Texas Preview: What will Texas Do?

Posted by Boo Radley on February 17th, 2010 under Basketball

Euclid pretty much outlined what has to be done the next few weeks, and this is clearly a monster game for Conference seeding and NCAA Tourney bids. While I don’t want to jinx it, a win gets us to at least 9-7 in the conference which I think is on the right side of the bubble, but 8-8 is clearly on the bubble. Chet should have more on that soon. So what can we expect

Big XII Bye – Down But Not Out!

Posted by Euclid on February 15th, 2010 under Uncategorized

The Baylor game was very disappointing. Pull out that win and we are in the driver’s seat for a bye in the first round of the Big XII tournament. Following the game I figured we had virtually no chance of finishing in the top 4 given our challenging remaining schedule and poor tie-breaker position vis-à-vis Baylor and Texas A&M. But after just a few minutes of homework I have a renewed faith in the Tigers

Baylor Running Diary 2nd Half

Posted by Boo Radley on February 13th, 2010 under Uncategorized

Second Half

19:00  English air ball, but nice rebound by Safford.  4th foul on Lomers 38-35. If Bowers is not on the floor, Safford is our most active player.  Why is Keith Ramsey even playing?

17:00 First bucket by Udoh, but Kimmie answers from downtown.  40-38.  I like the way this half has started.  We are much more aggressive on both ends of the floor. Again, why is Ramsey playing? ON cue, here come Bowers.

15:37 44-42 Baylor.

Baylor Running Diary

Live from Waco, here we go. Brad Sham and Miles Simon onthe call.  Good, new blood plus I love Miles Simon after they beat KU in the tourney and Brad Sham is the Dallas Cowboys announcer which I love as well.

20:00  Bowers  and Denmon not starting.  Dammit.  Against a team like Baylor, I think you need your best offenive team to start.

17:37 Wow Baylor is tall. I don’t see many points being scored inside the

This team belongs to Miguel Paul

Posted by Doc Nice on February 11th, 2010 under Uncategorized

Really. Miguel Paul is the face of this team. WAIT. Wait, don’t go away. Hear me out.

This article isn’t really even about Miguel Paul. It’s about the character of this team. See, Miguel Paul represents the faceless, selfless player that rotates in and out of this carousel system. Who are you going to remember 10 years from now? There’s no Peeler, Stipanovich or Rush on this team. Denmon, English, Taylor?

Iowa State Post Mortem: Lucky Chuckers

Posted by Boo Radley on February 11th, 2010 under Basketball

Is it wrong for me to think that the Missouri Tigers are now the Missouri Chuckers? Everyone has seen the Seinfeld episode when Kramer calls George “a Chucker” because he just chucks it from everywhere. It’s one of the best episodes because it is also the Keith Hernandez episode. Every time I watch the Tigers now I wonder if this team is just a bunch of chuckers who play great defense, because they are not

Texas A&M Postmortem: Pathetic

Posted by Boo Radley on February 4th, 2010 under Uncategorized

That’s a bad loss, for a number of reasons. In a conference that appears to be loaded with eight quality teams, you can’t lose a home game to a team you are fighting for a first round bye in the Big 12 tourney and more importantly an NCAA bid. Just a killer. From tied for second, to fifth just like that. Spots 2-8 are going to change over the next four weeks,

Official NFL Combine Invite List

Posted by Phenomenal Smith on February 3rd, 2010 under Football

It seems that the new official list (the banner reads 2009, but it’s clearly this year’s guys) is out and there are some Big 12 additions. Last month I wrote of the first official list and our OBK friend Triston pointed out that additions were still to come. Sure enough, though no Tigers were added so it’s hardly very interesting. The new list with additions in italics:

Baylor (2): WR David

Live Tiger?

Posted by Phenomenal Smith on February 2nd, 2010 under Football

As opposed to a dead one, of course. Missouri Student Association President Tim Noce is lobbying for an actual tiger to be present on the sidelines for Mizzou football games. He’s gone so far as to contact breeders about buying a tiger – the going rate is $13,000 for a tiger – and the St. Louis Zoo about renting a tiger six times a year.

I can’t say I’m a big

OSU Pokes Preview: FU Travis

Posted by Boo Radley on January 29th, 2010 under Basketball

I hate Travis Ford. I mean really hate him. I know we were going on probation. I know Rick Pitino and his home state school came a calling. I get all that blah, blah, blah. Doesn’t make it any better.

See Travis Ford was my favorite Tiger in 1989. He was on the Big Eight Conference All Freshman team. He hit a monster game winner up in Ames. He was going to be the point guard

Kansas Post Mortem: The Expected

Posted by Boo Radley on January 26th, 2010 under Basketball

Okay, I am not going to dwell on this game too much other than I hate losing to them more than just about anything. We just simply do match up with them very well in any way shape or form. Aldrich kills us, and when you add in the Morris twins, we have no answers. When Sherron Collins goes 2-11 with 6 points and we lose by 20, well that just shows that they are

Cole Adrich dedicates season to charity

Posted by Doc Nice on January 25th, 2010 under Basketball

Cole Adrich announced today that he is dedicating the rest of the season to charity.

With every grunt on a rebound, blocked shot, dunk or free throw, Aldrich will help raise money in the fight against Venereal Disease. “As an experienced grunter whose life has been affected Sexually Transmitted Diseases, it seemed a natural fit. Next year, I heard Lotrimin will sponsor the ‘Scratch Your Balls to fight Jock Itch

    LB Coach right before we moved over here usmc53 left the below question for you in response to one of your comments. Based on this post I take it the NT is just reading the Center’s head after the snap. I thought he asked a great question though and didn’t want it to

    Well, here at AT we talk about Chase Daniel coming back to Mizzou to coach QBs and recruit the Dallas area. We haven’t taken it off the table, but not sure it carries much predictive value on our table.

    Barnes’ three “strengths”:

    Defense, rebounding, recruiting.

    This team just proved the first two are non-existent (out-rebounded by 25; fucking KIDDING me?) and the last one is over-hyped as well. Every ESPN basketball recruiting analyst who actually had Bradley ahead of Wall should be taken out back and executed Inglourious Basterds style.

    a Good System will usually beat a talented team that does not play together and are thinking instead of playing basketball ,over a season the system wins more then they will give away.
    A team that is scared to make a mistake and thinks before they react is going to lose to a confident but

    Egg, that’s fine, but at what point do you blame Barnes? Seriously, man. You’ve thrown players under the bus left and right, but at a certain point, doesn’t the buck stop somewhere. I know you’re more of an NBA guy so it begins and ends with players there, but we need fucking
