Hoops: Texas at South Carolina Game Thread
What is "full backing" in this instance? Lacking the top NIL budget in the game doesn't equate to not having proper support. One can quibble about vocabulary to describe offense, but all one needs to do is watch Texas on offense, watch higher level teams, and then one sees the difference clearly. Talent isn't the biggest issue.

True. Just don't believe that Texas isn't competitive in NIL or resources for basketball. Plenty of schools without anything close to Texas resources that are better.

In case you guys haven't noticed, Lakers can't win a game with fat boy Luka.

OT: Best (and most unexpected) musical collaboration you have ever heard
It was impromptu. Those were the songs they both knew and agreed to sing together. Only instrument was an acoustic guitar played by Isaak. Isaak tried to get White sing Abba's Dancing Queen, She said she knew it, but didn't think she could sing it well.

I saw them do Suspicious Minds, Wicked Game, Secret Rendezvous, Amazing Grace, Power of Love and Possession in a bar in Taos, New Mexico on Friday night, 13 March 1998.

My Top 10 QB's in the 2025 NFL Draft
Be surprised if Quinn doesn't look the best just throwing the ball.

Bubble watch
Reputation is obviously working in KU's favor, but they're not just consistently losing, they're consistently losing big. Sooner or later that has to catch up with them.

Hoops: College coaching carousel 2025
NBA has sucked for at least fifteen years. True, it's all offense now because of NBA rules and refs, but the college game isn't called the same. Need a guy who can recruit and motivate a bunch of prima donnas to move the ball and their bodies on offense rather than standing for threes and picks while also hustling on defense.

Comparing UT $250M Agreement with Nike to A&M’s Embarrassing $47m 5yr Extension with Adidas
It's basketball, not football. More games, more variation. I wish the Longhorns were better, but they aren't.

The Longhorns are a bubble team and A&M is sitting at a two seed. There's a reason for that.

A&M's men's basketball team is much better than the Horns. Apparel deals don't change that.

That seems about right to me. I'd probably change the order of the bottom four: 7 Missouri 8 Florida 9 South Carolina 10 A&M

Hoops: Texas vs. No. 2 Alabama Game Thread
I'm interested in this NIL talk that keeps popping up here. Are the people saying this relatives of players who think they aren't getting enough? Texas obviously spent well in the portal this past offseason.

Xavier Worthy with 8 rec for 157 yds and 2 TDs
The Quinn revisionist stance by many Texas fans is somewhat baffling. Quinn can make every throw. As Gerry always says, Sark doesn't take a QB that can't make all the throws. Quinn's inconsistency on longer throws comes from his inconsistent mechanics and footwork. Dropping the ball below chest level, not keeping his feet ready for all throws, trying to rely solely on his arm talent, etc. He could get away with that on short to intermediate throws, although he would sometimes sling the ball rather than driving it on those throws too, which led to some of his interceptions. At the beginning of seasons, his mechanics and footwork were better. As the season went along and he got dinged up, his fundamentals would slide. Scouts and GMs must decide if they think they can straighten out those things. If they think they can, then Quinn is as good or better than QB in this draft. Problem is, he hasn't done it yet. He is only 21, however.

I'm thinking Luka will probably pack in 15k-20K calories during the Super Bowl while Mavs fans think about what they're missing.

Every NBA champion is elite, That doesn't make them one of the greatest of all time. What are we talking about? Furthermore, I don't give a damn what a media outlet says.

Elite ain't one of the greatest all time. Get a grip.
