Congratulations to Damion James!

The Link

Damion set the Big 12 record for all time Rebounds previously held by Nick Collison of Kansas. What an accomplishment! He's on track to also set the double double record in the Big XII. I can't believe I'm the first one to post this. It amazes me how good our team is and how luke warm our fans are. Those Iowa State fans were amazing. Come on Horns let's make the "Drum" rock!!!

I thought this was going to be about him going 7-7 from the FT line.

And to think that if Sampson had stayed at OU he wouldve been a sooner.

congrads and thank you Damion and thank you Kelvin.

I like what he said in the Statesman article. When asked about defending the #1 ranking, he said,

First of all, Congrats to Damion. He is certainly playing like he has something to prove and has helped his draft status quite a bit. The 3-pointers he hit last night couldn't have come at a better time.

Congratulations Damion! You represent the University of Texas WELL. Very glad and fortunate to have you as a Longhorn. Now, bring that championship trophy home to Austin.

He refuse to luse.

How do they do big xii records? is it since the inception of the conference or do they take cumulative records from the 12 teams in the conference?

By all means congrats to James, and let's not use this as an opportunity to rag on his free throw shooting; let's even laud him for the work he's put in there, as he he has improved to almost 70%. Bradley, Pittman, and Hamilton are the disappointments so far in that regard, not James.

 

[Third Coast]

I don't see anyone ragging on his FT shooting, but you are correct about his improvement. He admitted that it was his biggest weakness and made a commitment to improve it.

 

[bierce]

Well, actually, I thought that was you, but maybe that wasn't your intention.

 

[Third Coast]

Naw, ragging wasn't my intent. I just saw Damion in an interview a couple of days ago talking about how he would rather talk about his missed free throws than any records and that he was working very hard to improve at the line. He's a great role model for the younger guys.

 

[bierce]

He is that. I love having him on the team.

 

[cochamps]

Glad to have this guy on our side!
