  1. wtf is wrong with the kids. did the pandemic really give everyone autism? this might be the most concise and informative video ever, but i wouldn’t know, because i could only make it about 10 seconds before turning it off. seriously, who makes a video on this type of subject matter, a video that’s supposedly both informative and important, and decides that the best way to get their message across is to preach at their audience while clacking away at a mouse and staring at a computer screen while playing video games? i cannot believe that this is the generation that’s going to be tasked with fixing this shit.
  2. miller got three years at xavier and didn’t build anything. 16-18 in year two, then a very “meh” 22-12 (13-7) year three in a much weaker league than the sec. he wasn’t on any sort of upward trajectory when we decided to make him our HC. we’ve got several years worth of data to look at that says that next year isn’t going to be a great year either, barring miller bringing in the type of transfer class that this AD doesn’t want to spend the money on.
  3. it’s hard to reserve judgment on the future when the building blocks of said future are so underwhelming and/or nonexistent. here are the current players who might return next season: and of course we also have our three sg commits, guys who are developmental pieces. you add the two together and that is just not a good roster, there’s no two ways about it. Miller will have to pull in one helluva transfer class to paper over those cracks in year two, which seems unlikely considering that spending money on his program is clearly not a priority for the AD or the BMD’s. you also say miller “has a history of player development”, but i don’t see it. you mentioned tj mcconnell, but that was a decade ago. who else has he developed since then? he hasn’t been sending guys to league, since, what, mathurin? who was only with him for one year. nico mannion was the no.1 pg and a top 5-7 national player coming out of HS and he shot 39% from the field in his one season at arizona and has never been heard from since. i’m struggling to name anyone else who miller has developed in the last decade or so. it’s not a long or prestigious list.
  4. that’s wild. thought they’d be together for the duration.
  5. man, derka really derailed this thread.
  6. clearly. imagine wandering into the basketball forum just to start a fight with derka and thinking that makes you anything but a retarded asshole.
  7. also speaking of things “that everybody already knows”, this lore about who i am and why i post and the attention that i seek has been outdated for such long time. the people who post where i post (ie the people who post in this forum) see me making thousands upon thousands of regular ass posts about basketball, baseball, or arsenal day after day, without starting any shit or seeking any attention, or trying to provoke a reaction out of anyone. i’m just here every single day doing my normal thing with the same group of people, for years now. it’s really pretty boring 99% of the time. and then someone like ctj, a guy who i cross paths with maybe three times per year on this site, comes in here, where i am every day, to type out 1,000 words about how i really really need you guys’s attention right now so i’m gonna get it by (checks notes) making a topical post in the appropriate forum. yeah. that makes sense. that tracks. thanks for stopping by, and never come back again, please and thank you.
  8. i’m literally just starting the ubiquitous “criticize the coach” thread, but it’s cute that you think so deeply about me and my motivations for posting about the HC of Texas Basketball here in the Texas Basketball forum.
  9. here’s my question, one that i’ve had for decades now, that still has no answer: why is it a federal crime to post judgment and negativity? why do so many of you react this way every single time someone is critical of shaka smart, sam ehlinger, quinn ewers, jarrett allen, rodney terry, ted lasso, game of thrones, rick & morty, and on and on and on? you can post a million supportive words that say “this coach/player/tv show is the best!!!” and nobody has a problem with it, but as soon as you’re like, “yeah this guy isn’t good enough”, or, “this tv show isn’t as good as it used to be” everyone is all ThEn wHy ArE yOu EvEn pOsTiNg AbOuT It??!?!?? it’s so stupid. and it’s antithetical to the entire purpose of shaggy. pancho, you were like the third member of shaggy and you’re in here making this weak ass argument? “if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t post at all”? why are y’all like this? especially you? it’s so obviously stupid and backwards, and yet it never fails. NCAA: NO CRITICISM AT ALL. foh
  10. do you want one dedicated thread for this or do you want all of the posts about sean miller not being the right coach for Texas to continue to permeate every other thread?
  11. seriously, i mean saka >>>>>> palmer. so what is it? is it just because he’s english and white? why does this guy constantly get included in stuff like this?
