  1.   Not really.  Actually my point is the pride the Aggies seem to have over a 7th place conference finish and an 18th in the country ranking.  If Sumlin continues to get less with more, will he be on the hot seat?  As I know you know, we had a similar situation with Mack getting top classes who underperformed.  Kevin's young; maybe he will find the formula on the field.
  2. Does the insider known as ozensfinest know that Dr. Chargois was ready to resign a couple of weeks ago and some board members talked him out of it? 
  3. Yep, I double-checked.  Tied for 7th with mighty Vanderbilt behind Auburn, Alabama, Missouri, South Carolina, LSU, and Georgia. 
  4.   Umm, didn't they finish tied for 7th in the SEC?  Not fourth?  
  5.   +1   I don't know what more the kid could have done since offseason to elevate his draft stock.  The Wonderlic score is pleasantly surprising to me - goes to show you that you should never stereotype someone for anything.  I realize there are question marks with Manziel but isn't that true of virtually every kid?  I can think of two locks at QB over the past 15 years and Indianapolis drafted both of them (and were they really locks or kids most thought were locks and turned out to be what they were forecasted).  The more I see and read, the more I think this kid is going to be a star in this league.  I pray he stays healthy because he is poised to continue to be a superstar in this game for years to come.  And really, even as a Longhorn, it's been a long, LONG time since I've seen a QB as entertaining and exciting to watch as Johnny.  
  6. I like Murray and Mettenburger. To me, there is a lot more value to either one of them as a 3rd rounder than any of the so called top 3 as a #1 pick. I would also say that if the Texans go QB with that pick, it has to be Manziel. The other two aren't worth the risk and don't have the upside. Then again, I'm not an NFL GM so what the hell do I know. I'm not even particularly good at FF.
  7. Fair AND balanced!  :wacko:
  8. And, by the way, not taking anything away from UConn.  Quite the contrary, they stepped up and knocked them down and deserved the win.  Calipari was correct in his postgame explanation that their best chance to win was trying to get stops at the end - those guards weren't going to miss FTs.
  9.   My thoughts exactly.  I had been really impressed with the way they knocked down the freebies throughout the tournament.  In the same type games that went down to the wire (the last 5 anyway).  Even Randle was very proficient from the line.  I tend to agree with you BG; nerves, not fatigue, may have gotten the best of them last night.
  10. Puhlease. To put it another way, swap the FT percentages and UK wins by double digits. But I guess UConn was playing in a different game with a different pace. Again, this one is pretty simple to dissect. You can point to different things and be correct, but the FTs were GLARING.
  11. This one didn't take a rocket scientist to break it down.  UConn made their free throws, UK didn't.  Simple as that.
  12. Most lawyers have done pro bono work at some point in their careers.  As long as the athlete initiates the contact, there is no violation.  The other way around the rules is to simply bill the athlete for services rendered.  Like any service industry, there are some clients who just end up not paying...
  13.   The conversation has to be between Renfro and Green for the second spot.  If playing on the team is the only criteria, Neon Deion is a lock.  Best CB of all time in many people's estimation (including my own).
  14.   all of them that play at a program as high profile as A&M... no shortage of alumni attorneys willing to help the kids in the program
  15. Stop bragging Bigsanta!! ;) Root those Wildcats home please!
  16. I will answer the original question for our friend out in West Texas. What happened is they are playing for all the marbles on Monday. Go Big Blue
  17. How clutch is my boy, Aaron, Jr? Ice water in the veins, BG! #BBN
  18.   Thank you.  Was trying to find info on a school shooting there.  Explains why I couldn't.  
  19.   I agree.  Not to mention there are several potentially quality QBs that will be 3-5 rounders.  This is obviously a weak draft for QBs at the top of the board.  However, it is very deep at that position for the middle of the draft.  JMO.  
  20. 3 of the best 16 teams in the tournament, half of the Final Four. Not too shabby.
  21. Dang it! 😡 A buddy of mine bought a table; maybe it was more? I've got some investigating to do!!
  22. $50. You probably thought they said $15. Otherwise I got ripped off!!
  23.   And 2/3s of their NCAA Tourney qualifiers.  Tennessee also made a good run getting to Sweet 16 as an 11 seed.  Quality over quantity or did not enough SEC teams make the field?
  24. The 14u Southeast Texas Defenders (formerly Texas Ball Hawks) took down the Stars R Born Tournament in Houston for the second consecutive year. The Under Armour team beat Galveston Hornets by 23 and RL9 by 30 in pool play. Today they beat Brownsville Big Tymers by 14 in the Quarterfinals, Houston Hoops by 9 in the Semifinals, and Pearland Bulldogs by 14 in the championship game.
  25. I don't know about you Mr. BG, but the Cats are looking like a "team of destiny" to me. Never seen a bunch of freshmen who were so clutch. They seem to get better every game.
