NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
I mean the west is absolutely insane. OKC, Rockets, Spurs, Nuggets, Warriors, Lakers, Wolves, Clips all could win the west. Won’t add the Mavs just yet. Get Kyrie back though and they may be up there as a favorite.

NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Ya not saying we don’t. Game 1. Hell during the game I’m looking at NBA Finals champ odds because I was so damn excited by how well we scored with Jokic sitting which has been our biggest problem in the past.

NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Yeah Jok and Braun were off. Jok still had a triple double, but man his defensive effort was worse than normal. Cam is still trying to figure out his spacing and off ball movement on offense, but would have liked to have him hit more 3’s. I felt Murray actually played pretty well. Better than 50% from the floor. JV looked really good in his limited action. THJ is looking like a nice piece too. Excited for this season. Our first game we have in our half season is the Pels Wednesday.

Game Week 8: Texas at MSST
Amen. Am grateful for Texas football for as long as we got it. No amount of frustration on the offense will change that. Invested.

Jokic jacking up 3’s in overtime with AG going 10-11 for 3 is definitely an approach. Stupid loss Nuggets.

And I’d love to see it.

Game Week 8: Texas at MSST
Many sportsbooks went from Texas -7.5 to Texas -6.5 back to Texas -7.5. 10 units on MSST +7.5 for me. Hedging my happiness Saturday. Needed that hook though. Still think we win something like 21-17/24-21. Last week’s Texas ML & the under parlay was def the move to feel better about the worst offensive performance I’ve watched since the Arky Texas Bowl that I was dumb enough to go to.

Michael Taaffe wants you to stop being such fucking pussies.
OTF was talking more about JJR and maybe Filsaime, if he’s healthy, replacing Taaffe more than DWill this morning. Not sure what’s going on there with DWill.

Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
Ah fuck you’re right, “Derek.” And I knew that. Also wanted to differentiate from Jonah Williams.

Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
What’s going on with Derrick Williams? Thought he was awesome when he played his true freshman year and last year before his injury. I had half expected McDonald at Star some to get Derrick Williams on the field at safety, but with Filsaime getting Star snaps along with Littleton and JJR seeing the field at safety, it’s almost like Derrick Williams is still hurt or considering a transfer. Kinda weird.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
That’s fair. If that’s the case then we really need to call into question the position choice at the start of the year. Considering the guys we brought in at WR, the only viable excuse considering 2 of our 6 RBs were returning from very serious injuries on a short timeline is that Terry wanted to start at WR.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I mean we’ve got 3 guys healthy for this weekend, barring any injuries in the next 2 days. If Baxter never comes back, then sure, if there’s an additional injury or we’re blowing out a conference foe.

Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
I highly doubt Terry plays at RB this weekend if his first practices at RB were late last week. Just seems way too soon for a true freshman.
-
Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
With Terry, how soon can we realistically expect him to get game snaps if his first practices at RB were a practice or two leading up to OU? Not sure he sees the field all that much this year unless we’re in a really bad place at RB injury wise.

Texas O-line talk
And this is why Wisner is good for this team on OZ now that Stroh has his big stiff ass on the bench. He stretches, finds a lane to cut back as OL are riding them and explodes.

What ever makes them feel better about Brooks pancaking R Mason Thomas numerous times.

Tell me about Texas Tech
I agree and when y’all land Kavian Bryant it will be understood by everyone what Tech is doing out in Lubbock. Ojo y’all overpaid heavily for a 5 star project. Have been very impressed so far this year though by the product on the field. As much as folks are rooting for Tech to play Aggy in the playoffs, I’d rather have us play and settle this best front 7 in college football debate 🤘🏻

Tell me about Texas Tech
Counterpoint: Some conferences it’s easier to go through your conference slate with less injuries than others. Between Purdue, NC State, Kentucky, Minnesota, Colorado, UCF, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Cal, and West Virginia, I have a pretty good idea of which of those teams I’d prefer to play Saturday for an easier win and less risk for injuries, and they’re all within 10-15 of SP+/FPI.

Kentucky Road Trip - Horses, Bourbon, and Football
Yesterday about 15 miles from the DIA we had insane fog. Apparently it was just our few mile radius. Must have moved to the airport this morning.

Tell me about Texas Tech
And that’s totally fair. Utah was a good win. I suppose we’ll see how good. I think going from Morton to Hammond definitely threw their d off and the game became a blowout with Hammond steering the ship. I can appreciate the point you’re trying to make regarding Ohio State, with us being their big win and how do you gauge that. Good job navigating that respectfully. Oregon, I don’t know I agree. I think they’re legit, their win over Penn State was a big win based on eye test at the time, and that Penn State’s collapse after that game doesn’t necessarily take away from the team that showed up that day against Oregon with their crowd insanely jacked. Luckily we’re no longer in BCS times so Tech if they take care of bidness can put some respek on their name come playoff time. Just do us a favor and don’t drop the damn game against BYU so we don’t have to consider a pretender like BYU playoff worthy.

Tell me about Texas Tech
Texas Tech looks great to my eye this year, but what’s hardest to discern is how great. You could make a case for Tech not playing any team as good as a top 5 in conference SEC team or top 3 in conference big 10 team all year. I fully expect them to go 13-0 and then look like a completely different team when their opponent has the same talent level.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
You could choose to say he was good, you just choose not to. His passing numbers look better yardage wise if Sark doesn’t call so many poorly timed screens. It seemed we called screens when OU was sitting back often and we lost 5. That happened literally 5 times and that isn’t on Arch for making the throw that was called. Look I get the fucking point you’re trying to drive home. He’s not a Heisman candidate, TODAY. But today he made numerous throws that were winning plays, extending drives, even if we didn’t score as much as we wanted in the first half. I mean that Brooks hold was killer early. We probably go up early without it. - The rope deep at our own 6 that saved us from losing a field position battle at 10-6 on 3rd down. Huge play in the game. You bet your ass Venables thought he had us on that play and Arch just shoved it up his ass. - rolling on his left hitting a 3rd down pass with pressure up 13-6. - his run to end the game, to me proving that it was there for him a lot of the day BUT HE WAS PLAYING BANGED UP. - he went 21-27. He made accurate short throws. He put the ball in receivers hands that allowed them to make plays, enough. Sark didn’t call aggressive plays and Arch played within himself.
