  1. Hey everyone, just got back from Baton Rouge. I was taking my stepson there for an orientation (he got his GED and only qualified for Blinn, aggy, and LSU) and got to hang out with some of the local folks there. Last night, I went to one of the local restaurants and was drinking some beer at the bar and started talking football to some of the people there (of course, I had my UT cap on). A lot of them asked me about Herman and I told them how happy we are with him. I didn't say much because I didn't want to upset them since he turned them down for us. To my surprise, the majority of them said they understood. They talked about how they knew it would be hard for Herman to turn down a job at the flagship university in Texas, about how nice Austin is, the rich traditions of UT, etc... Some of them were wanting to come see LSU play in Austin, and I told them they will love ATX and would have a great visit. One guy there said every Longhorn fan he knew was passionate about the Horns, yet respectful and friendly. Others chimed in about how impressed (and a bit jealous) they are with UT fans and their passion for their team, coach, and Big 12. I asked them about the game at LSU in 2020, and they said it will be difficult for me to attend. Even though it is over year away, tickets are already going for more than $1,000 a piece. One older fan said he has never seen this kind of excitement for a team coming in to play their beloved Tigers. Most, if not all, let me know they were glad we didn't play in the SEC. Gave mad respect for Herman and UT. Anyway, it was great to hear others opinions about UT, and I thought I would share. Hook 'em!
  2. I know you will be shocked, but Looch disagrees with those rankings (as noted on the 2020 thread)
  3. Our secondary seemed to hold up pretty well against Georgia (SEC SEC SEC)
  4. I wish we wouldn't turn on each other. With all due respect (and I am looking at my ring as I type this) I wish you old army guys would join us here in 2019. This is NOT the same old 40 acres anymore. Now, the only way schools can compete with us is by giving out cash and vehicles, or in this case, a dad that got paid. All of us in here call it as we see it. This sucks but the nattys we are about to get because of the Herm is a nice consolation prize.
  5. Yep. This was my way of saying " hey aggy, this is what a delusional fan that fondles his twig and berries when writing about his head coach looks like to the general public".
  6. Good for Auburn. Just a 3* that we backed off of a month ago. Tom only wants elite recruits to come to DBU. I guarantee you we will not even remember this guys name by signing day. I'm already laughing at people that think this is a loss. Don't care. Got Herman.
  7. Great get! Hook 'em Derrick!
  8. You didn't do that right. So here you go: As you are aware, Josh Eaton has made it to ATX for a visit. Rumor has it he has been an aggy lean for quite some time. Todd Orlando himself told Josh how he fits in perfectly with the Longhorn defensive scheme. I am told that Tom Herman has met with him personally, and that Eaton was blown away. Sources say that Bryan Carrington has rolled out the red carpet, and that Big 12 elite safety Caden Sterns has been in his ear. I am told that Josh can't stop talking about the rich tradition on the 40 acres. I'm not saying that we get him, but sources that are close to the Eaton family say that this is far from over. Never count out Herman when it comes to selling the chance to play for the premier Big 12 university. Keep an eye on this one...
  9. I am pretty sure Jimbo approves of this post, so jtstanley4621 did the right thing here
  10. Great news! Hook 'em Billy!
  11. "Would Jimbo approve of this post?" I gotta remember that one. Outstanding.
  12. Hey Prognightmare! If you are lurking to report back to your fellow aggy fans and sheep admirers, thanks for checking out our board. My great great great grandpa told me that your school may have won a championship before they wore real helmets. Congrats! Little brothers are always welcome here. Enjoy!
  13. Hook 'em Conner!
  14. I checked it out and it was awesome. Thanks for the rec
  15. Welcome aboard Jalen and Hook 'em!
  16. Someone actually had sex with her on purpose?
  17. Cool to see Leon accelerating in coverage but this is the wrong thread
  18. Great news! Hook 'em Van!
  19. He is the #1 QB on ESPN Recruiting.
  20. Welcome Vernon and Hook em!
  21. Thanks! I feel with my summary of where we stood just a few hours from the actual committment that somehow I am owed $9.95
  22. I think I have all of this right, but I may have missed something the last few days: On Monday at some point, VB said he was announcing later so he could enjoy his birthday (which was Monday). On Tuesday, some 9.95 dude from somewhere said he heard from sources he was announcing Thursday (aggy rejoices because, you know, Jimbo). Later that same day, someone with sources said VB was "slowing it down". Those sources say VB and family are maybe waiting a few weeks since everything has been "overwhelming" (aggy now has a full stiffy because, you know, they have Jimbo). Last, someone somewhere said this could just be a tactic to keep everyone guessing and he could announce at any time. In summary, no one knows for sure when he announces. As of today, most CB's are still Texas but we shall see.
  23. Outstanding
