I've heard a lot about our "easy" schedule. Our opponents were 123-107 against all foes other than UT. Not sure the SEC was "Texas ready". 😂

Even though we lost game two, watching Schloss go out and joke around with the boys before going to Grubbs was great. He's the coolest Texas coach.

Bird was one of the greatest players ever. Against the Lakers he was a liability because of Worthy. Jerry West drafted James Worthy to kill Bird. Now, the Lakers had Kareem and Magic too. But Worthy was the difference on the wing and in the post against Bird or McHale. That's why the Lakers beat the Celtics two out of three in the 80s. West traded for the draft rights to Kobe to kill everyone.

Don't know yet. Some things in play ... NIL requests, agent/player expectations, etc... Texas feels very good about where the roster is, and wants to add the correct final piece for multiple years ideally.

Timetable on that Herry asking for a friend

Two spots remain. Texas is expected to use one for sure. That remains in play, yes.

Someone asked me about the defense. You couldn't double at this time. You had to play man. Celtics couldn't defend Worthy man on man in the post. It's not like now where you just pack the paint and switch double or flood the pick and roll. Rules wouldn't let you do that then. That's why the paint is open and there's much more movement on the ball with only one defender. They changed the rule about man defense because the rest of the league got tired of Kobe and Shaq killing them one on one.

Like the pick up. The kid looks long and athletic… nice fro to boot. Damn we gettin’ big.

Real basketball. Game 1 1987 NBA Finals.

Here's the judge (Texas) explaining to the kid criminal interloper (Oklahoma) why they never won anything without cheating and why all the whining in the world about being outspent in NIL wont save them. I been everywhere, the kid said. This is just one more place The judge arched his brow. Did you post witness? he said. To report to you on the continuing existence of those places once you'd quit them? That's crazy. Is it? Where is yesterday? Where is Glanton and Brown and where is the priest as the pope? He leaned closer. Where is Shelby, whom you left to the mercies of Elias in the desert, and where is Tate whom you abandoned in the mountains? Where are the ladies, ah the fair and tender ladies with whom you danced at the governor's ball when you were a hero anointed with the blood of the enemies of the republic you'd elected to defend. And where is the fiddler and where is the dance? I guess you can tell me. I tell you this. As war becomes dishonored and its nobility called into question those honorable men who recognize the sanctity of blood will excluded from the dance, which is the warrior's right, and thereby will the dance become a false dance and dancers false dancers. And yet there will be one there always who is a true dancer and can you guess who that might be? You aint notin. You speak truer than you know. But I will tell you. Only that man who has offered up himself entire to the blood of war, who has been to the floor of the pit and seen the horror in the round and learned at last that it speaks to his inmost heart, only that man can dance. Even a dumb animal can speak. The judge set the bottle on the bar. Hear me, man, he said. There is room on the stage for one beast and one alone. All others are destined for a night that is eternal and without name. One by one they will step down into the darkness before the footlamps. Bears that dance, bears that dont.

Everybody dont have to have a reason to be someplace. That's so, said the judge. They do not have to have reason. But order is not set aside because of their indifference. He regarded the judge warily. Let me put it this way, said the judge. If it is so that they themselves have no reason and yet are indeed here must they not be here by reason of some other? And if this is so can you guess who that other might be? No. Can you? I know him well. He poured the tumbler full once more and he took a drink himself from the bottle and he wiped his mouth and turned to regard the room. This is an orchestration for an event. For a dance in fact. The participants will be apprised of their roles at the proper time. For now it is enough that they have arrived. As the dance is the thing with which we are concerned and contains complete within itself its own arrangement and history and finally there is no necessity that the dancers contain these things within themselves as well. In any event the history of all is not the history of each nor indeed the sum of those histories and none here can finally comprehend the reason for his presence for he has no way of knowing even in what the event consists. In fact, were he to know he might well absent himself and you can see that that cannot be any part of the plan if plan there be. Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, original 1985 edition, pp, 341-342

Don't know what they're counting. Won regular season football and baseball. Went farther than any SEC team in CFP. That's two out of the big three. Criminal sooners suck worse than ever. Aggies gonna suck as long as Trev runs the show.

Did you track the Texas Baseball NIL last year? Pierce had to split it across the whole team just to ensure that none of the players had to pay tuition and all had room and board.

Misery's only 3 wins in conference was its sweep of aTm. Will the coach return with such mediocre results with such a star studded roster?

What an inaugural run in the SEC. To think, the consensus a year ago was that we would be competitive in every sport other than baseball in our first season of SEC play.

My issue with Pierce last year is that he badly mismanaged the roster. There were key players that weren't healthy coming into the season and he knew, or should have known, that was a potential issue.

RPReplay_Final1747537621.mov Where would we be if Flores makes this routine play? Pierce beats Schloss… I know there’s another game after this, but blah blah it’s fun to think about. Can CDC fire Pierce and hire a coach Pierce just defeated in an upset? I’m thinking no. Flores makes an error and (dominos, dominos, dominos) Texas wins the SEC Title, is the 1 Seed and has über recruits lining up to come and skip the draft… 😮‍💨

I doubt aggy has 9 championships in all of their years since they have been in SEC

Great series win! OU SUCKS!🤘🏼

Hell yeah! I guess we are SEC ready. Ha ha ha. Does anyone know how far back second place was?
