He's pretty much been compared to every great point guard by different people I've watched.

I'm pretty sure he said throughout high school and even this year that Dame is the guy he most compared his own game to or at least modeled after. If you don't know who Dame is then you definitely haven't watched a lick of NBA ball in over 10 years.

He is not as good of a shooter as Dame (yet), but is definitely better at getting to the rack.

Guilty. If you had me select Damian Lillard from a multiple choice pictorial lineup, I'd have picked this guy.

Quote from: Barton Fink on Mar 22, 2026, 12:06 AMI have never in my life bought a player's basketball jersey. I bought an Acuff jersey the other day. I will wear it proudly.

I have one. Dr. J. It's in a frame.

You could certainly do worse.

I got to thinking about something today. No matter how good Jordan Smith is, he's going to be unfairly compared to Acuff next season. Hope he's ready for it and overcomes any negativity from any idiots that bash him for not being Acuff.

It would be awesome if by some small chance we are arguing about who was better, Acuff or Smith.

The Calipari problem.

It's a good one to have.

His consistency is what amazes me. Has he even had a bad game? I don't think he's failed to reach double digit points in a single game. Best I recall is his low game of 18.

He had 12 against Winthrop and 10 against Jackson St.

Since SEC play started, his lowest scoring was  17 against USC-E and FL.

The last time I thought he had a bad game, I checked the box score and it was "Oh, he had 24 and 5"

I told a buddy of mine last week that Acuffs agent was a busy man. They know who's going to be the biggest star out of this class.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

ordered a jersey off ebay.  it actually wasn't that expensive, so it's probably a cheap chinese knockoff of a nike jersey.  it will look the same in my closet.  i doubt i'll wear it.

As a fan, I'm looking forward to him facing that challenge. Sometimes you eat the bar, sometimes the bar eats you.

i kind of had the same thought.  the hype machine jinx.  hopefully darius the great says "fuck that" and goes off for 50 points, 12 assists, no turnovers.

Seriously, he has started out a little slow in a few games. He comes on stronger as the game goes on though. If he can hit 50% of his shots, he will be fine. It seems Thomas picks up the slack if Acuff is off a little at the start of the game. I have all the confidence in the world in Acuff. He puts the team on his back when it matters and carries us through.
Well, shit...

We still haven't had a game all year where everyone showed up.  Let's have it be this game.

how brazile, ewin, and pringle play will determine if acuff even has a chance to win it for us.
