  1. I'm betting both of them play for the first , maybe second game until one shows he is more of a gamer than the other in real game action. Seems to close for the coaches to make the call...
  2. This is what they need to get back to doing.. There is one or 2 plays that stand out to me from the 2005 team through 2010. Limas Sweed trucking 2 DBs at the same time and laying them out downfield to spring Ramonce Taylor free for a touchdown in the National Championship game against USC. Quan Cosby absolutely laying out Lindey Holmes (sent him flying) against OU to spring Jordan Shipley for a TD... We need receivers with an attitude..
  3. They should have most definitely left back then, but i'm not sure the PAC or Fox was the best option.. One of OU's gripes for leaving was Fox scheduling too many 11 AM games for them and not being flexible..Who knows what timeslots we would have gotten playing PAC teams... I think in the end, for recruiting and financial benefits, the SEC is the best move...I could see Texas (the state) recruiting being locked down now by the SEC which Texas (the school) should hopefully be a major benefactor of with the right coaching staff...It may take a few years after they join the SEC for it to happen, but they should be able to build a wall around Texas and the entire deep South now.... It may not be the best thing for all of college football right now for the SEC to be that powerful, but who knows what moves the other conferences will make in the future to counteract what the SEC did..
  4. ESPN buried Texas 10 to 11 years ago when they got them to agree to the Longhorn Network and broke up the original BIG 12 to let the SEC get a bigger footprint in Texas recruiting.. Texas and OU joining the SEC is just the final outcome of the plan ESPN put in motion back then. You are right, they did not have much choice except to join the SEC or ACC because of ESPN... Texas (powers that be back then) was playing checkers while ESPN was playing chess.
  5. I think the only thing that might stop the PAC from imploding at this point is some kind of PAC / ACC merger...It doesn't make geographical sense at all, but it could help both conferences stay intact... I feel bad for Tech and Okie State, but I don't think they are a cultural fit at all in the PAC. The progressives on the West Coast would definitely try to change some of their traditions. No more "guns up" for Tech for sure..
  6. If this PAC alliance doesn't work out, Tech and Okie State got slim options for the time being. I hope they can raid the AAC before the AAC and other Group of 5 conferences raids the leftovers of the Big 12. Hopefully they are talking with Fox right now on a backup plan like that...They need to make the Big 12 the best of the G5 conferences to stay relevant, and they may have better or more options in the future..
  7. I remember when Caden Stern's nickname was "Baby Earl" before he had all that badassedness coached out of him...I'm guessing the other guys; especially Foster, didn't get developed right either...Or, they just got tired of losing and had no motivation.
  8. A couple of years back, just for shits and giggles, i took a look at some of Clemson's recruiting classes from the previous years thinking man they must be killing it in recruiting with the way they play. I was shocked to find a lot of there recruiting classes composite scores were close to Texas's classes... Our previous coaching staffs have really dropped the ball on talent evaluation and development...I'm excited about this staff because it seems a lot of the coaches have a decent history in developing players... I hope you're right that they can turn some of the 3 star type guys into studs for us and make this team more competitive...Winning makes everything better...
  9. Maybe not sleazy, but we could definitely use another Carrington type closer. Pretty sure we dont land Ossai and a couple other players without him doing his thang. True. Find the guy that can out sale the other 10 guys that are also coming with bags of money for the same recruits...Carrington might be that guy, or might have been a good start until we find "the guy"..
  10. Who's going to catch them? The NCAA? I don't think they are doing much these days...Everyone is throwing money around; especially, since the NIL ruling...What is Texas waiting on? Still trying to follow rules? At this point, they should go out and find the sleaziest salesman they can find, and by sleazy, I mean the best. The guy that can sale ice to Eskimos and make them think they got a great deal. Give him bags of money and turn him loose... Seems like everyone else is doing that...
