They did try and get him to portal (at least that is my take) And, by coincidence, there is a dog portal app for that
Well, his blocking (or more accurately, body obstacle placement) did improve as the season developed. All he requires now is a lot more motivation.
Great question JF. I don’t like Urban, but I remember a mic’d up practice from early at Ohio St. he was screaming that’s average! We don’t want to coach average! We don’t want to be around average! I believe Tom was on the staff at that time
This week, I had my fifteen year old watch the opening speech in the movie Patton. That about sums it up.
Now we know why he does not stick at TE which seems to be his natural position until you watch that clip.
Now that's how I would cover wrs if I were a cornerback! Keep jamming and don't let them run their route. Guess that's easier said than done but it's a good way to do it.
You might recall flaky Ron Tatum? He committed to us then flipped to ousux He ended up at a JUCO, and now Traylor landed him UTSA
It is amazing when some of these guys go elsewhere they become problems that Texas missed. Not all recruiting losses or decommitments are bad. Better to discover early they are not buying in before they sign.
Anthony Cook has withdrawn his name from the portal according to reports. It may be that degree is worth something after all. Better to be a valued contributor at UT than a star at Podunk U, also.
I'm going to wait to see how many players disrespect the university and fanbase by ignoring The Eyes.
It will be interesting how many of the fans do also after they see the libretto for The Levee Song. Pretty disturbing lyrics one can sing right along with the Eyes of Texas. Not what America nor Texas represents today. White racism is morally dead.
Darn it BO. You got me to look it up, the levee song, wish I hadn’t. Now it’ll come to mind whenever the band picks up. Happily I have to say, thank God we have come a long way since that, the lyrics in that version. Sadly I have to say, it reminds me of some actions by my long gone relatives.
The important thing to understand is how that sits with our fellow citizens of black heritage. Most of the white citizens came here voluntarily. Almost none of the blacks did, were not paid for there labor, were treated as property and had their families ripped apart there and here. When they see a building or a statute named or honoring one of there former oppressors, it is tough to feel like an equal citizen I am sure. To a large extent, this also applies to native Americans and even Chinese laborers who built the American railroads across the West in the 19th Century. It is simply time to put every American and every immigrant's culture on an equally respected footing. United we are a great country. Divided and hating each other we are less than we can be.
Hopefully (but doubtful) he realizes the Power 5 game is too fast for him and that is the reason for entering the portal. The more likely is he is pissed and will spin the story and blame the Texas coaching staff for either not recognizing his talent or Ash does not know how to coach defense.
