Texas recruiting notes 2019
Okay, cool, we should metaphorically kill off any Longhorn who doesn't bring in the football recruits we covet. Now that's some aggy bull shit.

Texas recruiting notes 2019
The only reason people put up with your shouting down of everyone with a differing opinion is because you regularly drop useful information. I'm not even taking a side in the arguments because I rarely post, but I do appreciate everyone who contributes on this thread. However, Oscar Giles isn't in the same vein as Warehime or Mehringer in my book. Your jihad against him is strange. Obviously his recruiting is less than ideal, but the vitriol shown toward him is breathtaking. He is a Longhorn and no Longhorn who is mediocre to bad at their job deserves to have comments like the above thrown their way. Simply because he didn't get some football recruits you wanted. Be better as a person.

Obviously millions of people agree with you. I'm probably the weird one.

It was work related and not permanent. I guess "lived" might not have even been the right choice of word.

You have to spend money to enjoy living there. 85 percent of the city fucking sucks and the other 15 percent 99 percent of society can't afford to live in. It's pretty much science, or maybe math, I don't know.

Yeah, LA would still fucking suck though. Worst 7 weeks of my adult life living there. No idea why someone would voluntarily live there permanently unless you're making serious money or really really like beaches.

I can't get over this whole Sipp being effective stuff. After 2 bad seasons at his age, I assumed he was done. I also like Giles as a set up man. He needs to get his confidence back and he looked really good today.

2018-19 Texas Longhorns thread
The thing is, it's very rare for a freshman to come in and carry a team offensively. Offense is skill and experience, defense is often athleticism and effort. So I could be wrong, but I don't take either poster as saying he's going to carry the team offensively. However, it's possible he is a contributor, maybe even a major contributor. Who knows, none of it will matter if we don't improve offensive game planning. It's not like we've lacked offensive talent under Smart, just an identity and competent game plan.

Damn, I thought something important had occurred in regards to the basketball team. All these posts and it's a silly argument about being optimistic about a recruit vs tempering expectations. Neither position is so extreme anyone should be up in arms about it. Whatever I guess...

I'm located somewhere between you and the fire Shaka crowd, but you have to admit, we've been as bad on offense under Shaka (or worse) than the end of the Barnes era. We've wasted some pretty elite defenses with really bad scoring.

2018 Houston Astros Season Thread
Lindor was hitting under .270 the vast majority of last season. So similar to Correa this year so far. Even still, Correa is a 1.9 WAR player right now. That is like 5th best in baseball at SS.

I wouldn't take a single one of them over Correa. He's still just a fucking kid, and already a champion. Shit, Lindor slumped most all of last year himself, and he's the only one of those I put in Correa's stratosphere. Mostly because he is also elite defensively. Simmons couldn't even hit the damn ball when he was Correa's age. Bogaerts is worse offensively and defensively than Correa. Lindor is his only real competition IMO. But it appears to me he has fallen in love with the long ball. When he has the skill set to be an Altuve like hitter which is more valuable IMO.

I'm not saying Smart teams quit or don't play hard. I really only remember us quitting against West Virginia. Smart's teams battle, they just cant score.

There was no competition to play down to in conference. Except maybe Iowa St, and they are tough at home even when they are bad. OOC we barely beat some really bad teams after we lost Jones.

Wasn't referring to you by any means, I remember you pointing out his impact for our team on a regular basis that don't always create pretty "stats".
-
2018-19 Texas Longhorns thread
In regard to Jones, sure, but they also would play down to competition. That is a focus and mental toughness issue IMO. I put it on the coaches ability to motivate. And for sure the offense is a known issue. Something has to change there.

Mo Bamba had a great freshman season, but some of you pumping him up now, were the same people blasting him last year. This entire thread is chock full of intellectual dishonesty to meet whatever argument you are trying to make. On both sides. Personally, I saw real improvement from the team in the early part of the year. A little adversity hit, and they crumbled. With better coaching, better mental toughness, and offseason improvement, it's possible we could have a better season next year. Despite some drop off in elite talent like Bamba. If we don't, we will see if CDC wants to go a different way. I don't see Smart getting fired if we make the tourney though. You fire a coach that makes the tourney and the replacement falters, you get fired yourself. If you really want to get rid of Smart, he needs a 2016 repeat.

I watched Ole Miss play against aggy this year, they can swing the lumber and have a bunch of giants on the team. Give me TTech.

I just wanted to recognize you (and the others) for taking care of this hodgepodge of Astros fans on a regular basis. Good stuff. One day soon I will be a regular at Astros games again, and maybe I can pay it forward on this website to you guys.

2017-18 Rockets Thread
They played their asses off and gave maximum effort tonight. They couldn't hit shots, the refs didn't help, and Golden State is really fucking good. It's really that simple. We need to get healthy, lick our wounds, and give it a shot again next year before the window closes. The team is right on the cusp. The Paul injury just makes it a really bitter pill to swallow. This one sucks...

Damn, he let his nuts hang on Tuve that time. One of the best fast ball hitters in the game, 3 straight right down the pipe. Catch it if you can.

Harris has a role on this team. It just isn't closer or high leverage situations. It's not his fault he isn't a dominant close out the game pitcher.
