Let’s go Winter! Show us what you got

Not since last year

I just asked if there was going to be a thread. 😂 anxiety meds are down the hatch and I'm ready to go🤘🏿

Is there no Sam Houston v Texas thread?

I hate this with every ounce of my body.

The Longhorns will send Michael Winter to the mound for a midweek tilt against the Bearkats. The game is being streamed on SEC Network Plus.

It about the NCAA laying the hammer on student athletes betting not about any particular team.

Already 68 teams add 4 more playin games =76

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

Agree! And don’t get me wrong, I love TX WBB & love watching the really good womens’ teams play each other. Still way too much talent disparity in womens’ college basketball. Now they’re giving us even more unwatchable games in March.

The full faith and credit clause is a federal statute that requires federal courts to give credit to state court decisions. The Mississippi court entered the injunction first, so it was decided there first. If a federal case is brought in Texas it would be precluded by the prior Mississippi decision under the doctrine of res judicata—which means it has been decided in latin. If you didn’t have this rule, nothing would ever be final in the law in cases between the same parties. You would have endless lawsuits in different states and federal courts trying to get a different outcome. The case was between Chambliss and the NCAA. The NCAA is who decided eligibility, so someone else wouldnt have standing to sue Chambliss to prevent him from participating in Texas. Unsure if that answers your question but our country’s legal system is a balance between state and federal law known as federalism. There is no chance the case can be relitigated again. Chambliss is clear.

It took a minute but looking back I see that autocorrect was not my friend. I definitely should have proofread before posting

Water it down even more!!! This is so dumb. Making the tourney now is like getting a car from Opera.

Decisions such as these are based upon facts and opinions. Perhaps a Texas judge feels that he should not have been granted permission to play another year and rules against Chambliss. Granted this would have to go through the state rungs of the legal system before it would even be considered. I’m ignorant to the finer details of the legal process and was just wondering if there is a world where this could happen. I know this is apples to oranges but I view it similar to how gambling, speed limits and drinking ages are different in each state.

Yea…ok 🤦🏻‍♂️

Appears headed that way

Executive orders are only effective in the Executive Department of government. There are no legally recognized "small activist judges," whatever they might be.

Why would any judge condemn him to writing illegibly?? 🤔 It was a state court decision that preempted any Federal Court decision.

You threw out some crazy Latin term and now I have to do some research. I’m not sure at what level the injunction was passed at but my thoughts are if it is a state court and not a federal court that decision would impact that state but a different state could possibly rule differently. I’ll have to find some time to do some reading and see if I can make my head hurt more. 😂

No thats this year where they miss Utah and BYU, and get Houston and ASU at home. ASU lost Sam Leavitt and Rakeek Brown too.

.

I don’t think that’s right bc think of all the EOs that get stopped by small activist judges. I think when a ruling with a national entity, ie the NCAA, it’s all encompassing. I am in no way shape or form a lawyer but that feels like it has to be the case.

I’m not an expert in this in anyway but it seems like that would it could be the case.

Glad that I'm not the only W fan in the building. I watched Rori with Washington the other day and defensively she looked great, but offensively it looked like she is trying to find her footing. There's two extra spots on the roster with the new CBA, I have my fingers crossed she grabs one. Washington seems to be going with a youth movement so we'll see.

My son is a 3rd year baseball player at UTRGV. I am hoping he will get a 5th year through this deal. His HS class (and first two years of college) was so messed up by Covid. The amount of transferring between schools was crazy. Those '23 kids were competing against 24-yr olds in many cases. We rightly talk UT sports here every day. The reality of college sports for schools outside of the P4 conferences is a completely different animal than what we discuss on Coffee and Football, etc. I think bowl games are a great example. As a Texas fan, I see the argument for eliminating the "meaningless" bowl games. As the parent of an athlete who might get to play his last game in one of those bowl games (if he played football), and get some swag from it, I disagree completely. I would guess that 60% of college athletes aren't getting a penny of NIL, and many of them aren't even on scholarship. Try telling that kid that the game is meaningless and he shouldn't get a chance to play in it. No argument that those games are completely inconsequential to UT.
