Interesting. I thought it had more to do with trotting out guys like Tyrone Swoopes, Connor Brewer, Case McCoy .... This is while missing on multiple in state targets Manziel, Griffin 3, Luck etc.
It's a little unnerving how much we're recruiting Arizona. Sure there might be a few gems, but that states footballl is not very deep. To put in perspective, Dallas/Fort Worth produces more 4 stars than that entire state. Can't stray too far from home or it's really gonna put us in a pinch in the long run.
Which always comes back to "win and they will come." If Texas keeps winning it won't matter. I have the utmost respect for Texas HSFB, but the sandy vagina's some players and coaches get about having their ego's stroked by the local college coaches is pathetic. It's quite obvious UT wants the best athletes Texas has to offer but won't (nor should it) wait around while recruits go off and flirt with the LSU, Oklahoma, Alabama's of the world. Texas will fill your position with someone just as capable from another state.
Which is why it's unbelievable that Fox, NBC haven't hard targeted a college football live type of show with hosts from literally every conference except the SEC.
If he comes back in 08 I don't think anyone comes close. He would've been the perfect guy to lean on that night in Lubbock. It's sad how many National Titles Texas could have, way too many close calls.
1945 one loss by one point to Rice
1947 one loss by one point to SMU
1961 One loss 0-6 to TCU
1964 One loss by one point to Arkansas
1977 "The Notre Dame debacle"
1983 one loss by one point to Georgia "Muffed punt"
2004 GDGD can't score on OU with Vince and Ced (We wouldn't have beat USC so oh well)
2008 Blake Gideon and Earl Thomas go brain dead in the final minute.
2009 Hey Colt, maybe don't lower your shoulder into a nose guard.
So the only place any school could make deals with "new competitors" is the Big 12. It sure would be funny if what supposedly tore the Big 12 apart (LHN) comes to put it out in front of everyone else i.e. Netflix, Amazon, etc. deals.
I'm in the "Rising isn't too bright" camp. From the Utah board:
"Rising was concerned with the number of carries Ehlinger had at 164. Huntley ran the ball 168 times his sophomore year and missed a couple games. Junior year over 100 carries and missed final 5 games…
Ludwig must have really sold him on a new offense."
what's with all of the bitchassedness in here? Fuck Hurts, and his daddy's bleeding vagina. We're going to beat the ever loving fuck out of those mobilehome loving dipshits twice next year.
