  1. i never wanted him hired, but once he was the hire i was always going to give him an opportunity to show that i was wrong. we aren’t even two months into his first season and he’s already losing what little faith i chose to put in him. this roster is a terrible mix of a)no pg, b)no shooters, and c)frankly lesser talented players. our defense is the worst it’s been since tom penders. our recruiting class is three guys who all play the same position and who won’t be impact players for another two years. and fan interest seems to be at an all time low. it’s been a pretty spectacular string of failures to start his career at Texas, and the future doesn’t look any better. i wanted to be proven wrong, but i’m already losing what little faith i wanted to have in him.
  2. african teams should all threaten to pull out of the world cup.
  3. he didn’t break any rules or do anything wrong; he just got sick and they didn’t feel like taking care of him.
  4. here’s the georgetown team that shaka just lost to at home:

  6. true that. hurley is a nightmare.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. that’s wild. thought they’d be together for the duration.
  11. man, derka really derailed this thread.
