    Think back to the year that Ricky was running for the Heisman. Picture how influential he'd have been in a marketing campaign. Name the company that WOULDN'T have wanted a piece of that pie. Colt McCoy. Vince Young. I absolutely think that gaming companies like Bethesda, EA, KingsIsle, etc -- would want several of these guys. Do you think Jordan Shipley wouldn't have cashed in? Quan Cosby? You think those guys wouldn't have been on some hundreds of Southwest Airline posters/signage everywhere you look? you honestly think Dell wouldn't have had them using their laptops/tablets/etc? Apple? ditto.  

    Those guys are the ones that are currently funding the under-the-table money but their spending potentials are already nearly tapped out. The gulf coast NFL guys from the Saints make a pittance compared to their peers in NYC for a reason. Having said that a guy like Colt McCoy/Jordan Shipley/Tony Brackens could sell some fucking fishing gear/trucks/tractors, etc out in Giddings or Lukenbach or any of your other rural-but-not-far-from-Austin favorites. Rudy's (K & N Management)? You think they wouldn't love to have Hand, Giles and the big guys chowing down and mugging for cameras? Chuy's? HEB? 

     

    Texas is in a pretty unique position to serve young high tech, brick-and-mortar, and the little guy next door and with no real professional presence to stand in the way. 

    Google is a much better platform to use than Big Red Motors or Cricket Wireless in Tuscaloosa.

    The worst thing about this decommitment is the optics.  Makes it look to people on the outside that we're reeling.  I'm more concerned about the state of OL and WR recruiting. 

    Herman lands the saftey out of LBJ then this blows over.

    If his decision was swayed by Tunmise then out of the gates that is a sign or red flag. Man up and make a decision based on you.

    Then there are guys (Poona) that went un-drafted but are still playing on NFL teams.  That was pretty poor evaluation by scouts. 

    He even graded out better than guys that went in the first round of his draft.

    What area is that for?  All of Texas?  Centex?  Because that total infection number is nuts - the metro population of austin is only 2.1 million.  Methinks those numbers are for Texas.  And what assumptions are in there?  No lockdown?  The current lockdown for two weeks?  Something else?  In short....those numbers don't really mean anything to me.

    Austin/ Round Rock area. 

    I'm very skeptical but its from the horses mouth.
