  1. 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.

  2. 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:

    "More Cowbell" SNL Skit Bell

  3. This is a very complicated case. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.

  4. C'mon guys, this isn't rocket surgery.

    In the opener where Saul is tearing through his office looking for hidden money, he gives his secretary a piece of paper and tells her if she needs a lawyer to call that number.

    It may be a New Mexico number, it may be a Nebraska number, but it is definitely Kim's number.

    In case yah missed this...

    Surprised Everett is gonna work with the offense since most of his experience is on defense??

    Two thoughts:

    1. Anwar made a mistake and Withers is going to be a defensive analyst.

    2. Withers is going to mostly self-scout the offense through the eyes of a defensive coach looking for weaknesses and tendencies.

    So you think we will win the big 12 and compete for NY6 bowl?

     

    He will be 4 years in without a big 12 title if he doesn’t win it this year going on 5. So in your opinion is a head coach going into his 5th season without a conference title good enough at our school? Also in this age of salary and etc is that acceptable results?

    No, that would not be good enough for me.

    However, at our school Mack Brown won his first conference title 8 years into his tenure. He did win the division in years 2 and 4, so he had that going for him.

    I don’t get why all the 9.95ers keep talking about Rakestraw’s long-standing relationship with Mizzou. They fired Odom and basically their entire staff with him at the end of the year. Is there any coach at Mizzou who could’ve even offered Rakestraw last spring and still be at Mizzou? I don’t see how Mizzou has any better relationship with Rakestraw than Texas coaches, especially Ash, who was unofficially our DC before Drinkwitz even got hired. 

    Good point, I had completely forgotten about Missouri's staff getting the axe.

    the relationships angle is weird considering that if he DID have close relationships with Orlando (lol) or Washington then they would be gone and he wouldn't have any here now. 

     

    He's saying that he didn't have much of a relationship with Texas coaches because they didn't start recruiting him until late in the process, while Missouri has been recruiting him all along.

    However, since his official visit, he feels that he now has a relationship with the Texas coaches and Missouri's advantage in that respect has vanished.

    When was the last time we got meaningful contributions from a PWO guy? We get excited for a couple every year around this time but it seems like they top out at "emergency depth that you wouldn't feel awful having to play".

    Also, we were all kinda WTF on the Valai hire when it happened, but the recruiting seems as advertised. He appears to have built a good relationship with Rakestraw in a hurry. I hope the dude can coach.

    Isn't this just the second or third recruiting class where Herman has emphasized PWO's?

    I would expect them to start having an impact their third or fourth year on campus at the earliest.

    It'll be interesting to see if Saturday signaled a change in offer strategy for the program or if Tom Herman and Bryan Chang simply thought, with the looming dead period it would be good to extend offers that would normally occur in February.

    Wasn't Saturday the first day of February?
