive getting to the basket, but those who do, often aren't rewarded. What other team in the league gets fucked on its home court like this?
  23. Sweater gawd, college refs just make shit up and see what they want to see.
