ahh, on topic. thank you.

Texas up 3 with 2 1/2 left. TV timeout, when they return, Augustin at the line for two.

Texas on a 5-0 run after the TV timeout! They lead 62-57 with 5 1/2 left, Kansas timeout.

57-57, 8 minutes left.

Texas 54 Kansas 53 11 left

who didn't know he was using steroids?

Texas 51 Kansas 48 15 minutes left

sounds like it was a pretty good one. i always like the 0-0 and 1-0 games.

Halftime: Kansas 42 Texas 38 Augustin 0-7 James 1-2 2 fouls, sat most of the first half Texas has to feel good about still being in this one. if those two players can pick it up in the second half, the horns have a shot to win this one.

final?

pretty respectable... looks like the coaches are letting the kids shoot tonight.

Kansas 35 Texas 33 Augustin still killing us.

Augustin is having another tough game. i've seen him take more bad shots his last 3-4 games than i've seen him take his entire career at texas. he's 0-6 tonight. abrams is on tonight, however, and texas is up 3 with about 8 minutes left. the refs have been hosing the horns a little bit. Texas 29 Kansas 26

man, that's good news. a week of regular practice should hopefully have him close to full strength for the silsbee game.

Texas leads 22-20 with 10 1/2 left. this is shaping up to be a heck of a game. It's on ESPN for anyone who didn't know.

i don't believe that this trade made them better. he'll offer a solution to their post problems, but only when he's not hurt or sucking wind on the bench. they gave up a heck of a player to get him, as well. if shaq comes out and starts playing well, you have to believe that he was tanking in miami on purpose, which would be a real shame.

yup, i'm glad to see he's sticking around...

at the 15 minute mark of the first half, Texas leads 15-12.

i heard burrell might see some playing time tonight, is that the case?

he's worthless. i just spent 3 months rent getting him a hip surgery. he eats everything in sight. he farts. he's great!

Fans and opponents of HJ, if you have something to say about the hecklers after a game, come here to say it. Someone brought up the fact that most HJ game threads end up turning into hawk heckler threads. hopefully this will keep that from happening. I will be watching all HJ game threads, and will delete any comments about the hecklers unless it is also somehow relevant to the game itself. I will also monitor this thread, and if the trash talking starts getting like it does on some of the other threads, comments will be deleted and warnings sent out. I'm not trying to be a jerk about this, it's just that the hecklers are probably the most debated subject on the basketball forum. while this is great for the forum itself, it's important that we follow the rules and abstain from insulting each other. with that being said, have fun!

Absolutely! The Hawks have had to learn how to score, and win, without his presence in the lineup. Although their games have been closer in the second half of district, they've found a way to get the job done without him. They've developed into a team that's good enough to make a run in the playoffs without him, and now that he's coming back, he might just be the last piece of the puzzle that helps them get all the way back to state.

Oldtimer, here's the reason this turned into a hawk heckler thread. i would've deleted it had i seen it sooner, but it would be pointless now. The thing is, these types of comments seem to pop up in every game thread about HJ. Of course you're then going to have a bunch of defensive responses from the hecklers. I'd suggest this to you. if you're tired of this sort of thing, start your own "hawk heckler" thread. give the folks a place to vent their frustration or heap their praise. I'll make you this promise... if you'll do that, i'll delete any future post about the hecklers in a game thread unless it's harmless (i.e. the hecklers were out in full force and the hawks played great!)

i couldn't find them on the roster... but it might not be updated or something, or i might have been at the wrong navarro college website, as there appeared to be several (although i'm pretty sure i had the right one). hopefully someone will give us some information.

Ozen should take this by a decent margin, say maybe 4-1. i think with their wins over HJ and Silsbee, and with much improved results against the traditional powers of the district, ozen is establishing themself as the best of the worst. it might not be the greatest honor to have, but they've come a hell of a long way. i know that when i was playing against them a few years ago, suggesting that they'd ever have a shot at 5 or 6 district wins was laughable. this year they might just have the team to do it.
