  1. I agree. Good for him. Where is he gonna play next year or is he gonna straight up declare for the draft?
  2. uh.....you tell him. I aint poking that bear.....
  3. Some team notes from the Brainiacs, with mentions about the newcomers . . . paraphrased of course. No leadership yet in the LB room. Jaylan Ford has been putting up great testing numbers since January. He's the most physically gifted LB in the room. Tucker-Dorsey has pushed the group a bit but a leader needs to emerge. Overshown has been getting reps at Edge. Not sure how much he plays there. Coaches want as much speed on the field as they can get. Byron Murphy has looked best out of all the interior DL. A trio of freshmen have been performing exceptionally well. J'Mond Tapp, Kris Ross and Justice Finkley. Finkley's body has transformed since arriving in January. He's living in the weight room and it's showing. Ross has put up the best testing times for anyone at his position. He's been very impressive
  4. goddammit!. I only come here for the koolaid!
  5. say what? I never heard a whisper about that. Fact is I am close to calling bullshit on that.
  6. hey...my stolen stories are your stolen stories....
  7. maybe this will help... A couple of practice notes from TFB . . . . Devon Campbell brought his lunch pale to Austin with him. He's really impressing. He is the fastest OL we have, true athlete. Both he and Banks are standing out with their athleticism, which Texas has not had in years. Cam Williams has been working over the summer. He is down below 360 now. Connor Robertson, TFB says, will one day take over the center position. When he does, he'll be the most athletic center we've had in a while. Needs to spend more time in the weight room though. Encouraging feedback on Cole Hutson and Hayden Connor. Connor will see lots of PT this season. Hutson is now almost 6'5 and 320 lbs.
  8. Hell....I heard that Williams has "chiseled" down to under 360. I am now a bit concerned that this new development will make it easier to walk around him....
  9. OK...I admit I am a dumbass. Sorry for doubting your math skills Red
  10. Red I am not one to quibble, but your name is Red Five!... I bet you could count to five if you wanted to....
  11. nope....preposterous idea. Why in the world would a kid dreaming of starring in the NFL someday ever watch a game with his two super bowl champ uncles? Hell, I bet they never ever threw the ball around either....
  12. ok....we have QB's with all the arm talent one could ask for. Supposedly both have super high football IQ's. The one ingredient we will not know about for some time is whether these guys are great "generals" on the field for lack of a better word. Perhaps Leader would be better. In my opinion the two best I have seen in my lifetime were Vince Young and James Street. Vince with that calm, confident manner that helped the whole team to relax knowing he had their back....The way he led the summer workouts before that Natty year....He put up a bulletin board saying to meet him everyday that summer on the practice field.....if they wanted to beat OSU! James Street the way he took the team and never lost a game. The way he stayed confident no matter what....and when fate came calling facing that 4th and 3 or 5 or whatever with DKR telling him to run aPASS PLAY???...a long one at that....He even came back and asked "coach are you sure?" DKR waved him on....he goes to the huddle like he called the play himself....he looks at Spires and says..."Randy, listen up. I am looking at Cotton, but I am talking to you. You are gonna be a hero"....He then goesout and dropped a dime between double coverage and the rest was history. I want a guy that can recognize his moment and then grab it by the throat!...............goddammit I am worked up!...Hookem!!
  13. I just read where Arch personally called Saban,Kiffin,Dabo and Smart and told them he was going to Texas and to thank them for recruiting him. Top level Kid I say....
  14. this is all well and good, but I am curious.....which is considered the better prospect? Who is the most accurate and has the stronger arm? Frankly, I am still pissed at Herman for cheating us out of Ewers in the first place. We could have used that damned recruiting bump 2 years ago that we expect we will get now.
  15. .....ehhhh....you might slow your roll there. Garrit Gilbert was significantly better than Colt until he got into a game and we found out he wasnt. Better Pro prospects thanVY??? Better than ROY? Fucked up coaching killed VY's career, not his prospects....
  16. with Manning in all we have to worry about now is that pesky problem about playing well....
  17. this is a whole new situation. Neither guy has to go to the League to get paid. If they are having a good enough time playing school, one or both might just hang around....
  18. ....maybe....somehow I have that little niggling concern about our Oline and Dline being championship ready right out of the gate. Maybe by the end of the year with no major injuries( has that ever happened?) we might be pretty good. However, sometimes you have to go undefeated to win the Natty....
  19. celebrate the Natty?
  20. best line ever by a sports writer came from Dan Cook of the San Antonio Express when Switzer got hired by Jerra....."Switzer coaching in the NFL? The NFL is a passing League. The only thing Switzer knows about passing is that his teams couldn't do it"
  21. awww......that play is no good.....What if Quinn cant get a ticket at the top of the stadium on game day?
  22. .....ohhhh I forgot to add.....fuck you again...
  23. did you even see that game? The defense was doing quite well considering we were that one play away from going up by double digits less than 5 minutes into the game.
  24. Well....this is total bullshit! I grew up watching an NAIA school dominate the NAIA every year and I guarantee their fans didn't give a rats ass about the big stage.
  25. pretty sure consulting Surly is not always a good idea...
