RAT. POISON.

Has to with UT keeps losing when they need to win for a tournament birth.

No different than the Heisman odds for 2026 coming out in January. They're in the business of making money and they'll take whoever wants to spend it lol

Growing up in the 1960's in the Carolinas as an All-Conference high school basketball player this is an easy one for me. 1974, 1982, 1983, 1991, 1992, 1993, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2017 were all very special years for me lol.

That Kansas-Syracuse title game also gave us this legendary Roy Williams postgame interview (for those who don't know, he took the North Carolina job about a week after this interview):

Trust the Process

I wanted to bring this topic to the board because, as someone who is a "One Shining Moment" stan, the 2003 version hit me right in the feels when my YouTube algorithm suggested I watch it:

College basketball might've been my favorite sport when I was a kid. I remember my brother and I messing with rabbit ears on an old TV to watch the Duke-UNLV semifinal in 1991. I hated Christian Laettner. I loved the Fab Five. The UConn-Georgetown Big East Tournament final in 1996 (Ray Allen vs. Allen Iverson) remains one of the most exciting basketball games I've ever watched at any level. For me, college basketball peaked during the 2003 season. Texas' run to the Final Four. I've followed it as a fan and media member since then, but I remember more about that tournament and that season than almost every tournament that's been played in the last 20-plus years. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy it, and very few things are better as a sports fan than going to an arena for first and second-round NCAA Tournament games live, even if you don't have a dog in the fight. But T.J. Ford was captaining the ship for Texas to New Orleans, where Carmelo Anthony put an end to the Longhorns' title quest in the Superdome, when college basketball hit its absolute peak with me. What was that season for you? The one where your fandom, interest and love for college basketball was a 10 out of 10.

need ou to lose . go agsy whoop whoop

When Texas opens practice to reporters, we get to see Steve Sarkisian in coaching mode. Regarding the start of spring practice, Sarkisian's role goes beyond that of a coach. Sarkisian is approaching practice periods like a teacher when class is in session, demanding attention to detail, information retention and maximum effort reps from his students. There’s always been a level of intensity that Sarkisian roams the practice field with that doesn’t always show on game day, when he’s locked in on his call sheet for four quarters. What’s different about Sarkisian from the glimpses we got during the first week of spring practice is a renewed sense of urgency. Especially when the offense is going through drills without a handful of veteran leaders (during routes on air, for example, Arch Manning, Ryan Wingo and Emmett Mosley didn’t participate in either open media window this week), Sarkisian directs his troops like a coach who understands the young, inexperienced Longhorns don’t have a ton of examples they can study to see how practice is supposed to run. After leaving more things to chance than he should have coming off a trip to the College Football Playoff semifinals in 2024 while preparing for the 2025 season, Sarkisian is leading by example and setting the proper tone for a program that must be more buttoned up in several areas to get back to the CFP. As he was giving the media his thoughts on Monday’s practice, Sarkisian could’ve been talking about himself when describing what the players did well. “You could feel the competitive spirit, and not necessarily always across the ball with each other,” Sarkisian said. "I think competitively internally, that's what great competitors have — that internal fire to want to do it the right way.” Whether he’s rewriting the wrongs from last season, trying to match the energy Will Muschamp is infusing into the defense or trying to maximize his on-field time with several new faces on the field, Sarkisian looks like he’s motivated to do things in a way that positions Texas to win championships in his sixth season on the Forty Acres. — One of the top storylines to follow when Texas returns from spring break is seeing if Jermaine Bishop’s impact translates to contact practices. The true freshman has been the talk of spring practice through the first week and rightfully so. Bishop has a unique ability to hit another gear when tracking the football and then attack it in the air that words can't accurately describe. He's one of several Longhorns who profile as a potential football unicorn, with his combination of physical traits, body type and playmaking ability that’s hard to compare to other Texas players. Rasheem Biles, Cam Coleman and Colin Simmons are individually unique. Those three Longhorns have skins on the wall as college football players. It’s up to Sarkisian to come up with ways to get the most out of Bishop. Thankfully, that’s a big reason why Bishop chose Texas. A two-way prospect who “has the ability to do either,” Sarkisian said when Bishop signed with the Longhorns in December, the Willis product selected by Dave Campbell's Texas Football as Mr. Texas Football was expected to begin his collegiate career on defense when he committed to Texas. Sarkisian had experience coaching high-level two-way prospects at Washington (John Ross) and USC (Adoree’ Jackson), both of whom went on to become first-round NFL draft picks at wide receiver and cornerback, respectively. Sarkisian's efforts to weaponize Ross and Jackson gave him a road map he could present to Bishop and his family as to why the Longhorns would be the best fit for his football future. The early returns from spring practice suggest Sarkisian will have to unveil his plan for maximizing Bishop sooner rather than later, if he continues to light it up at practice. — If there’s one thing we’re not talking about enough through two practices, it’s the quality snaps KJ Lacey is getting with the first-team offense. Manning should regain the keys to the offense at some point before the spring game on April 18. Until then, Sarkisian, AJ Milwee and Mike Bimonte get to see how Lacey operates with the first unit, which should pay off if he’s called pressed into duty (keep in mind that Texas needed Matthew Caldwell to play critical snaps in two SEC road games, including overtime of the comeback win over Mississippi State). The most poignant comment Sarkisian made this week might’ve been how one of the unintended consequences to come from Manning’s foot surgery was Lacey getting an opportunity rarely afforded to quarterbacks further down the depth chart than an elite signal-caller like Manning. “A lot of times, we have to manufacture that throughout spring — put him with the ones, pull Arch out. Now, he's just getting all of this,” Sarkisian said. “I don't know when, how much his number might get called this fall, so there's a lot of banked reps that he's getting right now that I think are invaluable for him.” View full news story

All the bubble teams keep losing.

What does that have to do with UT?

...the girls stay FOUR years! Therefore, we get to know them. We see their progress each year. Obviously, the SEC is loaded, and I watch as many games as possible regardless of the team. I marvel at the talent. It's fun to envision us competing against OU and Chavez, Vandy with Blakes, South Carolina with Mighty Mouse...etc. The great men hoopers are one and done. You can't really be a part of their journey. We have Booker for four years!!! By the time she graduates, we are bonded with her. Do you agree?

The day Kobe became the best player in the world when he 21.

In Gerry eyes he is a +++++++++++++++ kinda guy lol

I'll check it out.

It ain't Pat. Phil was the greatest coach ever. Kobe isn't coming, which is more important. We need Arch to be half Kobe.

Smh... if that's what a 4 star looks like.... I was definitely a 2.7 to 3.2 star..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿‍♂️! WTF ARE THEY FEEDING THESE KIDS!!!? He looks like he took over Latimer's locker! 🤣🤣🤣 Muschamp... keep cooking OG!!

Musician. She's got some great songs IMO. New album coming out in May so she's doing some promo work.

I have no idea who this is, should I? That's a serious question.

So, when is Pat Riley coming to Austin?

Ur scaring me, Joe🤭

No serious sports person disagrees with Kobe's assessment. Kobe said the Lakers would have won 12 titles if Shaq worked like him. AI search: "Kobe Bryant is widely considered the hardest-working athlete of all time due to his legendary "Mamba Mentality," characterized by 2 a.m. workouts, relentless 5 a.m. gym sessions, and obsessive, around-the-clock training. His work ethic was described as unparalleled, focusing on extreme preparation that outmatched peers."
