Fuck, dude. Are you really like this outside of your message board tough guy persona? You need to look into Hinduism and check yourself. You take shit too seriously for anyone to take you seriously. 
 

Fuck off with your negative bullshit. It's in every fucking thread. You just have to take a shit on someone and thump your chest. Fucking chill the fuck out for a change. 
 

It went from seven win Steve to moving the goal posts. Give it a rest, already. 

You’ve been around since Hornfans, right?

 

 

 

it’s RIGHT THERE IN HIS FUCKING SCREENNAME.

A bad throw on a fade route is (nearly) always just an incompletion. A bad throw on a quick out can easily be jumped and go the other way. 

It’s a low percentage play but can make sense in some circumstances (young QBs in the Redzone, low percentage 3rd downs). Always viewed the play to be more about the WR than the QB. You got a guy like M Irvin and I can see it being part of the offense. Someone big and crafty (his patented push off) that is a beast in 50/50 situations. Nobody on the current roster has shown that ability though.

The dude didn’t give a fuck about defense, so excuse me for not placing some coach who again never won shit and doesn’t even have a conference title on his resume. Perhaps if he was a better HC he could have at least won a conference title. The only reason yall like him as much as you do here is his philosophical shit and his anti Aggie rants 

You probably think Bill Snyder is very mid, too. 27 years with only two conference championships. No national titles. 

Compare what coaches did before and after Leach at Texas Tech, Washington State, and Mississippi State. I find your measurements for success in sports across the board on every sport you choose to opine about to be unreasonably excessive. It makes me wonder if the people around you measure your successes and failures similarly, and let you know about it on a daily basis.

Just wait until Drew Martin reads my email and the stadium starts blasting Gone Country or Chasing that Neon Rainbow when homeboy scores.

Three things can happen when you pass the ball. Two of them are bad.

Couldn't you also say that about a run?

Fumble

Tackle for loss/no gain

Positive gain

Awaiting Cooper tomorrow. Would like Benjamin 8/2, perhaps we’ll surprise.

Seems like Benjamin has been slip sliding away. I guess Oregon is just going to take 13 safeties this cycle.

The other thing about Mike Leach that some forget is the fact he installed the offense at OU that won the national champsionship for them in 2000 under Mangino as OC, and led to their Big 12 success for so many years.

Lanning must have taken “How to sign a Paper Tiger Recruiting Class; Overload on Safeties and WRs” at the “Tom Herman School of Roster Development”

Damn. It's like nobody knows their history.

Everyone knows the fucking quote, dude. It doesn’t change the fact that, particularly in today’s modern age of football, it is an outdated and bad take. And trying to legitimately use it to justify modern football behavior is rightly mocked.

I didn't even know Hornsfans existed. My first dive into message boards was Shaggy.

Hollywood, Fla., running back Derrek Cooper announces his decision tomorrow evening at 6pm CT.

Cooper, one of the nation's top players, has it all. From size to speed, from toughness to elusiveness, he has the makings of a special running back. He even has good hands out of the backfield.

Cooper says he is deciding among Texas, Miami, Georgia, Ohio State and Florida State. Of course, dozens of schools put their name in the hat before Cooper narrowed his choices.

With about 36 hours to go, we believe Texas remains in the pole position. However, things can and do change quickly in this era of college football recruiting, so we'll keep our ears to the ground to the very end.

And one more thing that is worth thinking about...

Cooper is one of those few recruits teams just aren't going to walk away from after he announces. He's just too good for that; he's viewed as a potential difference maker by multiple teams (including Texas, of course). So the teams involved with his recruitment aren't going to go quietly.

**

Cooper's national recruiting ranking seems to be all over the map. Some have him a top 2 or 3 back in the country; others have him outside the top 5. Texas and other colleges clearly view him among the very, very best, or they wouldn't be after him this hard.

And that leads me to this...

Here's something I think the recruiting ranking industry misses in a major way:

If a player is so good that certain teams are going to stay on a player even if they have committed elsewhere, I think that says more about how highly college coaches view those recruits.

I'm not just talking about Cooper here. Think of Malakai Lee, who is committed to Michigan, of Jameion Winfield who is committed to USC, of Kendal Guervil who is committed to Florida, as well as others. None of those players are "ranked" among the top 50 in the country. Yet Texas and other schools with a great, recent track record of developing and identifying talent sure are recruiting each of those guys like they are.

Consider this scenario. When some recruits announce for another program, Texas and other schools just move on down the road. Yet for others, they're willing to fight to the brutal end.

To me, that aspect is more telling of just how highly viewed a prospect is than any recruiting "rankings" list.

Simply put, if national recruiting powers who are producing draft picks like Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, etc., are fighting to the very end on guys, it speaks infinitely more to the valuation and ranking of those players than any third party recruiting service who doesn't have their job on the line with a ranking.

The recruiting ranking industry ignores that, or at least attempts to. And I think it does a disservice to the players and coaches it is discounting.

Instead, it is more like a stock market that irrationally undervalues certain fundamental aspects.

Fucking Red October. Quentin Griffin just scored again.

Compare that blOU coaching staff to the one Mack had put together. Despite arriving at Texas a year earlier, Mack's was far inferior, especially on the defensive side of the ball. blOU had Mangino and Leach running their offense and Venables + Stoops on the defensive side, while we had GDGD and Bull Reese bumblefucking around.
