@joecountry99 @TheTunnel_Texas Holy shit. Are you the Home Depot/Lowe’s guy?

@TheTunnel_Texas Hold up 2 fingers if your fan site knew he was leaving and lied about it - “ for the good of the program” and your AD knew about it and didn’t have a plan for a replacement.

Hold up 2 fingers if: You’re acting like a jilted ex. If you blame a coach for your team getting beat in the field If you got swept by that coach in Austin last year If you’re still crying about that coach leaving almost two years later.

@swjones44 @CBCJakeMck He starts Sunday.. IF he doesn’t go long relief for Sdao. To Sdao’s credit, he matches up well with horns. On paper. Otherwise he should start Sunday

@CBCJakeMck Sliding Moss to Sunday starter you fool

Some notes I have touched on this week but want them in one thread

@DP4P_00 @JTsounderFC @11point7 Normalizing bush league behavior tells a lot about yourself

@JTsounderFC @11point7 So you’ve never seen someone do bush league shit before? Being naive doesn’t mean it’s not common, I’m not going to stand on the line and assume someone won’t run through me

Louisiana's Matt Deggs tried to brawl with the whole James Madison coaching staff 🍿🍿🍿 All the chaos ensued after a Cajun player blatantly tried to truck Dukes' 1B on a bunt play.

@brodysheetzESPN So a stretch big?

If I’m Dan Hurley, I’m looking at the blueprints that Wisconsin and Duke laid down.

@HallHoopsHQ @theblockspot Boring take

@theblockspot “coaches hard”

Dan Hurley built a monster at St. Ben’s. Dan Hurley built a monster at Wagner. Dan Hurley built a monster at R. Island. Dan Hurley built a monster at UConn. You don’t like him ‘cuz he coaches hard.

@game7__ Using “lost in the second round” as a narrative considering it was to a dominant national championship team is just pathetic

Dan Hurley is a gross guy. This video proves why. What an ego. He's inarguably the most overrated coach in all of sports right now. Don't get me wrong - Hurley is a decent enough coach. He recruits well. He uses the portal. He had two historically stacked rosters in 2023 and 2024 and he won with them. Four of his five starters from the 2024 title team were drafted, including Stephon Castle at number four and Donovan Clingan at number seven. When you have that much talent, you're supposed to win. And the one year he didn't have that level of roster? UConn was an 8-seed in 2025 and lost to Florida in the second round. Hurley fought back tears in the postgame interview and later admitted he thought about leaving UConn. Thought about leaving. One year after he turned down $70 million from the Lakers because he loved college coaching so much. But here's the thing that actually makes Hurley hard to watch: the sideline act. This season alone, he was ejected and fined $25,000 by the Big East for aggressively confronting referee John Gaffney during a game at Marquette. He got a formal warning during the tournament for charging onto the court to argue a call. And in the Elite Eight, after UConn's game-winning shot against Duke, he went forehead-to-forehead with referee Roger Ayers in what everyone watching saw as a headbutt. He later said he thought the ref was coming over to "chest-bump" him. That referee will not be working the Final Four. At the Maui Invitational in November 2024, Hurley dropped to his knees after an offensive foul call, drew a technical, and the two extra free throws gave Memphis a four-point lead with 40 seconds left in overtime. UConn lost 99-97. The margin was the technical. Yahoo Sports ran a piece on him this week titled: "When is enough, enough?" Former Michigan coach John Beilein publicly criticized his behavior. And Hurley's response? He says he's not changing. The full breakdown of why Hurley's resume isn't as impressive as you think and why the sideline act is getting worse is here: itsgame7.com/news/dan-hurle… People who know Hurley off the court say he's "endlessly thoughtful, soft-spoken, and charming." Good for him. Most people manage to be the same person in both settings. He's good at his job. Nobody is saying otherwise. But "good at his job" and "generational coaching genius who gets to headbutt referees without consequences" are two very different things. The championship runs had more to do with the players on the floor than the guy screaming on the sideline. And the one year those players weren't there, they were an 8-seed. UConn plays for the title Monday night. Hurley will pace the sideline, scream at officials, and make the whole thing about himself. He'll have earned the title if they win. The behavior? Not so much.

@DanWolken @NoahB77_ “Guy who played at freaking UAB” odd way to say you never watched him at UAB. Under recruited means nothing when you perform at his level

Michigan’s best players are a guy Mick Cronin buried, a guy who was a bust at North Carolina, a guy who came off the bench at Illinois and a guy who played at freaking UAB. Get outta here.

@The_HtownHusker @HaloHangover @yallbestupid @JanuarMay @pitchergami Forgive him, he’s an Angels fan. They don’t know what to believe

@HaloHangover @yallbestupid @JanuarMay @pitchergami Ask yourself that question because wtf are you waffling about.

🚨 PITCHERGAMI 🚨 Tatsuya Imai just threw a line that has NEVER happened in MLB history: 5.2 IP | 3 H | 0 ER | 3 BB | 9 K HOU @ ATH That's the 31st Pitchergami of 2026 and 1 of 83,255+ unique lines on record.

@TheConnorPils Yes. But none of that matters when you can’t defend an off ball screen.

“Underwood just got out-coached tonight” Have you considered Illinois just…missed shots they normally make? Hurley is a great coach but let’s not act like if even half of these go down UConn doesn’t go home. Sometimes the shots just don’t fall.

@dailysportszone @tristansautism @shadybiev You’re not wrong but I don’t think you’re understanding him. The line is a hedge for themselves

@tristansautism @shadybiev They aren’t setting a line 3+ points let alone more than 1+ point off from what the market is. The line isn’t 3.5 because that is a god awful line. They’re just setting themselves up to get hit harder by sharps wagering big money on a shit spread.

Line screams Michigan by murder

@TheLoneStarStar @OccupyLF Isn’t omaha? Don’t tell the official Texas baseball account that or they’ll tweet out Omaha cleats before losing a home regional to a satellite school

@OccupyLF It’s a Friday night. This isn’t Omaha. It’s not even ball game. These kids need to chill tf out

“𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐌𝐄!!!” (Gives up TWO HRs the next inning) HOW ABOUT NOW?!?!?! 🤘🏼⚾️😎

@patrickbraun1 @Drewtamu No. Play the hot hand otherwise the pen will continue to be taxed

@Drewtamu Leave him where he is. It’s working. A W counts the same no matter which day it is.

Should Sims become the Friday guy? Or it ain’t broke don’t fix it - let him cook where he’s at - don’t mess with his mojo?

@Drewtamu ball knowers have been saying this for 3+ weeks. Love Sdao, but he’s taxing the pen

@R_Brauninger @CBCJakeMck Just another outing for Sims

The Texas A&M pitching staff was staring down 2 games today against a Vandy offense that torched them on Thursday night. They needed someone to step up. Enter Gavin Lyons and Aiden Sims. The sophomores combined to allow 1 earned run in 10.2 innings. Massive performance

@BarstoolTexasAM Been saying for weeks.. sims isn’t a Sunday guy. Give him Friday or at least Saturday

FINAL/7 Aggies take the series against Vanderbilt! Possibly the best game of the year as far as the entire team being on point. Aiden Sims pitched a masterclass, the entire offense put up a masterclass, absolutely everyone showed up. What a day for the Aggies. This is fun👍

@bdubtx7 @R_Brauninger Reading comprehension is hard!

@R_Brauninger Including mizzou in this to make it look better 🤦‍♂️

In 2025, Texas A&M went 0-6 versus Missouri and Vanderbilt. They were outscored by a total of 22 runs in those games. This season, they go 5-1 against the Tigers and Commodores and outscore them by a total of 31 runs.

@gavinmchughh Such narrative speakers. Just alone on speaking on the previous UConn/illinois matchup

Proceed with caution. Illinois / UConn is gonna be a war.

@dimpledwonder @CFBReport @Doc_Texas @LSUfootball Pretty believable considering neither QB can read a defense to save their lives

@CFBReport @Doc_Texas @LSUfootball It’s actually unbelievable how terrible these teams ended up being

I thought I was watching 2 playoff teams go to war last August 😭

@cartel_ozark @Luke524229 @billybotchic @bluestdeuce So UConn wins with less? Hurley really is the goat.

@jakepaschall @Luke524229 @billybotchic @bluestdeuce UConn can’t do either 🤣🤣

He always had that Duke hate in his heart

@cartel_ozark @Luke524229 @billybotchic @bluestdeuce Great way to change the narrative from develop stars to recruit stars

@Luke524229 @billybotchic @bluestdeuce Duke has a ton. Calipari guys as well. Kansas . List goes on. uconn doesn’t get future nba stars or develop them into nba stars. Career college guys like kariban who will be selling insurance in a few months 🤣
