Blake is a big plus on the channel and enjoy his baseball coverage.

He definitely missed some close ones but that’s Matas issue going forward. He’s not athletic and players with height and athleticism will give him trouble going forward. However he did get dominated by a player five inches shorter than him last game, so maybe all defenders bother him.

The Kentucky guy had a couple blocks on him but there were a number of times he had the guy pinned down or had the jump hook and just missed some easy shots. You have convert on those or draw a foul when you have the position which he did neither.

Big yikes

AUSTIN, Texas – The College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) named Eddie Reese the recipient of its Lifetime Achievement Award on Tuesday afternoon, one of the organization's most prestigious distinctions. Selected by the CSCAA Executive Board, Reese was honored for a career that reshaped collegiate swimming and diving and produced an enduring legacy before his retirement in 2024. Reese, a Florida native and former standout swimmer at the University of Florida, devoted his career to the sport of swimming as both a student-athlete and coach. Hired by Texas in 1978 by Darrell K Royal, Reese went on to build one of the most successful and respected programs in collegiate swimming and diving history. Under Reese's leadership, Texas captured 15 NCAA Division I men's swimming and diving national championships and more than 40 conference titles. He claimed his first NCAA Championship in 1981 and became the only swimming coach to win NCAA team titles in five separate decades (1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s). His 15 National Championships are tied for the seventh-most by any coach, in any sport, in NCAA history. Reese's Longhorns also won 75 NCAA individual titles and 55 relay crowns through the completion of the 2022-23 season. Skip Ad An eight-time NCAA Coach of the Year, four-time College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) National Coach of the Year and four-time American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA) Coach of the Year, Reese coached hundreds of All-Americans and mentored more than 40 Olympians who combined to earn over 50 Olympic medals, including multiple gold medals. The program's outdoor pool facility, located adjacent to the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center, opened in August 2020 and was named in his honor. Prior to arriving in Austin, Reese completed a six-year rebuilding effort at Auburn from 1972 to 1978, leading the Tigers to four-consecutive Top-10 finishes, including a second-place showing in 1978. A 1963 graduate of Florida, Reese helped lead the Gators to three SEC titles (1961, 1962 and 1963) and became the first swimmer in program history to win five SEC titles in a career. He remained at Florida as a graduate assistant coach while earning his master's degree before serving as a high school teacher and coach at Roswell High School in New Mexico from 1965 -66 and later returning to Florida as an assistant coach from 1967-72. The CSCAA Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals whose careers reflect sustained excellence, leadership, and a profound commitment to advancing collegiate swimming and diving. Reese's body of work as a coach, mentor, and steward of the sport embodies those values in every respect. Reese will be formally recognized on May 4 in Chicago as part of the CSCAA Awards Celebration, where the association will honor a distinguished class of individuals whose contributions have shaped the past, present, and future of collegiate swimming and diving.

Give me a colonoscopy over watching basketball it’s to soft. I haven’t watch since Tim Duncan retired and hated watching then. It’s all about being soft and flopping I’m good lol

I have no complaints. Everybody does a great job. Every now and then we get into but it’s all in fun. On a few other sites and this is the best place to come for news. You guys get it faster than anyone. OTF knew about Goosby’s shoulder. Two other sites had it as breaking news. Some of those guys thought he was having reconstructive shoulder surgery. In fact I am offering to take @Jeff Howe @Bobby Burton @CJ Vogel and @Gerry Hamilton and @Joe Zura to a men’s basketball game. Who’s with me!!! You guys probably prefer a colonoscopy over that though.

How Sark completely fumbled the ball on the OL again is beyond me. What is worse is that he showed the door to half the OL. We have all the skilled talent in the world, but without a functional OL it is meaningless.

The YouTube channel is A+. Jeff and CJ together provide good insights and discussion. Bobby, Gerry and Rod together are always my favorite and fantastic. I love the guests you have had on the show, whether players coaches or others. Love the diversity on the channel. Appreciate Gerry’s BBall input and traveling recruiting updates. Having former player’s perspective is a huge plus, especially Rod and others at times like Brian. The site strengths are the balance you bring and Bobby’s morning posts, as well as insightful articles by others in the staff like CJ. Jeff Howe is a helluva writer, always a good read and strong commentator . Coverage of other sports is also a plus and adequately done. Like the baseball updates. Keep shining guys.

Don’t worry ladies and germs, the Brockermeyer twins are otw!!!!

Matas was shut down because he played against an athletic big that was basically the same height as him. The only threes were hit by Swain.

I’d agree with you a bit on the Oline improvement that it was perhaps more modest than some believe. OU, for example, was pretty poor pass protection but Arch hit Wisner on two check downs I believe. Then rolled right to hit Livingstone. We ran the ball for yards, but Wisner had a lot of YAC. Arch did better. I believe the play calling helped too. Unfortunately at Georgia we dropped too many balls then fell apart late. I am in the minority on this. I think we’ll be fine here. I may be more concerned about RB pass protection.

So ridiculous

I went from knowing nothing about y'all to feeling like it's part of my every day. Y'all are doing something very right and I think a good mix of good guys, players, writers, ages. All y'all seem very humble and likeable drink a beer with you kinda guys. I like you guys post so early for us old guys that start drinking coffee at 5 am. Feels like just dudes talking ball and hanging out. No true a-holes. Keep the camera lens clean is my only pet peeve. Y'all hooked me.

They got enough from Pope, just the wrong one.

Beyond frustrating loss… didn’t get enough from pope tonight.., too many second chances for Kentucky! swain and weaver were really good but outside of those no one else was consistent enough to win… hookem🤘

Doesn’t KD have some eligibility left? I want to win the Natty this year.

Once again defending the pick and roll killed us. We probably had 15+ fouls that results from trying to defend the PnR with Matas/Traore and Pope/Wilcher. Simeon Wilcher's +/- has got to be awful this season. He's a liability on defense and hasn't scored much for this team. I get Heide was sick but playing Wilcher a lot of minutes is not a recipe for success. Matas has to capitalize on some of those bunnies he missed in the 2nd half. That was the difference in the game. Swain was great but Pope was gun shy all night.

I can’t go through another portal of Wilcher, Heide and Traore.

Agreed and IU even with all their success under Cig, is still a basketball school at heart.

absolutely, your typical playoff team does not have 5 NFL draft picks on the line, even Miami/IU this year. However, you judge the line based on performance. 2025 O-line was not good, even towards the end. So the only thing you can look toward improving is either the personnel or the development. Losing Campbell, Texas is also much worse than Guard than last year. Losing Brooks and Cruz are significant for depth. Texas brought in one single starting caliber player, but still projected to be a multi-year development. So from a portal perspective, Texas has lost personnel and decreased its position in the O-line Arch improved in throwing accurately under pressure throughout the season. Florida aside, he faced marginally lower pressure as the season progressed, but he grew to be much more able to take the hits/scramble while nicely targeting his receivers. IMO that's why people are thought the o-line improved. Watching the time 24 Quinn received vs 25 arch is night and day

Nope, but I do think Miller is a good coach and will do good things here. He just won’t have the NIL budget and will have to take the IU money ball model and apply it here.
