    Guy lost me at the end.  Playing in SEC is going to be a bear?  As if the b12 is some rando conference we're leaving?  lol

     

    Edit: sorry for the derp and not multiquoting, ban user.

    no shit.  the sec isn't going to be any more difficult than the big 12 has been the past several years.

  2. i get being upset about beard fucking us over and dreaming about what could have been but at some point you've got to move on.  he's not the coach and its 100% his fault.  comparing whoever is the coach to him is pointless because he fucked himself out of the gig.  

  3. very good news, but they should still shut him down for the season.

    What are the draft pick scenarios? Without Alpi, it’s time to tank. 

    we keep our own pick if its in the top 4, otherwise it goes to okc.  we have brooklyn's pick completely unprotected.  will probably fall somewhere between 7-9.

    Well, at least the team can potentially build on this. Washington and Baylor appear to be even worse than us. Texas needs to go 8-2 over this 10 game home stand. Come out on the other side of this 19-8 (4-2) with some confidence… 

    narrator: Texas loses to Incarnate Word

     

    I was bored earlier so I looked up the current RPI rankings of the next 10 opponents.  With the preface that it's early and the rankings are volatile at this point in the year, we appear to have a lot of time to fix whats broken while piling up wins:

    Incarnate Word (1 game) - 107

    Washington (3 games) - 125

    Air Force (2 games) - 78

    Baylor (3 games) - 163

    A&M CC (1 game) - 201

    Kansas State (3 games) - 84

    Abilene Christian (1 game) - 135

    BYU (3 games) - 124

    Texas State (2 games) - 166

    Houston (3 games) - 60

    also things are seemingly starting to line up for us. that UCF win last night for example was awesome for us. our oath to winning two league tourney games just became a more realistically doable one, and with two wins in this tourney there is zero chance we are anything worse than a 7 seed, and could very well end up as a 6 seed. the path to the S16 as a 6 seed is infinitely easier than as an 8 seed, which was likely what we were looking at just a week ago. we got hot around this time last year. there’s nothing that says we can’t do it again.

    i know you meant path, but i like the idea that we took an oath to win two tourney games.

    This is exactly where we want to be on a Saturday. Boehm fully rested and could probably go 3-4 innings, Witt and Harrison probably available out of the pen, Fontenot hasn’t been used.

    Will be in even better shape if we can get 5 solid innings from Howard today.

    i would think Witt wouldn't be available until tomorrow, but who knows?

    agree with you though, Whitehead going the remainder of the game once he relieved LBJ last night was huge for today and tomorrow.

    play the video and then look at the crowd reactions in the still shot after it concludes.  particularly the chick in the portland jersey and the hotter chick behind her with the red scarf or whatever it is.

    And thats a wrap on the 24 season for Ben Simmons. Good job.  Good effort. 

    That clown has made $160M to date with another ~$40M next year. $200M for the steaming pile of shit that is his NBA career. His agent earned fucking penny.

    absolutely stunning news that he is done for the year.  never would have seen anything like that coming.

    nets fans will always have the 15 games he gave them this year though.
