Texas Aggie Football

For those interested, I am going to watch Rex play this Friday vs. Irving MacArthur High School. His high school, Plano Senior High, comes into the season state ranked at #2 in class 5A (Texas' largest classification). I'll come back with a report for yall if you're interested.

Is TAMU still actively pursuing him, even though they have largely filled their recruit board? Does anyone know how LSU is regarding him? If a player this good wants to commit you make room for him. Right now I think he's a huge aTm lean. That's just what it's like these days for LSU though, they can literally pick which 5* back they want most and push the other aside. I've heard both C-Michael and Richardson have "noncommitable" offers right now. I hope you're right on the heavy A&M lean though. I feel the same. It would be a huge blow losing him especially after losing Cody Green who was virtually a lock to A&M for over a year.

Is TAMU still actively pursuing him, even though they have largely filled their recruit board? Does anyone know how LSU is regarding him? Chances are looking good that he is A&M bound. He came out publicly and announced he will be making his decision between A&M and L$U by August 29th, his first game. He said he wanted to wait for the new rivals rankings to come out before he committed. Hopefully, if he committed to us, it will bring us added pub since he is now a 5*. People are believing it's A&M b/c he has turned down multiple opportunities in the past month to go visit and workout with LSU. In fact, it is rumored that current LSU 5* QB commit Russell Shepard offered to take C-Mike to Baton Rouge and he turned it down. On top of all that, it's rumored that CM has a "noncommitable" offer right now. Basically, even if he wanted to commit to LSU, he couldn't. More reasons why people are saying he's going to A&M is because LSU is actively recruiting Trent Richardson, 5* RB from Fla. Not to mention the fact that maybe the best back in the country for next years class, Lache Seastrunk from Temple, TX, seems to be an LSU lock. I believe he is originally from Louisianna. All those things I stated could hurt LSU in C-Mike's courtship. Anyways, it looks good for A&M as of right now. It also bodes well for us that he has committed to A&M twice in the past year.

Just FYI, Michael got his 5* status today and moved up to #23 in the country.

Wasn't last year "the team"...and the year before that...and the year befo...? Well, you get the picture. That's just from what Tech fans say. It's always going to be their year according to them. It's just never been their year. Well, this is truly their year. If it doesn't happen this year, IT NEVER WILL.

Coming from an alum of a school from the Southwest Conference, let me tell you a little history on Texas Tech... Since 1955, they haven't won an outright conference championship. The last outright conference title they won came that year (1955) when they won the "Border Conference". They shared just two SWC championships. They never won an outright conference title in the SWC. In order for me, or anyone, to ever choose them to achieve greatness, they will actually have to show it for once. With that said, I don't think they will do it this year. And if they can't win the conference this year, they never will. This is by far the best team they have ever fielded. Unfortunately for them, they have OU IN Norman. If they somehow don't find a way to choke it off before then, they will in this game.

Isn't Oku coming to that game? A rocking Memorial will do wonders in the recruitment of him. BIG game! IMO this is a huge game for Bo especially. The 'skers don't have to win but they must have a good showing.

I enjoy the contributions of you and Cy. Thanks bigredfan!

Axl, Please, I'm a bigger Husker fan than probably 99% of the fanbase. I have more connections to NU than most of yall do. Heck, my mom cheered at Nebraska during the Johnny Rodgers era and went to all sorts of functions at Dr. Tom's house whom yall circle jerk over. It would be one thing if I followed Nebraska because they were so good when I was growing up. I followed them because I was born wearing Red in all my baby pictures and spent every Christmas of my life in Nebraska. I ultimately chose A&M over a full-ride to NU because it's simply a better school. I don't believe that should make me less of a fan because of that. That was the toughest decision of my life. I'm not some fair weather fan with no connections to the university like so many Longhorn fans are here in Texas. They just like them because they are good.

You've said the word "us" when referring to the Aggies and "we" when referring to the Huskers. What exactly are you? I'm thinking in the world of college football, you need to pick an allegiance. Haha, sorry bout that, I need a signature explaining my reason for being here... I'm a Husker fan first and foremost. That's what I grew up on and both parents went to NU. All of my family is from Nebraska. Despite my moniker, I'm probably one of the biggest Nebraska fans you've ever met. I ended up choosing A&M to go to school because it was a better choice for me at the time. So in conclusion, I am both a Husker and an Aggie.

Man I really want to see this guy in RED

Sherman inherited a team that played in a bowl game last year and beat Texas. For some kids that was the only game that mattered. I'm pretty sure Sherman hired Pelini at Green Bay if none of you are Green Bay fans like I am. They both started at the Bay in 2000. But as some have alluded to, I'd find it much easier to be a former NFL Head Coach who runs a school's football program in Texas than be someone who worked for him who runs a school's football program in a low-populous state. As far as commitments and winning, look at Wisconsin. Brand new no-name coach and terrible commitment records, they have only 1 more 4star than us with the same number of recruits. I'm fairly certain they have been beating ass in the Big Ten without their blue-chippers. Hell P.J. Hill was a 2star recruit an had a breakout freshman season. I wouldn't worry too much, Bo knows what he's doing. The big 11 is terrible that's probably why

Sherman inherited a team that played in a bowl game last year and beat Texas. For some kids that was the only game that mattered. Eh, believe it or not, the UT-A&M means very little down here in the recruiting world. It's whichever team has done the most lately and that has been Texas which is why they outrecruit us almost every year. UT dominates recruiting now like we did in our glory years of the 80's and 90's. Not to mention the fact that the two schools are VASTLY different. You either grow up a horn or an aggie here in Texas.

I'm just a little disappointed the Pelini hire didn't create a huge buzz in the recruiting at NU like I thought it would. Like yall have said, there are still a bunch of prospects left on the board and hopefully we can land them!
