would you prefer it if the rules of soccer were actually enforced, or is it better as is?
aany player who goes down holding his head resulting in a stoppage of play needs to be off the pitch for a minimum of five minutes, point blank and the period. i’m so fucking sick of this being a strategy to slow down arsenal. it’s fucking dishonest, which the english supposedly take very very seriously. prove it. five minutes off at minimum for any “head injury”.

you can’t even keep your argument straight or logical. you’re saying that if i’m critical of the coach but then three months later the team wins four games in a row then i deserve to be shit talked and insulted. simultaneously you want cry about me threatening to respond in kind if the team starts losing and my criticisms again seem valid. what a dishonest, whiny argument.

what i have said, specifically to people who have been insulting and combative towards me with no provocation, is that if this is how they want to play it, then i will be sure to respond in kind. do you really not understand that? you’re right to question if this is any way to live around here, but you’re dead ass wrong when you cry, “derka is doing this to us for no reason!!!”. give me a break with that whiny victim bullshit. stop starting shit with me and then trying to scapegoat me when i merely threaten to respond in kind.

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
speaking of haunting losses, i was just now looking at vandy’s kenpom page, and check out this ou loss: that loss will legitimately drop them an entire seed line. all they had to do was win at home vs oklahoma and they’d be a 4 seed, fighting for a 3 seed, with 2 seed upside. i won’t be surprised if they now end up as a five seed based solely on that loss. remove it from their resume and they look great. just a giant wart of a home loss.

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
this is the biggest difference. the guys on this team have carved out roles and mostly play within themselves and their roles, and it’s been a winning formula. for example, not only are Vok and Swain our go-to guys down the stretch of games, but they both make it a point to draw fouls and get free points. Jordan Pope is our next guy up, and he is much more under control than he once was. he’s taking much better shots, and far fewer crappy shots, and our team 3p% has gone up because of it. chendall weaver is the smartest and most efficient player on the team. the ball is a hot potato in his hands. he flies on for a rebound and gets the pass off before he hits the ground; he reads the break, gets the steal, and finds swain or pope or mark before anyone else can look up. heide shoots threes and gets dunks. out guys have carved out niches for themselves, and they perform their roles reliably. this team is far different to what it was a year ago today.

lmao, ok i see what happened. htown popped in here to talk shit to me/add nothing to the discussion, and when i was like, “yeah i really don’t appreciate it when people only come here once a blue moon exclusively to talk shit to me” motown was like, “hey he’s talking about me!” LMAO. first off, no, no i wasn’t. but second, it’s hilarious that you naturally assumed that that was about you, and that you then described it as a personal attack against you. jesus christ that’s hilariously pathetic. @MotownHorn - seriously dude- i don’t ever engage you; you engage me, obsessively. a word of advice: if you continue to exclusively post about me, and don’t even pretend to post about hoops, the regulars here are going to report your posts until you get banned from the basketball forum. you’ve had every chance to cut the childish shit and just post here in earnest. i’m asking you one last time to take that chance, and either start contributing here, or accept the ban that will inevitably come your way. again.

this is the literal opposite of the truth. you came in and made two ad hominem posts attacking me, and i never responded to either one. you’ve been doing this for years- coming in and attacking me, followed by you announcing to the entire thread how it’s you who is above my constant personal attacks (which literally don’t exist), and how you will continue to be above it all, even though it’s literally only you engaging me. rinse and repeat. it’s gotten you banned five times. you are truly detached from reality. dynamite contribution to the discussion as always, motown.

nope. i haven’t said anything to or about you since you dropped into this thread with two drive by posts that talked shit to/about me and didn’t even pretend to mention basketball. every single word you type in this thread is about me. you troll for sport.

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
crazy to think that we’re 8-5 in league play when we’re so bad in the turnover department. we’ve been turning it over way too much while not forcing nearly enough of our own. the rest of our offense has been good enough to overcome it, but man, if we could chill out on the turnovers we could probably fuck around and win 3-4 more games before the tourney.

i liked cronin a lot at cincinnati where that bob huggins, kenyon martin, Thug U Midwest vibe was ever present, but since then, man- whole lotta bitchassness coming from him at a school like ucla with the completely opposite vibe. not a good look.

this thread doesn’t trigger me, people talking unwarranted, unprovoked, and pointedly personal shit towards me triggers me. do i ever post insults towards anyone here? do i call anyone stupid for their opinion? do i take pot shots at posters with serious, lifelong, incurable mental illness? do i only show up once in a blue moon to talk personal shit to that specific poster? or do i come here every single day and contribute more to this forum than basically anyone else? earnestly, and passionately. you tell me. i don’t think it’s fair to tell me to stay away from this thread just because i don’t like it when assholes make shit personal and take low blow cheap shots at me. tell those people to post their opinions without being combative assholes, please and thank you.

i never budged on shaka or RT, largely because of one reason: accountability, specifically the complete lack of it. it’s the same thing that had me enamored with beard and barnes, and i’ve said this before: i’ve never been around a championship team that didn’t stress accountability. less than one season in and it’s clear where miller stands in this regard. things were never ever ever going to change under coaches who don’t believe in accountability. never. meanwhile we are already seeing change and growth and development of our players and team under sean miller. it’s the no.1 thing i ask for. you cannot win without it. i’m becoming a bigger and bigger fan with not only each game, but with each public demand for accountability. great stuff.
