I have to chuckle at Texas.

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Heard the fans saying they were back with the new coach.

Pump the brakes Tea Sippers, Maryland is handing them their *** in the first quarter.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Underachievers gonna Underachieve*****

The Eyes Of Texas Are Upon You....Maryland 21, Texas 7.
Now, the Teasippers can Underachieve in Style.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Ha ha

and just like that, blocked kick, 6 points.

 

[thatsbaseball]

I really wonder if Texas high school football isn't what it used to be.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

LOLOLOLOLOL FG kicker we passed on hooks his first try, gets the second blocked and returned for a TD!

So much for Preseason Top 25 rankings.

 

[MaroonNation]

I've heard for years that Texas HS athletes are highly overrated. They have lots of money to spend and most recruiting services are staffed with mindless ***** who are dazzled by the bling and don't really evaluate the player.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

As much as I want to see the Horns castrated, I must pump the brakes; too much talent to chalk this one up yet. I think Herman will get it done eventually.

Texas football is basically a track meet. You can find top notch Quarterbacks and receivers out here. However, Line Play and defense is non-existent.

 

[MaroonNation]

Texas has the same problem OM does minus the illegal ****. All big schools in Texas have filthy rich boosters who scheme and position themselves to heavily influence the athletic departments. When you have your AD's giving coaches ultimatums 2 months ago in the media instead of face-to-face that shows these ADs have a lot of booster's hands stuck up their asses. It's actually funny to watch because if either Texas or A&M ever hired a coach like Mullen or Saban, who would immediately tell the cigar boys to get bent and stay away from my Program, you could shut the football playoff system down. It would be UT/A&M every year.

This

Texas high school football is advanced, complex, & extremely well coach, but soft.

When you go watch Texas HS football, you will see the most polished, complex high school passing games you've ever seen, but they game is finesse & soft.

Thus, the Big 12 in general & Texas A&M reflect that. It's a factor that no one wants to talk about

Texas HS football is what it's been for years. They develop QBs and WR for these high tempo spread offenses, but don't have a any toughness or play any defense.

+1 Almost all the big high schools run the spread and just don't seem to be that physical. As someone else said, the Big 12 reflects the HS football in TX.

 

[RocketDawg]

The problem is, they're playing a not-so-good B1G (ex-ACC) team. Gonna be bad when they play some upper level competition.

OK and OK ST. are the only really good teams in Big 12.

You are exactly right. We could recruit skill players here, but only a few places really develop linemen.

When I helped coach Pop Warner after first moving here, they had no idea how to coach defensive skills and tactics. All they knew was blitz and zone coverage. Our team was one of the better teams on defense. They even tried to get me to come back and help other teams after my boy moved on to the school ball.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

I knew a guy who was a head coach at a small Texas High School

He told me his school had some of the best facilities he'd have ever seen. However, they just didn't any athletes and they'd only win 2-3 games a year.

There are definitely some places like that. West Austin though has several really good teams, which is crazy with them being so close to one another.

Of course, there is some kinda crazy amount of money around here as well... just not at my house.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

This is enjoyable.

 

[Original48]

Mullen's been SUCH a great evaluator and developer of kickers.. But that's what we've resorted to? Bashing kickers we passed that were offered scholarships to Texas who are struggling? Wow. We got enough problems. And by the way Josh is an incredible kid and comes from an incredible family. He was lights out for Madison Central and Gulf Coast CC. He earned a scholarship offer. But he's definitely having a tough day and I certainly hope he can turn it around. And no I'm not a member of the Rowland family but I'm about as close as I can be.

 

[MaroonNation]

Some dude got destroyed on that run back lol. All I saw was guy windmilling in the air

 

[TBone.sixpack]

This is nuts.

 

[thatsbaseball]

OM has better LB's than Texas...and that's bad

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Seems to be really hurt bad. Never like to see that.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Horrendous call !!!

Sorry dude but I was laughing at Texass, not the kid. The blocked kick was not his fault. Jeezzuzzzsss

I live in Austin surrounded by these elitist *****.

Have a 17ing snickers and tell his family I'm glad he is going to get a good education.

 

[boatsandhoes]

Pampered. They play defense like liberals.

Soft and very tender

i totally agree. There are enough things to write about without choosing to make fun of a young man.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Their pres season rankings this and last year is based purely on recruiting.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I won't restate what I already said of the fact that my post was about the Texass ********, I just mentioned this kid because we recruited him, but I will remind you guys of these posts when you are bashing our players or another team's players as the season goes on.
