I used to walk 15 miles uphill both ways just to get a copy of the Statesman’s fab 55. If a player wasn’t on that list no one knew their name until the first game when it was on their jersey. 

I walked from campus to Leander just to scout a player in person. Then I walked back 12 hours later. I couldn't walk for more than 15 minutes without my knees hurting for like a month after that. True story...except for the "scouting a player" part.

Pressley was good for recruiting updates back in the dialup age. The only time in my life I had insider info was Quentin Jammer.  Roommates girlfriend’s father was his hs principal.  He was like don’t sweat this shit, he’s going to Texas.

The day after signing day I'd tell my mom I couldn't take the bus home because I had to go to the county library after school, then walk to the library after school just to look at the AAS 55.  Ok, I just looked it up and it was only .4 miles but still.

This was in 81 or 82 and even my young mind could tell there was a shitload of OU, SMU, TCU and Aggy on that list and not much Texas.  I just figured we were Texas and it was our God given right to always be good, we didn't need no stinkin' blue chips

From what the UT 9.95ers have said over the years, pre-2002 recruiting cycle you kept up with recruiting through newspapers, magazines, local/regional high school sports shows, & etc.

Why are you still posting this? It has been explained to you by at least a dozen posters over the last two pages. Both of these posts are wrong.

With Red emerging, Blue showing signs of life, and Baxter living up to the hype, I bet that keeps Sark from looking in the portal for another RB. I'm sure that would change if an all conference back were to put his name in. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, Blue was the number 1 back in the country before he was kicked off his team right? Blue, Baxter, Gibson would be a helluva heater. 

Did you forget about our actual top two RBs on the depth chart; Brooks and Robinson?

Same, except a few years later.  The Dallas Morning News would have a Top 100 National, State, and Local list.  We'd have, maybe, 1 on the National list. I got really, really excited right before my freshman year at Texas because we actually signed a Top 100 player from D.C. - Lovell Pinckney.

Savion Red isn’t a walk-on, he’s one of the top stories of the spring. And since Murphy was the QB, it was backups (3rd team?) perhaps vs. twos, and they scored on a long run that probably doesn’t happen very often. I’m glad they have emotion and support their teammate. Plus, it’s a good sign how his teammates reacted to Red, he’s known to have a strong personality, so it’s probably accepted by the team rather than frowned upon.

I don't know anybody's practice jersey number (or real jersey number on most days).

My point wasn't that it was a walkon... It was that it looked like excitement for a walk on.

It was a straightforward scrimmage play that was well executed by the offense and pretty poorly by the defense.

Hooray?

There is an enormous chasm between your average bj and a fantastic one. Some of y'all probably haven't had a woman (or someone - nttawwt) who truly knows what they're doing.

However, I agree with you that they're not comparable to great sex.

It's fun to get a blow job when you're watching TV.   Something to look forward to when the show is over.

Coaches said the guys can have a pizza party on Friday if they score on this play.

They probably made him a writer because no one in the mailroom could stand being around him any more.

Jerry Scarbrough's TruOrange was the old school analog GOAT. A weekly newsletter/email riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. But his info was very solid. He correctly called Hicks to Texas in 2010. I don't really remember getting his emails after that.

My late FIL always received a copy of Jerry Scarborough’s newsletter. He was in constant amazement that I already knew much of the information. It took him a few years to realize that there was this website, Hornfans, where a bunch of us were acquiring this supposed insider knowledge that he had to pay for.

Considering that there is compelling supporting evidence that TheMailbox is actually Geoff Ketchum over here sniffing for recruiting intel, it actually tracks that he wouldn't know jack shit about the history and timline of recruiting and the internet. 

[BurntOrange&White 39268]

My first memory of recruiting rankings was the Fab 55 that was in the Statesman. I was really young when those were a thing then I remember the transition to Rivals then Scout had a ranking. 247 came along with the composite and changed the game.

Ketch was around in 2001. This is some kind of weird gaslighting that we should probably be ignoring.

Let's not jump to conclusions. It is pretty obvious to me that Anwar knows far less than Ketchum about recruiting.

With the spring game this weekend, I clicked on the thread called 2023 Spring Practice to Fall Camp Thread hoping to see some player updates, how the early enrollees are doing, and maybe some speculation on how the staff will adjust after the losses to the draft/graduation.

I never knew where people in college got recruiting info from. I would be having a beer with someone that would tell me about Corey Redding or Nathan Vasher and where they went to high school and I just pretended to know what the fuck they were talking about. I used my precious dial up Internet time in my apartment to download music on napster and look at pictures of naked women. Everything I learned about the team I learned from reading the Daily Texas on the bus ride to school.

Few students were paying for subscriptions. Most of the info back then was probably from Dave Campbell's. I had the magazine memorized by the time the next edition arrived.

I think on the last IT podcast with Bobby and Justin that Justin mentioned some issues with Campbell. Like, maturity and attitude problems that were ongoing. I take this as a pretty bad sign - maybe Campbell has already told them he's going to the portal? Maybe he's pissed that he's still competing for reps? Justin was pretty definitive that as soon as Hutson comes back that he is starting at either G or C.
