  1. gonna have to fucking rebound at some point. jesus christ.
  2. long piece from the athletic in regards to the potential reunion with harden this summer:
  3. obvious alert, but this would be a huge win for wvu if they can hold on.
  4. it was only game 4 of the nba finals while his team trailed the series 2-1 so i'm not sure if it's a big enough stage or not, but he did do this:
  5. dude, they're gonna fire silas as soon as the season ends. it's going to be ok.
  6. turn it to showtime now. fight of the year candidate taking place. reminiscent of corrales/castillo 1
  7. holy shit @ embiid almost pulling that off.
  8. tank davis/ryan garcia officially set for april 22nd.
  9. how does greg byrne not have one fucking piece of paper on his desk?
  10. i haven't watched them closely enough yet, but the college prospects i like best this year are miller (but could be an accessory to murder), george, whitmore, and dick. before all this murder stuff broke, i would have felt ok if the rockets ended up with the third pick because i think miller can be a player. but now, outside of the top 2 i'm not nearly as confident in anyone. the other guys i mentioned i think will have solid nba careers, but i wouldn't say any project to becoming a star. in the mid-late first round guys, i do like terquavion smith as i can't imagine he won't at least be an off the bench scorer in the league. definitely need to watch these guys more in depth over the next month to get a better feel for all of them.
  11. i'll give them this, i normally never would have tuned in to a bama/south carolina game but i'll definitely be watching at the beginning at least.
  12. nope, the trend you were replying to was in regards to barely squeaking into the tournament.
  13. no one is blaming the police for this. that doesn't mean that police offers are not typically some of the most untrustworthy sources of information on the face of the planet.
  14. Seeding history for Texas in the past 20 NCAA tournaments: 2022 - 6, 2021 - 3, 2020 - n/a, 2019 - DNQ, 2018 - 10, 2017 - DNQ, 2016 - 6, 2015 - 11, 2014 - 7, 2013 - DNQ, 2012 - 11, 2011 - 4, 2010 - 8, 2009 - 7, 2008 - 2, 2007 - 4, 2006 - 2, 2005 - 8, 2004 - 3, 2003 - 1 In the past 19 tournaments, Texas didn't qualify for the tournament 3 times and was a double digit seed 3 more times. The other 13 times they quite comfortably qualified for the tournament. So I'm not sure what trend you are talking about.
  15. he was in the wrong place at the wrong time man. boys will be be boys.
  16. lol oats is having to walk back his dumbass comments. they're showing a new statement from him right now on espn2 during the baylor/kstate halftime show.
  17. i generally agree, though i found his team that won the title more watchable than his typical team so maybe more access to nba lottery picks (deandre hunter) at a place like texas would increase the "fun" factor in his style.
  18. there is a quite clear path to a 1 seed. win the big 12 regular season title outright. is that likely, probably not (thanks for that egg last night tcu). but it's a pretty clear path.
  19. i have no issue with taking jabari in 2022. that was thought to be a three person draft and we had the third pick. up until the morning of the draft it was thought that jabari was going to be the #1 pick so his sliding to 3 felt like a major get. now with the benefit of hindsight, maybe there was someone else who should have been the pick, but given all the information available at the time of the draft i feel like every GM in the league would have taken jabari at #3. i wanted mobley in 2021. i thought it was clear that he was going to be a star on both end of the court. green has had his ups and downs, but has flashed enough for me that i am still hopeful that time and competent coaching will unleash his full potential. if he reaches that, he's going to be a very good player and it will make not having mobley much easier to swallow.
