[quote]Who is this "new addition" that 247 is making a reference to? They're implying another commitment before February [/quote] If you're talking about the "Add another early enrollee" thread, it's just that MGK is going to be an early enrollee. No new commits....

OK, if I gave the impression that I was accusing you of avoiding my points, then that was the wrong impression to give. I agree with you that playing at a small college doesn't necessarily spell doom for an NFL career. Your examples proved that. I was just using a couple of the examples you gave...
[quote]AGAIN.....All I said was that going to a HBCU is not a carer killer. And THIS is your argument?[/quote] Why did you feel the need to make two posts to respond to my one? [quote]So tell me. Does going to a HBCU keep you from being in the NFL? because that is what this is about. If you t...
[quote]You know what is funny? You have no idea what anybody said. Nowhere in my post did I say that it was an optimal way to star.[/quote] Is it funny because nowhere in any of my posts did I allege that you said it was an optimal way to start? Are strawmen funny? (In the Wizard of Oz, I guess) ...
You didn't say the exact same thing as I did. Nowhere in your post did you acknowledge that starting out at a small school, whether HBCU or otherwise, is a sub-optimal choice in terms of an NFL career. And sure, Jones and Romo played in the NFL and made a lot of money, but they would have made MORE ...

[quote]Elite to me=projected first round pick.[/quote] By this standard, Bama's 5-star RB signee Emmanuel Henderson, the #1 RB in the nation, is not "elite". https://247sports.com/player/emmanuel-henderson-46095004/ [quote] PROJECTION 2-3 Round DAY 2 [/quote] ...
When you think about notable people who moved to Texas from Tennessee, the first (and perhaps only) person people think of is Davey Crockett. Next time, you may also think of former Vol, Charley Moran. Charley Moran was born in 1878 in Nashville, TN. He played football for the University of Tenne...

[quote]Also, he was at alabama for 6 years[/quote] Granted that Sumlin is living on borrowed time, but it is still important that we not waste a year of physical development for the players on campus.

Loved watching this guy play. For me, he will forever be the definition of "tackling machine". [link=(http://tamu.247sports.com/Bolt/Dat-Nguyen-to-be-inducted-into-College-Football-Hall-of-Fame-50405224)]LINK[/link] [quote]If you ask Texas A&M fans who their all-time favorite Aggie player is, ...

With the uncertainty at QB next year, I can understand why RSJ would be dubious about the likelihood of a breakout season. Probably the right time for him to go. His career here wasn't what I'd hoped it would be, but I wish him the best at the NFL....

[quote]Good. So I'm not the only one on the Les Miles bandwagon. [/quote] Les Miles is an "offensive-minded" coach who vastly under-performed his talent on offense. And he never exhibited a capacity to change/improve that. ...

[quote]You think KState is no better than Ole Miss and Miss St? Really? [/quote] KState is better, but that's because they have a coach who actually would be worth top 10 money. Their talent level certainly should not be comparable to that of our roster....

[quote]Lol. Trevor doesn't get injured and we win 10 games this season and play in the sugar bowl. Things happen[/quote] We gave up 365 rushing yards to MSU. Knight's absence had nothing to do with that. Ole Miss was missing their own starting QB when they played us, and ran out a true fish ta...

I believe I said 9 wins was most likely, with 10 wins being the next most likely, followed by 8 wins. I would have been disappointed regardless with another 8-5 season, but the way we ended up here again made it all the more disheartening. I don't think ANYONE is happy with the season. I think...
