It's okay, they're lumberjacks.

Longhorns need to get SFA oline

SFA driving on Tech with under 2 minutes. 1st and Goal.

Both of my teams suck.

That was brutal with a capital Brute.

An interesting side note — SFA’s HC, Colby Carthel’s father in law was a high school coach of mine. Two of my teammates and I visited the hospital a few hours after his wife was born between two-a-day practices

Carthel is the real deal.  He’ll be a P5 coach in a few years.

Can’t believe they didn’t call holding/PI on that last 4th down play. Tech defender tackled the wide receiver at the line.

Matt Wells. People in this town still don't even know who the fuck he is or why we hired him.

Houston Baptist did this to us last year and now SFA.

Dude is a fucking joke.

Had a buddy when I was at Tech for undergrad in the early 90s who was from Floydada. Cool dude whose name now escapes me.

The Carthel’s are mostly from the Greater Lockney/Akin/Floydada metropolitan area.

Colby is a great coach, but he has been rumored to do some shady stuff to “acquire talent”.

That may keep him from getting a P5 gig. And even if he took over at Tech or Vandy or Kansas or Arizona, he may not be able to use the same tactics to “acquire talent”

With NIL, paying players to "acquire talent" is okay now, so not so shady in this new era of semi-pro college football. If you're talking extrajudicial shady, I'm listening because this could get interesting.

I think that his issues are more under the loosening of academic and behavioral standards, so I don’t think the NIL comes into play. But what the hell do I know. I’ve just heard stuff. He may be cleaner than advertised.

He’s has a lot of success early in his career and you know that Hata’s gonna hate

His SFA recruiting is on the up and up. No real dodgy characters, and actually less than previous SFA coaches. 

He might get some shady qualifier guys but every coach does that. It’s a compliance issue at that point.
