LET'S FUCKING GO

Romance Taylor is his track coarch?????

AAHAHAHAAAAHHHH

Expand  

Correction—was his track coach. Not that it matters. He moved.

Ramonce was a freak. I remember bumping into him right before he got on stage with Mike Jones at a frat party…which happened to be the same afternoon as the spring game. That’s when I knew he wouldn’t be coming back.

Still glad he put in a good word with Bledsoe and Gullette.

Ramonce.

One of these days it will stop annoying the everloving shit out of me that one of the biggest freaks to step foot on the 40 can’t even get his name spelled right. Today isn’t that day

I was at the 2004 home game vs. Aggy. There was a middle aged man in attendance with whom I assumed was his daughter. 

He kept calling him "Romance" and the young woman pointed to the old school scoreboard that read "Ramonce Taylor" after he touched the ball.

He responded..."No...his name is Romance. They must have made a mistake." ðŸ˜¡

Patterson used to take top 150 recruits that we didn’t want? Name a few. Hell, name one.

I had hoped to use this for Shelby due to the subtle volleyball reference. Still works because a freak accident will cost him his senior season. Tremendous addition to the class.

So coaching at Marlin HS,  he must have graduated college.  

Did he graduate from UT?

I’m just thankful they had a picture and a pronunciation guide for Jevan Snead (RIP) back in the day. Otherwise, I would have been very surprised to learn both.

I don’t recall what the story was with the Fields kid, but could he be the one that technically qualifies? Possibly more of a character judgement in that instance than an unrefined talent issue though. Btw, that Martin squad was pretty talented.

we wouldn't be passing this type of recruit(top 100?) so Patterson could pick him up.  the issue is when we got this type of recruit we didn't develop them to play football at a high level. maybe the coaching this time won't F it all up.

Would Patterson coach up 3 stars that would beat our ass?  Yep.  Now we have that guy so hopefully it helps.

He’s supposedly unofficially visited them like 10 times and went to their apartment complex party.

And still has one official visit remaining, which they think he’ll use to go to one of their games this fall.

May still be working on his degree ??

Taylor is currently an assistant football coach and head track coach at Marlin High School. His coaching career has been a 12-year (and counting) journey that’s seen him coach at a few different schools while also continuing to work towards his Texas degree. Four years ago, he started the Ramonce Taylor Youth Association and that organization now mentors young athletes in several sports both Belton County and now Marlin.

It’s Bell County, Suchomel. Belton is the county seat. Close to home, so I had to correct it.

Were any of those unofficials after we started clearly leading?

I don't think it matters. He sounds like a good kid from a good family. He sees the big picture with his desire for broadcasting being a major factor in his decision. Never say never, but I think Derion Gullette has made up his mind and has moved on to getting healthy and ready for spring camp in Austin.
