Horns need to start hitting some shots. Working so hard for so little.

Can't let St Joes outrebound us

Texas has pulled away in the 2nd half. 67-58 to wiin the Legends Championship.

– Why does Rodney Terry button his top button on his shirt? Is he a nerd?
– I give a game ball to Shedrick tonight. This guy had a great game. Timely shots, good defense. He has come a long way.
– Mark played well, but he needs a few more games to get up to snuff.
– Johnson again was throwing up shots. Not productive in the first half but they started falling in the second half.
– Weaver is a big reason we won. His defense was oustanding.
– Julian Larry is a good player.

You are a bit behind the times on current fashion. This is a popular style with kids these days

I guess so. How old is Rodney Terry?

Plenty old, but he spends the majority of his time coaching teenagers so he's probably more connected to what is cool these days than either of us.

My style has been consistent over the years, some years I'm in and some I'm out but I'm me. The only time I ever buttoned my top button was back in the day when I had to wear a suit and tie for work. Even then, I'd unbutton the top button most the time.

Yep, me as well. But it's a fashion amongst teens and 20s these days.
