BTW, Texas is in a few recruiting battles right now and not bowing out to save face. There are plenty of players on the roster now that render that idea as false...Jackson Jeffcoat, Jordan Hicks, Malcom Brown(Aggy lock, remember?) and Torshiro Davis to name a few.

Texas dropping out is not about saving face. You won't recruit well at anything with that type of mindset.

Wish RSJ luck as from all indications he is a real good kid.

You Aggies can now thank us for bowing out as it probably means you get to claim the silver medal instead of bronze.

Here's an easy one. The extremely wealthy and well-known Texas man, let's call him "J," tried to have AP's dad transfered to a certain correctional facility and tried to arrange for special visitations by AP, with AP being told that it was the mighty Longhorns who really loved AP and this was but a small sign of good things to come if he'd sign with Texas. He couldn't ultimately pull it off, of course, as some things are even too big for ol' "J" ...
