  1. Man, if only Lamar would hire an AD like Sally Boy, they might actually compete! Oh wait…

    Uh Oh!

    By almost every quantifiable metric, he’s the worst president of the last 75 or so years, probably longer. He did some nice things in the Middle East but the economy was the worst it has been since the Great Depression. His biggest flaw was hiring the help. As a person though, it’s an even farther divide in my opinion. The other way.

    Yes he may have been the worst president of my lifetime. He was also easily the best ex-president. No one did more good with their time after being in office than that guy. If I could bet on one ex-president for sure being in heaven, it’s that guy.

    Trump long has ties to Epstein. He’s definitely traveled with him, we just don’t know if he’s been to the island. And I’m just as confident there have been plenty of Dems on those flights as well. Trump being a perv shouldn’t surprise anyone. Dude has given off perv vibes his whole life until he “became a Christian” right about the time he wanted to lead the country. Likewise, hair-smelling Joe Biden is creepy as hell too. The only president of my lifetime I would confidently say wasn’t a perv was Carter. And he might have been the worst in office. But also probably the finest man we elected. I tend to think W is a pretty solid guy as well. The rest of them I definitely wouldn’t trust around my daughter.

    Those with TDS and TWS (worship) amuse me equally. Ted Cruz doesn’t dine at my house and I’ve never met the man. But someone close to me who often entertains him and others like him will tell you, and has been nicely telling the rubes naively hoping this goofy theory is true, that it assuredly is not the case. But I get why you would want it to be.

    Let’s see. Elon donated almost $300 million in the last election. The bill they are arguing about (allegedly because Trump is back to spending money like a drunken sailor in a cathouse) also cut heavy subsidies for EV manufacturers. Someone remind me how Elon made most of his money? C’mon fellas, we don’t need Sherlock to solve this riddle. And Elon for as brilliant as he undoubtedly is, apparently didn’t do much research. This man has a history of stiffing people, even when it’s in writing. He should be pissed at himself for thinking a handshake/ wink wink deal was fool proof.
  7. Very similar. Worse for Hickman though, he was replacing back-to-back Hall of Fame coaches. But replacing any HOF coach has got to be tough, and Sigler is a lock for that. Good news for Coach Brown is he will have two of the best assistants you can find sitting beside him.
  8. I’m probably the only one this fascinates but there are no subjects on this website that move the needle more than WOS football and Silsbee basketball. Good luck Coach Brown!
  9. Sells was MVP for the 7th year in a row 😉 I’m joking but it seems like it. Not many have been that prolific for 4 years. Braelon Bush recently was but obviously was on much deeper teams, especially his first 3 years at Silsbee.
  10. Well, maybe we will steal the last one 😡 By the way, my favorite Buddy Garrity season is NBA season 😉 ☘️
  11. Nostradamus over here 😉 Were any Hogs injured while fighting at the bat rack?
  12. Can someone give me an update? Is Texas really struggling now that they are in a real league?
  13. One of the best Final Fours in terms of excitement of all 3 games I can remember.
  14. So happy for this young man. All kids in his position dream of playing in the NBA and he certainly achieved that dream. But unlike most of us, these guys have a much, much shorter period of time to monetize their talents. Seems like he has figured out that he has a chance to make generational wealth playing in the second best league in the world, where he was the best player in the league this year, on their most high profile franchise. And like Marbury, seems there is a signature shoe in the works as well. Good for Junior!!!
  15. After the Sweet 16 game, I was thinking Bama might be peaking at the right time to win it all, especially the way they were shooting the ball. But you are 100 percent correct, Duke put on a clinic defending the perimeter, about as well as I’ve seen. I’ve never loved the way Houston defends, especially the deeper they get. Just seems susceptible to being exposed by elite guards, especially ones with length. But that’s why they play the games I guess.
  16. Well, I definitely like those picks. Florida was my choice going in because I couldn’t tell how good Duke was because of how down the ACC was this year. But after what Duke’s did to Alabama, especially defensively, they seem to be the team to beat for me.
  17. I agree. I don’t get that move either. I think A&M is clearly the better job, although the money thing isn’t necessarily true in this case because Maryland’s top booster is Under Armour founder and CEO Kevin Plank. As a guess only, I would be pretty confident their NIL collective would be higher due to him. Plank is not only a billionaire, he’s a Maryland hoops fanatic. In other news, apparently McCasland at Tech has now told A&M no thanks. In fairness though, that got me to thinking, are the top three basketball programs in the state now U of H, followed by Baylor/Tech? Tech’s facilities may be the best in the state. They definitely were imo before UT built the Moody.
  18. Let’s just say he didn’t get the job he was lobbying for behind the scenes, going so far as apparently calling it his “dream job.”
  19. I really like Buzz. Don’t know him but those I know who do, think he’s a great guy. Weird it’s the second coach Maryland has hired from TAMU. Thought it was probably a step up with Turgeon left, not so sure anymore. Rumors swirling the new guy will be Beard. If so, I think that’s a definite improvement coaching wise. In fact, imo (for what that’s worth), he’s one of the very best in the country.
  20. Just very odd behavior. Unless he is just trolling in which case spending time trolling Lamar athletics is also very odd.
