Dude, hamm and fwk have a history together. It's not out of the realm of the possibility for him to approach fwk with this proposal: you give me your scoop first, which help me get more subscribers and I cut you a slice. Fwk is selling preferred walk-ons, and you think he won't jump on the chance to sell scoops. Why do you think both Texags and Hamm are sucking him off?

You do realize that you could have such agreement even before you bring in a single dime. No matter how much we put down aggy, their ability to sell hope to their base has been proven over and over again. It takes a special talent like Hamm to screw this up.

Won't shock me a bit if Hamm and FWK have some kind of revenue sharing arrangement. Hamm must have promised FWK a lot of new subscribers only if FWK would give him the first scoop. When it doesn't materialize the way it was promised, that's when it starts to unravel.

Herman will attract certain type of recruits at Texas, which may mean losing out on few talented in-state guys, and that's ok. You can't underestimate the value of the culture fit. Some guys are drawn to the Aggy culture, and there is no swaying them away from it unless they get paid by another program big time of course.

FWK is salty because he didn't get to take Demas to Austin and get all the attention/payment from Aggy that would have come his way. The last thing he wants is kids like Demas thinking and doing things on their own. Now Herman has got to know when to stop chasing these lost causes, but I am afraid his ego prevents him from giving up. No matter how talented these drama queens are they never impact the program.

He is torned between Aggy and Texas and the decision may come down to the wire. /EJ

Staff pulled his offer when they realized he had been recruiting for Aggy.

Someone called for me?

While the team's performance was nothing to write home about, I do give the coaches credit for changing their approach to playcalling. Most people here may disagree but here are my thoughts: QB play: Sam made better decisions. He didn't force anything, looked to pick up yardage with his feet when it was there, and made better throws. He did show lack of field awarenness on the play where he fumbled the ball but I feel like that's correctible. Sam is a fighter and bleeds burnt orange, which we can't say about other QBs. Besides you want to stick with the QB little bit longer to help build his confidence. Neither Colt or Young look like world beaters at this stage of their careers despite having a much better team. Playcalling: offense called a much better game even though the execution was lacking. I saw a commitment to running with the right personnell. They tried a few long bombs but execution was just not there. Defense: took a step back considering the strength of the opponent. They were missing a few pieces and i thought Gary Johnson continued to dissapoint. But i think defense will continue to improve and get into a groove by mid season. We are all hurting because of the opening loss and the team failed to capitalize on the opportunity to build momentum while Aggie had a relatively good showing, However, it's not time yet to panic. We can and should panic if they lose next 2 games, then I will join the mob.

I just scrolled through your posts and none of them are worth reading, and unfortunately for you and the board, you have been doing this for a while. The fact that you are not getting better at it after so many tries speaks volumes. Case in point: here is one of your latest posts: "We don’t want too many smart guys on the team. They can be problematic. They can start thinking about things like preserving their health. We need some dumb guys willing to totally sacrifice their bodies to win. Ya, that’s it." What the hell, man? Only teenagers would reason like this. Now carry on.

Why not both?

Long time lurker on Shaggy and Surly and first time poster. I have no recruiting intel whatsoever and will never have any. Not going to pay any 9'95ers so that I can cut and paste their content on Surly. Here for the gang bang with kandi and karen while I watch the shit show that's Surly.
