I know you are making a point, and a valid one at that, but this seriously cracked me up!

it's a private school. Without recruits, it wouldn't have any students.

Wow what a headcase. Obviously has some jealousy issues. Good riddance I am thinking. But someone should tell Cecil not to worry. He can watch Malik play on Sundays like the rest of us.

Texas, meanwhile, is involved in a bidding war at the moment. UA has currently offered Texas $15M a year (a little over double the Aggies' deal, which makes sense). However, I heard from a very reliable source that Nike has let it be known that UA does not have enough money to outbid them for their prized program. We shall see...

Texas ranks 1st in total appearances in the BCS Standings with 105 weekly appearances since the rankings began in 1998.Texas holds the NCAA record of most consecutive weeks ranked at 162 from the 2000–2010 seasons.

what does none in the last 75 years make you? But, even with a subpar aggy education, is it your contention that only the teams that win it all are relevant? If not, how many top 10 finishes does Texas have in the last 20 years? How many schools have more? Relevance must be a short list..

We will always be relevant in football. It's only a matter of time, but you already know that. Fortunately, when we are on top we win and play for national championships. Some have to pound their chest and consider themselves relevant when they finish tied for 7th or 9th in their conference. In other words, whether it's football or education, you will always be little brother. Sorry sport :(

...and if all else fails, we are the 19th toughest school to gain admittance into in Texas. Which, coincidentally, puts us near the top of the SEC. So we have that going for us, which is nice...

slept through the 2014 season, did you?

Fitting right in with the SEJCC I see: [Hidden Content] time to hang another banner.

NFL highlight on 30 for 30 Megashorts? (Artfully crafted by Jack Daniels)

Kelly will be much better this year and even better next year. Helps that they arguably have PA's top player in each of the Class of '17 and '18, respectively. They also have one of the better class of '17 players from Nederland. I expect them to be near the top of 3A-Private I'm SETX this year and at the top next year, which will be AG (after Grayland).

Catalon walked out of practice yesterday. Had slipped to third on the depth chart behind Foreman and rumors were Warren was about to pass him up as well. It is looking more and more like Heard may never see meaningful time on the 40 acres. He has been unable to gain any traction since he's been there and Merrick appears to be poised to pass with him on the depth chart. With the MVP of the Elite 11 QB Camp coming in next year, along with Kai Locksley likely redshirting, here's another kid who may be better off finding a place where he can find the field. Again, kids don't generally transfer because they are succeeding. And with Catalon and Cherry, despite being talented, those type of attitudes don't seem to fly at the Flagship under Strong.

Charlie seems to be loving this team and believes it will be much improved this year and a national contender next year. All going to depend on QB play, which at this point seems to hinge on whether Swoopes has grown as much as they seem to think. As for Cherry, sorry you aren't the beast Malik is. Don't feel bad, by all accounts, very few are...

In fact, it appears HF ranks only behind Sabine Pass (41st) and Evadale (124th) in SETX among the top public high schools in Texas... HJ also highly ranked at 172... [Hidden Content]

Hmmm, according to testing for 2014-15, HF ranked as the 139th among Texas High Schools and Ozen was 1451st. (Sabine Pass was the highest ranked school in SETX at 41st.)

santos is supposed to be back which would move Malik back outside.

Interesting game on many levels. Happy to have the rivalry back on Thanksgiving week, even though it's not the game to which we are accustomed. This one is a toss up IMO. Assuming Texas is playing Shaka's brand of basketball, their experience and physicality inside against the Aggie Freshmen will be somewhat negated. Should be a fun one to watch though.

Top 5 program in television history...

LSU should be thankful they haven't gone the way of SMU. May be the dirtiest program in the country.

I agree in general. I do love the 30 for 30s though, and even the SEC Storied. Personally those are my favorite programs on their networks.

Ok, you should have gotten soaked from the sarcasm dripping from my original post. You can stop the schtick ;)
