Stoops' ties to Wolford run pretty deep. The 2 of them shared a dorm room as assistants at South Florida as they prepared to start their football program.

Check this interview from this fall between Bob and Mark Stoops. Stoops talks about it around the 4:30 mark.

Also, if you start at the 4:00 minute mark, you see Mark Stoops talk about his first job as a high school AD. My father in law hired him and was his boss.
 
And he never draws fouls either. He shot no free throws in that game last night that was super physical. Only 41 fts on the season tied with Reed for 4th on the team. He should lead them in that category.
That's actually quite crazy since Reed doesn't even try to shoot anymore. Reed is averaging just 4.5 FGA per game during conference play.

And also if you limit it to just conference play, Reed actually shots more free throws per game than Wagner despite taking less than half the FGA's. Wagner has 10 FGA a game and just 2.5 FT. Reed takes 3.5 FT per game.

Wagner gets out shot at the line by a guy who practically has given up on shooting anything but an opportune 3 pointer.

Some of that’s on Cal but I’d put much on Shep. He needs to realize the team is better off if he’s a little more selfish. Hunt some shots. A good look for him is better than a great look for someone else.

RE: Wagner- kind of surprising considering his style of play.
 
With Wagner’s style of play he should average 8 FTs a game. Not sure why he doesn’t get calls like most guys that play style to the basket. Maybe because he’s a thick PG that can somewhat bully his way to the basket?

9:51 and I’ve had to correct (borderline embarrass) our COO on how to read our daily revenue report 3x already.

Mind you, this report has been in production for several wks now, clearly showing he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.

To make it worse, he copied the CEO on his emails, thinking he was showing a flaw in the report so the CEO got to see my “duh, you’re wrong” responses. I also casually threw in a “would be happy to walk you through the report again” line.

Incompetence at the highest of levels.

We better f*ckin beat Arkansas tomorrow.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is in the age of kids being “behind” if they don’t play a sport 80 hours a week by the time they’re 5 years old is weird habits like DJ only going left and almost breaking his legs on a wide open right hand layup are incredibly difficult to break. They’ve played 50,000 AAU games doing that over and over again that it will take years to break weird habits.
 
Question: Are there any sportswriters - non including former athletes or coaches- whose opinion you respect MORE than your sports fan buddies? There may be a few but not many. That’s not to say there aren’t quite a few sportswriters whose opinions I do like and respect. It’s just that getting into that line of work doesn’t make you an expert any more so than an insurance salesperson who has also followed sports his entire life.

I think that’s the reason for the inherent insecurity in that field.
 
Rupp Rafters has pretty amazing, regular hot takes that I love. Just a fantastic board that place is, like old Vegas without any charm or redeeming qualities.

Man that chef reactions guy is great, just watched like 5 videos

I last saw the sun I believe on December the 12th. January and February are not for the faint of heart

Growing up, I took everything that Peter Gammons said about baseball as the gospel. But that is about it.

The Sportswriters was such a great show. Just old, crotchety sportswriters smoking, busting each other's balls, clearly drunk and jonesing to get off camera to have another highball.

I'd believe anything those guys said.

I respect their writing/journalism skills. Once it crosses over to opinion, I lose all interest.

-Beautiful day today gang, great for driving.

-Can’t imagine why I never fell in love with Twitter, I had no idea I could watch 6 entire minutes (can’t believe anyone watched that whole clip) of someone making a #30 bowl of nachos supreme?

Some of you all have plenty of time for books or the pavement…

Seriously though, sorry but watching one of those videos seems like a total waste of time.

-The drive to/from SP is insanely easier being 7 less hours than KW. I was past Atlanta by around 1015. It’s already 75 degrees out here in Georgia.

-Every time I purposely pass a Bucees (I’ve never been to one) I just smile knowing how much some of you peasants like truck stops 😆.

-Been thinking about it a long time and now looking into becoming a firefighter in SP. Think I would love it, you get to workout when not on calls, work two 24s/week, can moonlight doing something else and retire in 20 years.

Yes the ticker should be 100% by March-ish all things going my way anyway. I have friends that had the same thing that do spartan races and all that stuff.

And crystalglass, you know as you age and get experience they don’t always keep you on the engine, there are plenty of desk jobs (that I wouldn’t want likely but an option nonethe less). Or as a former RN I could become certified real quick to be a paramedic as well, more pay, more options. Not too many fires in the back of the bus, bud.

Also, no offense to you but I think what I look like at 60 is not what you’re picturing a 60 year old to look like. 60 year olds complete Ironmans and jump out of planes and are still super active these days.

Furthermore, I’ll bet we’ve lived COMPLETELY different lives and value different things. I’m likely not going to have any kids or anything to worry about so whytf do I care? 70K/year for a retired dude slinging drinks beachside a couple days a week at 65 to make some waking around money and talk to people sounds amazing actually to me.

When you don’t have kids, your money goes so much further, I don’t know if people realize how much further when you’re not splitting a paycheck 4 ways.
 
Fire academies do have age limits. Lexington’s is 35.

I read once that those weird, gross, or absurd cooking videos are fetish content. No clue what the fetish would be but there are some weirdos out there.
