IMO Threads is different now. I checked it out here and there at those times, and it's just different recently...I think some kind of critical mass has been reached. I get very little toxic crap in my feed, and a lot of stuff that is interesting to me personally. Lots of interesting people too.

Been using this more and more over the past couple of weeks, and honestly it's pretty great. Whatever algorithms they use consistently bring me cool content...IMO it's better now than Twitter ever was. Anybody else finding themselves on it more often?

I would have liked it a lot more if we could have seen the eagle shotgun a can of budweiser and then go galloping on the horse and then go "HEY YA'LL...WATCH THIS!!!"

Not trying to be contrarian or anything, but I thought it was kinda lame.

If there's one criticism of Coach Davis that resonates most with me, it's his rotations. I just think they need to be a lot more predictable and stable. Our most success came when he basically picked 5 guys and didn't really play anyone else. And in my unpopular opinion, that's what contributed...

If you have to do something that hurts someone, I imagine you have a good long-term reason for doing so. I'd focus on that. FWIW.

The question wasn't why dook was good, it was whether they might have more chemistry/hierarchy established for a long road trip.

That's fair. I'm not trying to assign culpability or evade responsibility, I was just thinking that it might be a heavier lift than we might imagine.

Was thinking about the road losses lately, SMU, Cal and Stanford. All of those are very long distance trips from us playing tough teams in hostile environments. Then thinking that these players haven't really spent a huge amount of time on the road together, and none of them knew each other...

I don't think it works that way.

Really enjoying the series I'm watching now, Inspector George Gently...first seasons on PBS Masterpiece Mystery, latter ones on Prime/Acorn. Really solid stuff, & highly recommended for anyone who likes cop/crime/detective shows.

The thing that stood out to me the most in that game was just how good Okorie is. We just couldn't stop him...and he's such a great passer that he opened up a lot of things for his team-mates, and got them really good looks. Kid played out of his mind.

I've been waiting for almost 15 years now, waking up to see if Khameini has died yet. The dude is harder to kill than a cockroach. Every Iranian I've ever met is beyond ready for regime change, and to throw the whole "Supreme Leader" thing in the trash. If they can get a pro-western coalition...
