  1. Russell Wilson is a successful 5-11 qb in the NFL. Wilson plays for the Seahawks. A very complete team. Anyone remember the number of successful college QBs who went pro and wasted away? They went to the WRONG teams. Russell Wilson went to the RIGHT team. The money says Murray is a baseball player. The question is does Murray want to take the money now (MLB draft), then come back and MAYBE play football in college later if MLB doesn't work out? A&M is a solid school to go to if your goal is MLB. So is Texas. The difference is Texas wins and goes to Omaha regularly. A&M has an unproven defense even with a new DC while Texas is waiting for the offense to catch up. Murray's a smart kid so I'm sure this is being mulled already. Lodge is Dez Bryant 10 years ago. Uncle Calvin was one of the greatest UT baseball players EVER. Dad Kevin was one of the greatest A&M football players EVER. If my son had ANY baseball aspirations, and all these offers, it would be coin-flipping time. It would be time to ask my son if he liked Austin, College Station, or Fort Worth and their respective campuses any more than the other. A&M has been to Omaha once in my lifetime when Texas wasn't there. A&M went 0-2 in 1999. Kyler can walk on the field in September as A&M's starting QB-period.
  2. We used to massively make fun of losing teams. Wrong, I know. One of them was Venus. Venus was a joke. It was a regular question: will Venus or Diamond Hill Jarvis get their only win? When Venus won district I sent them a loud shout out for doing so. Venus found a real coach. Venus won enough games to be district champs. Those Venus kids will be finding Texas Football next July. A previous target was Godley. Godley was also terrible for years. Godley got a coach. The 2-161 coach? Find a new profession.
  3. The Astros have Nolan Ryan. The Rangers don't. Look at the 2011 Rangers roster. Have they added/replaced/equaled? No they have not. Already bought Astros cap. Grew up equidistant to Houston/Arlington. Will switch allegiances however I please, since neither won anything while I grew up!!!
  4. Um, did we ever figure where Mack was going? atm went from 10-2 to 8-4 to 7-5. So obviously, you need some D. Moneywhipping LSU's guy? Good move IMHO. Texas figured it out after Diaz was booted (almost unbelievable he's back at Miss State), plugged ol' Robinson in, and switched to Bedford this year. No dropoff. Now the offense is flat offensive. If Wickline can coerce what he has into something ("so you're saying there's a chance?!?"), UT has a shot at 8-4/9-3. But I doubt it. Please stop going 1939 and wearing those 3-4x national champs shirts ags. You make people google facts about all those old polls and then you look dumb wearing them. There's this thing called the interwebs and seriously, wikipedia. No arguing with these folk Texas fans. When the trophy case goes barren, all you have left is talk. These folk have had since 1939 to develop their talking skills. Their hotschlitz coach has gone from 2 to 4 to 5 losses. Art Briles and Gary Patterson are the best TX coaches. But of course, atm could beat either. TCU 42, Ole Miss 3.
  5. 2nd and 3rd teamers WANT desperately to play and SCORE. I don't even have to watch the video. You get beat 161-2, you deserved to get beat 161-2. Sometimes when you put in the backups it gets worse---a lot worse. 2nd/3rd teamers have ZERO remorse. THOSE KIDS ARE TRYING TO MAKE 1ST TEAM. Cancel the rematch. Reinstate the coach, now. I grew up on 47-0 beatdowns by Yoe in the 80's. We dropped a class and took a 47-0 from Rogers first year. YOU GET BETTER OR QUIT. WE GOT BETTER. "his team" dreads playing absolute losers like yours, coach Chung. "his team" knows how to play ball. When you get beat 161-2, I question your "coaching skills" greatly.
  6. Steve Wood relieved from duties as interim coach, now full head coach at Aledo. Spare the comments. Already roasted AISD in August as this should have been done pre-season. Lesson: when it works, you promote from within. Looking at you DeSoto and Skyline. Ask TCU how that worked out.
  7. Said it early december on this board. Told all else in late August after Strong ran all those Mack players. UT will have a recruiting class talked about. Heard is not Manziel nor VY. But he's very good. He had a lot of talent around him at Guyer. RG3 lit Aledo up 37-12. Heard won 46-34. And yes, RG3 only won 15-9 the next year. Aledo's D is good. Heard put up 46. If you remove BYU, mack removed Diaz, replaced with Robinson. Very good D in '13 on out. Same with Bedford this year. Continuity counts. atm has none. Lodge projects to the NFL as a 50-50. You throw it up to him, it's 50-50 he comes down with it. Highly desirable-at NFL-level. College? Good luck defending him. HS? it was impossible. Newsom is more of a scatback/slot. Slant routes/screens. Create YAC. Can run wildcat O. "get him the ball and see what happens". You combo these 2 and it's a DC nightmare. Godley and Venus were the biggest north TX jokes there were. Both got coaches. Godley has been respectable for a time now. Venus won district for the first time ever. The lesson? Good coaches coach up talent regardless of star-ranking/worth. Ask TCU and KSU. Both have done it for years. Can Charlie/staff coaches? We'll find out soon. Would not be surprised to see Kyler Murray take the MLB money and return to atm a full grown man in a few years. 10-2 to 8-4 to 7-5, stability lost in college station. Take the money and see what plays out in the brazos valley. Guys, talent is only as good as you can coach them up to be. Busts are everywhere.
  8. His attacks on everything public. Enjoy your toll roads. "Why do toll roads get built so fast, yet 35 still UC...?" I kept getting asked. More Q's not at liberty to disclose nor answer---same answer---$$$
  9. I thought that 10-4A D2 had a team that cut football. Wrong. 10-4A D2 was a four team district from the get-go. This is how it got cut up by the UIL. If you would like to trash the UIL, I welcome you to go do their job. And when you trash them, I ask you this: did they do a better job than the college football playoff committee? Good lord, what if one of those would've cut football? Bye week instead? Very interested to see if the legislature can take money from the UIL. Thought this was a create money no tax legislature?
  10. Congrats to the Bremond Tigers. Last time I was there my wife and I ran the Polish Pickle run and the baseball team was in the parade celebrating their state title. Always happy for the Bremond kids winning it all in any sport. I remember when that new stadium went up in Bremond. Time to call up the old alums! We need some signs! Ran into Bremond a few times in baseball in the early 90's. Played a game over there one time. Some teams, you leave, you hope they lose. Never with Bremond. Class bunch. Always have and always will root for them. They were running sound for baseball games in the early 90's at a 1A setup.
  11. Farrington Field has field turf and all aluminum seats now. 18,000 seats. FWISD put in a better replay board than Aledo's Bearcat Stadium has. Farrington should be an absolute no-brainer HS playoff venue... One problem: never upgraded RR facilities. Still 2 toilets and 2 dozen urinals. I HAVE bothered FWISD about this...maybe one of you out there with more credentials could let FWISD know they have an untapped gem in Farrington. And Clark (12,000 seats) for that matter. Go recruit some playoff games FWISD. Two really great stadiums not being used in November/December. My last Temple game was McQueen's last at Wildcat Stadium: a last second win over Ellison in 99. I miss the red facemasks. Glad the blue front/white back has lived on. That IS Temple.
  12. 2013 Aledo was an F5 meeting cardboard boxes for 12/16 weeks (HP/Stephenville/Ennis/Brenham). So 2014 was expected to be good/great. 14 was beyond all that. I've been on record doubting the 2013 Juniors at Aledo. And really, "doubting" is they'd make the semis, not the title game nor win it. If you'd like to doubt the 2014 juniors at Aledo, be my guest. Here's your black powder and gasoline. Your comments are your matches.
  13. Made it a point to call out salt-n-Tepper pre-Aledo/Temple game and shake his hand. He knows his stuff. Renner is amusing, but barely knows Stephenville from Aledo. But man, the poor Ticket guy opposite Corbett Smith gets to be a trainwreck to watch some Friday nights.
  14. 15 second video review will happen at the UIL state title level. If they can determine it in that time to overturn it. Kyle Field blew it 20 years ago at the Katy/Plano game when no upper levels were opened. It was a joke. Spoke to son of a Katy school board who said they'd never come back after that.
  15. It is sad that Bremond has to play at 10am on a Thursday morning for state where in the past they were playing on a Saturday night at Shotwell. KTXA 21 has shown games up here for years. KTXA is not some big outfit like FSSW. So could they go over and play at SMU at a decent time whilst the "big boys" played at Jerryland? Absolutlely. And their games could also be televised, just like the others. Problem: they would conflict. On the fence on this.
