He's a junior. The Shane Buechele kid from the metroplex was the mvp at the elite 11 camp last summer. Has a chance to be really good. I think we've all learned that you never know how good they will be until they lace em up on Saturdays. Garrett Gilbert was supposed to be all world and Mack went all in on the kid. May have eventually cost him his job to be honest.

I did not take it that way at all and apologize for my comment AAW. I was playing with you but didn't mean to offend anyone. My apologies (you didn't need to).

Now you're calling them special??? As in short bus special?? Wow!

We shall see but as to next season, it is entirely possible the best QB on that team isn't on campus yet. That Martell (sp?) kid can go. Hopefully for the Ags, he's a willing redshirt and delay that headache for a year. It's a rich person's problem but you do have to juggle those issues, especially at QB when you have elite talent. Texas will have a similar issue at some point with the Buechele (sp?) kid if and when Heard struggles.

He had a lot to do with them losing the final game against The University of Texas. Well, him and Case McCoy...

Everyone knows schollies are earned between March and July anyway...

Me either. Texas will rarely get anything but the other team's best shot. Iowa St. also hung with TCU for 3 quarters. We hung with TCU for 3 quarters of a minute.

Definitely agree with all of that and it would surprise me too. I think Texas will finish relatively strong and can win the rest of their games with the exception of Baylor (assuming Stidham isn't a train wreck). Not saying they will but ISU, Kansas, WVU and Tech are all beatable. I think you raise a very good point in that he seems like the type that would want to try and finish what he's started. I guess my only point is I wouldn't blame him if he did. If he felt he would be happier in that position and it is a better job for him long term, I wouldn't hold any ill will toward him. Seems like it could be the best possible job in the country for him, but who knows. In the end, I think they will hire someone else and it will be a non-issue.

I honestly think Miami is a better fit for Strong. Of course, he would make 2-2.5 mil less a year there. But who can complain about making 2.5 to 3m a year doing your dream job?

Mack Brown did the same thing in the Chris Simms debacle. Made a promise to a recruit and his dad but he lived up to it. I don't think he did it again and may have cost him a recruit or two down the road. Then he went to the only signing one QB per class. These guys juggle a lot more than most realize. Sounds like the aggie locker room is a mess. The good news is the schedule is pretty weak again with the exception of LSU down the stretch. Winning cures a lot of ills.

Agree with all of that. And to be fair, you can't really tell if it's really him. Not exactly Spielberg shooting the video either.

Sumblin now Coach Stumblin. Don't blame him. I would have had a few too.

if this is true, I have gained some respect for Sumlin. One of those hard things that needs to be done for a lesson for the kid, and more importantly, the team. More than I can say for Mack who allowed Case McCoy (who on his best day was nowhere near the QB that Allen or Murphy are) to keep playing after he told Coach Akina to shut up on the sideline. But as I said, punishment needs to be over. "It was difficult but Kyler learned his lesson and will be starting next game."

Miami need OU to take UT to the shed. Strong could have been great there, I think. He would literally pick who he wanted out of South Florida.

Apparently, Kyler changed his pics on Twitter from A&M pics to HS pics. Ol' Sumblin better do some damage control and fast. It is becoming apparent that Allen is not going to be a championship caliber QB (reminds me somewhat of Chris Simms - midget killer but tends to shrink in big games). I don't know what was said, if anything, between Murray and Spav. I also agree that a player has no business being disrespectful to a coach ever. But let's call yesterday a lesson learned and smooth it over. Because you need Kyler in the future and you probably don't have much of a future there with Spav calling the plays. I would probably take a page from Stong's book and make a change in play calling duties immediately.

Only 9 more years. Can't wait... [Hidden Content]

Chuck F'n Strong was on fire on Twitter again today. Hands down my favorite Twitter account to follow. I've enjoyed it the most on Saturdays we lost. The old adage that laughter is the best medicine is certainly true for me.

no idea whether that applies to HS. I think he went to Marshall. I know he was voted team MVP on his 8th grade team. Name is Clayton Carpenter. Great kid from a great family. Like you mentioned, a year of JV ball will probably benefit him in the long run. Never hurts to boost confidence and HJ has a lot returning. Regardless, I can assure Hawk fans you will enjoy this kid's time at HJ in every aspect. And none more than Coach Davis. This kid is very coachable with a great attitude. And never hurts to have something you can't coach - height. And plenty of it.

I hope and think you guys will be very pleased with Coach Williams in Vidor. Your example with Coach English is on point by the way.

The winner of Baylor/TCU would almost certainly make the playoff. And going into this weekend, I was told Baylor would be favored over every other team in the country. But what the hell does Vegas know? I mean, look at the ole Miss line and the USC line today. I just knew those lines were way off going into those games. Oh wait...
