Well, we have the Asset, the Big Cigar, and now the Friend of Bevo! With this triumvirate, we should get some damn good info! Good job McPhaul! Hook'em!!!

 

[Lord Vader]

I imagine "Friend of Bevo" to be this larger than life older guy who drinks scotch. I dont know why

 

[camross]

Great read. Let's hope it happens

 

[randoke]

The dates I'm hearing are between the 7th & 16th and it has yet to be decided?

thanks mcphaul. doesn't the dead period for recruiting start on the 15th? i'd hope the new guy is in place by then but time's running short.

 

[Handy Man]

Good read McPhaul. Ignore the gripers. I was hoping we wouldn't have too many of those on this site. They are the reason I left OB.

Glenn,
I was all ears when reading his suggestion. I guess we now see the man knows what he talking about and I will heed advice in the next report.

To be honest, I enjoyed it and am with zizzy...I thought it gave the impression you were visiting with an older Texas multi-millionaire in his 70's who's known you since you were a kid...which I imagine is pretty close to the truth.

Very impressive report. Don't be put off by the critiques of your style of the report. I like it. It seems more "personal". If this is the way this guy talks, this is what I what to hear. Keep on keeping on.

I'm hoping what he says comes to fruition.

But, I have to be frank, you and I differ on aggy. I, personally, don't care if we ever play them again. I don't like what they did, I don't like their duplicity and lies and I particularly don't like their weird and neurotic culture. I think there are better teams to play on Thanksgiving - like Notre Dame or Ohio State. And don't pooh pooh these teams off as there are compelling reasons for them to adjust their schedules to play us. This would be another discussion, however. Also, as far as aggy, you should know that my daughter graduated from there and their vet school as well. And she married an Aggie (notice the difference in spelling) vet. But, unfortunately and IMO, the aggys have hijacked that school and the real Aggies are now in the minority.

You just described Armadillo Slim.

 

[orangeflow]

One of the best well thought out post I have read

 

[Topstarr]

I see we are on our way to greatness and I BELIEVE in Steve Patterson...........HOOK' EM

Nice report Darrell my man

 

[pringlelake]

I had this image of Darrell standing in his bathroom looking in the mirror as he wrote that piece.

Funny but true. Sometimes you just have to call it like you see it.

I have no interest in playing A&M again at all as well (a poster above mentioned it, as well as the poll on this site!) The state of Texas doesn't need that game. People who want it are going on emotion and not logic.

Anywho

I'm headed to HEB to buy a crap ton of popcorn in preparation for stuff that's about to go down. /popcorn gif

 

[Coach840]

Thanks for the article!

 

[SlickStreet]

fun and enjoyable stuff to read. Like a few others, at least a part of me couldn't care less if we play a&m again. Something about making their own bed......And I agree that it's far more beneficial for them to play the game than us.

Having said that, there is a part of me (a traditionalist) that would like to see it again. I'd like us to be a little more rebuilt if we do, though. They've had a couple years of SEC-style recruiting while we've begun plummeting in that arena.

 

[Dude65]

Thanks!

Sii?

 

[Big Tex]

That was a must read for any Longhorn. Thanks. I think we should get back to playing the Aggies again too. College football is about rivalries. Games that stir up hate and emotion. We only have 1 rival left, OU. There are no games against other Big 12 teams that excite the country enough to turn on the tv and watch. Last weekend was sad for me. Looking up and seeing all those state or intersectional rivalries that have been around for so long. We need to play them again, and on Thanksgiving weekend.

 

[Dude65]

I only know of one guy who talks like that when it comes to in the know people. Should be fairly easy to figure out who " Friend of Bevo " is. Thanks for your diligent and hard work Darryl. HOOKEM!

 

[JohnGradyCole]

Good stuff man, thanks.

 

[Santa Gertrudis]

Good read, thanks McPhaul. I would also like your thoughts on the timing of Mack's resignation. I didn't see that question asked.
Also, anyone know when the dead period starts and ends? Thanks

Leave him alone. I happen to know his source, and when you interview Foghorn Leghorn it just wouldn't be the same without a few "sons" and a few "I said I say there boy"s.

zzzizzzy- That is some funny $hit. "I say, I say Boy! Come here Boy!"
