  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. Sweater gawd, college refs just make shit up and see what they want to see.
  4. Fucking Weaver, man. How many more years do we likely have his services?
  5. Yeah, I don't get the controversy there. Puli was playing to the whistle. Seems like Lazio players should be mad at Pellegrini, not Puli.
  6. You mean it wasn't already?
  7. Did those taste as good as they look? What a lovely bowl o' grits!
  8. LoL @ this thread. I think Richard Lewis would approve.
  9. Love this nascent Holmgren-Wemby rivalry. Do I think Chet is as good as Victor? No, but I still think he's a force on both ends of the court and an important cog in the machine that SGA is running. Wemby continues to amaze. As good as most of us expected him to be, it's safe to say he's exceeded those expectations. As Emmitt Smith would observe, however, he's a diamond surrounded by trash. I desperately hope the Spurs don't fuck this up cuz Wemby deserves what's coming ...
  10. I'm in the SLX camp. Have some genuine concerns about the team's focus and consistency this season, and Terry as a viable head coach, but I would be thrilled to be proven wrong and I will never root against the 'Horns or these players. And objectively, this team is so Jekyll-and-Hyde that I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow finish 0-for-4 (including the first round of the conference tourney) and miss the NCAAs, or reach the second weekend. There's enough talent there. It's simply a matter of it clicking at the right time and the matchups working in our favor. I will be very gruntled if the latter happens.
  11. "Dilbert" would be a better handle, imo. All he needs is the necktie.
  12. When it comes to cheap food products, I suspect the customer will tolerate "dynamic pricing" downward (e.g., happy hour) much, much more than they will tolerate it upward (order at lunchtime, pay an extra $3!) That reminds me, though....the campus egg roll carts had "dynamic pricing" before it was cool. If I had a class that ended around 4:00, I'd walk by one of the carts on the way home and ask "what do you have left, and how much for all of it?" I often got something like 2 orders of indian bread, 4 eggrolls, and whatever hell else they had for $5 or so. I could even haggle. "That doesn't sound that great. I'll give you $3 for it all." "Happy Hour" and other previously established dynamic pricing models are also transparent, in that, the regular prices, discounts, and dates and times for those discounts tend to be listed in menus or other signage. Wendy's "dynamic pricing" implies that the listed amounts will simply change on the fly and be reflected on the digital menus. In other words, you could drive through at 12 p.m. and see a Dave's Double listed for $10, then drive through again at 3 p.m. and see the same sandwich priced at $6.50 without having the slightest idea why. In my opinion, the former is perfectly acceptable because the customer is allowed to make an informed choice, whereas the latter is devious and exploitative and should be shunned.
  13. They've put up with Juwan Howard and his bullshit; they would definitely take a look at Beard.
  14. Definitely. One hundred and sixty-five pounds is practically tiny in this era of college football, yet Worthy would repeatedly fight through or bounce off guys for extra yards. Salty MFer.
  15. At first glance I was like, what is Bob doing with a chainsaw? And why is he in Ukraine?
  16. More importantly, he shouldn't be a law enforcement officer dealing with the public. Lacks the composure, temperament or personality to effectively perform his duties. If any of us acted that way while on the job, we may or may not get charged with a crime. But we'd all but certainly lose that job.
