    Napolean's dance is one of the few things I remember from that movie...and Uncle Rico's boasts about his throwing arm. I must've gotten up to use the can during this scene.

    No one gives a shit.

    You understand it is bullshit to go back in the early days of a recruiting thread with a volatile recruit and call people out on it, right?

    In any event, I led the charge in doubting Blue repeatedly through his time on campus at Texas. The guy quit on his HS team, they voted not to take him back, bitched about playing time as a true freshman behind Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson, tried to quit, later tried to portal, had massive fumbling issues, never fully made it as a starter and still somehow came through the other side as a draft pick.

    Zach Evans also got drafted. Elite talent can cause a lot of other sins to be forgiven. Here's hoping he works his ass off and takes a different path than Evans and wins big contracts and prizes in the league. I'm cheering for him like I am every longhorn in the NFL because it certainly helps the program. I'm still in awe that the dude pulled it all off for himself.

    Also, if there were another guy coming through with all of the same red flags as Blue, I'd still be playing the overwhelming odds that he wouldn't be a take or would bust out. See: Evans, Zach; Hampton, Aeryn; or Alexander, Bear.

    We accept your apology

    My sooner fan FIL is a pretty typical sooner. He’s pointed to stone as a top 10 National player who still chose ou in the middle of their post Riley chaos. So him bailing is extra sweet for me.

    Serious post here -  please come back to the board and tell if you happen to ask him his reaction. It would be sweet for many here also

    Perhaps I'm hitting the Kool Aid a little early, but I see upgrades almost across the board.

    Banks was a stalwart, but I have to say I was impressed with Goosby when Banks missed time.  The only real question marks for me are who will replace Golden, will Baker be ready for his close-up, and can Washington block as well as Helm.

    It’s not kool aid. It’s grain alcohol

  5. I have not seen much ( any) discussion of the tail spin of the aggy season and how it correlates with Reed. He comes in against LSU and leads the ags to victory. Then named starter. Then loses 4 of the next 5 games with the only win against a shit non P4. Yet I see their reaction on him as QB 1 to be quite positive. 
     

    am I wrong?  When does the mob turn on Reed?  I find it odd considering how quickly aggy usually turns on the starting qb when the furk coaster is rolling.
