I did a double take when they said "the pride of Victoria,TX", and apparently nobody but Houston Baptist offered
Also, notice the short leash Mac Jones had when there was a viable option behind him. BB didn't wait for poor QB play to cost the team a game…
He wound up at Western Kentucky.MarylandAG said:

Was coming here to post the same thing.
How did he not get picked up by any Texas Team besides Houston Baptist.

After 4 years at HBU.

Dude was probably well under the radar playing in Victoria. Nobody purposely recruits Victoria or South Texas from the big schools, the further you go south of I-10 across the state the the more the D-1 talent pool turns into a dried up puddle.
Do not post opposing views or you too, like me, will become a shadow of your former self.
Yeah. Its like El Campo doesn't existShadow of CuervoAg said:

Zero star recruit. I don't see any difference between Zappe and Mac Jones, and I'm a fan of Mac.
El Campo isn't South Texas - that's more a burb of H-town than South Texas and is part of the old lower Colorado river rice belt and the historical demographics that were forced to live there to work the land.

Bailey Zappe is my extended cousin - Eric Zappe here. My dad Ron Zappe was class '65 and was the last to steal Bevo. He eventually went on to start Zapp's Potato Chips…

El Campo is 30 minutes closer to Victoria than Houston.
Where does South Texas start? Edna?

Every thread has some comment like this
Generally the following …..

And yes Jackson county (Edna) is on the northern boundary of what is generally considered South Texas.

For those not in the know,
Zappe played four years at HBU in Houston. His OC got hired at Western Kentucky, and Zappe followed him there. Zappe lit up the Southland Conference for four years, and then broke Joe Burrow's records for passing yards and TDs in a season at WKU.
I believe a few of his stud receivers at HBU also transferred to WKU for that season.

Yep, WKU hired the OC (who I believe is now with Texas Tech) and then basically portal'd over the entire passing attack.
Making a WAG this player was considered not big enough to play QB at a P5 football program
South Texas doesn't start until you get west of 37 at least, and even then the folks from south Texas will tell you that wherever you are talking about isn't really south Texas either.cevans_40 said:Shadow of CuervoAg said:

El Campo is the gulf coast, as somebody above said, it's rice country. Definitely not a suburb of Houston by any definition.
Just past the south side of Victoria.

Oh cool. I love Zapp's, and have read articles & watched an interview w/ Ron Zappe, and wondered if Bailey was any relation.MosesHallDeadPot94 said:

I went to an HBU game a couple years ago because the campus is nearby and I had no other games I cared about that day. Would not have guessed I would be seeing a future Patriots QB on that campus
Zapp's is catchier/easier to pronounce.NoahAg said:That is awesome. Why did he drop the 'e?'MosesHallDeadPot94 said:

Oh no. Looks like we have a non-Ricebird Fan in this thread.
