#Longhorns #HookEm coach Charlie Strong declined to talk about the Du'Vonta Lampkin situation
 
#Longhorns coach Charlie Strong said Everett Golson did contact him. Texas topped his transfer list. Didn't work out because ND blocked him
 
Since Everett Golson didn't work out, #Longhorns #Hookem coach Charlie Strong thinks most transfer QBs have picked their schools by now
 
#Longhorns #HookEm coach Charlie Strong said LB Dalton Santos and CB Sheroid Evans are several weeks away from being healthy
 
#Longhorns #HookEm coach Charlie Strong said Desmond Jackson is doing better than Santos and Evans. Duke Thomas is back at 100%
 
Other interesting point is Evans. I thought for sure he might be done for the season. Evans being only a "few weeks away" certainly sounds more encouraging. 

 
That's all well and good, but folks really want to know,

Did Strong bring the tigers to Houston?

It really looks bad for ND. Everyone knows Strong is a straight shooter. What he says, you can make bank on. ND obviously likes to play with words.

Hook 'em, Charlie!

 
His comment on Jerrod Heard today sounded something like this (paraphrased):

"Heard is a guy that will go for 60 and on the next drive it could go for 60 the other way."

I think Tyrone Swoopes will start against ND unless something drastic changes.  Heard sounds like too much of a gamble right now with a statement like that.

Buckle up guys. 

 
I think Swoopes was always going to start the ND game barring something drastically changing.  What I'm more interested in is who is the QB by the OK game.  This will be the guy that will determine the season for us.

Or you could, instead of leaving out part of what he said, include what he said just before and just after the above quote and perhaps draw a different conclusion. 

Here is the full quote.

"You have to be ready. Heard is a guy that will go for 60 and on the next drive it could go for 60 the other way. Just be ready for it."

When you see the full quote, it is not unreasonable to conclude that he could be telling everyone that Heard will be playing a lot and maybe even starting.

And to follow up on my previous post, you didn't even mention what Strong had to say about Swoope's confidence. It wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement. 

These quotes are all over the other sites but not here for some reason.

Okay, I'll do your job for you  ;)

Talking about Heard, in addition to the above quotes, Strong said, "He has a lot of confidence. When you look at it, two state championships in high school. He has it. It's a great competition."

Talking about Swoopes, "The thing about Swoopes is he's just got to take care of the football. He's got to believe in himself. Take care of the football and believe in yourself, and feel like you can get it done. I just want to see confidence in Swoopes. When he goes out, that it's his offense and he can be counted on." 

In reference to the quote in my first post, it's kinda like another poster (actually a mod) said on another site, "We're all reading the tea leaves right now, but when he (i.e., Strong) tells you what to be ready for this season...it is hard to ignore."  

 
To be successful at anything, you must be confident. Anything else is going through the motions.

Hook 'em!
