  Data? What data? I guess I could go pull up all the recruiting rankings for the past several years and it would prove my point. You can see the results on the field. Bama recruits and coaches their 5 start recuits. UT was not coaching them. The won-loss record proved that out or he would still be at UT.   As an aggie, you know that even if your offense if scoring quickly, putting your defense on the field for the majority of the game can lead to bad results. Add to that a Pick 6 here and Pick 6 there, a blocked FG for a TD. It adds up.   Yes. In most games your offense has to score 60 to win. That's how Sumlin runs the show. However, a superior coach with superior athletes will shut that show down faster than a North Korean hacker.   This database goes back to 2006: [Hidden Content]

  Athletic program? We're talkin' 'bout football!   The players under Mack had become soft and entitled. That happens with many 5 star recruits. Everything is given to them and there are no consequences for their actions. They have been treated like kings during the recruiting period and many did not put in the effort once they got on campus. It's the coaches responsibility to squash that mentality and coach them up. THAT was not happening at UT for the last 4 years. MAck had turned into a grandfather figure and not a father figure.   UT benefited by the Big XII being a very top heavy conference. Now, the middle groups have caught up and some have passed them. It was time to make a change.    When you add to that UT's inability to recruit and develop the QB position it amounts to "falling apart". Hell, if Swoops was at all consistent, that defense this year earned 3 or 4 more wins (K State, OU, BYU, TCU). You just can't win with your offense and special teams giving up 14 points  in crucial games.   Strong will get the "benefit of the doubt" for one more year. Then results will be expected.

  You have to scrape the walls before you can paint.

  Man, I hate cancer! I pray the treatments go well for your dad and your family. It's tough on all parties involved.    This place is a great stress relief. However, I can really tell when things are tough at home because my replies get a little terse.    Hang in there. You're never alone.

Stop by and say hello. Section 102 Row J Seat ?? Gotta get myself a fresh tee.

So K Sum gets around 1.5 wins per 5 star? Sounds like Chuckie is doing a much better job with less talent. They could have settled this on the field, but someone Dixe Chickened out.

  We will find out in February.

  You do know what "reaping" is, correct?   If they can somehow win their division, play in an SEC Championship, and win the SEC, then they will have a shot at a NC. Just remember that as well as you are recruiting, Bama is recruiting better. Plus, Saban will out coach 5 Star Sumlin.

  I don't think Meesheguns problems were on the field. Aside from not having a legitimate QB.

  Yes. Arkie and SC would have both beaten you late in the season this year. They were better and as your young team played more games, they got worse.   Notre Dame, Rice, and California are tougher than ASU, Ball State, Nevada, and Western Carolina   You opted for the SEC. Reap what you sow.

     2015 Texas A&M schedule is as follows: September 5 – Arizona State (Houston)  L September 12 – Ball State  W September 19 – Nevada  W September 26 – Arkansas (Arlington)  L October 3 – Mississippi State  L October 10 – Bye Week  W October 17 – Alabama  L October 24 – at Ole Miss  W October 31 – South Carolina  L November 7 – Auburn  L November 14 – Western Carolina  W November 21 – at Vanderbilt   W November 28 – at LSU   L     I see 5 wins (Not counting the BYE week). Another BRUTAL non-conference schedule.

  I'll say both.   Jefferson will follow the girlfriend.   Don't know the other kid, but 5 StarSumlin gets'em all.

Which one is going to Oregon?

The last thing a 5 star recruit wants to do is compete for a job. Especially at Texas Tech.

Cougar High is expected to name Major Applewhite as their new OC.

They still have 6 o-line recruits and Harrison was granted a red shirt. The defense will take the biggest hit with graduation, the offense just needs additional depth. The JUCO kid they got at guard should play day one. [Hidden Content]

  Seems like that's the type of parent you have to be these days.

  Happens everywhere. Not a concern yet.   I have an idea as to why.

  Not yet. Chuck has won a few games for his current employer including the first one.   As for John Boy, 0-1.

“@WVWilkerson: Breaking News: #Longhorns get a new commit from @cecil__cherry3: [Hidden Content] So there's that..

Looks like they will not win a recruiting title this year. Highest ranked o line recruit, but not the only o line recruit. Can't worry about what you don't have. Good luck to him at Ole Miss.

See us later.

Neither can J.J.
