I don't know how it's possible for any true Longhorn fan to bitch about Barnes after this season.  He did an amazing job with those kids.  Everybody bought in.  2014-15 could be special!I have 

I have not said one negative thing about Barnes this year. Matter a fact on my show I have praised him a lot.

We used to have several players on the Rivals top 250 etc while Mack was here. It got us nowhere because they weren't developed worth a damn. I'm willing to give Strong at least a couple of years to get his system established and see what the team looks like.

If you ask me, our recruiting class this year is shaping up to be much better than it has in at least the last two seasons.

That isn't true at all. When Texas struggled at the end of the year you made several negative posts on Twitter about firing him.

bad idea. the time to freak out is NOW.

giving a coach who has been on the job 4 months time to flesh out a class that won't sign for another 9 months isn't the way a real fan handles things.

That's why "real fans" really don't make very good fans.

I wonder if Louisville's three NFL 1st Round draft picks; Pryor, Smith and Bridgewater were in the prestigious Rivals 250 back in 2010?

bridgewater was...as was a guy named gerod holliman, another louisville recruit. 

bridgewater was a pretty highly recruited guy.

100% wrong. Now the previous year yes.

So Lukus, how do yu see this year's recruiting class shaping up thus far?

Bridgewater was a 5* before he committed to Louisville then became a 4*

Your incessant whining and bitching and crying almost makes me long for OB. The solution is to not read.

 I believe you have something going on here.

Your incessant whinning and bitching and crying about my post makes me long for when I was in high school dealing with 15 yr old girls.

I like MBHORNSFAN and I understand his frustration. .. I just choose to dream daffodils and lollipops for the future of the Longhorns after the last 4 years to keep my sanity. ...

Your response resembles that of a 15 year old girl... give it a rest

His frustration with what exactly???  

Is he frustrated with the conference that UT is in?  Is he blaming DeLoss or also blaming Patterson? Is he frustrated with Texas football on the field?  If so, maybe he can wait till the fall and see what Strong puts out as a product.  

Is he frustrated with Strong's recruiting?  If so, why doesn't he wait till next February and see where the @#$@ we end up since Mack gave UT such a nice NFL draft present.

Bitching for the sake of bitching is tiresome.  I went back through some of his latest posts.  No where do you ever say "good get" for Z Gentry or Myles Turner.  You complain about Gentry possibly being the only QB recruit and your last post about Myles was "yeah I hope we get him but my sources say we're not".  That's the problem from my perspective.  Absolutely no credit being given to the staffs when something good happens but plenty of crap being shoveled when you're unhappy.

I've come to the conclusion the best thing is to just ignore him and not respond. That will be my approach from now on.

This has run it's course and then some. Let it go.
