Peppermint Patty Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Just goes to show UT isn't the happenin' place anymore like it once was. Why's that? Michigan was on this kid early in the process, so he obviously had interest early. If I'm a QB and Harbaugh comes calling, I'm listening too. He's not listening because it's Michigan. Quote
Anafanatic Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 ^^ denial Face the facts GCM...it's blatantly obvious Texas has lost it's charm and they'll never be what they once were... Yes I'm a die hard Aggie fan, but you're really kiddin' yourself...face the facts bro, they're staring you in the face! Quote

It's not a UT problem, it's an NCAA problem. You guys just keep winning in February and see how far that gets you after a while. Texas will be back and aTm will still be aTm. Heck, as bad as they were, if they schedule non-conference games like they do in SEC they would have easily had 10 wins this year alone. That would get you a $5M raise, a new field house, a helicopter, and a stadium expansion in aggieland. Quote

For anyone to assert that they "will never be the same" is ludicrous. Quote
Anafanatic Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 ^^ that ship has sailed my friend... A. First measuring stick is recruiting...Texas used to get whoever they wanted..anytime....no issues at all... --> well, not so much now....advantage Ags B. 2nd measuring stick is success...records may be similar for Ags & Horns the past few years, but Aggies have had more more quality wins... --> SEC overall better, better for Ags = advantage Ags C. Ya'll never lost February....OU 2nd....Aggies 3rd --> 2015 and it's Sumlin's 4th year...advantage Ags D. SEC...SEC...SEC -- Southeastern Conference is just better and I've told you this over and over...Aggies switching conferences is killing UT and even OU --> yeah, it's over dude Quote
Anafanatic Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Will Texas have successful campaigns going forward?...yes, as I do think it comes in cycles....but pure domination of the state of Texas in all facets of college football....never again Quote
OldTimer Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 This is my opinion: 1. Anyone that thinks that Texas will not be back at some point is wrong: 2. Any Texas fan that thinks that Texas will be the "God Figure" in National and even Texas football is also just as wrong; I have stated before that Texas is still the premier school both academically and athletically as well but Texas A&M, Baylor, TCU and others have seriously narrowed the gap in facilities, stadiums and overall attractiveness of their programs. Not that long ago Texas was the only school in Texas with top notch facilities and staff - now almost all the major schools have. Also, not that long ago Texas was the only State of Texas school that was on TV every weekend - you never had to miss a game - now Texas A&M has every game televised - that is a big equalizing factor. And while Texas fans do not like too - and never will - admit that the SEC move by the Aggie's was a major plus on their side (it was and will be for the foreseeable future). So while I do think that Texas will be back - I also doubt seriously if they will be able to command that Great State of Texas the way they once did year in and year out. Some fans will have to accept that the playing field has been leveled and I do not think that it is going to tip in Texas's favor only for a long time. TxHoops and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Quote
TXHORN_ET Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Same things being said now as when Mackovic was the Longhorn coach. Horns are doomed and will not be back to national prominence. I agree with OT. They'll be back. When they get back, who knows. One thing for certain though, when they do arrive, they'll have a pretty good stay on top for a good number of years. Quote

I'm about 50/50 Kyler ends up at A&M, but he won't go to Texas. Oregon, OU, and others are ahead of them in the Kyler sweepstakes. A&M needs to get a back up QB if Kyler doesn't come. They will be in big trouble if Kyle Allen gets hurt with all of the QB transfers they have had the last few years. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
braves24 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Texas baseball program will be what makes Kyler become a Longhorn and he'll bring Lodge and Daylon Mack with him Quote

(You boys might want to stimulate the economy and create him a job PDQ.) It's more likely this was the biggest internet trolling job since Manti's girlfriend. It has been fun to watch. Quote

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 I would not be surprised if he commits to Michigan. UT better worry about flipping Kai Locksley (sp) from FSU. ;) Quote

Among the meetings taken by the Murrays Wednesday were one with Augie Garrido and a lengthy one with Shawn Watson. And Kevin is not shy about telling anyone and everyone he doesn't want Kyler at A&M. So much for that spirit in aggyland. Quote
