    This has got to be the toughest district in the state! 3 ranked teams and a WOS team which is knocking on the door. Throw in HF and HJ and you never know what will happen on any given night.

    Team Sneed Unsigned Sr. Team went 2-1. Played very good in front of college coaches.  A few of the players received college offers to play at the next level. Some players where also invited to visit the college campuses. Great job.

    Beat me to it. Also not defending either, but gas went from about $1.50 to almost $4.00 under bush, then dropped back down long enough for people to say "When Bush left office, gas was under two bucks!" before going back up to where it was before.

    Highest ranked Tech signee since rankings were instituted. My east Texas sources also tell me Patrick Mahomes is not a lock to go MLB either. If he enrolls next fall, stidham going to have some competition for his job.

    Only thing I can say is I can think of a Heisman winning QB who won a NC and completed 65% of his passes his senior year, and not one Ags ever gave him one freakin vote of support. His name was Vince Young. But now you have JFF entering the NFL and all of a sudden, Heisman winners and high percentage pass completions are the qualifiers for a successful NFL career.

    Vince Young became a head case (I truly think the money ruined him) and JFF has attitude issues. Who knows how successful anyone will be until they play? Answer.....no one.

    Man, I can't figure this one out.  I really can't.  I can't say for certainty that he will be a bust, that he will be productive, or that he will be a star.  Could be any of the three.  I agree with Bullets13 that he did get bailed out a lot having maybe the best WR in CFB bringing in a lot of "jump balls."  At the same time, the kid can make all, or almost all, of the throws you need on Sundays.  Injuries scare me a bit with his style if he can't adapt to protecting himself more.  But patience and making better decisions can be taught and learned in the league - and despite some of the things he's done and said, I don't think the kid is dumb.  Again, I can't make up my mind on him and I doubt anyone knows for sure.  I just don't think you accurately say he will be a bust anymore than you can say he will be a Pro Bowler.  He's one you have to wait and see with.  It's a nightmare for a GM though; pass on him and he's a star, you look terrible...draft him and he's a bust, you look terrible.  Personally, despite being a Longhorn and bleeding burnt orange, I wish him all the success in the world.  Love him or hate him or indifferent, no one can say he's not VERY fun to watch when he's doing his thing.  The NFL will be a better product if he's successful.

    Yeah - Was raised in an Aggie family (for generations) and had a close sister that attended Texas Tech so spent a lot of time in Lubbock.  Also had a brother that attended Texas so that is the reason that I don't "hate" Texas the way most Texas fans hate A&M - just sometimes find it hard to support the horns for some reason.
     
    Also, graduated from SFA.

    Idk. If it comes down to Austin vs. Collie Station, we win every time. I always thought they should show those 100 boys a good time in Austin one night, and then bus them down to Bryan/CS the next. Let them compare apples and dog turds, so to speak.
