HookedOnTF

We'll still need some juice from our offense, esp w injuries. I'm hoping for Jonah to score at some point this weekend! Kendall watched us in person and if he+staff still want to make us earn it vs Georgia, that's ok!

Nor Baker over Burrow, at minimum. Would Sooners even pick him at #1?!

Georgia bats are for real unfortunately. But Pig at the Baum is still worse than Dawgs at the Disch.

KU is instructive for several reasons. 1) portal bets might not pay off (Dickinson as a defensive liability) 2) hall of fame coaches can make a difference late in the game - but still need players to execute (losing KJ was the final straw) 3) out atheleting with nba talent is preferable, but not if they don't gel into a rotation with consistency (ku has lost uncharacteristically recently) 4) the tourney is a crap shoot On top of this - it will be interesting to see which schools put basketball first in their their $20M budget. Is it a boon for teams like 'Nova? How much will Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, UNC, UCLA commit to football? Will the outside $ still buy a roster on top of the school payroll budget? All of that makes it difficult for me to have year in year out expectations for our soon to be homerun hire to meet a top 10 / second weekend standard.

Busting out the wrts... just need bk to show the dance moves exiting a swag copter to complete the scene

Will Wade: second best coach in the ACC?!

I've been just checked out enough to have not known about Tony Bennett. 55 years old, huh... Too bad for Russell Springmann, best wishes to him. Very happy for Jai, surprised he wasn't higher on our rumor list. Neptune: next worst thing to interim is anointed? Next - hopefully RT gets a gracious send off, no ill will, Elite 8 and all... I hope we are all wowed at the outcome and please please please let it include an offense that doesn't nap periodically during games.

Personally I'd like to see less disparaging comments about RT, making him a dead man walking. He knows UT expectations, he's said so. CDC will evaluate the product on the court, without fan complaints at near the same levels as parking problems and bathroom lines. If there is an upgrade to be made, it will be done, at the earliest time feasible. Meanwhile we should enjoy this team which may end up no worse off than those coached by Self, Calipari, Few, etc if the metric is second weekend. Or Barnes, Beard and Shaka for that matter. Or Buzz and Porter. March Madness is an exciting exercise in futility. In 36 seasons games, Kelvin Sampson has more NCAA violations than elite 8 appearances (3). UH has as many championships as Texas. Good luck RT and team!

So on second thought, was Sean Miller failing his interview? Or just making himself available sooner?! The gift that keeps giving

The gift that keeps giving

I hope he becomes a franchise QB, wins a super bowl, and earns a gold jacket. However, if he ends up carrying a clipboard (no shame in that), there are so many better options than the Jones fun house. Even cities with lousy winter weather that have great fans, a plus owner/culture, and a title shot could be appealing for a decade.

Though it's early for good polls, that BA 10-12 could be bulletin board material!

One sided rivalries are tiresome. I harbored no ill will will towards Tech until their Beard / Texit irate 8 antics. May the 4 corners schools keep them in their place in the B12. This game means no more or less than the non con matches vs UW, OkSt, Louisville, etc. Maybe even less than Texas State at this point!

I will be ok with Bo going to the Cowboys in 2 years.

My initial reaction: how groundbreaking would it be to NOT have stars?! But I know most want it. The only question then is... does the order of the namrs matter? I.e. it's OTF's projection of Sark's big board? That would be better than ranking by stars...

While Gerry would kill it at any job, many peoole think he's holding out to replace buzz williams

Very bearish take but even if he only goes 2 years and we bag a natty, who's going to complain? (That's rhetorical!) If he's feeling it for 4 years, that's a fair tenure for any assistant, and with some luck, we're contending for multiple titles. Your floor of a demotion in a year is highly unlikely.

Is Royal in that top 5 tier? And by extension, what about Jai - not a HC but knows the college game at blue bloods...

Lol, Anwar scooping himself in a matter of hours. 'Breaking' is one way to say 'stumbling upon'! Glad he credited Bobby here.

He who saves his program does not violate any NCAA rule

Maybe Banks will do more recruiting with McEndoo on for TE? What we also need from the new RB coach+Flood/Banks/McEndoo is to convert short yardage and not put the ball on the turf, just sayin'.

A great 11 vs 3 seed preview matchup today. Will we advance to the sweet 16?!

I'm glad to hear a reclassification that is a reduction.... in time

Hardcore: do you feel like going down to the pokey to tell him people are pulling for him?! Drop the drugs and social media and find a small school to get right. Know a minister who visits prisons? Hopefully rock bottom flips a switch for him.

You guy don't know what you're paying for if you're not kidding. Msm (thamel, aas...) is a whole different game, and the 9.95 poser vultures who feel the need to be first - often at the expense of being wrong or undermining the program - suck worse than 0u. OTF is all class from people who bleed orange.
