Don't worry. We will.

I legitimately double-checked on my phone to see if the poster was rickyspub. Are they really claiming that seeing your LT collapse on the field is considered attention to detail? Wouldn't attention to detail be to properly hydrate your players and see to their safety so they never get to that point? JFC aggy.

yeah, their default whenever they would lose out on a recruit was to claim we cheat, which is ironic considering the only post-WW2 modicum of success their program has ever experienced was when they were cheating their assess off, but the personification of Uncle Red as the one who does the paying really just makes it more entertaining to read.

Isn't that off 183 and Burnet? Username does not check out.

Nah. It was something along the lines of what golfclap and Elmer Fudd said. it was either Perrin or the Dean of the McCombs business school (Can't remember which) and Jackson, in a 247 interview, said Red McCombs spoke with the recruits on their OV. Ever since then Daddy98 and his army of intellectual midgets have run with the idea that McCombs buys all of our recruits.

That actually could've gone much, much worse for him. His face right at the end kills me.

I think we found RC Slocum’s surly handle.

Fify

How can you not? He's not that far off from most aggys I know when they start to talk football. Add the confidence that comes from posting on a message board, and he's pretty much exactly how I would imagine most of my friends as posters on an aggy board.

and the asians. /the shag

I figured it was because they didn't have any DTs.

I figured something similar, but this staff can flat out recruit. It’s even more impressive when you consider that the staff has non-offered/stayed away from a significant number of top 30 recruits.

Herman blitzing the state of CA is absolutely tremendous and UT should've been doing this for the last 20 years. It's one of the three most talent-rich states, but it's easier than to pull kids OOS from there than Texas (2 good recruiting schools in state and ever blue blood in the country tries to recruit here) or Florida (3 good recruiting schools and kids seem hesitant to leave the south). In CA, USC is obviously a blue blood and we won't bat a very high percentage when going up directly against them, DeGabriel Floyd notwithstanding, but they recruit nationally and can only take so many good players. Schools like UCLA and Stanford aren't dominant recruiting powers in-state and kids in CA are pretty hesitant to go cross-county to cold northern schools or schools in the south. Oklahoma has been taking advantage of this for years but it's easier to pull a CA kid to Austin than Norman (unless maybe they're from Bakersfield). The state of Texas will have weak spots every year and we need to hit up CA and Louisiana to supplement those spots every year. I've been incredibly impressed with Herman. He gets it. He knows how to manage a massive football program, like UT. It's frustrating because he seems to be doing every single thing right, except getting wins. I don't like that Beck is still our OC, and I think our offense will once again pull down our ceiling significantly but if Herman can just get to 9 wins against a fairly easy schedule and then get a better OC next year, he could really get this train moving. And if he does, I don't foresee this thing stopping for many, many years.

So much this. Texas will not start any true freshmen at QB, OL, or TE. This is what we should want, but we’re so used to a true frosh getting talked up every year because there’s straight up garabage ahead of him at his position that we forget that.

Damn. The Arkansas Times brings it. From the last paragraph of the article: "No word on where he's moving, but there's a little internet speculation that he might land a permanent role of some kind with the Patriots organization. Such a move would represent a change of pace for the Pats, known for hiring highly competent staff. "

They're no Waco, that's for sure.

So about that offense won the scrimmage debate...

That wasn't the reason for GJ not going to Bama. It had to do with a specific class that was required, and it was an SEC requirement, so he couldn't go to any school in the SEC.

Yeah, I certainly don't think we have the best odds of signing him right now. Ifsome of Bama's young LBs come on this year and he doesn't see a starting spot for himself there, plus he visits campus and Gary Johnson puts the hard sell on, we could have a good chance at him.

I'd add Catalon at S. He seems to be extremely high on the staff's board. And if we're really dreaming, then I want Sanders over Cain. I'd also expect the staff to take a 4th DL, maybe that Juco Jermaine Johnson, or a late riser.

I'm not sure why I'm even starting this at this point because things already do not look good. We were an absolute dumpster fire last year after being projected as a wild card preseason. If a player could get hurt or have a bad year, they did. The front office seemed to chalk that up to very bad luck and was betting our players could return to the mean while dishing out some modest prospects for aging vets like McCuthcen and Longoria. Clearly, the front office wanted to keep the window open for another year or two while the franchise has cornerstones like Posey and Bumgarner (oh great he's out 8 weeks to start the season) even if the odds of the team winning another title are quite low. I wasn't a big fan of the moves but I guess I can sort of understand the FO's thinking. The team started out winning its first two games against our hated rivals by a score of 1-0, both with Joe Panik home runs. Fast forward 3 games and ...
