    I attended his son's first home game at the Drum. I convinced my friend that his first name was Tally. He played well, so she had plenty chances to stand and yell "Yay Tally Wacker." For most of the first half. We got some looks. But I could tell from the looks on their faces that some them were actually questioning whether that was indeed his nickname. And my friend was built like a young Ann Margaret (thats a historical reference for Sabre) so some of the looks we got were very extended. We may have been drinking, possibly doing other things too. Yay Tally.

    You sure it wasn’t Young Tally Wacker?

    Unless OU has picked back up on their communication with him, I don't think they're much of a factor at this point. Inititally they looked like the favorite and then some time ago I believe he told TFB that he hadn't been hearing much at all from them. Not long after that he didn't include them in his Top 12. Looks to be a Clemson/Texas battle at this time with LSU 3rd.

    BTW, glad to have you back Joe

    I'll second that. It will be nice to get the Recruiting Board to focus on recruiting again.

    Gunnar is supposed to be in Austin this weekend.

    Suchomel thinks we have a good shot at Eric Cade. I dont know if he is correct about all of this but here it is anyway

    ”I talked to Erick Cade last night ... this feels like one that's not getting enough attention. He told me he's basically down to Texas, Bama, LSU, Arizona State and Ohio State. ... If I'm guessing right now, I'd probably put Bama as the team to beat (assuming it has room) but he had some good things to say about Texas and Herb Hand. I’m skeptical that he’ll be a take for Bama (unless they miss on Brocks), LSU, or Ohio State ”


    They didnt put helpful circles around him but he's the biggest OL, thus easy to spot

    So Roach seems to imply the Brocks are silents to Bama, although he did not say this exactly. Still, his most recent post doesnt seem very encouraging

    On the other hand, word is that the bothers have re-entered our recruit/player group chat. And so has OL Bryce Foster. We will have to see if that ends up meaning anything or not.

    There are some people out there who claim to be insiders who say they have been UT all along. But something like this happens every season -- "my son is in school with him" or "I sit next to him in some class." If they are wrong, they just disappear. But yeah, Roach and lemons sound good

    :puke: :confused2: :puke: I'm freaking out man!! I know we have other good talent and some position holes but this seems to be THE defining commitment for Texas this off-season. Land the Brocks and we can call the recruiting class a win. Lose them and it will always be a disappointment and an indictment on TH's recruiting in-state.

    We have one committed offensive lineman.

    How would everyone feel if the Brocks committed to Texas and said it was because Coach Herman was so supportive of #BLM?

    It would be a signal that the paradigm shift has occurred. Which is fine by me except for two things:

    1) Keep the Eyes of Texas
    2) No contributions to political activists

    Otherwise, if it's a concerted effort to recognize what's important to people along with getting rid of Confederate references then I'd say it's on to the show...

    I just don't like the "or else" stuff. They could have accomplished all of this behind closed doors and allowed EVERYONE to roll it out together.

    Maybe the players wanted all the credit.

    So it sounds like they may have rejoined that chat to try and pull someone with them to Bama. If this is true (and they are trying to pull Milroe to Bama with them), then we need to give some serious thought to ex-communicating the parents

    As to Foster, supposedly his mom says "anywhere but Texas." She is already ex-communicated so we dont have as much recourse there

    Meanwhile, it’s been a year since we’ve had an OL commitment. I admit that 6 or 8 months ago, I not only thought we were getting the Brocks but getting Byrd too. And maybe Foster.

    Considering their older brother is already on campus, and earned a scholarship as a walk on, losing out on the twins would be a worse scenario than losing out on Studdard, losing out on the Johnson bros. etc. It would certainly be a defining moment for TH, and may have a major impact on recruiting going forward.

    Should we pull that schollie? Why should these parents benefit? Let it go to a family with a legitimate need

    Another possible OT alternate - film arguably looks a little better than Cade

    I have always considered the elite athletes (college and pro) to be mercenaries. I've had some push back on that. I think we see it in the one and done's. We also see it in the protests over the Eyes of Texas. They don't bleed orange. They negotiate and play the game and you may get them. You may not.

    Now we have these two. It's a free world. But there is no state school. There's only the hiring of tools so that the fan's can get their virtual sexual release out of the vicarious pleasure derived from the exploits of strangers.

    And when we see the cheating along with the fan's arrogant defense of the methods employed, then we know that there is a pathological emotional impairment on a mass scale.

    But I think we all know that. We see it all the time.

    Like hoarding toilet paper. Or needing to pretend a politician cares about you.

    Or winning seven national championships and acting as if it is a sign that your state and school (which you probably didn't even attend) is so superior that your appreciation of it means you are too.

    Well that sucks.
    If we were to have a great season, if we have a season, I wonder if a change of mind is a possibility. I suppose so.
    But this is not the end of the world.
