Hardoooo.

It wasn't a joke, it was an observation. If you're not interested, or you don't understand, that's not my issue. You're not nearly as clever as you seem to be, and frankly you seem like a huge nerd so that's too bad for you, I guess.

You'd be surprised. Huge nerd is in these days.

one person on this board consistently appears to be obsessed with #1: trying to tough talk everyone else, #2: making sure everyone understands that he's the coolest guy in the room, #3 repeating #1 and #2

that "frankly you seem like a huge nerd" to me is such a deflection.

I picture this guy as 400lbs, stinking of BO, homepage is www.youjizz.com, coolest guy in the mothereffing room no matter the room

In his defense, I did call him an idiot, and it probably seemed pretty hostile to anyone who didn't get what was a pretty obscure reference.

As a lawyer he argued a Fourth Circuit case on laches in the copyright context that gets cited pretty frequently, so your post is not entirely true.

I bet he didn't write the brief.

Even if you didn't get the reference, it was pretty clear it was referencing something and not just a lashing out.
Now I'm mad at myself for wasting brain power on this.

Yeah, this is pretty stupid.

Bilas has a law degree. He was trying to be cheeky. Why do so many have to be dicks on the boneyard now. People seem to just insult each other constantly, not like the old yard.

We used to insult people on the old Yard, you long-winded nincompoop!

Texas is about to announce a new arena, right along the river in downtown Austin. Gonna be insane.

Why? Their current BB fans don't exactly overwhelm the turnstiles. After the initial novelty of a new arena wears off rather quickly, unless they've got a winning team on the court, what's different? They can't fill their present 16,000 seat arena as it is.

Irwin Center is outdated, they want to keep getting NCAA subregionals and need a nicer facility to do it, they want to put the school of pharmacy where the Irwin Center is, because they can...

That's true. They can do anything they want. They've got more money than God. They get 2/3 of the Permanent University School Fund. Texas A&M gets 1/3.

That's what's so amazing. With all that oil and gas royalty money pouring in, how can they not be winning multiple national championships every season, in a bunch of different sports? Their football program has sucked for the past few seasons, by their standards, and their BB program is arguably the worst underachieving program in the country, considering the vast resources at their disposal.
