Podcast #26: The One Where Trips Vasherized Run The Mikan Drill
We're lucky to have Kevin under the Barking Carnival Big Top to talk Texas hoops as he knows his hoops inside and out. Kevin has his own college hoops blog at March To March and he's adding contributors there so be sure to check that out as the roundball action heats up.
Kevin and Vasherized sat down last night with a bottle of Balvenie 12 year old Doublewood Single Malt Whisky to discuss the upcoming Texas Longhorns Hoops season.

I feel better about our podcasts now.
Seriously, nice job guys.

The thing that I like most about what you bring to the podcast is your electric energy.

Sailor clearly put a Nitrous Oxide filter on my audio feed. You can’t even tell I pounded four LOKOs right before the call.
Free tote bag for whoever makes it to the end without dozing off.
Texas basketball. Catch the excitement!

Ha! I just texted V and KB that they should have gotten Brit Hume on there to liven things up.
Info was solid as always. Best duo since Rick Martel and Tito Santana. Vash as Martel because that guy used to spray a perfume mist then walk through it. KB as Tito because he’s from El Paso.

I was wondering where the podcasts had gone this week…
Good stuff. I love all of them.

We gave you fake cell phone numbers but Fernando in McAllen appreciates your effort.

Personally, I loved Vasher’s low energy sarcasm and Kevin’s general inability to read it.
But yeah, good preview. I’m excited for this team with relatively low expectations.

Low energy sarcasm. Might have to patent that. Thanks engr.

“…..and Kevin’s general inability to read it.”
The funny thing is, those guys are close. It’s like doing a porn scene with somebody for the first time. They’ll be fine, they’re just feeling each other out.
I expect them to both over correct for the next one and get totally hammered.

I enjoy porn analogies almost as much as I enjoy vasherized’s low energy sarcasm.

That podcaast was as exciting as an episode of House.

KB, you don’t like:
Girl walks down steps and out the door. Watch her as she bustles her way threw thick human traffic on the sidewalk. But wait, she starts to get dizzy and the other pedestrians start to fade in and out of focus. She drops her purse, spilling random broad necessities everywhere. She starts to sweat and then, gasp! she faints right then and there.
Next scene: House playing the harmonica while dismissively ignoring the gender/race kaleidoscope of younger doctors. The skirt, the foreigner, the black dude. As they prattle off possibilities that could have caused the mysterious illness, House still practices his new found hobby. Afterall, she just has pneumonia. Until, UNTIL, the black guy says she has a rash on her ass only associated with a tribe in S. America that has rarely had human contact. House orders a litany of tests.
The next few scenes involve the sickly chick flatlining, throwing her guts up, bleeding out of her ears, eyes, and nose, and a pill popping House breaking every single rule the hospital has.
Then, because this story line is so damn tragic, House limps into either his lady boss’ office and chides her about her sex life, or runs mental circles around the socially retarded oncologist, Wilson.
After diagnosing the patient with everything from Kawasaki’s to arthritis, he finally stumbles on to the correct illness and prescribes the perfect cocktail to heal her.
I recently had the flu and watched three episodes in a row. It may be the most formulaic show ever.

I read your title and had bad flashbacks of my high school basketball coach screaming at the top of his lungs, “Left hand, right hand, left hand, right hand, faster Davey!!!!!!”

I wonder when Sailor will get folks on the BC staff involved on the podcasts, who like, you know, like, have broadcast experience?
by srr50 on Nov 5, 2010 6:14 PM CDT reply actions
Sailor,
Should I mention the floor burns we got from practice or I went to a Catholic High School?

I’ll go out on a limb and comment on the content over the form.
I think Dexter Pittman moving on is a plus for this team. Aside from struggling to play over the rim he slowed down our pace. He only averaged 10-6 and got double digit boards maybe 3 or 4 times all season. He has great hands and good footwork but still needs to lose more weight so he can be mobile on the court. With a better surrounding cast he would be better, but you can say that about most anyone. We didn’t have the pieces to surround him to maximize what he could bring, and he wasn’t a dominant enough force to just impose his will.
I think this season goes better for us for one reason, Gary Johnson. He is taking the leadership role on this team and I see him as a great locker room guy. Damion James seemed to be moody, though I do appreciate him carrying the team out on the floor. He didn’t look like he commanded the team. Pittman certainly didn’t command the team. There seemed to be quite a division between the seniors and the freshmen, certainly in style of play. Johnson will set the tone for hard work and aggression.

First time listener. Long time caller. I have two questions. No, make it three:
- Penders: wig, weave, or real?
- Are we headed toward Rich Rod territory? In other words, are we going to now start every season 17 – 0 only to face plant and flame out?
Thanks, I’ll hang up and listen.

Exactly, Lance.
I model my oratory after Zach G’s awkward pauses.
