Craig,   Be politically correct......you would say "you dumb Eagle11 American"........please be a better poster in the future

Another player bites the dust

She is googling them right now Nash......she will get back to you with what others tell her to do.   Would I send troops over there? Absolutely yes. I would send more than what we need to kill every person wearing one of those ISIS  flags. Be it 3,000 or 30,000. If twice that are killed in collateral damage so be it. Mosques, community buildings......everything is fair game. End this crap before they can grow, organize and do more damage. But our Blunder in Chief will send more troops to fight ebola than fight a group that wants nothing more than to kill every American that they can.   Once we get this sorted out we watch tv......., 3rd world, dog and cat eating country that burns US flags and complains about what we did, we cut off funding to them that day. If we cut off funding to countries that want to do us harm we would probably pay for this little excursion.   I am through responding ...........Nash, you do the light work please

BigTroll formerly known as Biggurl............Maybe I should enlist and go...........but we do have a full military of great men and women that sign-up to do just this task. What they don't have is a Commander in Chief with balls to fight the ones I believe he is a sympathizer of. Oh wait, I am sorry, he is sending troops to fight the ebola virus. Good job Hussein

Just remember........they aren't Islamic or a state.........Hussein Obama said so

David made a good decision to step away from football. I know this had to be tough to do. It was the right thing to do.   David, good luck in your life after football and thank you for the time you put in for the Longhorn program.

Baddog is right...........I said this when Bush put troops over there. A lot of folks (Biggurl especially) will not like what I will say.   If we commit troops we go fully committed. We gut the damn place. Will civilians die? Absolutely. It is necessary to deal with these low life radicals.   This is war folks, not the homecoming dance. I hope we have learned from previous battles not to hamstring our troops. Hell, warn everyone. Be out of here by this date, we will come through here and if you are here, you are the enemy.

Briles inflating numbers for a Heisman run.

I think the buying of votes and really the buying of reps and sen's is wrong but.........are these do-gooding Democrats that want this straightened out not taking the same money the Repub's are?

I think UH would be favored in Austin   Granted, PhatMack is way more worried and following UT than I am but UH would probably beat my Horns right now.

I am with you Roper........he has to think about his future. I would hope the medical team and coaching staff would take any decision out of his hands and just tell him........"no more"

I have been laying low.......I read most forums on here but refrain from posting for the most part

By a long while do you mean 1939?

I know I am late to the party but I've been busy........how was the sack of RG3 by Swearinger a roughing the passer? He was throwing (not a late hit), helmet in the chest (not a high or low hit) and he did nothing through or after the play.   If that was a roughing the passer, put dresses and skirts on all QB's

I will preface what I say with saying I love high school sports.   My fiancé is a teacher. Her math department lost teachers over the summer and they did not replace all of them. Each math class now has over the amount of students that are designed to be in the classroom. She has to have 3 lesson plans per class (regular kids, ESL kids and slower kids). The part that infuriates the teachers, and myself, the school added another coach to the staff that carries a couple of classes but not math. Athletics goes unaffected but again the teachers are left to deal with all the issues.   I will go back to my original statement......I love high school athletics. BUT, they need to have their place. The are extras outside of actual schoolwork. The school should be funded first. Teachers should have everything they need for their class and class sizes should be manageable. THEN, sports are funded out of the extra's. If we want to get rid of wasted dollars, look no further than the overstuffed front offices (principals on top of principals along with a coordinator for every subject) and the 12 to 16 coaches on the sidelines of a football game. Whether my son/daughter plays sports or not, they are there for an education first.

Sam will see action this year............I admit.........I laughed at that

I will trust in Charlie.........get right or get gone.

I do not know that whatnamecanipick........but I have been told by more than one person (2 teachers and a coach) that this happens. I am not trying to get anyone or any school in trouble, I had never heard of this and found it interesting.   He is a very smart kid (all high level classes at his parents demand). He was never allowed to take the easy road in school.

Question to discuss........   Can a student athlete profit financially off of a scholarship?   The Recruit: Highly recruited football player with excellent grades. Offered a football scholarship at a $$$$ private school. Was also awarded a full ride scholastic scholarship to the same school. I am told, certainly not privy to details, the kid attends on his football ride and will leave school with $$$$ in bank from his scholastic ride.   Can this happen is my first question. If so, can it be done at any school or just private schools? If that is the case then doesn't that create a severely unlevel playing field for state schools?

There are only 2 reasons Michael Sam will or will not make an NFL team. One, does a team or teams think he can play at that level in their defensive scheme. Two, if he can play, do we want to deal with the media circus that will follow.   Most of these owners would hire Charles Manson if he could throw, tackle or run.

I agree in part RaiderRed...........but in the end the kid does not make that decision. There is tough and there is stupid.   Had Petty taken one more good shot and been lost for 4, 6, 8 games Briles would have been roasted.   BUT, every athlete is one hit away from not playing

Just a quick thought...........aTm and Georgia looked good............the balance looked ok (Bama included). I have always heard from aggie faithful that they loved the SEC because SEC teams backed other SEC teams, it was all about the conference...........I was at a big tailgate inside the Reliant Center before the LSU game and while watching Bama I could not help but notice there was not one single LSU fan wanting Bama to win. Quite the opposite cussing at TV's when they went into the lead.   I thought Okie Lite played a great game as well

with the score 24 - 0 in the 2nd quarter and limping pretty badly I could not believe Briles had him in there.

I agree Pats2.............it appears he is one hit away from possibly being hurt severely

Big Panther is correct..........right now on the 40 acres it doesn't matter if he is a 1 star or 5...........time to step up and drive the ship.   I feel bad for Ash......good kid and an above average QB but as a dad, I cannot imagine his folks letting him play another snap.
