UTfanatic Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Posted May 22, 2015 BTW Malik looked good in the spring game. It is really too bad thay A&M missed on him. They could use the help on D. Quote
UTfanatic Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Posted May 22, 2015 Texas finally wins a game against and overrated WVU (who have they beaten?) and now they are progressing - but Texas fans seem to have a short memory - did not they lose 23 - 0 to a good team (not overrated)? I have always stated that Strong was a good hire - but Texas has not been even close to the team that most predicted pre-season - Strong still has a long way to go to get Texas back into the NC chatter. I only remember back to 1963, our first NC. I am not sure now. It may have been a dream. It is always on the LN. :P :P :P :P Quote

It is always on the LN. :P :P :P :P Infatuated with Texas A&M Much? ta&m, where the women are champions and the men are cheerleaders. Seems to me you might want to be more concerned about your own team right now! Quote
UTfanatic Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Posted May 24, 2015 My sig line has been that for a while. When did A&M win in Womens BB? :P Quote

UTfanatic Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Posted May 31, 2015 I like the new WR coach, Revell.Has impressive resume. I hope it will translate to more production at the WR positions. Worst WR production in the last 10-15 years. I saw the players. I do not see the plays. Of coarse better QB play will mean better WR play, but at times, the WR's need to pick up the QB and catch the "not so perfect" pass and then do something YAC.Better OL, WR, RB, TE, and QB play will be required for better offensive production in 2015. Also better defensive play will be required for better offensive production in 2015. Quote
UTfanatic Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) As a follow to my previous post.2014 with worst offensive production at every position, including team production and special teams. How is that for brutal honesty? Edited May 31, 2015 by bulldogbacker Quote

PhatMack19 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 I guess he's not Texas Strong This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Du'Vonta Lampkin says transcript incomplete, but will UT let signee go? By Brian Davis - American-Statesman Staff June 1, 2015 @ 8:31 p.m. Recruiting is full of wild, almost unbelievable stories. The curious tale of Du'Vonta Lampkin is, shall we say, loco. The defensive tackle from Houston Cypress Falls appears to be tanking his academics just to avoid playing for the Longhorns. Only Texas might not let him go as freely as he hopes. When contacted Monday by the American-Statesman, Lampkin said, "I'm not trying to do any interviews." Asked whether his transcript was incomplete, Lampkin said, "Yeah, that's true." Asked whether he was indeed looking to land at Oklahoma, he said, "Hey, I got to go, man." Click. Whether the three-star lineman stays with his Texas pledge, heads to OU or goes elsewhere is a total mystery. The only thing certain is that as of Monday, Lampkin had not been released from his Texas letter of intent. "Charlie (Strong) and I haven't sat down and talked about it yet," Texas men's athletic director Steve Patterson told the American-Statesman. "Once we get a chance to talk, we'll look at it." This all began Saturday when Lampkin tweeted an out-of-the-blue apology to Texas fans that he wouldn't be on campus this fall. "Texas will always be in my heart but theres (sic) certain obstacles i have to face!" he tweeted. The Cypress Creek Mirror reported that he still had to complete a Spanish course to fulfill his foreign language requirements. Lampkin told the newspaper he didn't want to risk failing the Spanish course and have to enroll in junior college. "If anything, I may land at Oklahoma," Lampkin told the Mirror. "So, as soon as everything dials down, I'm going to contact (Bob) Stoops and see if they have any scholarships available for me." According to the National Letter of Intent program rules, if an athlete is denied admission to the university, then he or she is free to go elsewhere without penalty. The Texas admissions office could delay a decision for weeks, possibly months, and that could keep Lampkin sidelined through August training camp. Or he could even be given provisional entry status at UT. If that happened, all NLI penalty rules come into play, and he could lose a year of eligibility. And according to NCAA rules, coaches at other schools are not allowed to speak with players signed elsewhere. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

TxHoops Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 Adios. If he don't want to be there, go somewhere else.I completely agree. It does raise an interesting issue in my mind though. Why are we okay with players changing their minds on commitments or transferring but get so upset when a coach pulls an offer or doesn't renew a scholarship? Shouldn't that knife cut both ways? Full disclaimer - I am as guilty as the next guy with the double standard. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 What about coaches that bail on their recruits? Quote

Not for 1 year, but for 4 years. Quote
