Post UC Irvine Post

Posted by The General on November 15th, 2009 under Basketball

One of my favorite things to do is show up to Horns basketball games 60-90 minutes early, grab a Hat Creek cheeseburger, and watch the guys go through drills.

Part II of the Obese Hoops Preview: Why Texas Will Cut Down the Nets

Posted by The General on November 10th, 2009 under Basketball

For all of the sunshine pumping regarding our potential offensive prowess, there will still be incredibly frustrating runs for this team. Even with all of the offensive fire power that arrived on the campus this summer, I expect offense to remain the weak link on the team. Rick Barnes is a defensive guy, and I expect the lion's share of the practice minutes to be utilized on this side of the basketball.

Colorado Post Game

Posted by The General on March 11th, 2009 under Basketball

This will be short and sweet because I only caught fleeting glimpses of the game. It appeared that Colorado was outmanned all over the court and especially inside. This was not a surprise. I would like to see Damian and Dexter go for 37 and 21 combined for the rest of March. AJ played within himself. Offensive rebounding was remarkable. We absolutely have to dominate inside for the rest of the

Basketball Next Year: How The Pieces Fit

Posted by Scipio Tex on March 4th, 2009 under Basketball

I want to talk about the new blood coming in, how it will be infused into the body of our current roster, discuss the actions of our platelets as they staunch the wound of our bleeding while white blood cells race to battle the infection of poor shooting and....I've run out of blood metaphors. Anyway, we're going to be good next year. And we'll probably be elite in 2011, 2012.

Can I See Dead People?

Posted by The General on March 3rd, 2009 under Basketball

On Trip's Right's Baylor Post, kevwun raised a valid question regarding The Doge of Jester and whether he has the ability to un-Gottlieb. Or, more plainly, Can Doge learn to shoot? This is the overriding question for the Doge Balbay fan club. It is the difference between being a leader on a team that is going to back to back Final Fours in 2010 and 2011, and being the odd man out in the

Dinner for Five

Posted by Doperbo on February 25th, 2009 under

One of my longest running internal debates is whether or not I'm gay. I actually didn't write that, one of my colleagues did while I was on break. I decided to leave it in for the manifold enjoyments it might offer our readers; in that my bit of it remains a nicely turned phrase, it's a unique look into the working conditions I deal with here at Barking Carnival, and it's also a not so subtle

Thoughts on Texas Basketball vs. Oklahoma

Posted by Trips Right on February 21st, 2009 under Basketball

AJ Abrams had scored the last 16 points for the Horns. Who could blame you if you thought his bid to make it 19 in a row with 21 seconds would be all nylon? I couldn't. Austin "toast" Johnson wouldn't. And all you AJ haters shouldn't. But thank the good Lord that Big Dexter Pittman took nothing for granted and instead bear slapped Taylor Griffin, carved out a space under
