Johnston's clearly an athletic freak. Roy Williams is perhaps too bold a comparison. Roy high jumped 6'10" in high school, had a 40" vertical, and also ran a 10.3 100m. Roy was also about 20 lbs heavier. So he's like Roy Williams, but not as big, fast, strong, or able to jump as high.

Roy Williams is the comparison I've heard from guys that know better than anyone and have been around since back then.

[Hank Scorpio 17,924]

I heard he has Roy's work ethic too.

You mean his college work ethic, or NFL work ethic?

[Hank Scorpio 17,924]

All of the above. If there is one thing that stands out about Roy Williams, it is what an incredibly hard worker he was. Never just coasted on talent. 

[Huckleberry 34,663]

I'm most interested in learning more about how the guy who high jumped 6'10" in high school can't jump as high as the guy who high jumped 6'10" in high school.

It is like Texas and aggy not taking a TE.

Actually, I’ve gotta disagree with you here Horpio Scank.

I heard that while Roy sometimes didn’t work very hard, QJ works just as hard, so he’s like Roy except that he doesn’t work quite as hard.

I rmr that TCU team looked so much faster than us. And then Boyd tweeted something about transferring at halftime

Post traumatic suck disorder just kicked in again.  The worst part of that whole fiasco was it looked like Texas quit after five minutes in.  It was hot as hell, sat in the upper deck exposed to that 11am kickoff sun, and left at halftime thoroughly disgusted.

Sat down at the regular sports bar with my buddies right at kickoff. Left after the first quarter, without ever getting a chance to order anything. Drove to the movies and watched two of them before heading home to wife and kids. Ended up being a decent time. I remember thinking that day how numb I'd become to losing. Fuck Chuckles and his terrible fucking coaching.

I like that, no matter how much knowledge I have on a subject, I just assume the opposite of whatever you say.

There's a rumor swirling that Texas A&M will discontinue the volleyball program in response to this story. 

The way I heard it they were discontinuing the swimming and diving programs.

Yes, and like Roy he’s very compassionate toward kids with Bell’s palsy.

[realgreggym 838]

True story. Many years ago, an aggy in the state legislature was upset that we had The in front of our name and A&M didn't so he proposed to change their name to The Texas A&M University. That became a huge joke and Baylor never wanting to miss an opportunity to mess with aggy decide that they were going to change their name as well. But instead of becoming The Baylor University, they were going to change their name to Thee Baylor University. Aggys were pissed. It was great.

[Daichee Bell 3,091]

Had our fantasy football draft and one of my buddies flew in from Utah. He knows Fillinger a little, but is friends with his coach. Said Fillinger is super athletic but raw. Really good kid who lost a parent (or parents?) somewhere along the way. Very tight with his boys. Fillinger was trying to get that giant 6 foot 7 kid to get an interest in Texas but sounds like he is headed to Oregon. My buddy coaches some and expects Fillinger to take off with our coaching staff. Nothing really new, but all good to hear. Hook em!

Bummer about Sewell. Would have been fun to see him play against random high schoolers if he's really that good.
