At the presser, Fulmer referred to some in the past who declined UT but might now be interested. It was arguably his most candid remark. My guess is that he had Patterson on the brain. Remember, Patterson publicly chided UT a few weeks ago for basically choosing flash over substance. And who can relate better to those remarks than Fulmer, a fellow good ole boy who surpassed expectations. Would you fault Fulmer if he sees a little of himself in Patterson?
Would Patterson leave TCU? Maybe. He cant win a natty there, because he cant recruit top ten classes. In spite of resounding success, he sits only at 28 in the composite recruiting rankings - and thats with BAY, TEX and TAM rebuilding. TCU simply does not have the facilities or name recognition to draw top recruits, meaning Patterson will need to leave if he wants a trophy. And Jimbo may have just given him added incentive. So, dont be surprised when two country boys join forces on the hill.
