  1. I like how aggy has been the 'one consistent' for Carter, even though OU insiders like their chances and he was actually committed to the thieves at one point. I would say OU has as much, if not more, claim to the 'one consistent' spot at this point.
  2. It's never that complicated...It's just Advantage aggy...Always and forever.
  3. More like... "Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?" "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"
  4. Article about Jimbo being real with pro scouts about Manuel.
  5. I also like how the Herman/Deshon dust up is portrayed. First, the Austin media doesn't seem to ever do jack shit to favor Texas. The aggy media will talk about it ad nauseum, but who will listen. Can Jimbo even go negative on this point...didn't he 'back stab' EJ Manuel to pro scouts?
  6. Also like "Johnson is a worse version of Green." Johnson has a much higher likelihood of being a tackle, even if Green has more overall upside (though that upside is probably at guard).
  7. Can't we go back to just having a curse on the tight-end position?
  8. I guess it is easier to not blame the coaching staff when you drop several rounds in the draft for being fat, slow and out of shape.
  9. Should have added the tagline: MackBrownTexasFootball...You can't hope for better.
  10. I don't think Strong's ceiling was anything but that. Basically we would be waiting for VY 2.0 to have a shot at winning anything, while OU adds another dozen conference titles.
  11. Didn't have a problem with Elliott leaving early. The likelihood he ever cracked the Top 2 rounds was minimal at best. That chart earlier shows there ultimately isn't a huge difference between 3rd and 6th round money. Also don't care about the bowl game either. If you have the chance of making even a few dollars playing pro, I don't think you should feel obligated to risk your health for an exhibition, especially after a 7-5 season. Now airing bullshit publicly about something said behind closed doors, that's bush league. Guy needs to grow up in a hurry. Hopefully he makes amends. If Herman turns things around and is 'King' in this state, I wouldn't want to come crawling back to Texas looking for work after a brief, failed stint in the NFL.
  12. 29 HRs also doesn't match any team with an 18-19 record...
  13. According to the NCAA stats, we are getting our hitting coach from Hofstra, Colorado St. or Texas Southern...but I guess it can't be Southern because that would be some Texas ties. As you say none of them had an 18-19 record. Or maybe it's Winthrop, UMass, or Wright St based on the 2017 stats? Or maybe it's actually no one...as no team had a BA of .277 in 2016.
  14. The idea here is that athletes can earn money outside of the university. So the pockets of alumni are likely going to be the most potent factor, but advertising firms are going to pay the biggest bucks to stars for teams with huge followings. So Big Red Auto is no longer engaging in a summer employment scam, but could just make a direct payment to athletes or maybe they appear in ads rather than punching the clock and then forgetting to return to Big Red's to punch out again.
  15. Pretty rich considering Jimbo usually sports the JGC (Just Got Cucked) look.
  16. Jacob was asking about Texas giving scholarships to players whose families don't need the assistance, not EHS. The question is if Colton is taking up part of a scholarship at Texas or coming on his parents' dime.
  17. Jimbo has a huge head and a short, stubby thumb, while Hamm has a tiny head and a comparatively long thumb.
  18. I honestly doubt they care, but if any of these 9.95ers had legit access, it would likely be a point easily confirmed or disputed. The only downside would be if they are telling other guys what the pecking order is (blowing smoke or otherwise). It might not look good if there is another highly ranked guy claiming he is being treated like he is on the short list. We have seen guys scared off from bullshit pay site reporting in the past. (Fuck you, Chip Brown!)
  19. It definitely seems like the pay sites are getting their info from the recruit side only. TFB has been on target a lot this cycle, but they have been doing commitment videos, so they don't really need to have a solid staff source for the guys who are getting the green light. But if Brooks is telling them he is hearing a lot from Texas, there might not be anyone on the inside to counter that assertion.
  20. It has been posited that reports of our recruitment of him are coming entirely from his camp. Odd in that TFB seems to be the most plugged in of the pay sites. Maybe TFB is just better connected with the actual recruits this cycle rather than having any good contacts on our side.
