From Corey Flagg's NS Houston team:
They see us as NFL factory... they know we put kids in the league no matter whatFor some reason Texas kids still really like Miami. I'm tellin ya'll. We have missed the boat for a long, long time.

I agree. I live in Texas myself as well and like you have been pounding the table to start at LEAST making appearances at the major D1 factory schools like in the metroplex, Houston area and stop by the Austin schools to see if they can find a QB that’s getting passed over by UTI think it's deeper than that. Miami broke the mold of college football, and was brash when they did it with lots of African American dudes beating up on the Nebraskas and Oklahomas of the world. Then the Dallas kids went to be a part of it in the late 80s and early 90s. I think that stuff stuck. Just my opinion, but I think that's a big part of it. Most of these kids' dads grew up feeling UM and passed it down. Maybe a bizarre thing, but I think in general Texas folks are less likely to flip flop on allegiances and go with the hot school. That's definitely a sweeping generalization that doesn't apply to all, but compared to So Fla kids a lot of Texas folks are solid rocks of loyalty once they've got "their team".
