    Amin has been going in particularly hard against everything about this Russ/CP3 swap. Almost frothing at the mouth every time he talks in opposition about it.

    whatever.

    What? Applewhite didn't leave. He was shitcanned for being a mediocre, uninspiring coach with a number of embarrassing losses. They then hired West Virginia's coach, a clear upgrade. You can criticize Fertitta's ownership of the Rockets, but there's no question he has helped greatly improve the University of Houston's football and basketball programs.

    the last thing you should try to criticize is UH and their sports program with Tilman. He's one of the the very reasons behind the major turnaround in the first place

    At the end of the day, this really isn't anything that a monocle, pipe, and one of those super skinny goatees couldn't fix.

    Chachos. Though you may want to wait until to buy avocados again. https://glowsd.radio.com/blogs/restaurant-runs-out-avocados-serves-bizarre-mockamole

    100% Taquito for good DF street food.

    Pappas restaurants always struck me as very consistent and about 80-85 percent of the way there on quality. You wouldn't go to one for a mindblowing experience, but it'd be consistently decent, if not inexpensive.

    Nothing to do with Fertitta's hospitality outlets, of course.

    Simpleton. UH-caliber mind. Should stick to Hotel Management. In Kemah. Nobody likes him.

    Except Tinman. Why? I don't know.

    i don't know about all this criticism being broadcast/posted against him, but i do know he's not a very sophisticated liar. MFer should just keep his mouth completely shut going forward

    I suspect people who call him a rube will eventually get sucked in to looking stupid, much as people who used to call Jim Crane cheap have been exposed as fools.

    As for calling UH athletics a shitshow, applewhite was a truly embarrassing hire, i'll give you that. But at least he owned the mistake and corrected it quickly to an impressive pivot with Holgorsen. Best remember too that he was instrumental in hiring and retaining Kelvin Sampson. So the best two coaches in UH history since Yeoman and Lewis have come on his watch.

    What has he done to prove he is “basketball savvy”?

    He has his son and Daryl Morey in his ear. He sure as hell ain’t going over the tax to give Harden/ Westbrook & Gordon help.... he will think substituting Westbrook straight up for Paul was all HOU needed. Then he’ll run his “red neck angry spew” after another loss in the playoffs next year , just enough to keep the fans “interested” and believing he is concerned and will improve the team next year. Same ol Ssme

    the applewhite hire was a tricky one. Herman had so much success with the turnaround and building it to great things, they wanted to try and do their best to keep as much culture herman and co had developed at the time. Obviously looking back, this was the wrong move but they definitely preferred to keep the next one in house to continue building towards what herman started. Now with holgorsen, theyre getting a guy who's going to set his own standards rather than applewhite who tried to emulate herman in such a way which obviously failed
