lawdog – on the topic of regression, this crew can’t compare with the senior seasons Thomas and Atchley put up. Something ain’t right in this scenario. Mason topped out his sophomore year and Pittman last year.
Wangmene is ‘Manos de Piedra’ redux, so that was really never going to work out.

I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball

I remember a pre-season game against Longview my freshman year (I played for Pine Tree, which is unfortunate enough to be in a district with Longview, Marshall, and Hallsville: Home of the Muckelroys). A 205 lb man with a goatee and tattoos threw my 130 lb ass into the air, and I turned over in time to see him catch a touchdown pass. Shortly thereafter, they really turned up the heat on us. They brought in a 6 foot 4 inch man shaped like a bowling ball who they hadn’t used before. He then proceeded to fall on our defensive tackles, which would’ve been less of a problem had my new friend from the wide receiving corps not been in the process of Donkey Konging the linebackers who were too dumb to flee.
Good times….

Then the UIL is wrong. They’re two different school districts.
Huckleberry said:
November 13th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Westlake isn’t a school district. I supposed you want them called Eanes Westlake.
Except Eanes isn’t a city and the UIL refers to pretty much every school by city. In cases where the school is in a school district that shares the name of a city they frequently use that district’s name even if the school is in a different city by physical location (e.g., Round Rock Westwood is actually located in Austin).
West Lake Hills Westlake? The school isn’t in West Lake Hills.
Rollingwood Westlake? The school isn’t in Rollingwood.
Westlake? There is no city or town called “Westlake” in the area.
Jesus H. Christ, people, I went to Austin High. Do you think I would call them “Austin Westlake” if there was a more sensical alternative? I thought I was the most pedantic asshole around here.

homesickalien said:

Asking this question sincerely and not to be a dick…
You say that UIL refers to every school by city. But you have all the Fort Bend schools (which is a county and a school district) as “Fort Bend Dulles” and “Fort Bend Clements”, etc.
Why wouldn’t they be listed as Sugar Land Dulles or Sugar Land Clements?
Again, not to be a dick, just interested in the methodology…

Huckleberry said:

Hence the “pretty much” every school by city. The FB schools are an exception, but I just go with what the UIL uses to avoid having to make decisions. Plus it makes it easier to get scores from the intertubes because that’s how the sites I tend to use list them.

Doesn’t Austin Westlake play in the same District with the 5A schools in Austin – i.e., Bowie, Crockett, Austin High, etc? I think McCallum and a couple of thers are now 4A.

Pflugerville and Bastrop are also in the 5A District with the Austin schools.
Pflugerville Connally, a 4A school is actually located in Austin.
Huckleberry said:
November 13th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Yes, they do.
ded – I’ve got that thing rigged not to show negative scores. The offense and defense ratings are so mismatched for some teams that negative point totals are predicted. The formula for Carroll vs. Claude yields a final of 98.6 to -39.9 if it’s not set to display 0 instead of negative results. Perhaps I should set that up to display the negative number as zero and then add half its absolute value to the winning team’s score. Basically there’s a predicted margin of 138.5 points for that game. Which probably isn’t unrealistic at all as Carroll’s freshman B team would still be scoring on dive plays near the end.
