  1. As long as 1939??? I love how Ags love to arbitrarily use the history argument. "That was 10 years ago!". But - "we WERE really good 3 years ago!" is fine. :rolleyes: One thing is certain, my school age kids experienced a Longhorn NC. None of us were alive when aggy won its only hardware. #WeRememberThingsSelectively /argument
  2. Please tell me the yell leaders don't wear pasties...
  3. I agree. That should be the model.
  4. Must be sad to have this as your brag on a banner season - but, but we were third in our division of our conference! As for top 5 finish, we spent a decade in the top 5 ;)
  5. [Hidden Content]
  6. That whole ship is a hot mess. Mark my words kool aid drinkers, the Sumlin era will not end well...
  7. [Hidden Content] My prayers are with him. Good guy who has been battling his demons for a long time.
  8. Why does that 2015 nonconference schedule look so familiar?
  9. Red Auerbach led the charge and signed Chuck Cooper at the same time. Red also hired the first African American coach in the NBA - Bill Russell. A couple of the many reasons that while Magic, Larry and Michael may be responsible for the sport's popularity, Red Auerbach is the most important figure in NBA history. RIP Earl Lloyd.
  10. Definitely agree. Big O averaged 25.7, 9.5 assists and 7.5 rebounds for his career. And his season where he averaged 30.8, 12.5 & 11.4 is maybe the greatest of all time.
  11. Yeah, Lunardi has had them in all along. I just think they are playing so poorly right now they would be in my first 4-8 out. I am usually of the mind I would rather have a mid major who is playing well in over a major conference school that is mediocre at best. But, if they get a win in their last 2 games and/or make some noise in the Big 12 tournament, I would change my mind. Especially since the Big 12 is probably right behind the ACC in conference strength.
  12. He plays AAU ball with the Gulf Coast Blue Chips out of Houston. Guess where the best player on his team is from? Silsbee :D I was told this by some Houston folks. I cannot confirm or deny...
  13. I can't imagine AP commanding squat on the market. Neither will Minnesota be able to in trying to deal him. Nobody is going to want to pay his contract with them. The Vikings biggest issue will be finding someone who will take a $15M cap hit for the upcoming season. He's also scheduled to make $15M and $17M in '16 and '17 but it looks like those years are past his guarantee. Translation: As I'm sure was contemplated when this deal got done, he ain't getting paid that kind of money in those seasons...
  14. From what I am told, they need to do much more than make the tournament. The AD wanted Barnes gone when he got the job and last year was the only year in a while his team actually over-performed. That, coupled with the Myles Turner signing made it impossible for him to do anything. But we are now back to what has been the case for awhile. While they don't have "S. Smart" on Barnes' office door yet, that is certainly the popular sentiment around Belmont. I don't know if Patterson is a Shaka fan or not and we know he's already made one hire that was contrarian to the BMDs.
  15. This is my thinking right now as well. Same things were said, and probably in stronger terms, about Patrick Mahomes last year. Son of a big league pitcher, he was never "supposed" to make it on campus at Tech. Except he consistently said he would be there. Then, his draft stock fell and a year later, he's the incumbent starter at Tech at the QB position and playing baseball for the Red Raiders too. It's wayyy too early to assume Murray will be drafted high enough to command big money in the MLB. I would bet he's in school come the fall if I had to make a bet.
  16. To be honest, I don't think I put them in as it sits right now.
  17. I tend to agree with this theory. And the more information that gets released seems to support it. It's one of those "offenses" that is easy to allege and hard to "disprove." And unfortunately, we live in a society that tends to forget it's not up to the accused to disprove anything. Thus, it's easy to mar someone's image based on an unsupported allegation. And this is just another factoid that seems to severely discredit this girl's credibility.
  18. I think he will still go #1. And I have a feeling he's going to have a good NFL career.
  19. Losing by double digits to Iowa state at home (granted a quality team). But read today that barring a sweet 16 finish, barnes is finished. In other words, he gone.
  20. I don't see how they aren't already in. And deservedly so.
  21. We're not sleeping with WVU. We allow them to use a guest bedroom. You know, STDs and all...
  22. Recruiting violations are not only encouraged in the $EC, they are a badge of honor...
  23. REALLY like what Kennedy has done with this team. I was not a believer going into this season but with the job he's done this year on the court and recruiting, count me in. Speaking of in, I would have A&M in the field now. Period.
  24. I bet that's the last UK game he gets this season. If someone beats em, great job. But you can't have some clown screwing up a potentially historic season due to a vendetta or incompetence.
