  1. Darrell Scott is one of the most famous busts of his era, for sure. He was a Texas commit for some time. After a semi-promising freshman season at CU, he demanded more playing time, transferred to UCLA, then South Florida, where he ended up having a marginally-successful career. He never played a down in the NFL.
  2. Brennan Eagles is a good one. I had such high expectations for him. How about D'Onta Foreman's brother, Armante? If I recall, D'Onta was only brought to make Armante happy and was an unknown afterthought.
  3. For me, Burnette is less about being a great player (though I thought he would be at least good) and more just for the extremely stunning and ridiculous way he sabotaged his own career. To ruin your career in one Facebook post is truly legendary. I actually felt sorry for him being so stupid.
  4. Tracking the spectacular, Dateline-worthy self-immolation currently being orchestrated by Johntay Cook got me thinking: Every college football fan, Longhorn or otherwise, has that one recruit they were sure would become a legend — only to watch them flame out in spectacular fashion. I’m talking about the ones who dominated in high school, put up record-breaking numbers, and were hailed as the “next big thing”… only to disappear into obscurity due to injuries, a bad fit, off-field issues, bad luck or otherwise. Who’s the biggest bust you’ve ever hyped up? You know — the one you told all your friends who are fans of other programs to ‘watch out’ for. Drop your most disappointing high school-to-college disasters in the comments. I’ll start with two Longhorns I mentioned in the Johntay thread from 2007-2008: Buck Burnette was an offensive lineman recruit from Wimberley. Buck may have been good at hunting deer, but unfortunately for Buck, he needed a trigger lock on his fingers, as he invited hunters on Facebook to bag Barack Obama after he won his first term. Using the N-word was also a nice touch. (No alcohol was involved in this incident at all.) Never played a down for the Horns. Andre Jones was a heartbreaker for me. Andre was a five-star defensive lineman from El Paso who also never played a down, as he got implicated in a strange robbery case w/ model citizen Robert Joseph. (remember him?) Andre Jones always claimed he wasn't even at the scene of the apartment robbery and it was a case of mistaken identify, but he was unable to clear his name, as the video evidence his lawyer produced was inconclusive. We will never know the truth, but poor Andre was cooked. That sucks if that poor guy got shafted, but pretty much anyone who hung out w Robert Joseph was compromising their career, reputation, safety, citizenship, life, etc. Love to hear yours. It can be from any college.
  5. Here is Arch throwing marshmallows from the shoot I attended. Really fun. insaneshayne1 is a pretty nice guy, too.
  6. Ohhhh, it was just a normal case of stealing car keys in the drive-though window!!! Whew! Thanks heavens. I originally thought that it was something strange!
  7. Okay, update: Here is the official reason Johntay got arrested in Fort Worth. If true, wow. Fort Worth police told WFAA that officers responded to a call for service where Cook allegedly went into the "drive-thru of a business, reached inside the window and stole someone's car keys." Fort Worth police said Cook "left the location," and then officers later made contact with Cook, he did not comply with their demands and was arrested. Officers were able to recover the stolen keys, FWPD said. Tarrant County records showed Cook posted bond on Feb. 4.
  8. From the old days.
  9. Let the haters hate. My boy will be fully exonerated from these perfidious claims. So will P Diddy.
  10. Do you think there might be a teeny-weeny chance that Jerry Jones asked Dak to make that statement? I can't think of any other reason Dak would say something so embarrassing, unless, maybe he's...stupid?
  11. This makes me want to start a thread of the biggest Longhorn busts of all time. Two linemen come to mind: Buck Burnette was an offensive lineman recruit from Wimberley who posted about hunting Black people after Obama won his first term. Never played a down for the Horns. Andre Jones was a five-star defensive lineman from El Paso who also never played a down, as he got implicated in a robbery case w model citizen Robert Joseph. (remember him?) Andre Jones always claimed he wasn't even at the scene of the robbery and it was a case of mistaken identify, but he was unable to clear his name, as the video evidence his lawyer produced was inconclusive. That sucks if that guy got shafted, but pretty much anyone who hung out w Robert Joseph was screwed. Who can you think of?
  12. The only similarity between Matt Stafford and Dak Prescott is that both are corporeal life forms.
  13. Jayden Daniels now has as many playoff wins as Dak Prescott. The fact that Prescott is the highest paid player in the NFL is insane.
  14. I liked your post, so I expanded it into a poem using iambic pentameter, courtesy of ai: Where are the ones who guide him on his path, The kin, the friends, the voices strong and wise? His fortune fades like footprints lost in sand, A wealth that years could nurture, now at risk. Oh, may Johntay find his way once more, And cast aside the shadowed steps he treads. No tale of folly, scandal, or regret— But only strength and promise in its place. For once he wore the burnt-orange proud and bold, A Longhorn’s heart still beats within his chest. So let him rise, let clearer days unfold, And may his future shine beyond the rest. Hook ‘em! msucolt45
  15. “I feel like we compete with the Eagles and beat them for the most part when we play them. I don’t want to say check the record when they’re the guys holding the trophy right now, so credit to them, they’ve earned it and they deserve it by all means. But yeah, very close.” Dak Prescott Lol. Once again, here are 16 NFL QB's I would still rather have as my QB then pay Dak Prescott $60 million. I removed Aaron Rogers and Trevor Lawrence from the list and added Bo Nix. Lamar Jackson Josh Allen Joe Burrow Jared Goff Sam Darnold Baker Mayfield Jayden Daniels Patrick Mahomes Justin Herbert Jordan Love Matthew Stafford Brock Purdy Jalen Hurts Bo Nix C.J. Stroud Caleb Williams
  16. Well, yes, yes I have. Don't lots of people do that?
  17. I guess no one showed this map to Brittney Griner.
  18. Of course we don't know, but if he does have an addiction, it just shows the power it has over someone. He has thrown away all the countless hours he spent perfecting his craft, learning the system, forming relationships with teammates and coaches, going to class (if he did) working out, etc, for a self-destructive endeavor. Again, just speculating, but the evidence is there.
  19. He is not posting to Instagram anymore. Not sure about X. Guessing it's hard to post when you don't have your phone.
  20. If you think about it, it really makes a lot of sense. And even though Collin Klein is their offensive coach, there is a definitely a parallel between the Eagle shutting down Patrick Meh Homes and the Aggie 2025 offense: Some owe Collin Klein an apology 8,376 Views | 48 Replies | Last: 1 day ago by AgsMyDude Forment Fan The Eagles used power football to humiliate the Chiefs and Patrick Meh Homes. They drove his QB rating 88 in Superbowls. Three picks is now called a P hat trick. The Eagles is what Klein is trying to build and he came damn close until Moss went down.
  21. Unless you're an American and get caught breaking laws in other countries. Then in that case, only American laws apply to you, as many an American tourist has found out.
  22. The Superintendent of the Lake Travis Independent School District allegedly might possibly have had that little problem. He just resigned by mutual agreement with the school district, which usually means, 'resign now and we won't have you arrested, cause we have all the invoices, you dumbass.' Also, the head of their school district police department also decided he needed to resign, cause, well, he needed to spend more time with the family.
  23. Haha. He's only joking, everyone. We often make that joke to each other about falsifying invoices. But it's only a joke, because I would never knowingly falsify invoices, but sometimes mistakes could possibly have been made. Hey, South Austin, maybe let's discuss this offline. By phone.
  24. Shit. Fuck. Did anyone else get this Zoom invite? @South Austin, does this have to do with our argument in the Accounts Payable call?
  25. Is no one helping this guy? Or is he refusing help?
