I would pay cash money to see a Nahlin - FWK parking lot brawl.

Talking about Demas is a waste of copy. He's going to flip to Bama in December, and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

Can the opening fight be EJ vs. Hamm?

Edited January 20, 2019 by Elmer_Fudd

[texasstrong12 4668]

My bet on who calls out FWK first is between Nahlin and Anwar.

I am talking arm strength. Murray has a top 5 NFL arm today. Mayfield is a notch below that, but you don’t get drafted at 1 overall as a short QB unless you can sling it. 

False

EJ would have the reach advantage but I'm pretty sure Hamm has radical Larry type powers due to his stature and the fact he might have a touch of the regards

My goodness, yes please. Anticipated EJ defensive moves: throwing his frappe at his attacker, and pulling pepper spray from his messenger bag purse.

EJ wouldn’t let go of his coffee and Hamm would pull a muscle before the fight even started trying to show off to recruits.

Who else does FWB have in 2020 and 2021?

Hamm would probably have some pocket chlorine he could throw in EJs eyes

Demond seems like an excellent candidate to carry on the aggy tradition of can't misss 5 star wide receivers such as Ricky Seals-Jones and Speedy Noil.

[billfromlaketravis 11520]

On the plus side, Texas can pursue bEast Texas baller Haynes King instead of Hunter Dunn.

He doesn't seem to be interested in Texas. Word is he wants to play in the SEC and isn't a fan of Herman's offense

It's probably a bad sign that I can"t tell which one you're referring to, but I assume this is a shot at Gray?

Salvageable? We are going to land all of our top OL targets and the weekend will be a big reason why. Not to mention the potentially best player in the state, Broughton. 

Yea, we might be able to “salvage” this  weekend. Right after you Summer’s Eve all of that sand out of your vagina. 

Convinced this “guy” is a girl.

Jimbo and the aggy fanbase are worried.  Jimbo told all these 19' recruits and probably a lot of the 20' guys Texas was all hype and wouldn't do much this past season.  They now have to hit the reset button and stuff like this is what we'll see going forward throughout the spring.

FWB is an awesome typo for FWK. Friends with benefits. Lots and lots of benefits.

A buddy of my brother's was in attendance of yesterdays event. This is what I gathered went down yesterday,

Herman was the first to speak to the group. To my knowledge he did not speak much on A&m, if at all. Sam and Caden Sterns then went up and addressed the group. Let's just say Sam was a little more honest. 

Sam said things like "who in their right mind would live in CS or Norman, OK than Austin, Texas." He also said the SEC hype is just that.. hype relayed by the media. They proved that on the field. Of course this was not his only subject he touched on. He talked about their progress as a team and how high they are climbing. Basically get on now or get left behind. He finished his speech with "If we played the aggies tomorrow, there's no doubt in my mind we would beat them down." 

Even after that Herman didn't say much about atm or sec. More like "oh great hope there's no camera phones around" 

So nothing that can't be refuted with facts. Imo, if Demas took all of that that badly, then he's fully bought in to Jimbo, and is pretty much a lost cause.

I want to believe you. 

It definitely sounds like something Sam would say.

It's not the end all be all for arm strength, but per combine ball velocity measurements, here's some mph measurements 

Josh Allen 61

Pat Mahomes 60

Logan Thomas 60

Davis Webb 59

Paxton Lynch 59

Kirk Cousins 59

Brandon Weeden 59

Colin Kaepernick 59

Jared Goff 58

Baker Mayfield 57

Carson Wentz 57

Tom Savage 57

Derek Carr, Sam Darnold, Andrew Luck, Ryan Tannehill, RGIII, Brock Osweiler, Blaine Gabbert, Sam Bradford, Matt Ryan, and Matt Stafford didn't throw at the combine

I understand why Demas might be upset.

After all the SEC did win 1 game during bowl season vs the shitty Big 12. (out of 4).

Such on what was said 

Spoiler

I've talked to just about every key recruit that was on campus yesterday, and from everything I've gathered today the talk of some "negative recruiting" being done by Texas against A&M is being way overblown. 

One recruit told me Tom Herman said something about recruits not needing to leave the state or play in the SEC to win championships and Herman pointed out that Texas just beat a top SEC school in the Sugar Bowl. Sam Ehlinger apparently said something similar. 

Another said Herman made mention of breaking the SEC "stereotype" of being the best conference, but that was about it. 

Other reporter are acting like it was some all-day event bashing A&M but that's not even remotely accurate. Much ado about nothing, for the most part.

---------

After someone asked if Demas felt the comments were directed at him: I think he was singled out once or twice, probably more in a joking manner, but he apparently didn't like it.

I buy that Sam might have been really "honest" during his part

[MonkeyDoughnut 10328]

Least of my concerns is our ability to land a top receiver in 2020.... Plenty of WR fish in the sea these days, just need

If Demas was somehow offended by some good natured ribbing, well, bye.  Need way thicker skin than that.  And quite honestly, it's the attitude of "screw what everyone thinks, we're going to prove we're tougher and more physical as we whip your a$$" exuded by the team in the Sugar Bowl that will carry over into next season and beyond.  If Demas isn't about that type of attitude it's best to find out now and focus efforts elsewhere.

Let's keep in mind that Aggie identifies more with the collective $EC than themselves, especially on the recruiting trail. Any attack on the $EC is perceived by the sheephumpers as an attack on Aggie. It triggers them.

Demas obviously came in hypersensitive to all things anti-aggie, because he is already brainwashed. If the same "thing" went down in CS next weekend and he was there he would not be triggered. He is all $EC/Aggie.

[billfromlaketravis 11520]

Such is growing on me. He tells it like it is.

I like him. He's generally pretty accurate (he was saying Stanford was in it for Bragg last January when everybody though he was a lock) and doesn't leak stuff like some of the other sites. Biggest issue is that he's the only recruiting reporter for OB so he falls behind on stuff sometimes. He also sits on stuff for his weekly columns which to me seems unwise in the recruiting world. I get why people don't like some of the other OB guys (cough Ketch cough).

The way the aggies dominated the Big 12 too. It’s hard to get past that 😊

Plus being in make believe categories like all time wins, national titles it’s hard to pass up.

As many here have noted the only time aggies are relevant is when they’ve cheated.

Jumbo will run them in the ground just like he left FSU.

 

[RabidM 2668]

We basically have 3 options in regards to the way recruiting is changing in the state.

1. Do nothing, lose out on many of the very top prospects, actively have some trainers and 7v7 working against us because they're paid to do so

2. Play the game too

3. Hire an army of private investigators to document the cheating and police the state ourselves

With the state of the NCAA, there really isn't a downside to playing the game except for losing moral superiority.  I'm all for option 3, but someone's gotta pay for it.

He's not worried about reporting bad news to his subscribers. This alone makes him better than 99% of the mods.

If texas starts winning championships, playing in the playoffs, and getting guys drafted, we can play the game as were doing now and tell people to fuck off. Well get all the studs we’ll need.
