Aggies, Tech says 'you're welcome'.

2014 NFL Draft: List of picks by conference;
etos10 replied to RedCreek49's topic in College Football/Sports
the Big 12 as a whole was younger than any of the other Top 5 conferences. We did not even have a lot of athletes eligible for the draft. It did not help that Texas had none drafted, but who did they lose that was eligible? I think that number will grow exponentially in the next year or two. -
actually, I have rarely heard negative comments about Lubbock from UT fans (not sure they care enough to say anything bad) Most comments come from aggie fans. and truly, CS is not that great of a town. it's biggest advantage over Lubbock is that it is not far from Houston and only 2-3 hours from Dallas. Lubbock is much larger than CS and has most of the advantages of a larger city........

There is rarely a bad cow smell in Lubbock. the feed lots are all north of Lubbock--that is a smell indigenous to Amarillo. Lubbock is pushing 300K in population. They have almost every restaurant that is in the DFW area plus LOTS of good locally owned places too. There is a lot to do there--concerts, clubs and just the fun atmosphere of the school. If you look at the quotes of the kids who have recently been recruited there, they love Lubbock and the whole Tech experience. Henderson--how many times have you been to Lubbock?

2014 TEXAS RANGERS OPENING DAY ROSTER
etos10 replied to cheaptrick77's topic in Major League Baseball
WHO???? Haven't gotten to see much pre-season this year, but who are those players? recognize maybe half of that list. Interesting! -
It does not. His fastball is straight as an arrow and his change up, while pretty doesn't have a lot of movement on it. just not terribly impressive. We had a pitcher here about 8 years ago, Carson Middleton, who threw in the upper 90's and had some amazing movement on his pitches. I remember being really wowed by his pitching. He was drafted in like the 40th round and never played above the college level (he played at A&M) because of laziness and extra curricular activities. I believe Patrick has the work ethic, just that he is better in football (and maybe even basketball) than he is in baseball.
-
Not sure what position he plays, but he is looking to pitch at Tech and at the Major League level.
-
yes, he plans on playing baseball at Tech.

I watched Patrick pitch last night. He wouldn't even do well at the college level the way he was pitching. He was quite unimpressive (my son was on the Tech team and is a baseball coach so I have seen a lot of pitching). He could throw at 92-93 mph (the scout with a radar gun was right in front of me), but Lindale was hitting his 92-93 mph fastball. So no, not too worried about him going MLB this year. Have heard for over a year that he is not the pitcher his father was. And pair that with the fact that his parents really want him to get a college education first, I think he will be at Tech in the fall.

We will have Patrick Mahomes next year to back up Davis Webb.

kid would be smart to look again at the Ryan Perilloux (sp) disaster. Les got him away from Texas promising him the world and then renigged on the promise(s). Les is less than honorable when it comes to promises made to recruits. just my .02 worth.

Guns Up! Great day to be a Red Raider! Very excited about this! Big time Boom!

Spurrier calls out Saban over 10 sec rule ...
etos10 replied to KirtFalcon's topic in College Football/Sports
Just curious, does anyone else have trouble reading the posts by Lion? It is just gibberish to me everytime he posts. -
my point was not about this athlete. my point was because you feel it is ok for a student athlete to stay on the team if he is caught with drugs either in his possession or in his system, but ok to kick the kid off the team for theft. I see a double standard there. both are illegal, both are done all the time and both should be punished the same. PERIOD. and I bring up the 'honor code' because both actions violate it, but only one causes you to be kicked off the team and out of school.
-
if this were a longhorn or red raider, you aggies would be absolutely jumping all over the apparent double standard being set here. I know you will deny that, but I guarantee it is true. and for an institution that has the 'honor code' that A&M does, then both issues SHOULD be treated the same. but the 'honor code' (and I use quotes for a reason) is only there for appearances. btw-watch for this kid to land on Baylor's team by the time the season starts.

New NCAA Rule Proposal Would End No-Huddle
etos10 replied to sawemoff's topic in College Football/Sports
this has been tabled and will not be voted on tomorrow as scheduled. hopefully it is dead in the water! -
Tech is 6-1 including a series win (3-1) over then #3/11 Indiana. Not a bad start to our season!
-
Cruz still could end up there..............

New NCAA Rule Proposal Would End No-Huddle
etos10 replied to sawemoff's topic in College Football/Sports
So the clock that was added to make offenses snap the ball and not deliberately delay the game is now going to be used to deliberately delay the game? Got it. Brilliant NCAA.
