Re: NBA 2013

James Harden is a horrific defensive player. I typically watch at least 75 Rockets games a year, every year and I've never been more pissed off after losses than I have this week. Not giving any effort is the #1 basketball sin, IMO.

Yeah, they are a hard team to dislike. The 12th man (not the actual one at A&M but this plagarized version) can make them unbearable at times but that goes for every team. Cause the actual one is actually unbearable at all times. I didn't watch much, but it seemed like every time I flipped over...

Re: College football Week 11 - THURSDAY ARMAGEDDON!

Put my post in the wrong thread. About to leave the office here in the next 90 minutes to head to Waco. I don't want to be too confident, but this is an OU team that got de-stroyed by a subpar UT team. I think the only team that gives Baylor fits will be OSU in Stillwater on the 23rd.
