    Samples would be the obvious choice. great at recruiting   his dad is respected. Both Have a ton of juice in DFW.  

    Or, an old white guy. 

    What do you think the move would be?

    Beatty has a reputation for being a good recruiter, specifically in the Dallas area.

    His experience

    • high school head coach in the Dallas area
    • college coach for over 10 years
    • recruiting coordinator 
    • college head coach

    Nothing against Samples because it seems he may have a good future, but Beatty would be a better hire.

    He was terrific. There are almost always pairs of actors who struggle for the same role. I think Samuel L Jackson partially eclipsed Laurence Fishburn, for example. An older example would be Lesley Ann Warren and Susan Sarandon.

    Dennehy stated once that he frequently was the second choice behind Gene Hackman. I hadn't thought of them as being similar until he said that. They both bring grittiness and wit.

    RIP Brian. Some very good work you leave behind.

    I would rather get in a fight with Gene Hackman than Brian Dennehy.

    Dennehy would kick Hackman's ass.

    I was guilty of this, until I realized I was thinking of Charles Durning. Which led me to looking up his “Sidestep” number in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, so it was a good diversion.

    And when I was thinking of Dennehy's roles I thought he had played Jessica Lange's father in Tootsie, but that was Durning.

    Other movies Dennehy were in include Foul Play (starring Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn) and Cocoon (starring slimy alien pods), but my favorite performances were First Blood and Silverado.

    He really made a good bad guy. RIP.

    Patterson really leading the charge on this one:

     

    Well, Patterson is the longest tenured major college coach in the state.

    He also seemed to be the most personable or maybe most comfortable in front of the camera out of that bunch.

    Holgerson is even more of a wreck than usual.

  6. I'm not being critical of Clayton Smith. Hell, I've never seen him play. I'm sure he's a recruit we would love to have on our team.

    But if you are going to say this about a kid:

    Above average lower body explosiveness. At least average acceleration and deceivingly good top straight line speed. 

    ....then don't say he's a Derrick Johnson clone.

    The adjectives for explosiveness, acceleration, and straight line speed should be words like "incredible", "exceptional", "unbelievable", "once in a generation", "otherworldly", "mind-blowing" if you are going to compare a linebacker to Derrick Fucking Johnson

    Hal Presley, WR, Mansfield Summit

    Matthew Wykoff, OL, Magnolia

    Tommy Brockermeyer OL, Fort Worth All Saints

    James Brockermeyer, OL, Fort Worth All Saints

     

    Would this be an acceptable offensive class? 

    Is it realistic?

  8. From the above IT Scoop

    I maintain that Fatheree has a ton of upside. You don't see this often from an offensive tackle.

    What? Most guys who are projected to play tackle in college have a lot of upside.

    Maybe he meant to say that Fatheree has even more upside than most tackles.

    I maintain that this was a poorly written article. You see this often from 9.95ers.

  9. The family was evasive about his illness because they realized the California medical system is vastly inferior to Texas.

    Any country doctor could tell that Bru had a fever for which there is only one cure:
