  1. Damn, just heard the news this morning. RIP to the best beef rib BBQer ever in my book. I ate at John Mueller Meat Co with a client of mine from AR for lunch mid week. It was pretty empty and cold weather so we went to some little bar next door (I don't live in Austin so not sure where we were) and we started eating. I made a comment to my friend that the pork rib we had was a little dry and I did not realize John was standing behind me talking to some other dude. He came over and I thought he was going to stab me. I then told him the beef ribs we were eating were the best I had ever had and he thanked me and gave us some free beers. My client from Arkansas still talks about how nice that pit master was that gave us free beer just for telling him how good his beef ribs were. Kind of sad I will never get to taste them again.
  2. Except for the 3-4 FL 5 STAR players every year that have always wanted to attend A&M and play for Jimbo in College Station.
  3. So, I really shouldn’t have done this but I was listening to ESPNU on XM radio this morning while in FL on a business trip. Not sure who was speaking but they literally were praising Jimbo for his recruiting class and how he does it the right way and is looking like the next Saban. They said if he can beat Bama with lesser talent imagine how good they will be with all of this talent coming in. The two announcers went on to rip UT because of the NIL deal calling out specifically that our OL get $50K without even playing and this is the wrong way to do things while A&M is doing everything right. I thought I was about to swerve off the road listening to this shit but sadly this is what America hears. UT-Bad and cheating with NIL, A&M-Good and doing things the right way and Jimbo is just the best recruiter out there. They mentioned nothing about their DC leaving and none of the kids questioning it or WR’s going to a team that historically doesn’t use its WR’s very well. I am just pissed listening to this kind of crap.
  4. Totally agree its all of the out of state ones that are telling. In state of Texas I get. The out of state states like you mentioned are the difference. Top kid in Tennessee is going to go to Tennessee if he wants to stay home and if not it would be AL, GA, Clemson or maybe a Ohio State. GA kids obviously go GA but maybe AL, Auburn, Clemson, FL. FL kids have FL, FSU, Miami and the SEC schools nearby. There is no world where College Station draws that many out of state kids like just happened.
  5. I think some kids really want to play for certain defensive coordinators because of their scheme and that was the key to all of these defensive players choosing A&M.
  6. Well Harris apparently loves their D coordinator and that is the selling point. Oh, and the money.
  7. I have some questions. So it looks like they are going to add 3 more 5 stars in Perkins, Stewart and Harris right? How many 5 stars do they currently have now? Will their final total of 5 stars dwarf even Bama and Georgia at this point? Also, I agree that the NCAA is a joke as they are allowing cheating to be pretty open right now and will do nothing about it. I don’t think A&M lost one recruit from Elko leaving which is kind of unheard of for any school.
  8. My plane is literally taxiing as I keep hitting refresh. What is taking Brooks so long?
  9. He is 6’7” and white which means he is the next JJ Watt. Night crew was all over this. Geez.
  10. Can’t wait to bump this thread in a few years when this kid is the second coming of Ed “Too Tall” Jones, Julius Peppers and JJ Watt all rolled into one.
  11. Maybe these kids just want to go to a school like A&M that has such a long and historic championship winning tradition in football along with being located in what many say is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It has nothing to do with them cheating and paying these kids.
  12. That reads like UT goes 0-4 on those 4 recruits but we get a trophy for finishing second with all of them cause we did a good job.
  13. User name and all for me but this is the kind of shit Bill Belichick does with the Patriots. He always seems to draft a long snapper and specific guys to be gunners on special teams along with the return specialist type guys. He apparently thinks special teams is a key to a football team's success and makes sure that there are key people in those positions. Not sure if that works in college with the limited scholarships.
  14. I just looked that kid up. Why is he going to Mizzou again? What a waste of a top tier WR, no? Chase Daniel is not walking through that door.
  15. Interesting that you bring up Trump with all this talk about peeing on things. /No CR
  16. Can't wait to see us lineup 6 OL, Cam Williams as the full back blocking for Rueben Owens and just dare people to stop the run.
  17. Banks, Williams, Hutson, Robertson, Neto, Agbo and Campbell? Would it be a good selling point to Arch to tell him that if you come to UT you may not get touched by a defender your entire time here?
  18. “I would love to but I bruised my testicle getting off the peloton” may be a new saying for me to get out of stuff. That plus the midget/dwarf line from Leon was fantastic.
  19. Yeah but Jimbo versus Saban could be some serious midget wrestling. Politically incorrect I know.
