I don’t know about it being common, but I remember Sam Acho being in the business school when he won an academic award for student athletes.

True, I am also certain that Manny Acho majored at the Plonsky school of Cunts and Bitches.

White/Scott is the ROV

Flowe is the MAC

Dobrah is the B

Flowe is a Rover all the way.  I could see Scott ending up at Mac, but overall I think this is Orlando’s strategy of recruit a bunch of Rovers and the guys who lose or end up too slow move to Mac.

Wouldn’t faze those waterheads in the least. Wouldn’t even register.

 I taught a major class at McCombs for several years.  The only athlete I ever had in a class was Kalen Thornton.  It cracked me up to see Mo Bamba saying he picked Texas because of McCombs.

All three of these guys went to St. Mark's in Dallas, so they definitely went to college to play school.

Kalen picked up his MBA from Stanford (I believe) after retiring from the NFL and worked with NIKE the last I heard.

Sam picked up his MBA from Thunderbird in Phoenix and according to the Wiki, Manny was a Sports Management major in college and "On February 20, 2015, Emmanuel took time off from his graduate studies at the University of Texas and flew to Purcellville, VA..." (from Wiki), so Manny's getting a masters in something. (Probably already has it by now.)

Not only three very smart guys, but all came to college with an understanding of what it took to excel in a competitive academic environment.

Kalen was extremely self-conscious about being an athlete in McCombs.  He was literally worried that there were people in the class who assumed he was a dumb jock and that the standards were lowered to get him in.  I felt bad for him and told him a couple of times to quit worrying about shit like that.

I'm not surprised to hear that considering he went to the top private school in the state.

Yep.  They'd celebrate without the least hint of irony or even self-awareness.

Fellow ags, our letter writing and sub canceling has worked!  They are finally listening, and look at how different things are for us when the sips can’t manipulate the rankings?

/No @Doc Sam Beckett, but talk about a bubble butt! If I've learned one thing from watching too much draft coverage, it's that you look for that kind of build in your defensive line prospects

Expand  

That build is good in almost any sport that requires bursts of speed/power.

DL, RB, Safety, LB, OL...

Baseball: Base Stealers

Basketball: Low Post Players

Soccer: Anywhere, but especially strikers (Sergio Agüero is about 5'4", but he looks like he was built with parts from two different designs.)

Ice Hockey: I'd assume it's better to have a low center of gravity for quick change of direction, and a caboose to quick bursts of speed.

Speed Skating: Especially short track & short distances on the large track.

Tennis: Rafa Nadal & Serena Williams say "Hola", though Novak & Venus say "It's not vital."

Rugby: The positions that are like RBs/Defenders that play on the edge for the most part.

Can't speak to the others but speed skating is very much the opposite.  Short track is dominated by Asians.  Low center of gravity is correct but it's achieved through short, thick legs rather than a fat ass.

Happy for the kid to be a stud in a sport.
He's probably between 5' even and 5'2". That has got to be tough growing up.
It'd be great if he could run in college as well.

Username checks out.

I would think it’s more beneficial to bobsledders than speed skaters

Manny was in the Kinesiology program for undergrad and graduate.

Hodges Mitchell threw an F bomb out during his presentation in Management 335/336 cannot remember the exact number . It was fucking glorious.

I’m confused. In the rankings it says athlete, but in his profile it says dual which I presume means dual threat qb?

14 nationally is pretty high for a guy who is going to be playing fullback/H back at ou.  And it’s not like his position is a question. 

And he committed November 2017?
