whatnamecanipick Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 You had better want to live right, work hard, and treat people right if you want to be a Longhorn. Coach Strong is dead serious about his rules being the only way. NO EXCEPTIONS And living in the athletic dorm. Quote

whatnamecanipick Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Again impressed by what is going on in Austin. Another 4* recruit is leaving the program per Bleacher Report. I believe this makes 12. Another schollie for a player willing to work hard to be a Longhorn. Quote

whatnamecanipick Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 maybe I'm too old fashioned, but I wish we had hired Coach Strong after Fred Akers. I know he would have been a little bit young for the job, but I bet that nobody bullied him in the sandbox. Quote
whatnamecanipick Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 more from Coach Strong............ Head coach Charlie Strong cautioned against putting too much stock into facility improvements in his own interview with Sirius XM's Camp Tour. "I'll tell a kid, 'Hey, we have a nice training room but at night you're not sleeping in that training room,'" Strong said. "You're going to go off to your dorm room or go wherever you go. "If a young man is coming here for a facility he's coming here for the wrong reason," he added. "I want him to come here because he loves the University of Texas. I want him to come here because he wants to get an education, a great degree from a great university and that he wants to play for this great university. That's what it's all about."

whatnamecanipick Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Did you see Coach Strong on the ground doing push-ups at is Kids Camp? I want him with me, if I have to go in a dark alley behind the Dixie Chicken. Quote

I want him with me, if I have to go in a dark alley behind the Dixie Chicken. Until he wins games and at Texas lots of games he is just another push-up doing head coach. When he wins his first game against a ranked team - and he will (but will it be this year?) - then you can start signing his praises. Quote

TxHoops Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 and OT, what are going to say when he wins more games than A&M this year? I will field that question - "But, but we play in the mighty SEC!! At least here it gives us an excuse to be mediocre!" Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

Texas CHOOSE to play in the mediocre Big 12 - A&M CHOOSE to play in the SEC (the best conference in the NCAA) - live with your teams choices. You Texas fans seem to be upset at the SEC - stating that you should should support your team not your conference. Texas A&M is and has been now for the last 2 -3 years a better program than the mighty Texas Longhorns and Texas fans point out that A&M was 7th in their division - fact is that they were but WERE STILL BETTER THAN TEXAS! I still am not saying that Texas will have more wins than A&M - will make that decision after the SC game. Quote

How can you say you are better if that guy beats you? Outside of Gilbert, he brought UT down several notches Mr. Buddy Garrity and TxHoops 2 Quote
TxHoops Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 They are better because they play in the SEC and don't have to actually play us anymore. BUT, BUT they really want to play us. :rolleyes: (So they can get beat down by whoever we trot out there, including Case McCoy, about 3 out of every 4 years.) Yawn. They are becoming boring again.

whatnamecanipick Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 What will you say if they don't? I'll be here waiting to hear all the Aggies spin this when this season is over and Texas has more wins. There is a chance that Baylor, Texas, and TTU all win more game than A&M in 2014. Well there is one Aggie here making some sense. SEC SEC SEC SEC SEC SEC Quote

Yeah, that's it. You nailed it. I'll be in the stands watching ATM vs L$U on Thanksgiving, in the exact same time slot the other "must see tv" will be The Mighty Horntoads vs the Greatest team in the world.
