I truly love this offer!

Think we've got a chance here, guys.

Hi

We've mentioned him plenty the last few weeks. Today 2027 OL Jackson Cook got an offer from the Longhorns on his visit. OTF expects Cook to lock in a late June OV in the coming days. Cook's father is Matt Trissel who played at Texas. Cook's junior tape at Westlake: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/26119436/69385398f761149cbfad0657 (originally played at Lago Vista)

Eh that's the way to do it! My setup will allow me to do something similar. Start out with the softball game on the big screen, then switch it to one of my dual screen monitors and put the baseball game on the big screen once it starts. If MBB or WBB were playing tonight, I would have baseball and softball on the monitors and hoops on the big screen.

I'll have the boys on the TV, the ladies on my LG Stand by me, and be in-between the threads with you insufferable people😂

Transferred to Carrollton.

After Bowlshitsby, all of the mediocre 12 AD still think Yormark is a certified genius.

Phi Slamma Jamma era. Texas with TJ.

It began with the teams coached by Leon Black, and a buddy of mine had a dog he named Leon. My favorite was the Abe Lemons era. I also enjoyed the years the team was coached by Tom "Sweet Tom" Penders during the "BMW" years when the Horns battled Nolan Richardson's Razorbacks. The Rick Barnes years were also enjoyable at times, like the few years when the team excelled. But my favorite era was Abe Lemons... especially when he called a late timeout with the Longhorns leading and asked Johnny Moore to sit beside him and Abe asked, "Johnny, can you believe this?! We're about to win this damn thing!" Hook 'Em! PS... Where are they now? Larry Robinson, B G Brosterhouse, Sonny what's his name, the Center from Roseburg Oregon who famously rode the Greyhound back to Oregon after the Spring semester (can't remember his name), Brandy Perryman, and several others, like "Easy" Ed the lefty Forward from Ft Worth, Ron Baxter and more. Best wishes and/or RIP to them all.

Not on a national scale. But there weren't many before either on a national level. Duke/UNC is what got me into college bb big time. Before that it was all NBA and Texas games.

Apart from Duke/UNC, are there any competitive, must-see rivalries any more? (And even the air has come out of Duke/UNC in my opinion.)

I would say the whole 2000s is when it really peaked. I remember not being able to miss a DUKE/UNC game during that time, it was as cant miss tv as you could get for CBB.

Great thread. In my mind, it is hard to argue with the 1980's/1990's, not only in terms of quality, but theatre. The John Thompsons, Jerry Tarkanians, Rollie Massiminos, Lou Carneseccas, and so on, down the line. As a young kid, one of my first competitive games was March 1990, Syracuse-Georgetown in the Dome, wall to wall coverage in the local and national press leading up to it. Alonzo/Dikembe on one side, and Stevie Thompson/Billy Owens/Derrick Coleman/Mike Hopkins on the other. Big John draws three techs in the first half and waives the towel etc. on the way out and up the tunnel. Gosh, and as I look at the box score, Jim Burr officiated. Hard to argue with it, and I've rushed the court before against JJ Reddick's Duke.

I don't think the issue is the idea itself. All else being equal, the LED floor is awesome. But he knew in advance its actual execution would meaningfully jeopardize player safety and competition quality (ability to trust jumps and cuts, etc) and he knowingly chose the cool idea over player safety and competition quality. That's a fireable offense, IMO.

2028 DL Jamir Lee from Savannah (Ga.) Benedictine Military 6-2, 260 Texas offered on Jan. 28 Has additional offers from Ga. Tech, Miami, Nebraska and Ole Miss, among others. Sophomore tape: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/23617512/68b5b2026671c4f59536d146

Maybe something to be said too for the style of gameplay difference vs. the men's game? For my own tastes at least, in the current evolution of the sports, the women's game style is more enjoyable to watch. But I don't know if this is a widely held view.

The Phi Slamma Jamma dominance was #1 as must-see basketball during that period. Recent Cinderella run by 15-seed St. Peter’s in 2022 to reach Elite Eight. In the current era we may never see a Cinderella run like St. Peter’s again. It was exciting to watch.

Yeah, that was Dylan Disu injury before Dylan Disu. Would've definitely beaten Oregon (should've beaten Oregon anyway imo) and gave Kansas a much tougher game than Oregon did in the Elite Eight for sure.

It’s Garrett Gilbert’s squint all over again. The season can’t get here fast enough.

7. Kalen DeBoer should be ranked higher than Sark Freeman and Lanning dude played in a National championship idk why he gets overlooked he wins everywhere he goes
