Texas Basketball Coach Rodney Terry Isn't Built For The SEC, Cries About Horns Down

Everybody knows the horns up is actually just the nWo Wolfpac signal repurposed. It doesn't belong to Texas, and why Texas views it as a hate crime when anyone does the upside down Wolfpac is beyond me. 

When did this become so inflammatory? As a non-Texas fan, I don't understand why anyone takes it so personal, but they do. As a result, it's become a thing anytime Texas loses in anything. They continue to let it get under their skin so bad that it'll never go away, and it's their own fault for constantly being so lame about it. 

Last night was no exception and I'm not sure I've ever seen a more collectively butt-hurt institution than the University of Texas or this coach. If you dare flash the horns down at anyone associated with the lesser UT ("UT Jr." as we call them) they go all to pieces. Last night was another in a long line of kerfuffles involving Texas being offended by the horns down gesture.

UCF erased a 16-point deficit to beat Texas. They rallied from behind to beat the Longhorns at home and celebrated by horns-downing the crowd in the handshake line. That's when Texas coach Rodney Terry took it on himself to let them know how "classless" they were for doing it. There's nothing better in college hoops than a coach chiding the other team's players in the handshake line to uphold some unspoken moral code after losing a game. The spirit of Coach K lives on with the handshake line lectures. 

You'd be better off blasting double middle fingers in his face because it seems like he'd be less offended by that. This is absolute loser behavior and they should be embarrassed. 

Does this guy not know what he's in for? Here's my friend @ANTIFaldo summing it up in a tweet.  

Hey, Coach Terry, here's a thought: don't blow a double-digit lead. Don't lose, then maybe you won't have teenagers on the other team making a harmless hand gesture that you don't like. If you want to defend the honor of the University of Texas then do better and don't piss away a win against UCF. Wear that burnt, fecal shade of orange with a little more pride and grow up. If you're letting this bother you, you're gonna have a really bad time starting next year.  

Buckle up, Texas. It's time to mentally prepare yourself in the event of increased hostility. For starters, don't flip out any time someone does the horns down. It's incredibly soft and makes you look like a colossal dork. It'll only make it worse. You're in the SEC now. There's no decorum, no code, and all bets are off once you enter the arena. 

All I'm saying is around here, we do things a little different and the horns down is the least of your worries. If there's not a golf ball handy then we grab whatever's available.  

Welcome to the SEC. You're gonna hate it here.

Jeff Goodman Is A Loser

I've been at war with the national media for almost 7 years. It's not a big deal, but I've been fighting the good fight ever since "Schiano Sunday" in late 2017 when my eyes were opened to the shit that happens when media members "befriend" coaches and athletic directors. It's a dangerous game and there's a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering to make sure stories break the way that people want them to.  Whenever you're reading anything that's written by these select few, just know that they're very sensitive, fragile individuals. Jeff Goodman, Pat Forde, Dan Wolken, Dennis Dodd... they're all hyper-sensitive and soft. If a coach/AD is friendly and makes these dorks feel important, then they generally act nicer and will even volunteer to carry their water. If a coach/AD is mean to them in a presser or ignores calls and doesn't scratch their belly, then they tend to become very fussy and resort to hit pieces. This is the way t

FFB WEEK 13 - TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Come on into the Fantasy Football Boys lounge where we talk fantasy football. Welcome! Fancy a beer while you wait? Cocktail? Ok, cool, what'll it be? Ice cold Schlitz? Nice choice, I can tell you're a real diplomat. Get comfortable in one of our fine leather chairs, we're gonna be here a while. Oh, you're ready to talk shop? You wanna talk fantasy football? Perfect, me too.  1. It is officially Threat Level Midnight for Patrick Mahomes . On Sunday, he was bad. 21/33 for 210 yards, 1 touchdown, and an interception. Again, chalk it up to the lack of a standout receiver or injuries on the offensive line, but it's been a grind if you're starting Mahomes, no other way to put it. Dare I say something I never thought I'd say: He's become a liability if you're a playoff contender. It was yet another miserable fantasy output, and he's now put up <20 fantasy points in 7 of his last 9 games. The concern level is at an all-time high and fantasy owners ar

FFB WEEK 14 - PLAYOFF EDITION: TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Image
It's the playoffs, baby.    1. Justin Jefferson's fantasy corpse was reanimated this week for some excellent fantasy production .  Oops! He got injured again and there were 3 total points scored all game. If ever there was a game that embodied a fart noise, it was this one. It wasn't exactly the explosive return we'd all hoped for as Jefferson may or may not have had internal bleeding after a hit in the first half. It was a mighty gut-punch for fantasy owners that thought they were getting a healthy Jefferson back after 8 weeks on the shelf just for him to leave early again and go to the hospital. The guy can't catch a break and the presumed WR1 heading into the season is now just WR46 thanks to some shit luck with injuries. What a ripoff for the fantasy owners that drafted him, I hope they're doing okay.  2. Bench Patrick Mahomes . I've seen enough. The Chiefs are a mess and for the first time in his career, Patrick Mahomes seems stressed. I've never se
