Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi

[Cairn Horn88 8435]

Well, it's pretty clear to me....since Texas beat Georgia, they are now afraid of the Texas schools...even aggy...makes a lot of sense....yea right.  aggy is so stupid.

Aggies love that and anything else their coach does while in favor.  It is done in the name of all that is good. Agginess.

Aggies hate that if it's anybody else. It's all evil that they wouldn't have at A&M!

Exactly. It’s like Looch calling Ehlinger obnoxious and arrogant, but praising Leon for being confident.

Hey everyone, just got back from Baton Rouge. I was taking my stepson there for an orientation (he got his GED and only qualified for Blinn, aggy, and LSU) and got to hang out with some of the local folks there. Last night, I went to one of the local restaurants and was drinking some beer at the bar and started talking football to some of the people there (of course, I had my UT cap on).

A lot of them asked me about Herman and I told them how happy we are with him. I didn't say much because I didn't want to upset them since he turned them down for us. To my surprise, the majority of them said they understood. They talked about how they knew it would be hard for Herman to turn down a job at the flagship university in Texas, about how nice Austin is, the rich traditions of UT, etc...

Some of them were wanting to come see LSU play in Austin, and I told them they will love ATX and would have a great visit. One guy there said every Longhorn fan he knew was passionate about the Horns, yet respectful and friendly. Others chimed in about how impressed (and a bit jealous) they are with UT fans and their passion for their team, coach, and Big 12.

I asked them about the game at LSU in 2020, and they said it will be difficult for me to attend. Even though it is over year away, tickets are already going for more than $1,000 a piece. One older fan said he has never seen this kind of excitement for a team coming in to play their beloved Tigers.

Most, if not all, let me know they were glad we didn't play in the SEC. Gave mad respect for Herman and UT.

Anyway, it was great to hear others opinions about UT, and I thought I would share. Hook 'em!

4-star S Alford down to two, decision coming soon.

Brian Perroni

HOUSTON - Shadow Creek four-star safety Xavion Alford is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the state of Texas for the class of 2020. The 6-foot-0.5, 188-pound defender saw a ton of offers pour in during the spring. In fact, he now holds them from 43 different schools.

With many of his peers coming off the board by making commitments, Alford says it will not be too much longer before he does so as well.

"Before my first game," Alford said of a commitment date. "I don't know when. It could be the day before. It could be earlier, but I'm going to announce sometime before the season."

Shadow Creek begins its season on Sat., Aug. 31 and the nation's No. 145 overall prospect has a plan for how he will make his announcement prior to that date.

"I'm going to do it with a video," he said.

Alford had previously listed Alabama, LSU, Texas and Texas A&M as his final four schools. However, it is now an in-state battle between the Aggies and Longhorns.

"Right now, the main two are Texas and Texas A&M," he said. "It had been a final four, but now I'm just down to those two."

Alford says there is a lot to like about Texas A&M.

"Coach Elko, coach Ish (Aristide), coach Jimbo - they're all doing a great job of recruiting me," he said. "The program is definitely going up, too. Jimbo got there last year and basically had a 10-win season. The defense, coach Elko turned that around too. They should be going up even farther this season."

A current player in sophomore safety Leon O'Neal Jr. has also had an impact on Alford.

"Leon, of course. He's the biggest spokesperson up there for A&M," Alford said. "I've known him before this, so it really means a lot when he's really wanting me up there, playing back there with him."

Texas has its pros with Alford as well.

"Texas is definitely going up, too," he said. "Both of the in-state programs are going up. They're both having winning seasons. It's going to be a fun college season to watch. I like the defense at Texas; it's similar to what we run at our school."

With a decision not far off at all, Alford says he knows where it will likely be.

"I think I have a clue. Yeah I think I've got a clue where it's going to be," he said.

Alford helped first-year varsity program Shadow Creek to a 15-1 record and a state championship game appearance as a junior. He finished with 61 tackles, six interceptions and 20 tackles for loss. The last four Crystal Ball predictions for him have all been in favor of the Aggies

So this doddering redass is on a trip to move his daughter into the dorms at UGA and had multiple conversations with multiple people sufficient to obtain a consensus about UGA fans’ views of aggy? Why would he be talking to strangers about aggy at UGA move-in day? Perhaps it had something to do with the aggy hat he was most assuredly wearing, the aggy t shirt he was wearing, the aggy ring he was wearing, the 12 aggy bumper stickers on his Dodge Caravan, the thousand times he said “howdy” to strangers, or him randomly asking stranger about their opinion on the dadgum fightin Texas aggies.

"Coach Elko, coach Ish (Aristide), coach Jimbo - they're all doing a great job of recruiting me," he said. "The program is definitely going up, too. Jimbo got there last year and basically had a 10-win season. The defense, coach Elko turned that around too. They should be going up even farther this season."
A current player in sophomore safety Leon O'Neal Jr. has also had an impact on Alford.
"Leon, of course. He's the biggest spokesperson up there for A&M," Alford said. "I've known him before this, so it really means a lot when he's really wanting me up there, playing back there with him."
Texas has its pros with Alford as well.
"Texas is definitely going up, too," he said. "Both of the in-state programs are going up. They're both having winning seasons. It's going to be a fun college season to watch. I like the defense at Texas; it's similar to what we run at our school."
With a decision not far off at all, Alford says he knows where it will likely be.
"I think I have a clue. Yeah I think I've got a clue where it's going to be," he said.
Alford helped first-year varsity program Shadow Creek to a 15-1 record and a state championship game appearance as a junior. He finished with 61 tackles, six interceptions and 20 tackles for loss. The last four Crystal Ball predictions for him have all been in favor of the Aggies

Basically a 10 win team? Actually no it wasn’t.

So 9 is the new 10 "basically" and it's tough to play with leon when he doesn't get to play. All aggy

It’s the aggyest thing ever. We beat an SEC team they’ve never even played in conference, but “just barely,” and only because Georgia “didn’t want to be there.” They only won 9 games, one by officials’ gift, and several against creampuffs, but it’s “basically 10.”

Alford is destined to be aggy. He was born to be aggy, right along with Leon O’Neal, Steve McKinney, and John Sharp. WHOOP! indeed.

I know they’ve been so long without DB talent that they don’t know up from down but this is one of the funniest and saddest things I’ve seen from aggy this offseason. This is from the Alford thread ...

Sure, NC caliber, if by NC you mean no cornerbacks.

Oh for fuck’s sake. So the line Jimbo is telling recruits is that they basically won 10 games without winning 10 games. Do quality losses count as wins? What the fuck is going on here?

Well, if close losses count as "wins" in Alford's thinking, then he ought to love a 13-1 Texas, lol.

Ah yes, all these guys trending to other teams after the BBQ means it was a big success where everyone found out where they are on the aggy big board

So in the second scenario from that last picture, the guy thinks that the A&M staff will invite kids to visit with the intention of giving them the cold shoulder once they're on campus. Instead of just being straightforward and honest. Sounds like a dick move.
