So Chuckie is pinning his head coaching career on a true freshman QB playing behind a craptastic O line. What could possibly go wrong?
Plus, Texas' O line is getting better. A&M's? Not so much. I know you have a lot of faith in the running backs coach you hired to run your OL, but c'mon.

A blast from the past...Locksley's signing day interview. The texags OR board read it and said "We hope you like redshirting and then being asked to move to wr, kid."quote:Charlie knew this kid would never play qb at Texas. Kid was sold a pack of lies by the Texas staff from Day 1 onward.
"The plan that the Texas staff had for me going into and after signing day, they really wanted me to get acclimated fast to the system and really have a hot chance of being the guy Day 1," Locksley said.
"The quarterback is a position that they're struggling at right now, and they need a guy to come bring the fire and be a leader and bring that offense back to where it was, so that opportunity and the support and the love that they showed me really helped with the commitment."quote:#developerStrong!
Locksley said he plans to get on the field next year.
"Absolutely. That's part of the coaches' plans for me. They want me to get equipped to the system and the scheme and being a leader and looking to be that guy for this year and this fall at the University of Texas, so I'm basically going down there with my head down, my mouth shut and basically just trying to learn to be a quarterback at that level."
Back to digging on Chuck when 2 QBs quit on your side?
Who lied to who?
I absolutely love the fact that you're here defending Charlie ****ing Strong's e-honor. As soon as he struggles again this year, which he will, you're going to be incensed. You'll act like you aren't here though.
And who cares? They're gone. We're going to be fine. Texas had a player tweet about transferring TO A&M last year DURING a ****ing game.
quote:
Man talk about deflection, where did I ever talk about the competency of the Texas OL, they are garbage. All I was saying, and basically reiterating what has been said on this site and amongst friends that are Aggies, that the A&M OL has regressed each year under Sumlin. Maybe it was the piss poor coaching, I have no idea, what I do know is that it has gotten worse, for whatever reason. Honestly, it is really not up for debate.
But please tell me how bad Texas OL is, that I already agree with you on, because that is a lot of fun.

Show me where he was accused and testified over it.?
quote:I think you missed the point. Kai Locksley was a receiver. He played receiver in high school, he played receiver in the Under Armour game, and his father is a receivers coach. At no point did any other college consider him a viable option at QB. When discussing the 2015 recruiting class many Aggies, being far more intelligent than Longhorns, pointed out that the Longhorns' biggest weakness was quarterback, and the 2015 class failed to address that in any way. Longhorn recruiting sites were having none of it, however, and were beating their ****s raw to the idea of 'stealing' him away from FSU. Here is a link to BON rating your QB crop for that year a B despite not actually signing a scholarship QB. Here is another article discussing the "dual threat QB." Fast forward 16 months and the dude is playing WR, just like we all knew he would, and Texas struggled through another season of aimless QB play.quote:So your keen football acumen says we should start everybody we recruit? That's how Sumlin tried to run his QBs last year and you see how that turned out. At Texas you must earn the spot. Kai hasn't done that. That doesn't make Strong a liar.

Separate issues.

A bit more information on the situation of Texas 2016 signee Erick Fowler.
As most of you all read on Wednesday night, Fowler, the five-star linebacker out of Manor, had good news to report.
"I got them back," Fowler said of his SAT scores. "They called me with good news, saying I did a lot better," Fowler said. "I have to bring my official transcript up there tomorrow. They'll let me know for sure then, but they said I did really well on the test."
We haven't had a chance to follow up with Fowler to find out how his meeting went on Thursday, or if it happened, but I was told by a source on Thursday that those in the Texas program do expect Fowler to gain eligibility.
Obviously, they need to see his transcript and get it approved by the NCAA Clearinghouse before anything is official, but if the numbers line up the way people are thinking, Fowler should get in. From what I was told, Fowler is doing some summer school work, but that's more as a precaution. Basically, to play it as safe as they can, Fowler is taking at least one summer school course if it turns out it's not necessary. (Suchomel)

it is interesting watching horn fans ardent defense of chuck.
very interesting.
quote:You are right. Which leaves two choices given that the question was, "Who called plays in the bowl game versus Arkansas?" And his "I don't know" response...
Furthermore, you don't know that he lied under oath.
quote:From Sports Illustrated on the Louiville case:
UL booster claims his wife had an affair with Charlie Strong.
A few weeks later, Charlie was served with divorce papers from his wife.
These are undeniable facts.
Given these undeniable facts, you'd have to be delusional to think Charlie wasn't having an affair with that woman.
quote:Rocco Wrong
Jonathan Blue, chairman of a private equity firm and member of the University of Louisville Board of Trustees, believes that Strong is a "critical witness" in Blue's litigation against his estranged wife, Tracy, over custody of their two teenage daughters. Strong, in Jonathan Blue's estimation, possesses knowledge that would reveal that Tracy Blue acted in ways "inconsistent with being a role model and responsible caretaker" for their children.

Furthermore, you don't know that he lied under oath.
1. He is extraordinarily incompetent.
or
2. He is lying under oath.
Those are the only two options. Which would you prefer he be?
quote:Hilarious.
Dumb is in (rv) and dumber is being played by hayden's understudy longwhorn dub. Along with steveo the trifecta is complete. Carry on ladies.
quote:
I gave up on Charlie the first season when he ran off all his OLinemen. It takes too long to build an OLine. I'll rejoice when he leaves, but I'm realistic enough to know that the powers that be in Austin will probably let him stay throughout his contract. Due to enforced lack of interest, I don't know if he has six years or five. Mackovic got six, and he was terrible.
quote:So, now that you've been shown the truth but persist in speaking an untruth, you declare yourself a liar. Bold strategy.
The story about Charlie and the booster's wife was reported nationwide. SI, Espn, Fox, Cbs, and all the other major sports media reported on it.
Ditto for the cluster**** he made of the Wickline case.

Charlie Strong Accused of Affair With Top Louisville Donor's Wife
quote:The Sporting News:
Jonathan Blue has petitioned a Kentucky judge to order Strong to turn over his cell phone, text and travel records from 2012 to present, and to compel Strong to produce clothing, jewelry and other gifts allegedly bought by Tracy Blue for Strong.
quote:
...for the purposes of this column, Texas football coach Charlie Strong "allegedly" had an affair with the wife of a prominent Louisville booster while coaching there. I recognize this caveat feels ridiculous given it defies explanation why this booster otherwise would seek to depose Strong in custody proceedings. One seeks phone records and text messages and give-backs of expensive jewelry because he believes he had a Coach Side Piece situation on his hands.
quote:walked off on tamu and in to UH? Yeah, no one cared.
Uh here's a fact,
Two guys quit playing for Sumlin and would rather walk off the team than be the starting quarterback.
Now I'm just guessing on this one but I think Aggies are the only ones that think no one noticed.
All that affair stuff just lives in college station.

I'm pretty sure the story about Charlie Strong and Tracy Blue was nationwide news reported coast to coast. But keep deflecting and denying it if you like.
