Seriously. What has this world come to when two altitude challenged people can’t exchange hard earned currency for a twirl? When midget wrestlers can’t get laid, then the terrorists have won.
Tragic to be sure. But this line is pure gold.

Autopsies are being performed on the two midget wrestlers, one of whom went by [...]

And the beat goes on for Rick Barnes and company. Daniels is a 6-7 ultra long wing from Woodland Hills, CA. Scout has him ranked #38 in the nation, and he joins an already stellar 2011 class with the likes of PG Myck Kabongo, SG Sheldon McClellan, and Combo Guard Julien Lewis. [...]

Games I really like are Texas-3 vs. OU, tOSU +6.5 vs. USC, Notre Dame +1 at Pitt, Baylor +7 at Texas Tech.
A couple of interesting double digit home dogs. Miami +10 at home vs. OU. Notre Dame +10 vs. USC.
Another game of interest. Texas -21.5 at [...]

Ole Carl saying CJ Henry is better than Sherron Collins ranks right up there with Shawn Williams being better than Jordan Hamilton. Ease up there, bra. Anywho…

What’s Wright with Nick Wright

Fast Forward to the 18 [...]

Look, I hate the NBA. But because of its ties to the college game, the draft is arm’s length enough for me to post on it. Kinda like the Rockets I suppose but that’s more local interest than anything else. Also I’d be remiss if I didn’t give credit to my true [...]

Rumors are swirling that Texas is going to get some scholarship relief in the form of a transfer. The information I got was that Harrison Smith would be transferring to a local mid major for immediate playing time, which would get Texas to the allowable scholarship limit with J’Covan Brown still tied up in [...]

Good read from Texassports.com
Here’s the transcript and my thoughts on each subject/answer.

On how this incoming class of perimeter players (Avery Bradley, Jordan Hamilton, Jai Lucas and Shawn Williams) ranks among past classes: Well, (Kevin) Durant and (D.J.) Augustin were pretty good now, but we will wait and see. Jai has been here and we have [...]

First of all, I’m pleasantly surprised with James’ return. I had heard some things early in the process that led me to believe Damion would come back to school especially if he didn’t get a first round grade. In recent days, however, it sounded more and more like the junior would settle for [...]

I was given a handsome budget to cover the NBA finals and this is all I could come up with.

Sorry Sailor, the shit’s unwatchable. So, with Damion James and Texas Basketball in limbo, and college football guru Scipio rehearsing a reenactment of the 2nd Punic War with other aspiring San Franciscan thespians, [...]

According to the only media entity intent on seeing USC punished for using its powers for evil instead of good. Could Floyd be the sacrificial lamb that takes the onus off of the football program? Or, is Tim Floyd just pissed off because he’s being thrown under the bus?

“Unfortunately, [...]

@BryanBennett brought up a point on this thread that I wanted to expand on.
Dogus will be be a perimeter threat with or without a credible jumper. This is why.
Imagine Balbay turning the corner on a pick and pop with Jordan Hamilton. Let’s think about it. Hedging forward (Hamilton’s man) slides out to allow [...]

A couple of interesting points made by the former UCLA head man.
First and foremost, and I agree with his assessment here, but he laments the new NBA combine format that focuses on individual drills and workouts instead of scrimmaging which places an emphasis on team skills and basketball IQ. I agree, and [...]

It looks like Brown is going to play this fall pending any surprise j’clearinghouse issues as he’s reportedly starting classes at Texas on June 9th according to a report

Or at least manipulated and massaged by officiating, watch the last 4 seconds of the Orlando vs. Cleveland game. Keep in mind, an Orlando win basically ensures the Magic will advance to the finals after taking a commanding 3 games to 1 lead.
The drawn foul by Lebron is asshattery at its best. The [...]

By a giant asian-american from Korea. Here’s the story from the AP.

It took Hong Mon Choi, no relation to KJ Choi I suspect, a mere 1 minute and 17 seconds into the match. Almost as much time as it took Jose to start fingering roided up ball players after he squandered his [...]

Keep in mind that after half a dozen disappointing bowl losses including a 55-10 national championship pantsing by USC and a loss to a full TD underdog LSU, Stoops is reduced [...]

I somehow missed this article earlier in the week, but apparently Katz in talking with some NBA folks, thinks Damion James will stay in the draft. See the second paragraph after the combine list.
I’ve heard that it’s always been first round or bust for Damion, but some out there feel that an early guaranteed [...]

For violating team rules. Speculation on the interwebs is that the violation is related to academics which in sooner speak means Patillo pimp slapped a professor or shanked an academic counselor.
Any loss of depth at forward sucks for Tiny Gallon. The portly freshman will now be forced into playing iron man basketball. [...]

No not the Island across the Atlantic you cheeky bastards. The fightin’ Ashley Judds of Kentucky.
John Wall pulled the trigger, figuratively of course, and decided on John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats over Duke and Frank Haith’s Miami Hurricanes. If you’re scoring at home, Wall’s addition makes it 4 five star players in a [...]

Seriously, I’m almost too afraid to watch. I’m fearful of what I may see on the tube. I’m fearful of the way I’ll probably act when I see it. Will I throw the remote? Will I make the kids run stairs? Kick the dog? I don’t have a [...]
