Emmanuel Acho

[ImissWallyPryor 9,045]

My daughter (10 or 11 at the time) met and chatted with mamma Acho at the Wyoming game (08 or 09 in Laramie). My daughter says she was real nice and very proud of Sam.

But when you pressed her about Emmanuel, she shrugged and said something like “not sure what went wrong with him...”

[ImissWallyPryor 9,045]

That was the joke.

I really wish he'd avoid telling people where he played ball from now on, just mention his brief NFL gig if he must.

[shadow_operative 15,932]

i like him. i don't think he contrives or fakes anything. i think that a bunch of people here just don't like the stuff that he says, which is odd, because a lot of what he says sounds like the shit that people on here post all of the time. everyone here loves to trash the school/program/coach, but then they get all butthurt when someone else does it. whatever. UT football fans are the only people who spend this much time and thought on Emmanuel Acho. he's nowhere near as bad or sinister or fake as y'all make him out to be.

I am so conflicted. I like seeing a UT guy hitting it big and am happy for him, it just so happens to be the biggest twat waffle the school has ever graduated.

What in the fuck is he talking about?

He’s telling us that he’s trying to be the voice of the woke generation but isn’t there yet.

Does he know how much fuel a Lexus LS needs to go 20 miles?

It’s interesting that you’ll take the contrarian view of supporting a loudmouth attention whore who just wastes time talking about nothing sincere or of substance, embarrassing his alma mater. 

He still defends Rick Barnes.

the fact that i don't believe that he's totally insincere and just performing for the cameras makes me a contrarian? no, i don't think it does.

is that a fact? that's news to me. sounds pretty similar to the accusations that i'm the one who brings up Rick Barnes out of nowhere just to insert his name into random, totally unrelated threads.

he’s an insufferable piece of shit but he’s far from the worst. 

[Guest Lobo]

I would think Charles Whitman has to be on a list of 'Shittiest Longhorns' 

[Guest Lobo]

Look, a lot of people didn't graduate UT...you don't have to constantly throw it in Whitman's face!

Yeah, if our own personal recent memory...Katy Agnor is way up there.  Whitman is just in every Longhorn's mind forever.  That's fucked up for her though, that we have to divide out generations on her behalf so she doesn't get lumped in with Whitman.  

I always thought Randolph Duke was about our age.  Is he significantly older?

I don't get the love for that place, but no way that guy's a bigger shithead than Agnor.

Lexus are actually the best luxury car - Toyota. Reliable.

Acho is doing his thing, even if his thing is BS, so what, it's how you succeed in modern "journalism".

I really don't know anything about Emmanuel's TV stuff on account of I don't own a TV but I did hear him on The Horn FM for about 15-20 minutes being interviewed by some of our local djs and he struck me as both thoughtful and respectful. What makes you say that he's a loudmouth?

He once said some boosters handed out $100 handshakes for big plays or some shit, and then walked it back, but because he said that, there are some on here who say he was a scrub who should never have been given a scholarship and is also one of the worst humans to graduate from UT in all of history.

Typical Shag, in other words.

I have a Kindle Fire that pops up an ad before you open it. (The cheaper option of each Kindle level.)

Last Friday, this was the ad that popped up before I opened it. Nice to see a fellow Marksman (& Longhorn) doing well. He’s helping wipe away some of the stain left by Richard Spencer.

I get what you’re saying, but I gotta...I gotta....side with....fuck.....beeper here dude. Damn that was rough to say. But yeah he was awful on LHN, he loves shitting on UT even though he wouldn’t be where he is if it weren’t for us (and his brother. Emmanuel was a jag.). He was clown all the fucking time on espn doing the corny as shit espn produces nowadays. And now he’s doing shit with Oprah and whatnot. He is such a fucking obnoxious douchebag.

Apparently your memory is a little fuzzy on this. (I was living out of the country during this time, so I have no memory of any of his games.)

NFL Draft 2012: Cleveland Browns Take Texas LB Emmanuel Acho In Sixth Round

By Jonathan Tjarks  Apr 28, 2012, 4:22pm CDT

Emmanuel Acho, one of the few bright spots during Texas football's last two seasons, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the No. 204 selection in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

The Dallas native, who attended high school at St. Mark's, started 26 games for the Longhorns over the last three years at OLB. He was one of the leaders of the defense in 2011, with 117 tackles, including 13.5 for loss, as well as 3 sacks...

https://dallas.sbnation.com/texas-longhorns/2012/4/28/2981960/nfl-draft-2012-cleveland-browns-texas-lb-emmanuel-acho-sixth-round

 

Somehow he was (1) "one of the few bright spots", (2) "one of the leaders of the defense in 2011", (3) drafted in the NFL Draft, and yet we're to believe that he was also (4) a jag.

[Fletch 5,799]

Playing next to Keenan Robinson helped quite a bit. And yeah plenty of jags have gotten a cup of coffee in the nfl

[Jkwellborn 6,653]

I’m not sure I’d use Cleveland and their draft record as proof of anyone’s ability to play football at the next level.

[El Hornarino 368]

Lot of guys get drafted to the NFL.  Very few get drafted to host The Bachelor.  Advantage Acho.

"Colt was a JAG. We only gave him a 'ship so we'd have a shot at Case. Yeah he's been in the NFL for years but most of that is for Cleveland and as a back-up."
