  1. You said it yourself.."limited time". If X saw the same amount of snaps as Cook (and sometimes with mostly second team offense on the field) his Freshman year we might have questioned if he was going to produce as well. Cook will be fine, maybe even lead the team in catches/yards next season? He isn't being talked about as much because we have a lot of high profile Freshmen and transfers this off-season...or at least that's my theory. If game one comes and goes and he still has limited snaps then we'll have something to talk about. I could be wrong, but I think with the embarrassment of riches we now have Sark will be more open to rotating WR's in and out...if that's the case he won't be on the field as often as X, Mitchell and JWhitt last season, but still no cause for alarm in and of itself.
  2. Meat pimp is the pinnacle of aggy excellence in the 21st century. I'm a fan for sure.
  3. Probably has a Hemi so they can keep the ambulance in sight. Don't always know which hospital they're headed to ya know.
  4. I have a couple things from high school football that still bother me from time to time and will only get worse when I get older. Was it worth it? Absolutely...I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Most things worthwhile have some sort of cost.
  5. And you do? I also wish him well, just not sure football is in his best interest.
  6. Hey, somebody has to chase ambulances after minor traffic accidents, why not an aggy?
  7. Makes it even better when you take into account High School Joey's arrogance combined with Yormark's shit talking. That was a perfect exclamation point to an almost perfect regular season...every single hateful 8 and ex SWC member sent packing with an L. It wasn't always pretty, but we got it done.
  8. I'm sure he can still play, you get a little rusty, but don't completely lose the ability in a few years, but that's not the question. The real question is: should he still try to play? Obviously the Longhorn medical team didn't clear him so not sure seeking out one that will is the best idea.
  9. Wait, is he entering the portal to try and play somewhere? Just like DeGabriel Floyd, sounds like a bad idea. I wish him the best, but now that he has his degree...nothing left to prove.
  10. I'm reserving judgement until I see him in actual battle with live fire. (Wearing burnt orange and white) And I admit to occasional idiocy, and own it.
  11. It seems like a minor thing, but there are definitely recruits out there who hate flying, or worse scared of it...and that will affect the west coast B1G teams in recruiting to some degree. Most players don't mind flights of 2 hours or less, but we're talking a minimum of 5 hours from coast to coast, (if non-stop) not counting bus time to the airport and any possible delays for weather, mechanical issues or crazy ladies seeing motherfuckers who arent real etc. The Pac leadership were world class idiots for sticking to their guns instead of aggressively pursuing expansion. Hell, they would still be a conference at the expense of making a few schools temporarily angry by bringing in the Longhorns (complete with LHN) into the Pac along with OU..and tag-alongs Tceh, and Okie Lite.
  12. You sure about the showered part? His mom may have bought him a new shirt, but I'm guessing dry shampoo run through his quickly graying hair and liberal doses of Axe body spray.
  13. Also based on the fact he was starting QB at the school that made Corn their bitch back in their Big12 days. Nevermind he was starter by default and got worse as the season progressed.
  14. "varsity's arm off"...what the University of Texas used to be called. Seems back in the day colleges used to have Varsity and JV and Freshman teams just like high school? I could be wrong on that, but in any case aggy is stuck in the leather helmet day mindset.
  15. Nobody is saying NFL players don't deserve sympathy when their playing days are over and some have various issues from their playing days, but like any other career..they enter it by choice and know the risks very well after playing high level college football. Beyond the money they make in the league, even a very short career can be a springboard to lucrative sports media jobs. (look at the Acho brothers, neither were really superstars in CFB or NFL) Just like any other profession, some will wisely take care of their money, some won't. Some will use their NFL player status to make more in "retirement" (even with very few years in the league in some cases) while some superstars with long careers accruing double digit millions will find themselves pretty much broke and destitute just a few short years after the money stops coming in. There are very good reasons why even college players that werent starters at any school they attended still try to at least become a UDFA, and those guys would love the chance to be "gladiators" even if that means being cast aside someday.
  16. Everyone here has PTSD from Gideons dropped easy pick likely costing us a shot at the NCG in 08, and the Dylan Haines human hurdle experience. Michael Taafe has proven he doesn't drop the easy picks and is somehow more physical than Haines. Taafe will most likely still be in the rotation, but safety will be fine if Mukuba is as advertised and some of our young studs make their expected leaps.
  17. I get what you're saying, but there is a reason landing on an NFL roster and playing as long as possible is the goal for many CFB players. What other job can get you over $700k (rookie minimum) to double digit millions (QB's like Mahomes) even if they don't finish their degree? Depending on what position they play, even 4-5 years can set up a player with a good financial base, and retiring at such a young age means they have plenty of time to start their own business, invest or even the luxury of doing a job that doesn't pay what the NFL did but they've always wanted to do..such as coach in HS, CFB or become a trainer for young athletes. Obviously for guys like Vontae Davis none of that matters, but too often mental issues for men idek left untreated, and thats sad.
  18. Wow, that's not good. Seems he did have an untreated condition.
  19. Any cause of death given? 35 year olds don't drop unless they're full of bullet holes, drugs or some sort of untreated medical condition.
  20. I admit to being a little uninformed, but can you check your notes again and give specifics for this next Colt comparison? I honestly don't know if Colt was Mack's last great QB eval or he simply won the lottery twice in the span of 4 years.
  21. The dude who put the shot cup on his head then turned to his band mates and shook his head represents all of non-aggy America.
  22. I like it. Seems to retain most of the historic feel. It's just a renovation, they aren't tearing down the Cotton Bowl and starting from scratch.
  23. Has he upped the quality of his regular smoked sausage? Granted it's been a few years, but I remember it not exactly being top quality, little greasy and bland. His hot links are pretty tasty though. No disrespect to one of the goat's of football, just friendly, constructive criticism.
