So the Ags finally got one we wanted. Maybe we can swing him back like we did with Fobbs.

I don't know where we would place him. not at wr if we want montgomery, neal etc. not a rb if we take hill, maybe taylor. not at lb with all the commits and offers. he is definitely a good player but no real spot for him. good luck at a&m.

I have never heard of any WoW bet on texags

I thought WoW and liking football were mutually exclusive?

there was some guy on texags (go figure) who said that he'd give his wow account up if sherman did or didn't win the title (i can't remember which way he said).

Seems like a few of their fans are trying to own this board.

I can only speak for myself, and I prefer to go 3rd person when given that chance, so if yall will allow..... SECede Ag enjoys the banter over here, he likes the insight from some obviously pretty plugged in posters, the ribbing and not being threatened with the ban hammer that he has incurred at other locales. SECede Ag is a realistic Ag and has said as much here numerous times. He rolls his eyes at idiot posters just as y'all do, regardless of loyalties. TD is a good board don't run people off with the us against the world Napoleonic complex.

Have you seen his film? Don't see anyway Hill, as a potential rapist, gets an offer over Bourque. Also Bourque is a much more physical runner than Hill. I think you people are trying to devalue Bourques talent because he is leaving.

What is this wow account? Have lurked on TA for years and have not a clue what this is about.

Egg- what's your disdain with TA? Serious question, donyou think they are idiots? Do you only go to free forumns? The locked boards and free boards are night and day, totally opposite at the core but can drift towards each other on the fringes.

Let's not start this game. If we had an offer out to the kid at this early stage in the game, we want him.

Long way til signing day. If nothing changes, good luck to him.

Someone in the know, word is LSU had an assistant coach in Crowley today. Has the mafia already moved in? Any truth to this or are there other Tiger targets around those parts?

Hence the question Memphis. I thought you were dialed in, no?

Has this been confirmed? I'm not questioning it, I just don't remember reading it in an interview.

We definitely offered as a WR, but it also may have been contingent on academic progress. Either way, we have interest.

God Damnit! If I am not mistaken... LSU beat the shite out of A&M in the Cotton Bowl...so why on earth would a Louisiana boy choose Gig'em over LSU?
It doesn't make sense.

He wants to play RB. Same with Fobbs. He was committed to A&M until Les said he could play WR.

here's what he said: LINK

quote:

why on earth would a Louisiana boy choose Gig'em over LSU?

“I felt it was the right time (to commit),” Bourque told Scout. “The coaching staff stayed with me and showed me love the whole time. When some schools questioned my academics, the A&M staff didn’t back off and understood my situation. Plus, everybody there is so helpful and like a family. Everybody says ‘Howdy’ there and makes you feel comfortable. I also fit into their offense.”

The 6-foot-2, 200 pound running back is a terror on the field but several schools were scarred off due to academic issues early in the recruiting process. Bourque has been working daily towards qualifying and appears to be on track to enroll next year.

“It’s been a challenge, but I know that if I don’t do this then I won’t get a scholarship,” he said. “I’m used to it. I have to do it to graduate and reach my goals of going to college.”

Bourque rushed for 2,326 yards and 40 touchdowns as a junior. He has reportedly runs a 4.4 40-yard dash to go along with a pair of good hands out of the backfield. LSU offered him as a wide receiver while other schools are recruiting him as an athlete or running back.

Bourque becomes the third Aggie commitment to hail from Louisiana in the class of 2012 and is the second running back in the class.
