Around SBN: Austin Rivers Leaving Duke, Will Enter NBA Draft

Remember when this site used to be good?


Now it's just links to other sites and plugs for SB Nation YouTube clips. I'd like to see the drop off in page views since Jesus went behind a pay wall. The fact that Sailor Ripley is the only one posting FanShots gives some indication of the mass exodus of visitors. BON>BC, and it used to be the other way around. Just one man's opinion... feel free to give your own.

Well it is your opinion, incredibly flawed as it may be.
Now it’s just links to other sites and plugs for SB Nation YouTube clips

Seriously though, feel free to ignore all the other incredible contributions on this site such as, LHS, Nickel Rover, jc25, Scipio Tex, Vasherized, nordberg, nobis, srr50 and the rest of the community. Apparently you are blinded by the awesomeness of linked TEXAS ATHLETICS material for a TEXAS ATHLETICS SBN site. What a wild fucking concept that is, ya know?

I’d like to see the drop off in page views since Jesus went behind a pay wall.

Would you like to see the numbers before Jesus came to the Cosm as well? Because I’m sure they’re probably similar as to where they are now (pure speculation, btw). Does that mean you were unhappy with BC before Jesus and Eric wrote for the Cosm? If thats the case, then maybe you should leave because apparently the concept of enjoying multiple Texas-centric websites for different reasons just might blow your mind.

In a bad way.

In all seriousness, if you feel like this website doesn’t produce enough content for you, keep in mind that you have the power to do something about it. Fan shots, Fan posts….use them. Thats what they’re there for bro.

I know, right? Another wild fucking concept.

I understand that this was an opinion of yours, and I respect that. But also keep in mind that if that opinion is even mildly perceived vaginal rubbing, as it apparently is, you will be called out on it.

Cheers, and hook em!

Just one man's opinion... feel free to give your own.

I appreciate your opinion. I was wondering what was going on after a few weeks at the new site. Of course it is off season for football; and basketball, while being entertaining to watch, has been flirting with the NIT all season. I think next fall the activity here will be back up to where it had been. This is the most informative and most entertaining sports blog I have ever visited. I don’t bother with the others anymore.

Double...you're not serious, right?

That post was meant to be ironic…correct?

If not, lead me to another free site better than this one…there’s nothing close in my book…

I even like the new graphic formatting now that I have gotten used to it…

As for the Asset, Jesus, et al…can’t blame ‘em for monetizing their insights when it became possible…and frankly, I liked the CDO thingy a couple of days ago even better than some of the Asset’s last missives on BC…

BC content is still the best, and...

…I like the nested comments/replies. But I do think the layout is too busy. Like myspace, it kind of hurts my eyes.

In any case, don’t hate the haters, fellow barkers. As Clipper would say, gratitude is the guilt of the unworthy.

if your criteria for judging a site is page views

Then feel free to head over to BON and camp there with those guys. Most of us see the value in BC and even prefer this place to BON or other Horn sites that may grab more page views.

Here's the thing...

If you don’t like this site, don’t visit it. No need to come on it and vent to those of us who like it. You can vote with your mouse by going somewhere else, and let the rest of us enjoy it here.

Scipio Tex, Nobis60, Srr50, Longhorn Scott, Nickle Rover, John Kocurek, Jesus & Tipsy/Eric, GoBR and BFLT. I’ll read them wherever they are because I enjoy what they offer.

Exactly

Its not an “us” vs “them” type of thing. I like BON just as much as I like BC, 24, etc… I don’t care where I get my Longhorns fix, just so as long as I get my fix.

maybe you should be a member for more than three days and comment at least once before you start peeing on the walls, hm?

F*cking ingrates, trolls, drive-by whiners. If there’s been a dropoff at BC it ain’t the posts, it’s the rising number of wall-pissers.

BC is infinetly better than all other longhorn blogs combined.

OP can go fuck himself. BON sucks BTW. Actually, BON is ok, but Peter Bean is fucking insufferable.

by DogTown on Mar 11, 2026 9:34 PM CDT reply actions  

BC and BON offer different but both great things

BC has more of the funny yet enlightening writing. Hilarious points of view and writing while getting the points across.

BON has more of the straight to the point writing. A lot of analysis done over there too.

Either way, I’m a loyal reader and commenter on BOTH sites. Peter Bean is actually a great writer with unique viewpoints…I don’t always agree with him (rarely in bball) but I enjoy his writing.

by STLaw on Mar 11, 2026 11:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

PB insufferable?

That’s a strange opinion. I’ve worked with him on his annual magazine and definitely wouldn’t say that. He’s a great writer, dude, and is responsible for a lot of the quality Longhorn sports content the blogosphere has had to offer.

If you don't like it ...

… click.

OK, I have a different viewpoint than most folks here. I am a professional writer. I get paid to write, usually about a bunch of stuff I really don’t care about.

But I’ve also had opportunities to write about my passions. And to be an entrepreneur. That’s what these folks on the SBN sites are. They are entrepreneurs, willing to put it all out there, write about their passions, and try to make some scratch off of something they love.

It’s free to you, the reader. So frankly, when you piss all over someone’s hard work, passion, vacation days lost and sleepless nights … man, you suck.

Like I said, if you don’t like it, go elsewhere. There are plenty of other places to read about the Horns.

I, for one, would like to submit my humble thanks to the folks here at BC. Love it, guys. Keep it up. And sincerely, thank you.

Watch out, I bite.

Where did that come from. At the very least, LHS’s posts themselves make me come again and again and that is only one guy. And I have not even mentioned rover and scipio.

WOW…

I realize that my post above may not have been the most constructive post ever.

But come on, people. It’s not as if BC fired these people. Then complaining would be justified, but since this is a free site, take what you can get. And it’s a damn good site as it is. I miss the free inside reports too, but I understand why they moved. I’m sure everyone whining would have done exactly the same thing.

Agreed with double longhorn

It was bad luck for the Cosm/BC when Shuttlesworth, Tipsy, and their Cigars and Assets were sucked into the dark hole that is pay sites. I give props to Scip, Rip, and the rest of the boys for valiantly trying to keep the fires burning, but it can’t be easy to lose your biggest draw for readership. I started out with JS on Recruitocosm, then found the Carnival, and now I find myself almost exclusively looking to BON for my news. They seem to be a bit more dependable and credible. But hey, the more the merrier, so keep barking, BC!

I wholeheartedly support the classics archive idea,

but I’d hate for this post to be the impetus. Actually that would be pretty funny. A classics archive was one of things I was hoping for with the move over to SBN.

Don’t understand your perspective double_

There is no single website that is, or will be, the "one-stop" site for news and inside information on the Longhorns. BC is solid and has high-value contributors, as do others, but they all differ in many respects and stand on their own.

double_ , perhaps you live in a one-restaurant town, eat the same meal every day, or have only one book on your library shelves. Shopping the variety is too much for you. Fine. You expressed your opinion and you are drooling over the attention. Try reading your second book instead. Meanwhile, we’ll feel free…

This site is definitely less than the old one

Too busy
Too cluttered
Too little football
Too little discussion
Too few posters
Too boring

Too little football.

Seriously. It seems like every year from late January through April, the content on BC inexplicably shifts from being mostly about football to being almost all about basketbal. I definitely see a pattern developing. It’s almost as if it’s basketball season in the spring. Does UT even have a basketball team?

I can't believe that there are actually people that think Jesus made BC

They must be seriously new. BC has been the best longhorn site for writing on the internet long before Jesus was ever dreamed up. Anyone that doesn’t understand that Scipio has been cranking out the highest quality longhorn shit on the net for years and years must have bought their first computer 6 months ago.

Maybe I’m just getting old as hell in internet years, but somebody asked me the other day on the shag what Hornfans was. Only the best college site in the history of ever once upon a time when PHX, SLX, Scipio and many of the other people that contribute on this site were rocking it before the splintering of the horn sites into about 12 different places.

I know that the 360 boards came before that- but they were so unweildy and awful that it was a niche thing rather than to the masses.

Now I read that Jesus made BC and someone longing for the “good old days” when he was a johnny come lately (liked his stuff but that’d be like calling Colt McCoy old school or something- I guess that’s true if you were born in 1997 maybe).
