    Apparently, when A&M started the search for Sumlin's replacement and Jimbo's name was brought up as aggy having an interest in, Karen told her FSU buddies that Jimbo would never work for a second-tier football school.

    This would be worth some digging.  What is the FSU board she was on?

  2. Ags bitching about their branding is hilarious to me.   Unfortunately, I have had the misfortune of being on their campus several times this year and you can't walk 10 steps without some goober saying, "Howdy!"  

    This is their brand!  And they all buy in.  It's moronical.

    Perhaps I shouldn't put this in public, but anybody hearing anything about Tom Herman making a move with a certain Aggie 5-star?

    I agree that Demas seems brainwashed but if you want to start that rumor here I guess we can roll with it.  1. Demas flipping and maybe even the talk of it may cause wrist splitting over on texags.  2.  They are likely to believe it with the way this month has gone for them.  Keep in mind the volleyball story got wings.  So anything is possible.

    Because the Aggies hate any coach that Texas has, they always assume everybody hates any coach Texas has. They feel obliged to feed that hate with lies. Same way they feed their own need to feel loved and important.

    I think Herman is probably polarizing for a lot of schools.  tosu certainly has a hatred as well.  I don't care if he is liked by other programs or not, as long as he is ours and is producing.  Right now the things that people are pointing to are not a blip on my radar.   If he was ignoring sexual assault or something like that it would be another story.  But I would damn sure rather have Herman than Jimbo with what is publicly known or speculated about the two.

    Man it all just makes me sad that he's not back. We damn sure could have used him, and even if he never bled burnt orange his attitude clearly didn't stop him from showing out last year. IDGAF if he viewed his time at Texas as a springboard to the career he was hoping to have, that's what college is for. But now it doesn't look like he's got the career he was wanting and we don't have our top receiver and it seems like a big lose-lose.

    First of all it was totally his decision.   Second, if he didn't want to play for the longhorns this year, we will be better off without him this year.  That is all the team needs is a senior cancer.  I don't know that he could have topped last years production.  If he can't prepare for the NFL career who is to say how he would have prepared this year.  I wish him the best but once he made his decision it is not worth looking back to "what if" or "what could have been."  Next man up and be excited for the opportunity.

    I wish him the best and thought when he went to the Saints he had a very good shot but the fact that this hasn't work out makes me think we may not miss him that much had he returned.

    I'm genuinely curious as to why they think they have a more talented team than us. Admittedly I'm biased, but I can't think of a position group on their team that's better 

    1. Because every media outlet in BCS and all of their 9.95s tell them that. 

    2. And they purge anyone who dissents. 

    3. Without us kicking their asses they have forgotten what big brother is like.

    4. Anyone we beat out of the SEC was more talented but unmotivated.

    5. The simple fact that they are in the SEC means they have better players.  Even if they finish 5th in the West of the SEC it is with better players. 

     

  7. If we take Hester, I hope he turns out to be one of those guys that comes in and surprises on the big stage like the RRS.   Maybe he will play with a chip on his shoulder v. ou and osu.  Maybe not. But if he can't perform with our stable of receivers he won't see the field anyway.  I'm not usually a trust the staff cheerleader but at this point I don't have any reason not to I guess.

    Well, can we start snitching yet?  Texas needs to snitch or start paying damn it.  Tired of this motherfucking bullshit.  Fuck it, pay people.  Process the dead weight and build a juggernaut.

    this has been discussed ad nauseam.

    i admittedly don't see a whole lot that jumps off the film with him, other than a pretty polished version of an average athlete, but my only internal consolation is this - if you're the coaching staff, do you really want to bring on the son of a kid who don't think can contribute? that seems like asking for trouble, i'm assuming they see something in him, otherwise you're just inviting discord, especially with spots at a premium. 

    Its one thing to bring on the son of coach.  It's another to give him a scholarship.

    What kicks is Mensa wearing? 

    I ran into a guy at Cafe Du Monde in N.O. this summer who was wearing those.  Asked him where he got them.  He was on the UT staff and Nike sends them to them.  Not sure they are available for purchase.
