'12 TX LB Dalton Santos (Texas Commit)

[gobigorange11]

It's always interesting this time of year when people that don't really follow recruiting start to pop up in the forum

it is like clockwork every year a week and a half before nsd. i'm waiting for someone to bump the DGB thread and ask if Dooley has an ace up his sleeve.

Or ask why we didn't try to recruit him.

Or say Rivals shows us as Medium interest.

 

[DjCrenshaw]

Or they get on here and say why are people caring when it gets closer to NSD?

 

[Oskie Volum]

Why are you bring up Maryland? Did they offer Santos to? Jeez now the acc too? When will it end...

Hey doc...It's a joke from the tosh.o show. Funny show but sure u have better things to watch or do in general...

 

[ItsAllVols]

I believe he has a case right now...but in time will turn it into a 6pk

 

[TennTom]

Yeah with Lattimore. Even without him they were pretty darn good without Garcia this year.

And yeah, UGA is overrated, but they'd still handle most of the Big 12 with relative ease I think.

Oklahoma St. and Colorado fans disagree.

 

[VolOnthePlains]

I'm actually going to be in Austin tomorrow. Think I'll swing by Memorial. Take a leak.

 

[Gary10ec1]

Let's see. Nope no news here just a bunch of simmering speculation. Come on DS end this and be ALL VOL!

Dress up as a Texas fan and act like a moron. Create a scene.

Careful! Escape goat will think you're a closet Arky fan!

Wah! You still crying over that?

During the regular season & the post season, the Big 12 was the 2nd best conference. In fact, for much of the regular season, the computers had the Big 12 as the best conference. Am I saying the elite of the Big 12 is better this past season than the elite of the SEC? Of course not.

Also, with WVU and TCU coming in for A&M and Mizzou, the Big 12 has become more difficult while the SEC has become easier. A&M and Mizzou are great additions for the SEC relative to eyeballs watching TVs and better TV contracts but purely in football terms, the Big 12 came out of realignment much better.

This whole conference issue is what has confused the aggies relative to recruiting. They think recruits will be more excited about them because they are in the SEC. Conference affiliation means more to them, and probably to you guys, than it does to Texas. Kids from the lonestar state grow up wanting to be a Longhorn and it has nothing to do with conference affiliation. They feel that being a Longhorn is special.

not sure if serious. If so, the arrogance borders on retardation.

 

[Escape Goat]

And I was talking about the player too and agreeing that he wasn't gonna be as good as Santos.:hi:

I know you weren't commenting on my post..never mind..misunderstanding..it's all good.:thumbsup:

:thumbsup:

You should expect this type of language from a Texas fan. Remember, "everything is bigger in Texas."

Those people live and die by that motto.

Ha! As a matter of fact, as I'm typing this, the DGB thread is at or near the top of the board.

You need to watch Full Metal Jacket to get the real Texas motto.

Bigger douches, for certain.

The post season is a poor measure. Typically SEC teams play "up". An SEC team at 7-5 playing someone else at 10-2.... stuff like that.

Also, with WVU and TCU coming in for A&M and Mizzou, the Big 12 has become more difficult while the SEC has become easier.

A&M is better than TCU on a consistent basis. WVU has played in a VERY watered down conference so it is difficult to tell if they are better than either.

A&M and Mizzou are great additions for the SEC relative to eyeballs watching TVs and better TV contracts but purely in football terms, the Big 12 came out of realignment much better.

Very doubtful. We'll see. Being in the SEC is already helping A&M's recruiting. Mizzou should benefit some plus HSFB in Mo is getting better.

This whole conference issue is what has confused the aggies relative to recruiting. ... Kids from the lonestar state grow up wanting to be a Longhorn and it has nothing to do with conference affiliation. They feel that being a Longhorn is special.

This much is true. Texas is going to get... and as long as Brown is there, waste... their pick of Texas recruits.

But A) your coaches don't always select the right guys and B) even when they do you can't sign them all. There will ALWAYS be great players and even better players after you all are done. Texas likely won't feel it much directly. Where you will feel it is who those other recruits choose after you don't sign them. It will in all likelihood hurt your competition some. Your conference will probably become weaker overall. A&M and Mizzou won't be the only beneficiaries either. More SEC TV and coverage in Texas helps Arkansas and LSU particularly.

You will get players. The same cannot be said for TTU, Baylor, and the Big12 N teams that depend on Texas for their players.

Including the lies

 

[wuwh_08]

The reason for the downfall of the Big 12 was the arrogance of fans like you. Your comment in and of itself is arrogant and baseless.

My bad, guess my iPad scrolled and I hit the wrong quote.

Don't believe the hype. This is from Phil Steele.
Even thought the SEC regularly plays the tough New Years Day and later games and the Big 12 is often playing the Wac, Swac, or Mac, the above numberst tell it all.
SEC #1 with an overall record of 48-31 last decade
Big 12 #5 with an overall losing record
Numbers don't lie.
