Texas @ Gonzaga, 9:30 CT on ESPN2
Gonzaga may be "damn good", but we played horrible defense against them. It's understandable given how we're a completely new team, but the defensive chemistry has to improve tremendously if we hope to realize our potential.

NCAA Hoops 2021-22
My thoughts exactly. I was extremely impressed with him a couple years ago. I think Louisville rose to #1 or something around there and they got a recruit out of Rockwall, TX that I was hoping we'd get. He hasn't done much of anything there yet, but he was the long, skilled wing that our program has lacked for a long time. Of course flash forward a couple years, Beard gets here, and immediately gets those exact specs on not 1, but 2 wing recruits in back to back classes with Jaylon Tyson and Dilon Mitchell, so crisis averted.

Isn't this Chris Mack's 4th year at Louisville? I forget whether he's dealing with NCAA sanctions or anything, but this is surprising giving the promise he showed in his 2nd season there.

The official update thread for former Longhorns
Unless you're a top-2 level executive you don't make shit in an NBA front office. At least that was the case for the basketball side of the front office up until the mid 00s. I believe Amin made it up to VP of basketball Ops or somewhere below that tier. He tells a story about being elated to get a raise that brought him up to 50K.

Lance also attempted to have a free agent PG workout for the team without getting him to sign waivers which is a baseline NBA protocol checkpoint in those types of circumstances.

The official update thread for former Longhorns
Forgot the podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/amin-elhassan-on-his-phoenix-suns-days-shaq-locker/id1109271715?i=1000507751314 Quote from the podcast purportedly said verbatim by Lance Blanks: "I'm the general manager. That means I manage things generally" Amin is a great storyteller and he basically describes Lance as the gm version of Michael Scott from the Office.

The official update thread for former Longhorns
Ive heard Amin talk about his experiences with Lance (without ever mentioning his name) on multiple podcast and the general gist is Lance was a lazy, middle management type whose only goal upon getting the GM gig was maintaining the GM gig. . He starts talking about it on the RInger NBA show with Raja Bell at 17:40 of this podcast.

Amin telling stories about Robert Sarver but I'm posting this here particularly because the person he begins talking about a little after the 19:00 mark is none other than our own Lance Blanks.

NBA 2021-2022
The main problem is they took ZIon's bluff way too seriously and then ruined their team building plan in the process. There was no need to hasten their plan just because Zion and his fat, injury prone ass threatened to give up 40 to 50 million dollars and not take his rookie extension. All that talk of him saying no to the extension was and is complete and utter nonsense. If the rumors were true and he and his family were really making noise about getting out of dodge I would've told them to "do what yall gotta do" while simultaneously opening up a briefcase full of over 200+ million dollars.

Point and laugh at Shaka Smart
I aint gonna lie. I'd rather have Royce than Bishop, but I'm happy for him to finally get his opportunity.

Texas basketball '21-'22: Welcome Chris Beard
- Chet Holmgren- Basketball's Next Unicorn?
Fucking A!! Can't wait for this game.- Texas vs. Houston Baptist tonight at 8 PM at the FEC and on LHN
I like that we ran the motion offense from a much more spread out alignment than what Beard typically did at Tech. Probably had something to do with the fact that we have way more shooters on the floor than what he usually had at Tech. .- 2021 - 2022 Dallas Mavericks: The Vibes are Immaculate
Native metroplexian and 2nd yr player Tyrese dropped 31 points last night. I wonder what Josh Green and his 0.3 ppg has in store for us tonight.- New (?) University in Austin
If you think that's weird then you haven't been paying attention.- NFL week 9 thread
Anybody else see this dirty ass play- 2021-22 Big XII Basketball Thread of Fuck Baylor
More should definitely be made in the media about Okla St's sanctions. The lack of similar sanctions for South Carolina alone for the EXACT same violation by the EXACT same offender is absolute and total bullshit. How can the NCAA defend the difference in sanctions between the 2 schools? I don't think there's ever been a better test case than the South Carolina/Okla St judgments for an example of the NCAA's inequitable administration of sanctions from school to school.- NCAA Hoops 2021-22
Quin Snyder would probably be their best hope, but I doubt he ever comes back to cbb.- NCAA Hoops 2021-22
Coach K created the recruiting allure of Duke. They weren't anything special prior to him. In fact I'm really interested in what will happen to Duke after he leaves. If they don't hit the ground running they're at risk of turning into a UCLA or something like much lesser than their peak.- NBA 2021-2022
I used to feel that way about Osaka, but after hearing about how she grew up and immense pressure and seclusion her parents put her through her issues seem much more legitimate than the bullshit Ben Simmons is pretending to go through.- Aaron Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers and Does Not Want to Return
He was on ESPN for a bit, but chose to go his own route. I'm guessing he sees a bigger opportunity and a shitload more autonomy in growing his podcast/radio show and overall brand on his own.- Raiders WR Henry Ruggs charged with DUI resulting in death after drunken crash kills someone
By people do you think they mean Americans? And more specifically, white Americans? I doubt that if the entire population of the planet were polled the results of that study would bare out the same conclusions. This phenomenon of caring for pets over human life is a cultural thing and probably a resulting effect afforded by relative comfort.- 2021 - 2022 Dallas Mavericks: The Vibes are Immaculate
Yeah but the Hawks understand what Cuban has never understood during his entire ownership tenure. The draft is a valuable part of team building and doing it well sets your team up with tradeable assets if the opportunity ever arises to trade for a big star. Cuban's Mavs have always chosen the hail mary route of free agency as the sole method of team building. We lucked out with 2 generational draft picks over a 20 year span, but outside of that the Mavs have been poorly run for the greater part of 2 decades.- Aaron Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers and Does Not Want to Return
Judging by his fiance/wife's comments he's more of a granola type who tries every holistic remedy known to man before trying conventional medicine. She eats clay because some taxi driver told her about it. My guess is that his "holistic immunization" was her idea. Pussy will forever and always remain undefeated.- Aaron Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers and Does Not Want to Return
The main issue is whether or not he followed the NFL prescribed protocols for unvaccinated players. Cole Beasley and others have been fined for not following protocols. This guy has just been behaving as if he's above it all. - Chet Holmgren- Basketball's Next Unicorn?
