@Gerry Hamilton Any thoughts on North Carolina after their collapse last night?

My upset pick yesterday was the High Point over Wisconsin. Shout out to ESPN's Matt Schick for that one. I listen to Dusty and Danny every morning on Sirius and they had Matt on last week and he said watch out for High Point so I chose them based on that and it paid off.

They made the billikins look like an nba team

That was my upset pick of the day. Today’s is 12 Akron over 5 Texas Tech. Hoping to have the same luck.

We currently have a 3 way tie for 1st place. I’ll give yall the OTF crew update on C&F this morning…. Let’s just say I can’t wait.

I also missed the UNC game. Sleepy eyes got me again. Back to the coffee pot.

This is why I'll never fill out a bracket 😂 I don't care if UNC is the number 1 overall seed, I would still pick them to lose round one.

Only missed two… high point and A&M. Not too shabby.

My Aggie hate got me as well. Only miss on day 1.

If UConn shoots the three well in the key games, they are the favorite. 39.5% from three with over 9 makes against is very high end in the womens game. Someone has to catch them on their bad shooting night, if they have one. IMO

Yeah, I am still bitter that we were robbed of getting the dream 5A matchup in 2001 of the seeing Willowridge with the #1 in-state senior TJ Ford & the #2 in-state senior Daniel Ewing vs The Colony with the #1 in-state junior Bracey Wright & #2 in-state junior Deron Williams. 2002 was a special year as all of those top teams and players played each other that year. Bryan Hopkins was absolutely special before some foot/ankle injuries and from my understanding almost ended up at Texas if it wasn't for SMU swooping in and also offering his twin brother a scholarship when his twin wasn't even good enough to see the floor at Dallas Lincoln HS much less on a college basketball team. Hopkins was largely viewed as a better player(not prospect) than Bosh in high school.

So what is this marvelous Champion chip of which you speak? Is it like a really big cookie? Certainly it is not as great as a Championship like the one they recently won in the SEC?

The women start their journey to a chip tomorrow but I really do believe this is the year for Vic and the women. They are battle tested and everyone is playing well right now. The team has a lot of versatility to matchup well against all kinds of teams which bodes well in the tournament. We have the easiest draw of the #1 seeds and we're playing in Austin and Dallas. Plus, we've pretty much beaten every contender except UConn and no team does well against the Texas pressure defense the first time they play Texas. UConn hasn't felt heat like our defense brings every game. So many things lined up this year, it's just up to the women to stay focused every game.

First day done, love this time of year. Got St. Louis, Texas, and TCU as underdog picks through. but got bit by my hate for Aggies, and didn't see UNC or Wisconsin falling, which hurts me into a few rounds each... High Point? Really? 🤣 Awesome. The bracket giveth and the bracket taketh away. 🤘

Kyler did OK playing football, his second contract was for over $230 million ... no guarantee he'd have even reached the big leagues in baseball.

Oh man, I forgot that D Will was in that class. I remember following the box scores in the DMN for all of those guys. It was a fun year to follow Texas HS basketball.

Perkins was 2003 but 2002 was loaded especially in DFW with the guys you mentioned like Bosh, Bracey Wright, Daniel Horton but also Deron Williams, Bryan Hopkins and Ike Diogu and yet not one of those guys ended up at Texas. Thanks Mitch Malone 😒

I have great respect for Jonah the athlete. While he may get another year maybe 2, i would prefer fo see him be great and healthy at one as opposed to above average at both but not excelling at either.

What happened to Georgia?

My daughter worked for Mack Brown her senior year at Texas. She said that Mack had the gift of remembering the names of thousands of people. I really wish I could do that.

I’d give him the same free advice as I thought Kyler Murray should follow….play baseball. He is a special baseball talent but no need to hurry on a decision.

9 offensive rebounds matas. 1 for dybantsa.

Mack is the best ever at that. My Bride was his nurse when he had lens replacement. That day was her birthday. 10 years later he still texts her Happy Birthday

🤘

Gonzaga 3-15 to start the game
