Besides fighting the left, I’m pretty sure the only other function of the Democratic Party is to sloganeer neoliberal austerity for an audience of party hacks.

Picked Houston to go 8-4 this year and thought I was being real optimistic. What a season from this team. Willie Fritz showing incredible proof of concept.

Huge huge huge catch by Amare on 4th down, what a year that dude is having

That is two just blindingly obvious, impossible-to-miss pass interference calls on Baylor today that were missed. Both massive momentum-swingers.

Calling that DPI in the end zone is officiating malpractice

Conner "Wheels" Weigman

Holy shit how do you miss that PI? Insane gift to Baylor.

it’s vitally important for the future of this country that this wildly unpopular administration is tied directly to its enablers in congress and the courts and used to discredit the entire conservative movement

Another missed opportunity for Houston to pick up a bad early loss

imagine what we could be doing if the federal government wasn't actively trying to throttle the growth of this industry

Realizing the UH special sauce is having a bad result(s) before January 20-21: lost to Tulsa in December, made final 4 21-22: needed OT vs Hofstra, made elite 8 22-23: impressive Nov/Dec, lost Sweet 16 23-24: ditto 24-25: lost first 3 games vs real teams, played for a natty Shoulda lost to Syracuse

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

I’ll have what she’s having

Tonight's loss drops Houston from #4 to #4 in kenpom

Last year's team lost its first 3 games against real teams and played for a natty. This year's team went 2-1. It's gonna be a fun season.

Helluva game.

Coogs avoid the list by only playing 11 games in 2001

Correct, the best time for espn to bring on Joe Lunardi is *checks calendar* any time after I've shed this mortal coil, so that I never have to hear from him again

Austin Armstrong won't (and shouldn't) win but deserving of the nomination for sure. Especially if they're going to nominate 63 guys.

The perfect time of year for an appearance from Turkey Volume Guessing Man!

What a Monday for Big 12 men's hoops. The conference went 7-0 w/5 wins over P5 foes. In addition to UH's win, Iowa State beat #14 St. John's, expected basement dweller Arizona St rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat ut-austin, Darryn Peterson-less KU beat Notre Dame, and Baylor beat Creighton

Future UH opponent New Orleans currently up 8 at Mississippi State with under 8 to go. Privateers having a bizarre season, starting 2-1 with big upset wins over TCU and Tulane (by 22!) before losing b2b games to kenpom #212 and #172 by 20 combined points. And now threatening an sec team.

Coogs down to #33 in kenpom offensive efficiency. They're not dominating on the offensive glass like they have in years past, so they're gonna have to shoot better than they have so far.

I'm a fan of a team that's leaps & bounds better than what i ever expected when i signed up to be a fan. They're ranked #3 in the country, 6-0 with 2 wins over power conference teams, one of the favorites to win it all. Is it weird that watching them feels like having a slow motion heart attack?

If you're gonna call every little ticky-tack imperfect screen that Houston sets you've gotta at least hold the other team to the same standard

I'm not a coffee drinker, but maybe someone reading this is!

University of Houston mentioned! Go Coo--wait, no, stop, I don't like this one

Hello, my lovely wife is getting her masters, and for part of her last big project is running a survey and she needs some responses. If you drink starbucks at least occasionally, I'd appreciate it if you spent 3 minutes filling one out: qualtrics.ou.edu/jfe/form/SV_...

Oh cool, I now have a least-favorite division 2 school

DOGE investigations and prosecutions are already overdue

I don't think it matters that the racist Texas gerrymander might be dead. With enough blue state redistricting, Democrats can see how much political pain Republicans are willing to endure before they agree to fair(er) electoral maps. badfaithtimes.com/now-is-the-t...

The opposite of the Moms for Liberty wave should get more attention

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Seems bad

If I had a men's hoops ap vote I'd put Arizona #1 right now. Another big win for them, beating uconn.

I mean, I gotta imagine that the supreme court is gonna reverse this and give trump what he wants because of course, but to have this decision signed by a trump-appointed judge is interesting

Holy shit, this is wild

Houston's Kingston Flemings has been one of the most impressive freshmen in the country. Serious one-and-done potential. Why? His burst, and then his ability to decelerate and counter from midrange. Had 22/5/7 vs. Auburn. Full 60-minute Video Breakdown: gametheorysamv.substack.com/p/is-houston...

Too bad Sam and Bobby already chose each other's potential Down with the Pickness punishments for @pawdcast.bsky.social

Go Coogs!!

Houston thrives in the chaos. A snippet from our opening segment.

Big 12 men's hoops is now 11-6 in games against power conference foes to start the season, with only 1 bad loss against everybody else. (Thanks, TCU.) Not bad at all.

Come on @thefieldof68.bsky.social do better. There are at least 3-4 angles available of the final play and it was a clear non-foul from every one of them. It's your job as journalists to report objective facts, not platform Steven Pearl's petty nonsense.

Whew, what a win

Cardiac Coogs baby

That's a charge in every league on earth what the fuck are we doing

KINGSTON FUCKING FLEMINGS

Not calling Tugler getting tackled on a rebound, not calling Cenac getting hammered on the arm on that hook shot, two shockingly bad misses already in Auburn's favor

I wish Pete Buttigieg nothing but the best in private life, but let this be the last time any of us utter his name
