    Should have offered $10,000,000.00 to anyone who stops a defender from hitting the quarterback

    Still trying to figure out exactly why he would say that publicly... was there a 10 year delay on guilt... he's trying advance his career by throwing his alma mater under the bus...i don't get it.

    I'm not surprised by any of this. You have aggy buying Dickerson a Trans Am and Fed Ex-ing players money. Auburn buys Cam Newton for a quarter mil, Big Red Automotive is paying players for jobs they don't even come to, I mean we could be here all day talking about the infractions in college football.

    I have always despised fans of guilty programs that say, "Well everyone else is doing it too." and you're not going to hear that from me. I'm very disappointed by this, I don't believe a word of Acho's back tracking, and I'm embarrassed for our school. If everyone else is doing this then I want us to be the school that isn't.

    Acho showed poor judgement in making any comment re: the purported bounty.

    Texas has always done it, there is nothing new with this. It's all part of the $100 hand shakes that have been going on forever. Texas has a number of lines it will not cross, but the $100 handshakes are something no University can control. Keep in mind, the guys doing it aren't the big time boosters like Red, it's less known millionaires that are looking for a little recognition. It's their way to stay close to the players and program.

    love Acho the Texas Ex. As a broadcaster, he thinks he's cute a little too much for my taste.

    Once he tweeted about transferring during halftime of a game he lost me and manny was right kid was getting burnt like toast just about every week. The tape doesn’t lie. Acho shouldn’t have said that crap on tv today though.

    Locker room humor. Why did he even mention it?

    Acho is a smart guy, has a UT degree including a T ring. Where is the discretion? Why bring this up now to be “cool” or whatever? Why the need to be nostalgic about boastful lockeroom talk at that time among UT players in the NFL and players on that 2009 team?

    Furthermore, he saw no money change hands and provided no evidence anyone actually received $.

    He said it was all just locker room kidding in his latest post. His initial "reporting" was careless and not factual.

    Can
    Can’t stand Acho. Yes, massive mouth. It’s all about him. That’s probably why ESPN loves him. He interrupts everyone. His opinions are more important than everyone else’s. Regardless of whether or not it’s true, he’s an *ss and they need to ban his *ss from the 40 acres.

    Well, we only intercepted one pass in that game. Of course Alabama could barely get any passes into the air in the first place.

    That's nothing compared to some of the stories that Chris Simms has told on his radio/streaming show.

    I guess Acho is trying to become a national guy (=more money)
    But I dont find him particularly insightful, he is just another one of those guys who tries to figure out what is the most outrageous take and says that. These guys are a dime a dozen. They ones that stick have at least something else. Does he? I would not call Acho particularly likeable, funny or charming.
    And as to Texas, I would say he has burnt that bridge. So if his "go national" campaign fails, i cant see him being welcomed back to Austin.

    Agree with those of you who can't stand Acho the broadcaster. Big, loud, pompous, know-it-all mouthpiece.

    If true, makes me wonder if Gideon picking off Alabama's fake 4th down punt pass was more about greed than stupidity. It cost us about 15-20 yards of field position.

    Acho and Brian Jones. Two former Longhorns that are loud mouthed and bored. Aggy can have em both.
