Find me a QB that can win games 10 games and a bowl game and I will let you dump a bucket of ice water on me

Can we settle on a bowl game win at least for now? I could just do cold water. not a bucket of ice water.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. CYA!

Nice. Dumbass4Bama was one of the biggest pus*y trolls this board has ever seen. Dude vanished for an entire year after his premature strutting about Gregg Marshall blew up in his harelipped face. If you're going to troll, at least don't be a cowardly little bitch.

Prove what? I take positives from football last year beating OU and Baylor, a recruiting class that moved from 35 to 10 in a matter of days. A basketball team that finished in the top 25 and having a Division 1 record of beating what, 5 top ten teams? that was a lucky toss at the end of the game. Lucky Lucky Lucky. Maybe we should not of been in that predicament, but considered our biggest comeback this year was 10 and tonight we were down 16 and pulled it tight. It was a lucky shot. I'm not going to comment on baseball because well, Augie is old and needs to go. I firmly believe we don't suck. We are on the upswing.

I agree with everything you said, but I totally understand his frustration. An athletics program with the unsurpassed advantages that Texas has should never suffer a 6+ year run of mostly sucking runny sh*t in every major sport like what we've been experiencing this decade -- ever. It's beyond goddamned tiresome at this point.

Something about this place has long seemed to just breed complacency and laziness. Hopefully we're finally getting away from that toxic, self-satisfied culture now that the track coach ex-AD and some of his coaches are finally gone. I'm optimistic that, as you say, we're on the upswing. It would be nice if all of our advantages could be paired with a culture that showed some, you know, f*cking hunger and drive. I think we're getting there. But, f*ck, I'm ready for us to goddamned get there already.

(Apologies for using your post as a springboard for that rant.)

It's 2:29 am and I have drank way to much and I met more then 1 45 year old tonight and by god if clob was here it would be a ménage á trois tonight!

We don't suck in basketball, and we didn't get embarrassed. West Virginia got embarrassed. Michigan State got embarrassed. Both of those of course higher ranked and got throttled by lower 14 and 15 seeds. Getting upset by miracle half court buzzer beater is not embarrassing. That's march madness.

We knew we wouldn't be great in Shaka's first year. Too many knuckleheads still on this team. Even with that he took some career knuckleheads, and turned them into players. I think he exceeded expectations this season. The future is very bright.

Damn it Metcalf don't ever let anyone call you an old f you a cool guy and I'm intoxicated!

Hook 'Em

 

[Metcalf #2]

Lol. Yeah I think you just said you could have a threesome with clob. You must be intoxicated. Lmao

 

[HornsRuleU]

It was a tough first-round match-up. UNI isn't great, but in every measurable that correlates strongly to winning, they were slightly better than Texas. Our SOS was far better, but that was it.

As a Horn, I had to pick Texas for my bracket, but the numbers warned me not to. (All 3 times I ignored the numbers and went with my gut, the numbers ended up being right. Yale had better numbers than Baylor, and SFA's were superior to the Mountaineers'. And then UNI, with better numbers, beats Texas.)

 

[oldhorn2]

yeah...I am pissed, but I am not down over this. Our guys never quit and they just got beat in the end by a no brainer. If Shaka can recruit well I think our future is bright.

Robo------

Umm, sooooo you seem like a really nice guy and all.... but I'm not that "into" dudes-- not that I'm judging you or anything bro---- you do what makes you happy my friend. And if getting pegged by hot 45 year old chicks while your Internet buddy watches is your thing, I KNOW Metcalf will be down for it.

 

[Metcalf #2]

Clob, I would tell you to kiss my ass, but your sick ass would take it literally. Lol

Now I have to explain what I meant by it. Saying if it was you in the situation it would of been you and them. Not me...does that clear it up? And there is a slightly little age difference between me and them. I was a respectful young gentleman and thinking with the right head. I wasn't trying to be like Dan Bilzerian last night!

Somebody's crushing on Clob.

 

[CAHorn47]

If we had even the semblance of a post offense last night, we would have won this game handily. An effective pick-and-roll game was there all night with Zay's penetration.

 

[clob94]

Clob, I would tell you to kiss my ass, but your sick ass would take it literally. Lol

Did you take a shower this month?

 

[clob94]

Dan Bilzerian! It's funny you bring that dudes name up. A former Horn that played with (dude is 6'6 and was in the league for years) Said he met that choade in Vegas a while back. Said he almost accidentally stepped on him. He's like 5'5 apparently.

 

[Metcalf #2]

No that was last month.,

 

[clob94]

No that was last month.,

Damnit!



Gotta pass then....

Lol

I'm not sure what you're looking at, but advanced stats had Texas better across the board. But sh*t happens. You can't give up 27-4 runs and hope to beat anybody.

5'5? Lmao have you seen his twitter? I picture you like that lol

True enough, BBR.

I'm looking at my own spreadsheet. I don't trust KenPOM, etc., except for things like SOS that I'd rather not have to calculate.

Without giving away my entire method--assuming I have a store to give away--UNI was (slightly) better than Texas in every stat that correlates to winning individual games, such as:

Positive correlations:
+scoring margin: Texas 3.3, UNI 5.2
+APG: Texas 11.5, UNI 11.9
etc.

Negative correlations:
-opponents' PPG (scoring D): Texas 68.1, UNI 67.5
-PFPG: Texas 20.8, UNI 15.1
etc.

The numbers suggested a close game with UNI winning, which in my gut translated into Texas going on (to lose) against Texas A&M.

This is just my first, crude attempt. There were many weak correlations that I ignored, for the sake of time. I haven't taken it NEARLY to the level I have with predicting football game outcomes.
