  1. Got dammit, I hate all of y'all right now.
  2. Been super impressed with Chet's play. I think that year off helped his game, and it's obvious to me that he really, really spent a lot of time on the practice court, working on his shot, handle, mental approach, everything. Gotta admire and respect that. It's the foundation for greatness. Hope Wemby has the same ethic. Suspect he does; time will tell.
  3. Steam Winter Sale is back in effect. Today through 10 a.m. Pacific on Jan. 4.
  4. I think a proper vegan chili must include tears. They call that Tenorman chili in Colorado.
  5. I see her more as a grown-up Lindsay Lohan if Lindsay had stayed away from the drugs and booze and plastic surgery.
  6. Half a foot taller and a normal-width spine and he would've been a Hall of Famer. The athleticism, vision and skill set were there. And the way he worked in the gym, the 3-ball was coming.
  7. Refs definitely making their mark early.
  8. Would be thrilled if the league ended his career, either through direct, formal sanction or by GSW releasing him and no team picking him up. But the player's union would never allow it ... even though he's a menace to members of said union.
  9. Sensational athlete. Tenacious defender. A great Longhorn. And now, apparently, retired. Fuck, as if I needed another reason to feel old on my birfday. 🤣
  10. Love him or hate him (and I hope you loved him!), he was undeniably entertaining, and that's what the pro and college games are all about--entertainment.
  11. Thanks to the Sooner. (He's a Cowboy when he does well, and a Sooner when he fucks up.)
  12. I would also accept: publicly castrated.
  13. Whatchoo got against muffulettas? WHY CAN'T A MOFO GET FAT OFF MUFFULETTAS??!
  14. This race angle, whether true or not, isn't a good look. For you, the basketball forum, or Surly as a whole. Shaka's gone. We're all glad for it, and Texas hoops has definitely been better for it. And while it's great fun to point and laugh at his (inevitable) disappointments, the gossip you posted kind of crosses a line, in my view. Yes, this site is full of unsubstantiated rumors and second-hand accounts, but what you're alleging is especially incendiary. Maybe it's true, hopefully it's not. I just don't care. Shaka is a fantastic recruiter and distributor of empty motivational maxims. He's got bubkiss for a basketball mind, however, and any tactical acumen or fundamental prowess his teams exhibit is the result of his assistants. Isn't it enough to know that? Do we really need to add anything more to indict his abilities as a coach?
