    Holton Hill didn’t quit on the team. He’s a bonehead, for sure. But to say he “never really did shit for the team” is hilarious. Dude was our best defender last year until his suspension. Absolutely I will root for him. 

    Similar with Warren. I don’t know the circumstances behind the end of his tenure, either. I don’t know if he was demoralized by Herman. 

    I also don’t seem to know nearly as much as everyone here about Poona. I know he’s way undersized and was for a Texas DT. I know he’s one of those Shag/Surly favorites and I have never understood why. I don’t know about his work ethic.

    But absolutely I will root for him because he’s a Horn. I’d fucking root for Ron Weaver McKelvey if he made a comeback. 

    I guess I view the repeated drug issues as a problem, Warren basically never seemingly giving his all etc as not being someone that once off the Horns I don't feel need to actively, continuously root for just because they went to Texas. Like I said I am not wishing them harm etc, I am just not actively rooting for them, don't really give a crap how they do in the NFL. Whereas there are other players that stayed engaged, didn't repeatedly fail drug tests etc that I would prefer to root for.

  2. I was going to post this in the "Horns in the NFL" thread but as Warren highlights my point I'll do it here.

    Do you support all Horns in the NFL just because they played at UT?

    I have a hard time rooting for guys like Warren or Hill who never really did shit for the team and by all accounts actually quit on it etc. I am not rooting against him, just not rooting for him.

    But someone like Poona I am absolutely rooting for as he worked his ass off at UT, had a great attitude etc

    So all these book snobs want a 6'5" actor to play Reacher.

    Pretty much they all really want The Rock.  Sorry, you can't have The Rock.

    But you can have one of these 6'5" actors to play Jack Reacher:  Tyler Perry, Sinbad, Armie Hammer, Dolph Lundgren, Vince Vaughn, Tim Robbins, or Craig Kilborn.

    Suddenly Tom Cruse doesn't seem like such a bad casting decision.

    As someone who was anti-Tom Cruise for this role, I am not saying actor had to be 6'5", but he probably shouldn't be 5'4".

    One of the core characteristics of the character is that he is large and imposing and has a physicality to him. It's core to the story.

    I get Cruise bought rights and put himself in the role, but if you'd ever read the books you'd think it was shitty casting.
