Who was? (I honestly don't know...just giving credit to the dline coach). I agree on the education v football thing...very hard to be the best at both. I'm certainly aware that D1 sports is a full time job....

I'm excited about this game being (hopefully) a yearly rivalry in the future (I'm an old SWC guy however). The hate is real. :doublebird: can't wait for the game on Saturday. I expect nothing less than absolute pandemonium from the Hog fans....

[quote]That being said, it is looking more and more like the Texas sites really are shooting in the dark on the staff hires and nobody has an inside track on real info. [/quote] This seems absolutely correct. I think Quinn will get an NFL job and stay there. There really hasn't been any buzz ...

[quote]is he still on the team, and what is his problem with the program? [/quote] He is foregoing his senior (or extra, I guess) year and "preparing for the draft." His problems with the program are a long story...not worth getting into. They involve him being asked to play injured (not j...

[quote]It’s really LBs that I think are tough in state.[/quote] I agree with this. Finding a LB that has the tools to defend the run and the pass as needed is tough. Or try and convince a bigger safety to spin down (which not all want to do). Overshown did that well this year but I think we're...

[quote]who was the player? [/quote] Rumored to be a DB. Fairly good player - earlier in the year he was much involved with some of the outside stuff going on (protests etc.). I'm not going to name him but you can probably figure it out. Again, no idea if it is 100% true but I do believe it (a...
