Would you want to leave behind this young group of DTs so you could hang out at the Dixie Chicken?

I will never understand why aggy sites/fans get so cocky about 50/50 situations like this and recruiting. If a recruit is torn between another team and them they think "he's a lock" for them. Its hilarious but it has to be demoralizing to continue to be disappointed like that.
I feel like UT sites/fans are pretty understanding that most situations are fluid, nothing is a guarantee, and not everybody thinks about Texas like we do.

I think you are talking about Vic Jacobs. He was in Austin for a year or two. I remember him.Off topic but all of this Brick-talk reminded me of Nick the Brick who used to be a sports anchor on Austin TV (Channel 36 I think)
He used to throw a rubber or styrofoam brick at the camera at the close of his segment
Any else old enough to remember this guy?
I always thought he represented the zenith of local Austin news

Vic once did a pre-Arkansas Game broadcast from inside a meat packing plant
He was dressed up in full butcher gear -- including goggles and a white hard hat (which he affixed a Horn sticker to)
Was screaming into his microphone from directly above the pork grinder
Pigmeat was squirting out as he screamed "Texas is gonna grind the Piggies!"
You just dont get local sports broadcasts like that anymore
I wish it was youtubed so I could show y'all

Vic Jacobs moved to Denver and then LA I believe and continued as a sportscaster. He was on an ESPN 30/30 documentary I saw, was interviewed about a sports celeb they were reporting on. I'll always remember him saying " you want the brick? You want the brick" prior to gunning it at the camera. I think he died a few years ago?

Mid-80s somewhere
One time I had to go to the Post Office to pick up a package (birthday gift from my sister who was living in Portugal at the time). As I was leaving with the box under my arm, there was Vic Jacobs headed in. I yelled at him and he came over for a nice chat in the parking lot of the post office. I remember we both were sad to see the total brickhouse weathergirl at his station -- Lincola Sullivan - leave for home.
Then he became obsessed with knowing what was in my birthday box. He was very animated. So I opened it right there on the trunk of my Volvo. It was a coffee mug with a thousand little green birds on it, except for one bird which was wearing a sombrero, a poncho and a sarcastic smile. The mug read "Juan In A Million." Well, Vic the Brick thought this was the funniest thing he had heard. He doubled over, finally heading in the post office with his arms raised screaming "Juan in a Million! Juan in a Million!"
Yes, I have lived a pretty charmed life.
Yep. But that makes me old enough to forget him, too. Hmmmm, I don't seem to recall....Off topic but all of this Brick-talk reminded me of Nick the Brick who used to be a sports anchor on Austin TV (Channel 36 I think)
