    No! I’m doubling down. My account hasn’t been hacked. Like everyone else here (who isn’t locked away in their parents’ basement) it’s disconcerting to see how badly UT athletes as a whole are looked at by the NFL.  There is a reason why. 

    Here is the full ranking of FBS schools with players on NFL 53-man rosters:

    Keep it up, you're still doing great! After the worst 8-year stretch of Texas football in decades we were still 17th in terms of alumni on NFL rosters.

    Really, you're doing great! Rock on!

    I swear, you're just using a random word generator now.

    Let's run Nicole's posts through a gibberish generator and see if we lose any value.

    NFL rosters? Top athlete who want to go professional and make money when we have shit to make money. Sorry but outside of UT who has heard of them?

    Sorry but outside of UT who want to make a living at it down for it in the guys who want to go professional and make a living at it down for you. Up until they wants to go pro come here? If they just want to make a living at it do you say? Phil Dawson, Justin Tucker...kickers

    Thoughts?

    Dumb question, is he here this fall or 2020?

    Not dumb at all. He's a 2019 recruit who should redshirt and therefore has no chance of playing before 2020 but should really be considered to be part of the 2018 class in terms of roster management. Got it?

    My point is most people play football to make money. Sorry but it’s the truth. We mess with people’s money when we have shit to show for it in the NFL. Top athletes aren’t attracted to UT as a school or Austin. Do you honestly think kids want to go to Birmingham? They want to make money. Or Ohio State? Seriously? Austin is a way better lifestyle.

    I was not aware that Texas had a football team from 2014 to 2016.  I keep searching the memory banks of my mind, and there's a big blank spot for those years.

    I'm with you. There are guys talking about the number of scholarship OL we had for a 2014 bowl game. I don't even remember such a game. I mean, people tell me I was at the game but I don't believe them.

  7. Just now, markstanco said:

    Why do all these kids pick aggy as their safety school then flip? Is it some running joke between the players?

    Who in particular are you talking about? I don't think Demas is going to flip, I think he's sold on them for whatever reason, just like Jaylon Jones and Leal last year.

    Most of the "flips" are guys that were never committed, never actually that interested in A&M, and their various site mods put in CB picks for A&M to create fauxmentum.

  8. And?

    What is the benefit to naming the generations and trying to draw dividing lines between them? The entire exercise is silly and tells me that someone born in 1943 has more in common with someone born in 1960 than they do with someone born in 1942 (using one popular breakdown), which is clearly absurd.

    No shit the year you were born (and also therefore your current age) affects the society you experienced. Nobody is arguing against that. The generations construct is just a lazy crutch so sociologists can look at a handful of big groups instead of more detailed subsets.

    For example, the Boomers are very different than the previous generation because of universal access to reliable birth control, higher family incomes (parents had great and well-paying employment in the post-war era), increasingly urban population (pre-war, we were still heavily rural and agrarian, post-war, not so much), etc.  Hell, their parents went through the Great Depression -- any of us with family members of that generation know how much that experience shaped them compared to those that followed.

    Let's take this as an example of why generation arguments are dumb.

    Who had more access to reliable birth control and a higher family income, a Baby Boomer black female born to one of the remaining sharecroppers in 1949 or a Silent Generation white male born to college graduates in 1932 New York City?

    What generation you're a part of is essentially useless compared to the other demographic information I just gave you about these two hypothetical people. Differences within generations are way more important than differences between generations. That's not to say there is no important information to consider based on year of birth, only that it is tremendously overstated and given way too much attention in popular culture.

  10. So is there any danger that A&M message boards are figuring out that the early CB picks their moderators put in on every State of Texas recruit with a pulse mean jack shit and are just intended to let them pump out bullshit stories about how the next class looks like it will be great for them?

  11. Actually, looking at it a bit more, their baseball program is pretty clearly their best program in sports people care about. Pretty consistently go to Omaha about twice per decade.

    And unlike certain conference mates of theirs, they actually win games there sometimes.
