    I know Dirk will still play a role in the Mavs organization, and I hope he influences other star Europeans Luka and KP to stick around for a long time. This team could be special real soon.

    Cuban loves him and has stated he can have whatever roll he wants in the organization. Would love to see him as an assistant coach to keep mentoring the young guys.

    I like our schedule, and am optimistic about beating Berkeley. Some school in their conference pops up occasionally, but for the most part, I don't have much respect for their conference as far as big boys go. Hope to make that game.

    Agreed. They did not look good at all last year; especially their snore fest Bowl Game,  and the PAC-12 as a whole has had a steep drop off from a few years ago. I like our chances.

    Maybe I will miss out.  I will follow them, but I really only watched this year because I thought it would be Dirk's final season.  I haven't watched an NBA All-Star game, a regular season game or play off game all the way through in years.  Tired of Lebron's diva attitude, the star system that has always been in place, etc...  Just not my cup of tea anymore.  Luka is another special talent and if the Mav's ever get back to the playoffs then I will probably follow them then, but I am pretty much done with it.

    I hate the one pony show the NBA has become as much as the next guy and dislike that talk is only about a few specific players, aka Lebrick, but I think the Mavs are really on to something. Between Luka, Porzingis, Brunson, and a high first rounder in the draft, this team is already shaping into a contender and they are all still really young. Even Jackson started to round into form towards the end of the season. There's plenty to look forward to with this team. 

    Edit: Just to clarify, I only follow the Mavs. Once they miss the playoffs, etc. I stop paying attention.

    I think I am done with the NBA.  Loved Dirk, how he played the game and how he never acted like the superstar he was/is.  I have said for years that when he retired I would be done with the NBA and I think I am going through with that.  The end of a era for a first ballot HOF'er.

    So having a future superstar like Luka doesn't do it for you?

    In the last year of the old Big 12, before the original 4 left, a survey was held amongst the players to ask which fans were the best and worst in the conference in football. Not surprisingly, Nebraska finished as the best...and not surprisingly, by more than double that of second place Colorado, was our very own wasteland of manners and civility, Texas Tech. Worst fanbase I’ve ever been around. BTW, even though no one asked this question in the survey, it is still well known that the dumbest fanbase in America is Baylor—by a lot.

    This. All the way. Tech fans are the absolute worst but I have cousins that are Baylor grads and they have to be some of the most deluded people on the planet. Even to the point that they'll defend Art Briles and, "It wasn't as bad as the media makes it out to be."

    Utep was a powerhouse in track and field back in the 70's .  Not sure how they are now.  I know when Texas Western won the national championship New Mexico State was in the top ten.  

    They haven't won a team National Championship in a while but they still win a lot of individual National Championships in Track and Cross Country. A lot of their track athletes do also go on to compete in the Olympics because they recruit a lot from Islands and foreign countries. Watching the Olympics, a few times I have seen random runners from tiny islands that their alma mater is UTEP.

    I loved visiting Lubbock for a game!  Did it twice.  But this was when I was still in college.

    It makes me wonder if the experience is different once you get 5+ years removed from that lifestyle.

    I crashed at some unofficial greek home.  The tp was rolling off a chopped deer's hoof that was bolted into the side of the sink.  They had an TV/sound system setup that was probably worth more than the rest of the furniture/house combined.

    Tech is one of those you absolutely love it or absolutely hate it places. I went there briefly and absolutely hated it and that was after getting involved, joining a fraternity, etc. whereas my sister graduated from there and loved it as did most of my friends that went there. Personally, you couldn't pay me to live in Lubbock again.

    I wouldn’t pull for Texas Tech to win a seed spitting contest.  Glad they lost.  

    Second sorriest-behaving group of people I’ve ever experienced in my 33 years of traveling to college athletic events, and an embarrassment to the great state of Texas.

    Agreed. My sister is a Tech grad and they are honestly some of the most pompous group of fans for no reason at all. It should also be noted that their National Championships include 1 Women's basketball title and 3 Cheerleading/ Pep Squad "National Championship" titles amongst some other rodeo, etc titles that the NCAA doesn't recognize. I was extremely happy to share this bit of information with her.

    Yeah, I was super torn last night.  One side of me wanted to root for a fellow Texas team.  The other part of me - the one that has a UTEP degree - wanted to remain the only champion.

    Y'all are still top 10 in the nation for number of National Titles. Amazing. Naturally my father has the most bragging rights in the family but doesn't use it

    In football, men’s hoops, women’s hoops, and baseball, these schools have national championships in the last 50 years:

    Texas—football, baseball, and women’s hoops

    Tech—women’s hoops

    A&M—women’s hoops

    Baylor—women’s hoops

    UTEP—basketball

    Rice—baseball

    UTEP's basketball championship was 53 years ago. Also, you are correct about Rice. I didn't see they won the baseball National Championship in 1993.

    UTEP remains the only school in the state of Texas to claim an NCAA basketball championship.

    Yeah. Glory Road, which they talked about a bit last night. They were also big in track and cross country more recently which is where the rest of their Natties came from. I got to text my father last night that his record for basketball is preserved since he is a UTEP grad

    After seeing Texas Tech lose the National Championship last night, I got curious about the number of National Championships every Texas school has across varsity sports. Team sports only as some schools have various individual championships like Baylor with 39 in track. Here's what I found: 

    UT: 46

    UTEP: 21

    University of Houston: 17

    Texas A&M: 13

    North Texas: 4

    Baylor: 4 

    SMU: 4

    TCU: 4

    Texas Tech: 4

    Texas State: 2 (Div II)

    Rice: 0

    UTSA: 0
