Wow.  Mack obsessing over Longhorn basketball too.   He has really moved on fellas!

The team is just young.  Shaka will get them there eventually.  Back to back blowout losses is no big deal.  

 

The Ags aren't very good either if that makes you feel better.  They miss JJ bad!  Our point guard play is brutal.

Doesn't make me feel better.  Rooting for the Ags in basketball.  You guys will have 2 of our kids next year.  

As for us, I'm not surprised and was told before the season that they would take some early lumps.  But you're right, Shaka will get them there eventually.  That's one hire I have absolutely no doubts about.   You have to trust the process.  

We have two blowout losses, I'm not the least concerned and still believe we will be fine by the end of the year.  Ags lose by 2 at home against USC and some Ags are freaking out saying they aren't a tournament team.  We call it basketball IQ.  You are correct that y'all need a PG badly and JJ getting hosed by the NCAA took a team that could go sweet 16 or deeper and probably turned them into merely a qualifier.  But they will be fine and are also young.  I would bet a hefty sum the Ags make the tournament.

He will. Very young team.

Aren't all of the good teams in college basketball young?  1 & done has a lot to do with it.  You can't make the same excuses in basketball that y'all do for football.  

 

Kentucky's roster includes 7 freshman, 4 sophomores, & 3 seniors.  They start 4 freshman and a sophomore.  They seem to have a pretty good team this year for a bunch of young kids.

There are no one and done guys at UT.

Shaka did not have one and done guys at VCU. 

They should get better.

Shaka will be fine.  He's a rock star who has a great understanding of the game.  He signed 2 Mickey D's AAs this year alone.  I would put him in the top 10 college coaches the kids want to play for and possibly top 5.   I will put it this way, he's closer to 5 than 10.   Texas will be a perennial top 10 program very soon.  I will be back to tell you I told you so.

    • Whatever happened to educating people so that they don’t go off the deep end pursuing an incident that shouldn’t be political in the first place? Seems everyone is looking for their “trigger”moment. The dumbing down of America has taken its toll. Anyone who would hold this against her is doing so out of spite and for political gain. Said people need to be ignored.
    • You won’t get an argument from me that this won’t hurt her nationally but I don’t think this will hurt her in SD or even an appointment in a Republican administration.  I’m sure she saw backlash from some, apparently not from folks like you and me, which is significant, but like I said, I appreciate the honesty.
    • Appreciate the confidence.  Why don’t we see how this works out for her.  Going great so far.  She MIGHT be able to get re-elected in South Dakota next election, but if a good candidate runs against her in the Republican primaries she may be in trouble.  I don’t think there’s a chance in hades she gets the VP nomination, and if for some reason Trump is dumb enough to give it to her, his chances of winning are probably over.  On a positive note, maybe DeSantis gets it now?  If they win and do a decent job then we’d have a VP ready to run for president in four years with a good shot of winning.  
    • I honestly don’t have an issue with it.  I grew up around livestock.  We had a neighbor lose nearly 30 animals in a 3-week period before they caught the dogs doing it. Those dogs needed to die.  I was there when my uncle killed a dog that was eating his chickens… didn’t bother me. If one of my dogs ever bites one of my kids it’ll be dead.  Immediately.  But some things are better left unsaid, and probably 90% of the country loves dogs, with only a small fraction of them being able to relate to why she did what she did.  
    • If only she was as politically savvy as you. 🙂
