I really can't take it anymore. If you must know how or why Baylor continues to play Earl "the Goat" Manigault to our sports-goggled, weekend warrior check out the last Baylor write-up.

Top 10 Defensive Lapses

Posted by Hank Dudek on March 11th, 2010 under Basketball

I started this with just under 8 minutes to go in the game. Otherwise this would have been a list of 50. 1.Ladarius Dunn backdoor on Mason at 7:50 in the 2nd Half. ”See Man” 2. Run-out Tweety Carter at 7:10 of 2nd Half. “Get Back MFER and stop the ball” 3. Backdoor Ladarius Dunn at 6:24 of 2nd Half on Mason. Basket good, foul on Mason to boot. Maybe “see your man, especially since you are guarding Dunn” 4.

Mack’s practice thoughts

Posted by Nickel Rover on March 10th, 2010 under Basketball

Football: I wasn't paying attention to the defensive line so somehow I failed to notice Mack's current leaning towards Sam Acho as your starting 3-tech in 2010. I had assumed Jones, Sacho, Okafor and Randall as the 4 best linemen but I forgot that Sacho was the one who moved inside last year in passing situations. He's really a sacrificing leader if he's willing to switch to tackle in his senior year when he's poised to

MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference

Posted by Scipio Tex on March 9th, 2010 under Baseball

Better known as Dorkapalooza. The conference was held on March 6th, headlined by luminaries like Rockets GM (and '00 Sloan School grad) Daryl Morey, author Michael Lewis, Colts GM Bill Polian, Mavs owner Mark Cuban, and ESPN Bah-stahhnophile Bill Simmons.

Around the Rivals

Posted by Nickel Rover on March 8th, 2010 under Baseball

Football: Boomer And Sooner dig into spring football with NateHeupel pausing to chastize Longhorn fans for our disappointment in an 8th seeded basketball team and our hopes for Garrett Gilbert. OU fan knows well that 2nd year quarterbacks never amount to too much... He rates their DE group as the "most proven in the conference" which is another way of phrasing how I would put it, "inevitably the 2nd best behind the Sacho and co." Their

Baylor Breakdown by Bob in Houston

Posted by Trips Right on March 7th, 2010 under Basketball

I thought this was too good to be buried in the open thread. Good stuff. Enjoy... --Trips OK, how dumb was I? I bought tickets to this thing back in November for a few reasons, one of which was that I might get see some clinching of some championship or whatever. Whatever. Instead, I get to watch probably the worst Texas defense since… hmmm… maybe Acie Earl and Iowa gave

    Loss in Waco = Win in Kansas City?

    Tonight the Bears get their second crack of the year at Kansas State. The first time we played K State in Waco, we managed to lose the game despite being more efficient than K State offensively. While K State did outshoot us by 9%, and outrebounded us 36-32,

    Thanks, St. Emilion.

    That’s a good choice, but UNC was so good that Ty didn’t stand out as much as he should have.

    Mateen Cleaves, Khalid El Amin, Ty Edney, those were some other tournament war daddies that come to mind along with Lawson.

    Andrey Arshavin has a website where he takes questions from his fans and, apparently, types his own responses.  It is AMAZING.

    There is really almost nothing that I can add to this, but it’s so great it deserves its own post.  Among the highlights — Arshavin giving marriage advice, Arshavin discussing whether he considers rain to

    Thanks Whiskey, but I’m too busy tryinig to verify if Colt and Shipley were indeed room mates.

    It’s a joke. They always talked about him boxing, though I agree, he’s a tough dude. I loved the way he fearlessly returned punts straight up the gut at 100mph.

    I absolutely hate Rick Reilly. He’s the single most annoying ESPN “analyst”… by far. He would be at home on CNN.

    But since the following sentence appears to be right on the tip of your tongue the entire article, I’ll go ahead and say it. Fuck liberals. Look no further than the UK if you

    The best guards are puported to come from Chicago, Illinois because in the windy city, you either score at the goal, or you risk having our J pushed two feet off the mark thanks to the 30 mph winds whipping off Lake Michigan.

    To that point about guard play, watching the Big East tournament

    Wow. Orangebloods got ahold of some videos of Mike Leach’s after game speeches. Good Lord. More f-bombs than a Quniton Tarintino movie. After the Baylor game – language is highly NSFW:

    Yeah man, Northside v. Southside is old, old news, as is the bas blood there. Booker T is up around Acres Homes, and Yates is in the 3rd Ward.

    Yeah, but here’s the thing — you have to have some way to resolve draws. Endless extra time is impractical, because these games are played in the midst of regular league and domestic cup features — you just can’t play that much extar football. Penalty shots are even more arbitrary than away goals.

    DO you guys think Brown will be back with the team next year or do you think there’ll be some fallout in general?

    Mistakes from nerves should not be a reason to unjustly allow one goal to count as two. It goes against the true laws of the game. No other sport has a “point” (goal in this case) scored by one team counting for more than what it would for the other team. It

    Tweety and Lace are passionate. They are great team leaders. I love it when I see them jabbering creole at UT, showing they are absolutely not intimidated even though for some reason everyone else in the country thinks they should be. This includes the officials – John Higgens really needs to get
