Wow!!  According to your analogy of Coach Strong's statement all but 2 coaches next year, those in the national championship game, will produce nothing more than mediocre seasons and their respective universities should look very closely at them to determine if they have the wrong leader in...

Welcome Todd...you will love this site.

As the post title suggests, I'm a very lucky recipient of his incredible and vast landscaping knowledge and the services provided by his amazing crew. Mark, has made two different trips to Austin to initially review my needs, offer his professional advice and vision and then again when we...

Welcome all you new OBers!! You will love this site. BTW...I'm a member of OB's too and spend nearly all my time here now. Good posters...good civil discussions.

I actually did give him credit for what he said FIRST that you said I conveniently left out: "Also, after saying recruits should stay if committed, he then says "if you......." I am not a Mack hater, never have been, and don't hate him now. I have always supported him until this last season...

I think there are a couple of troubling things in what Mack did. First, how many recruits actually attend a college despite the head coach? Is not the head coach a significant, if not the most significant factor, in a recruits decision making process. Sure, their position coach is important...

Sorry for your loss. Condolences and prayers sent. I had wonderful uncles and each loss was painful.

I would be interested...how many pops do I get?

Ok...tears running down my face. Thanks hornrush...I needed that.

I believe he acknowledged that many were less than thrilled with Strong's efforts to keep the 2014 class together but wanted to give kudos to his 2015 efforts. Not sure where the sunshine pumping was with his post. I've not read anything to suggest CS is tooting his on horn about anything...

Yep...3 years seems about right...to reach "greatness" level. I do think we will see much sooner our ability to win the battle in the trenches and start imposing our will more, just need to upgrade at a few skill positions to reach "greatness." If Heard lives up to expectations I think we are...

I'm in...don't need a room, live in Austin.

I would suspect in all the years of recruiting CS has done that this situation is not new to him. Therefore, whatever tactic he used, one would guess, was not a knee-jerk reaction but one that was based on history that would produce the results he wanted. Whether that result being the kid...

Sir, I saw your post about cold weather coming again around Super Bowl time. I'm in Austin (Lakeway to be exact) an so far our Sago Palms, of which we have many (potted and in-ground) have done fine so far without covering them. The coldest temps at our home so far this year have been around...

I hope for Porter's sake he did not investigate Meacham's offensive output at the end of the year for Houston. Scored 14 vs UCF, 13 vs Louisville, 17 vs Cincinnati and went scoreless in 3 out of 4 quarters against Vanderbilt in a 41-24 bowl loss while converting 1 of 17 3rd down attempts and a...

So he re-committed to TCU because of their high-octane offense and what they actually showed last year? I'm not sure that is a better choice than believing what your head coach is telling you to your face about the offense he is going to run and what it is going to look like. If he was going...

According to other sites, Strong & Chambers met with him this morning as did TCU. I think CS assigned coaches geographically to touch-base with recruits initially across the state to effectively get in front of as many recruits as they could. Chambers recruited the Dallas area while at...

No, Strong & Chambers.

I'm not suggesting we didn't want to keep...otherwise why would Strong & Chambers visit him this morning? I'm just wondering if there might have been something that went on during the meeting that gave Strong some concerns? It's not like he doesn't know how to recruit...especially when you...
