This is why I wish the Texans could trade down a spot or two, or just had the 2nd or 3rd pick in the draft.  I think Mack is the closest thing to can't miss on the defensive side of the ball in this draft, including Clowney.

  My bad!  Now your post makes sense.  Sometimes sarcasm doesn't translate in print to dimwits like me - good stuff!

Lol - if Khalil Mack went to an SEC school this past season he would have been the best defensive player at that SEC school this past season (including SC since Clowney decided to take the year off). That kid is the truth.

That's a great matchup. Should make for very good ratings and will give Kentucky a solid test that they don't always get in conference. I look for Kentucky to handle my Horns but their bigs will get a workout. However, the college game is a guard's game and the Horns can't match up with UK's backcourt...at all.

  Don't forget 6'10" Prince Ibeh who will be a junior.  One thing is for certain, Kansas struggled with the Horns inside this season.  Adding Turner to the Horns (with what they already had) and subtracting Joel Embiid and Wiggins from KU will not improve their chances next season.  This Texas team should be built for a deep run.  Unfortunately, everyone may be playing for second because Kentucky may have the best roster since the Tarkanian UNLV teams of the late '80s and early '90s.

By the way, this would be legal in Texas. As long as you are a party to the conversation, you can record it without the other party knowing. As for who among us hasn't said things that we didn't want revealed, maybe so. But I have never gone on a disgusting, bigoted diatribe because, well, I'm not a racist a-hole like Sterling. He's getting exactly what he deserves. Sadly, because of his age and his history of this BS, he won't learn a thing and will die full of the same senseless hate he has likely carried with him his entire life. If the idiot wasn't a billionaire, I would actually feel sorry for him.

Lifetime ban was the only way to address this.  Sell the team and get out of the league.  There is no place in the NBA for an idiot like him.  Oh, and poor thing, he is only going to make a projected 4200% return on his investment.  Maybe his wife will finally file for divorce and get her share of the $800M.

The WOS/UT product signs a 4 year extension worth $40M with $27.75M guaranteed.  That's a WHOLE LOT for a safety but if anyone deserves it, it's little Earl.  Best safety in the League.  Congrats to a fine young man who does us all proud!

I love McHale but I didn't see any adjustments - especially on defense when Aldridge was unstoppable one on one.  How about a double team now and then?

Me too, King.  He is never going to stop shooting, even when he is having an off night.  But for goodness sake, give SOME type of effort on the defensive end!

  In referencing "better days when they were the power brokers in Texas college football," are you talking about roughly 90 percent of the years since they first started playing football?  And so shall it be soon...probably sooner than you would want to admit to yourself...

Great list.  Tough to make a top pick in Rounds 1-3.  An argument could be made for all of those guys.

I'm not sure about the situation with WOS coaches. They have always been very pro-Texas. But trust me when I tell you at that school, the players will talk to and take advice from Earl Thomas about UT before Cornell Thompson.

Dalton will thrive under Strong. Know his family well. But he is still a 20 year old who probably shouldn't share his thoughts when he is exhausted after a long week of football. FYI, he would be someone you would want recruits to talk to about Coach String.

Cumbie is going to end up being one heck of a coach. He is probably the brightest QB Leach ever coached. Extremely intelligent and also has some charisma.

I don't think you can characterize yourself as a "little boy" when you were 19 at the time... 😉

  Not likely.  The scouts/teams prefer the combine anyway.  Less "controlled" environment for the players and thus, a better gauge as to their abilities.

  My bad, I meant I didn't know if Deion got any snaps at RB, but he did play some WR.  I didn't doubt you on Mel!  I know the pre-facemask era is your specialty ;)  

  Not true!  I was young (younger than you!) but I remember ol' #20 well.  As far as running punts, kickoffs, and interceptions, I think #21 was more than a bit better than Mel.  I don't know that he ever played RB, but he did get some snaps at WR.  Renfro was a beast, Primetime was the best.  

  Which is why the SEC is perrrrfect for the Ags.  They can join the Mississippi schools of the world by claiming the accomplishments of others.  It's an SEC tradition.   

See, now you're minimalizing an awesome 9-4 season and a jaw-dropping 18th place finish in the polls. I mean really, who doesn't commit to memory the country's 18th best team each season? And let's not forget the two MNCs they found from the pre-prohibition era last summer. Maybe, just maybe, they will find another before next fall and catch big brother! (Unless, of course, we go ahead and claim the 11 or so we haven't become pathetic enough to add to the banners...)

  No, no!  They didn't suck.  They almost finished in the top half of an elite conference.  It's quite an accomplishment.  Then again, being mediocre at best in a conference is old hat to the Ags.

  Yet a ways back from Mizzou, you know that former Big 12 juggernaut?

  Congrats??  

  I can respect that evaluation.  Do you think that the "jury is still out on Sumlin"?
