georgia has little in state competition for recruits.
Georgia annually has a huge number of highly rated recruits.
if they get a charismatic recruiter they will keep Clem, Bama and UTk from getting their best guys.
Texas has the name and lots of recruits, but lots of in state competition.
I presume that eventually the Tex10/12 will let NM and NM State in, so they can play Oklahoma in the B12 championship game rematch.
Georgia.
Texas is not really sleeping. Just reloading.

I don't get why people bash the boosters at Texas. The same dudes were around when we won a title in 2005. One huge booster complained publicly about the Strong hire, and he was 100% correct.
What facts do you have to support your assertion that the Texas boosters are holding back the football program?

Texas has 1 national title since 1971. Considering everything they have going for them I'd say if they aren't sleeping then at a minimum they're nodding off and trying desperately to keep their eyes open

I dont think anyone is disregarding the fact that Ga has big time programs poaching players. But the fact that we dont have to go against an A&M, Baylor, TCU, TT, SMU, TexSt, rice, etc before we even worry about neighboring state schools is kinda nice if you think about it

They have to re-think their entire process when it comes to "reloading." Much has changed in intrastate competition for recruits--some of it permanently (RE: A&M in the SEC, TCU in the big12, etc.). What worked in the past for them won't be as effective going forward.
They won't be down forever, but it'll be a much tougher row to hoe than it used to be to get to the top in this state. Additionally, I think the growth of the sport and 24/7 news/recruiting cycle is going to make stays at the top of the Texas food chain much more fluid in the decades to come.

quote:Too much booster influence can ruin a program, just ask Alabama. Even though Mack Brown kept Texas in the hunt for almost a decade, he was still a booster puppet. If the boosters would let go and let the coach have total control, Texas could do what Saban has done at Alabama easily. Those rich, arrogant s.o.b.s are too stupid to realize it though. They are too worried about if they are being recognized and getting credit for the program's success.

I acknowledged your point in my post. just not as long a list. the main characters though.
that's why they are a sleeping giant. big potential.

I agree with your post, though.

Every post about distance in this thread is off by a good amount or everyone drives 25+ over the speed limit at all times

If you're trying to argue that Texas has it rough because they have to get into recruiting battles with SMU, Rice, and Texas State I'm afraid that you may be deranged.

that was definitely a mistake on my part, yeah that'd be quite the haul. For real though I don't think people realize that it's only ~70 miles between the two campuses. But they aren't in the physical borders of Georgia so I guess UGA needn't worry since they aren't "in state competition"

So you'd rather battle TT and the like than AU, Bama, Clemson, FSU, UF?
Gtfo.

The frick is wrong with comprehension levels in here. I plainly stated that texas has a frick ton of instate programs to deal with, right in kids back yards, BEFORE they even fight with the Sooners,cowboys, buckeyes, LSU, and other surrounding SEC schools etc for recruits

Yeah but your dumbass also included SMU, Rice, and motherfrickin Texas State as programs they have to "deal with". Your point is the exact same as saying UGA has to deal with kennesaw, Ga Southern, and Ga State too before getting to the big boys. It was a retarded point not based in any kind of reality.
Posted on 12/20/16 at 4:47 pm to WG_Dawg
Good lord. my point stands. UT has just as many out of state big name schools coming for recruits as UGA does. Even with Clemson 10 minutes from athens.and a hell of alot more to deal with instate
Posted on 12/20/16 at 5:15 pm to Kaizen
Texas ought to contend for a national championship practically every year. It's astonishing to me that they can have losing seasons, being the biggest public university in a football crazy state. To me, the damning fact is that there are more starting quarterbacks in the NFL from Texas than any other state, but none of them went to UT. I get Drew Brees is short, but how do you miss on RGIII, Andrew Luck, Matt Stafford?

Your points fricking suck. Texas has 15 million more people than Georgia and yet we have have the following states that border us to recruit:
Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee that house 4 of the last 5 different national champions. Teams like Bama, AU, Clemson, UF, FSU, and UT.
Texas has Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. LSU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, and Arkansas don't really compare.
