We bought up a bunch of **** outside of Dallas when Disney announced the universal going up out there. It was a mixture of common sense with that and then I hate to admit it, but I have a lot of people with the cowgirls and I knew about where they wanted to build all the new facilities and everything. So we just went and bought EXACTLY where Jerry wanted. Lmfao. **** them cowgirls. But we looked into San Antonio and more of Frisco as well.
Perfect pause gif
Aggies are another one…
This is true. They don’t say **** when Texas do it because… well Texas is supposed to be good, they are a traditional power, got oil money behind them, and now … $EC. Whereas these numb nuts think, Miami is not supposed to be good (not a traditional power, no on campus stadium, no facilities
, a “hood school” ), our money is apparently coming in from the illegal drug trade, shifty con men, and we’re riding in on a sinking ship that is the ACC. So it’s not thought of to be on the same level. The hate is still real. The thought is that we gotta “cheat” to win. They are just being Texas.
I was never trying to say we don’t need to be recruiting Texas. We absolutely need to be pulling players in from Texas. But I will stand by my opinion that Florida still has better football players.
NEVER it is all ME instead of WE, take the high road, your play speaks, not your chain.
Based on what criteria?
I'd imagine you understand better than most exactly what went into those decisions throughout the years. While it's all explained off as budgetary elements that kept us from recruiting nationally what it really came down to was two things. (I had this conversation with cmr and Mandy one day and their views were night and day)#1 Complacency. #2 lack of confidence. It was viewed as if we stick to Florida we had a higher likelihood of a commitment because the kid was more likely to have had a good level of exposure to the program. Reality was for higher tier kids, exposure to the program at that time wasn't necessarily a positive. If you didn't have coaches confident enough in selling your vision to ANYONE what would make you think those kids would have confidence in you yourself. I still remember to this day sitting down with Mandy & the bartender & Mike and discussing keele Ringo and Elias rix. I put them on the phone with them & Mandy literally wanted them (the #1 and #2 cbs in the country who had an interest in coming in together)to sell themselves on why we should offer them. They wanted them to justify how we could put the expense of recruiting them into our budget! A kid from Cali and a kid from Arizona (it's a huge budgetary commitment) **** outta here! That phone call ended with neither having an offer and both being told we'd get out to sit down with them face to face ASAP. The craziest **** to it was we were already recruiting dudes from Arizona and kids from Cali... It took me talking Mike into taking a unapproved stop when he got off his flight in Arizona (to see I think it was joey porters kid maybe, all I remember is the other dude was going to a juco) and taking a side trip to see keele cause he was 30 minutes away from the airport. Literally the kids room and his a.d office was nothing but canes memorabilia. They loved um and Mandy and the bartender still refused to give him an offer. Took another 7 months to even get us to communicate with Elias. All that was said to show how dysfunctionaly we would approach national kids. Now we're having to lay pipe (pause)yet again to establish the brand. But Mario's doing it.
We got no shot here…
Brother Oregon isnt touching Texas at WR this year. So far this is who Texas has crystal balled to them at WR:
They landed Wingo last year. All these WRs gonna make Arch look good
That's generally the idea.They landed Wingo last year. All these WRs gonna make Arch look good
