  1. Can't we go back to just having a curse on the tight-end position?
  2. 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.
  3. Should have added the tagline: MackBrownTexasFootball...You can't hope for better.
  4. 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.
  5. I often have nightmares about that...
  6. 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.
  7. 29 HRs also doesn't match any team with an 18-19 record...
  8. 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.
  9. We all know the answer to this, 'Advantage aggy.'
  10. 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.
  11. Pretty rich considering Jimbo usually sports the JGC (Just Got Cucked) look.
  12. 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.
  13. Tell that to Nik Bonitto.
  14. Jimbo has a huge head and a short, stubby thumb, while Hamm has a tiny head and a comparatively long thumb.
  15. 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!)
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. I hate QBs, RBs, and Sportswriters.
  19. No 'spousal support', but Taylor's trying to make a case that she should pay him 'child support' instead.
  20. I would almost feel somewhat better about her mental health if she switched her allegiances to Reveille. You can compensate for someone's extreme love of dogs, but the over the top Jimbo love is creepy.
  21. Austin Orange should have captioned it, 'Stuardist, I speak Image Posting.'
  22. The other thing to factor in here is that most staffs who haven't filled out their dance cards, no matter the state of their pecking order, are going to try and get guys to hold off on committing. Just because Texas made a last ditch effort to get him to delay his decision doesn't say anything about where Texas projects his position on the field nor does it imply that he was a highest priority recruit. They just didn't want him picking aggy now. It could be because they 100% had him as their most important recruit or it could be they have him in a group of 3rd tier back up plans as a worst case scenario. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but Young should have just kept his mouth shut in calling out other programs. His Twitter actions the day before his commitment, his interview with Hamm, and now his father's weepy Twitter vagina suggest he was probably backburner for our staff due to mental evals.
  23. Here are Jimbo's 247 composite rankings...someone else can check and see how many of his 3-stars panned out. Even Mack Brown regularly had OU putting up Top 10 classes. Year Rank 5-stars 4-stars 3-stars Top 20 ACC competition and rank 2010 #8 3 7 19 #14 Miami, #15 ND 2011 #2 4 12 12 #9 ND, #10 Clemson, #18 UNC 2012 #4 6 9 4 #10 Miami, #17 ND, #20 Clemson 2013 #11 2 8 11 #5 ND, #14 Miami, #15 Clemson 2014 #4 2 14 12 #11 ND, #12 Miami, #16 Clemson 2015 #3 4 10 6 #9 Clemson, #13 ND 2016 #3 1 17 7 #11 Clemson, #15 ND 2017 #6 4 8 12 #10 ND, #12 Miami, #16 Clemson
  24. The best part was when Taylor said, 'Whose your daddy, now?' And Jimbo yelled, 'Cum [down here] and then say it to my face!'
  25. CTJ actually sent HenryJames as his stand in.
