    Where the fuck else will he go? He has Texas, Mizzou, Houston, SMU, and Texas State.

    He apparently is waiting on a TCU offer. No shit. 

     

    *Damn, Lawnghorn beat me to it.

    People should go read the quotes from Gunnell after he committed to A&M. Gunnell is really close with Mazzone. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he ends up at Arizona. 

    This is the biggest reason why I wanted Mazzone as a QC coach. I think Mazzone on staff in some capacity would have given us a chance with Gunnell. Granted, Herman might be all in on Johnson. 

    You THINK they mght be all in on Johnson? Geeze bud. Theyre definitely all in on Johnson, and I believe Gunnell, while a great player, lacks the wiggle of a guy like Cam rising to run this system the exact way Herman prefers.

    Thank you. Now we have a machine gun too, ho-ho-ho.

    Any time the fucking mouthbreathers and obfuscators elsewhere in aggiedom toss out nonsense about this concept being a UT conjuring, someone on those boards can throw this shit right back in their duplicitous fucking faces. 

    Logic and evidence don't matter to those fucking waterheads. They've already spun and accepted as fact as there is a huge difference between a No Visit Policy and Continuing To Recruit Other Players At Their Position If They Keep Visiting Other Schools. "That's how every staff does it, and how it should be done." You can't argue with someone with their head in the sand because they can't hear shit except their own thoughts.

    Nothing worse than losing a player to the arrogant domers.  

    Again with this shit. I can think of lots of things worse than losing players to Notre Dame. For starters, losing to OU on the field. Losing players to OU. Having a neighbor who graduated form OU. There list goes on and on.

    I don't think we're arguing different things. I'm saying we've had a lot of problems that have nothing to do with recruiting. We haven't finished the season ranked in the top 15 since 2009. The consistency of our underperformance is impressive.

    No one's saying we don't have multiple issues. We do have a lot of problems. And just because a street has 10 potholes is no reason to ignore one say "Meh, we don't need to fix this one because shit, there's 9 others." It's easy to say we'll recruit better if we win fucking games, and it's probably true, but that that's the same kind of maddening shit that drove most of us crazy as Mack Brown under-performed here even at the height of his success after 2005. In fact, it's a pretty legitimate and logical argument to say that BECAUSE we've been an under-performing shitshow for so long, it's more important than ever to plug all the holes we have in all facets, including recruiting, because we don't have any margin for error. You want the kind of roster to get us back on the top, well, we need to recruit well everywhere. 

    Personally, the whole fucking attitude of fixing one thing that should help the others along is maddening to me. I don't care if we win 10 games, why don't we fucking fix ALL of it and become like Ohio State, and Alabama, instead of pontificating on how Giles will be a good recruiter again if we fucking win games. It's fucking stupid bullshit. Excel at fucking everything. We have the resources and location that should allow us to do that easier than almost any other college in the nation.

    It's not one or the other. We have had (and continue to have) recruiting issues at certain positions, and these are compounded by mediocre or bad coaching and development.

    The best programs are very good to elite at all of these things.

    Don't muddy the water with fucking logic and facts, sir.

    I agree with all of this, but the fans that freak out need to consider the floor. If Texas wins 7 or 8 games and signs a 25 man class, there is no way it's ranked lower than 10-15, IMO. I think it's important to remember that our worst case scenario is having the second most talented roster in our conference. 

    You see the worst case scenario as being the second most talented team in our conference.

    But what I SEE, when you say that is the absolute worst case scenario, which is being behind fucking Oklahoma at anything into perpetuity. Fuck that motherfucking cunt ass shit.

    Horns 247 posters are the worst in all of Longhorn fandom. Poor writing, dumb questions to their mods, and a complete lack of recruiting or football knowledge. Plenty of stupid open letters to recruits like Orangebloods in the bad ole days. 

    bierce is the only good poster over there, but he's focused primarily on hoops. 

    I do think EJ is getting better, and Roach has always been somewhere near respectable. 

    Outta rep apparently, but I'll second this comment. The posters on 24/7 are the dumbest motherfuckers alive. 5-8 different posts at any given time asking EJ direct questions and shit. One fucking nimrod literally posted this thread title there yesterday "So is Garrett Wilson really from Ohio?" JFC. And then when someone answered in the affirmative, idiot went on like a tirade about "of course he went to Ohio state then ya'll are just idiots." It really and truly is a beating.

    You take Richardson even if you already have two safeties and several linebackers committed 

    Agreed, but not only that, you'd do it just to torpedo Jimbo's no visit policy. As long as it's a guy as talented as Richardson.

    You have to think at some point Demani gets tired of the Jimbo no-visit BS and decommits.  

    I don't really view it happening that way. I'm guessing what will happen is that Richardson will not decommit, will visit other schools, and then Jimbo does jack fucking shit and every kid in this class realizes the reality: if they're an elite talent they can do whatever the fuck they want while that stupid little hobbit sits in a corner, pulling is mirco-pud and watching his wife get hammered as every 4 and 5 star does whatever they want to her. Am I mixing my metaphors? Sure. But it's still a fairly accurate image, I believe. 

     

    Richardson will visit, Jimbo won't pull his scholarship, and he'll be revealed toothless. Or even better, he'll pull some other mediocre kids scholarship but not Demani's and the kids will realize he's an inconsistent favorite playing motherfucker. At least, that's the best case scenario.

    I finally saw an SEC sticker inches from an A&M sticker on a truck in the wild yesterday.

     

    I knew it was a thing, but still seeing it the first time was laugh-inspiring

    Holy fuck, do you no longer live in Texas? I shit you not I see that at least once a day in Houston, and I've got a pretty short commute to work. The parking lot at my local Kroger makes me consider the merits of keying vehicles regularly.

    I don't want to add more fuel to dynamite to the thread derailment, but i feel that I have to.  LSU fan's justification for hiring Oeaux is completely insane/delusional. Every SEC fanbase has a little Aggy in 'em. 

    Actual quotes from LSU graduates:

    "Ed really wanted the job. It's his dream job. We couldn't pass the go over twice." 

    "Ed is just really there to recruit and motivate. His assistants and coordinators do all the coaching."

    "We saved money hiring Ed, so we could keep Aranda and hire Canada." (how's that working out?) 

    "Troy is a really good team. They recruit the Alabama kids that don't go to Bama or Auburn." 

     

    Their BFS is on another level than ours. They're ECSTATIC when they "hang" with Bama. The losing streak is currently at 7 with no end in sight. 

     

     

    Those quotes feel like LSU delusional justification from 2 years ago, not anything anyone would say recently. Fuck, there was a message board flame effort at the end of the season to have Orgeron canned and elevate Arranda to keep him away from aTm. The point is, that feels dated and not relevant at all, seeing how Canada is already, and LSU fans are already dying for a way to get rid of Peppermint Patty's teacher.

    Canned smoked oysters. I’m sure they taste great and I’d probably enjoy them but all I can think about is when my dad would crack a can open and that noxious smell would permeate the living room. 

    Fuck you, those are delicious and I still eat them regularly. To my nose, the ones that are packaged in olive oil don't really have that much of an odor at all.

    Regarding Brock Wright, there's not much Texas could have done. The family is more Roman Catholic than the Kennedys. Wright was always going to Notre Dame. 

    I know that man, I have some family connections to the coaching staff at Cy Fair. We weren't sniffing Austin Decalus either. But I do appreciate you making my argument even stronger, so thanks!
