Hookemhorns88 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Mark Twain Rivals came out with their initial top 100. Texas has 3 players already committed off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafan903 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I may have, still crappy IMO for a guy in Dodd's position to be taking shots at other athletic programs when his is in a current dumpster fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where you missed the point. I don't think he was taking as shot at another program as much as he was stressing the point that 8 win seasons are not the norm for Texas and that they would bounce back sooner than many other programs would (as I said earlier). Maybe he shouldn't have put a name to a school, but I still don't think that was the intent. You have to learn to read between the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dodds is a dick, and he knew exactly what he was saying. He's very arrogant, and he gets a kick out of bad mouthing other schools. The fact that he is still employeed with Texas is something I just don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very arrogant, and he gets a kick out of bad mouthing other schools. The fact that he is still employeed with Texas is something I just don't understand. I've never said that I like Dodds, nor am I trying to defend him. But people have got to stop being so freaking sensitive these days, and stop fishing for something that isn't there. Missouri has had as many 10+ win seasons since 2000 as Texas has had less than 10+ win seasons. Regardless of what happened in one year, one game, and regardless if anyone likes what he said or not does not change the fact that what he said is true. The point is, 10+ win seasons have become the norm at Texas and anything less than that, while they may be considered good years for other programs, they aren't at Texas. THAT is the point. If he were purposely going to take a shot at another program, why would he choose Missouri??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h-town12 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Were going to have good years again, Dodds told the Austin American-Statesman. Our bad years are not that bad. Take a school like Missouri. Our bad years are better than their good years. But weve created a standard. What an arrogant . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordertown Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think he was trying to point out that that A&M and Missouri had the same number of seasons with 10 or more wins in that time frame - 2. DeLoss Dodds was kind not to use the A&M program in his example. Note: Texas had 9 out of 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 nor would be that dumb . I mean A&M killed the team that you call daddy so its better his team did not play lol.

Valhalla Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just stating the rivalry isn't as dominant as texas fans would like to think besides who won last time in austin. The rivalry is like 3 0r 4 games adhead from 1975. What happen in the 20s and 50s isn't anything to brag about. Just like 2005 NC will always hold more merit than the 1939 NC. Different game. What happened in the 20s and 50s is part of the rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCreek49 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 It's a gutsy move and if he sticks to it, a respectable one. However, some people will take it as arrogant bulling of a bunch of 17 and 18 year old kids to deny them achoices to help them make the right decision for them for their life. He stands to lose several good players each year that could helped his program. However, he will get players who really want to play for texas and do not want to look anywhere else or will be too scared to! He basically gets his picks anyway! I will say, I do not think it is right for a school to pull offers to kids during the recruiting process especially after that have committed because someone else comes along that they thought was going else ware. When that happens some kids get left out after having been strung along and spots on other schools are take. One room is made for them at other schools the shuffle starts and kids get messed over. It nt good. So, if Brown will honor their commitment with a scholarship and not back out as long as they do not visit other schools it may not be such a bad thing! In the end, it's his program and his responsibility so he should get to make the rules! He should keep in mind though, the reason Ole MS got two of the best players coming out this year was that they encouraged them to look around and make the decision that was best for them. They chose Ole MS and indicated that was a major factor in their decision. They did not feel threaten and intimidated and it made them feel that the coaches at Ole Ms was confident enough in their program to allow them to look. It was a risk but the players appreciated it and chose Ole MS partly because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
