  1. I don’t think so. It had Hookem or horns or something like that in the title - it was Texas only and probably had probably less than 50 active posters. It was around the time she died, shaggy did not exist until 2008? It predated then.
  2. Maybe one poster posted the attack that caused it but I distinctly remember the very site being founded on a “we are smart, you are dumb, so dumb” mentality and the most popular thread that had numerous participants was quoting hornfans posters and making fun of them. I remember because I railed on them for it on hornfans.
  3. I salute you Shadow Operative! May your ill fortune on surly be met with the surprise of a beautiful life!
  4. it was a group of posters on a start up obscure message board that was more focused on keeping people out than growing a base. there was no single one poster that bullied, the culture of that board was to point at posters on hornfans and laugh. she got caught up in it and it went awful. several months or years later shaggy was born. very early on, the idea of telling someone to kill themselves was treated as a bannable offense.
  5. it was not on longhornfanzone.com it was on a short lived very few members message board that I don't remember the name of. back then it was broadly accepted that online bullying was a part of it. granted anyone who does do that probably has other issues too, but it's the combination we all have to worry about.
  6. I meant, Helobious, but thought his name was spelled Heblious. shows how much i pay attention.
  7. first they challenged rocko to a paystub fight, then they came after derka then they laughed at heb. shits about to get real.
  8. I suspect that was the primary game plan for UConn. Let edey score 25+ shut everyone else down.
  9. They’ve doubled edey 2/3 last 3 possessions and still getting bad looks.
  10. They are up by 11 letting edey go one on one. Edey gets his - sorta - and UConn is pulling away. Edey hasn’t dominated since the 8 min mark left in the first half. So far the UConn plan is working great. No need to double team him at all.
  11. ^^^ your quote of mine. we’d still take him in a NY minute. The guy is young and possibly the best coach in basketball rn. UConn is looking at a serious dynasty run. We’d take him and high five him for talking shit. He’s no Herman. He’s top of the game.
  12. Yeah I mean I like you but that’s not a good take on your part. We’d take him in a heart beat.
  13. As Hurley said pace favors conn. It’ll be close the whole way I think but if Purdue wins it’s super tight, UConn could win tight or by 8-10. They are so well coached geez.
  14. Edey had an incredible first 10-12 minutes and Hurley says gotta disrupt that, they do, up by 6. This UConn team is just incredible.
  15. If so then ok. Thought he mouthed off at edey too. Unlike some here I like the guy he’s clearly one of the best, wish he was ours.
  16. Hurley should leave the mouthiness for chatting up the refs. Bad look talking shit to a 22 year old.
  17. That’s a bit much. He’s not new era big guy but he’s pretty fucking good. And I hate Purdue so don’t take that the wrong way.
  18. Edey balling hard / conn still up by 3 / o_O
  19. Coming back to this. That was really amazing. I wish we had made a day of it. I’ve got some spectacular champagne we shoulda opened. I don’t want to say it was life changing but it was meaningful and the more time passes the more meaningful it was. Makes me feel small, in a comforting kinda way. Five stars, would visit again.
  20. We were having a brief convo about how basketball has changed, this video right here. We learned the pick and roll and on and off ball screens but ghost screens, slips, etc that’s all newer. It’s pretty cool shit how things evolved but that UConn offense is another level man I tell ya.
  21. hot damn I got a date with Alvin fly fishing for reds!!!! I'm stoked.
  22. that was bad ass. didn't do much, put on a play list and laid on pool loungers and watched the show. bunch of folks on the water to enjoy it. I can see why people wanted to travel and party. it was legit all the way around, 10 out of 10.
  23. I’ve talked to my son about going that route and doing it for 8-10 years. I’ve talked to him about a number of angles but there is no doubt it’s one of the most lucrative ways to go. To me the gamble isn’t the hours it’s the lifestyle. Which is not to say anything negative about your daughter at all.
  24. That and the ability to get kids to fully execute an offensive set. It’s no different than other sports too, executing the details matter. Some coaches can draw that out of their players, most can’t.
