oldollie Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 So Mack was too? ;D ;) I think what you said was a part of it. I also think some of these top ranked recruits were not as good as predicted. You have guys like Geoff Ketchum jumping these guys from 3 stars to 4 and 5 stars just because they committed to UT. I saw where I think it was CFN went to the Big 12 spring practices and rated A&M, and Baylors athletes better than UT. I don't think Mushchamp or Davis really had your typical UT football players to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyT60 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 and yet if Gilbert could take a snap or make a handoff Texas still beats A&M. If you improve the most important position on the field, everything else will fall in place. The turnover ratio is what killed Texas the most last year. You had an OC that was saved by VY and then Colt and all of a sudden he didn't have a QB that could bail him out, and yet refused to change schemes. Jamal Charles would have really went off if he had been the I-Back in an ISO set, instead of having to come to the line of scrimmage, stop, wait for the read, and take off again. The OC should have been let go along time ago. If you really think A&M has better athletes keep drinking the kool-aid, reverend Jones will be by any minute. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldollie Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I should take your word for it? ;) I don't care if A&M has better athletes as long as they keep winning. As Horn fans have told A&M fans for years this is a rivalry game so anyone can win or keep it close. :D But the truth is on the field 9-3 and 5-7. I just believe UT has bigger problems than changing coaches, and it didn't look a lot better this spring. UT won't be down long but you guys act like everything is OK and an easy fix.

JohnnyT60 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 After looking at the 2008 and 2009 class, it appears A&M offered to a little over half of the Texas commits. The ones that they didn't Texas beat out the likes of USC and ou. Like at most schools there were a few reaches, but a couple of those have been very productive at UT.

oldollie Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I have have been surprised before! ;) But I just think ya'll are thinking this will be quick because of the past and some recruiting guys ranking of high school players. Gilbert was the National Player of the Year, so those things don't always work out. Ya'll are talking about athletes, Fuller, Gray, Micheal, Nwachukwu, Matthews, Joeckel, Tannehill, Dustin Harris, Hunter,Miller and maybe more could have started for UT easily last year. So the talent level for athletes at A&M is not as for from UT as ya'll think.Besides athletes don't win games football players win games, and there is a difference.

oldollie Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 By the way, I never have said UT will suck. I think they go 8-4 and maybe even 9-3. Just not in the National Championship hunt like ya'll think!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyT60 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 The heck with Y'all, they win it all next year!!! lolOn a side note, I have to say it was sweet to see A&M & Texas beat Nebraska on their way out last year. Especially since it seemed to be the former SWC schools that irritated the cornh........ok I'll be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
