Hummmm. Tweet has been deleted.

The aggies can recruit anyone and everyone they want. The problem is that once they sign'em, someone has to coach'em.   They have not done a good job of doing that on the defensive side of the ball.

  Funny how he is not mentioned for all those NFL jobs lately.

  It's glorious!  Lots of pot banging going on right now.   Sumlin may have to drive his car to work this week.

The natives are getting restless:   Kevin Murray â€@air14football  36m36 minutes ago Easy to win at the HS level w/o a Defense----that's where it ends!!

The amount of media coverage for this whole thing is a little much. The kid is picking a school to play football. He did not discover a cure for cancer.

Never gonna happen.

You missed the Emporia St. University Hornets. I think Adidas provides the baseball team one pair of shoes or cleats (slightly used).

The o line was the biggest bust of the season. Sherman and company could have developed that group.

He's an aggie.

Hope he enjoys himself in aggieland.

Game is being reported today as SOLD OUT.   William Wilkerson â€@WVWilkerson  3m3 minutes ago Just got a press release from @TexasBowl saying that the game is officially sold out. @HornsDigest   Here is a recent article.   [Hidden Content]

Just keep that team that tore up UT in the Cotton Bowl a long ways away from here. 

There's an old saying:   Win if you can. Lose if you must. But always cheat.     My son played Division 1 baseball for 2 years. I have heard stories and know things to be true. One thing is for certain-They are all cheating.

Nike is about to add Michigan. They are a big market no matter what their record.   Under Armor is gaining some ground, but their alternate uniforms are just horrible.   Adidas is trying, but they will always be Adidas.

  Data? What data? I guess I could go pull up all the recruiting rankings for the past several years and it would prove my point. You can see the results on the field. Bama recruits and coaches their 5 start recuits. UT was not coaching them. The won-loss record proved that out or he would still be at UT.   As an aggie, you know that even if your offense if scoring quickly, putting your defense on the field for the majority of the game can lead to bad results. Add to that a Pick 6 here and Pick 6 there, a blocked FG for a TD. It adds up.   Yes. In most games your offense has to score 60 to win. That's how Sumlin runs the show. However, a superior coach with superior athletes will shut that show down faster than a North Korean hacker.   This database goes back to 2006: [Hidden Content]

  Athletic program? We're talkin' 'bout football!   The players under Mack had become soft and entitled. That happens with many 5 star recruits. Everything is given to them and there are no consequences for their actions. They have been treated like kings during the recruiting period and many did not put in the effort once they got on campus. It's the coaches responsibility to squash that mentality and coach them up. THAT was not happening at UT for the last 4 years. MAck had turned into a grandfather figure and not a father figure.   UT benefited by the Big XII being a very top heavy conference. Now, the middle groups have caught up and some have passed them. It was time to make a change.    When you add to that UT's inability to recruit and develop the QB position it amounts to "falling apart". Hell, if Swoops was at all consistent, that defense this year earned 3 or 4 more wins (K State, OU, BYU, TCU). You just can't win with your offense and special teams giving up 14 points  in crucial games.   Strong will get the "benefit of the doubt" for one more year. Then results will be expected.

  You have to scrape the walls before you can paint.

  Man, I hate cancer! I pray the treatments go well for your dad and your family. It's tough on all parties involved.    This place is a great stress relief. However, I can really tell when things are tough at home because my replies get a little terse.    Hang in there. You're never alone.

Stop by and say hello. Section 102 Row J Seat ?? Gotta get myself a fresh tee.

So K Sum gets around 1.5 wins per 5 star? Sounds like Chuckie is doing a much better job with less talent. They could have settled this on the field, but someone Dixe Chickened out.
