A Twitter journey through Kyler Murray's re-commitment
In the spirit of collecting it all into one place for your reading pleasure, here are the most enjoyable celebrations, meltdowns and everything in between.
First, we'll start with a collection of misplaced confidence:
Can you imagine the nerves for the UT staff? 12 days away from one of the biggest recruiting wins in the history of this state? Game-changer

Kyler Murray gonna be a Horn. And he's bringing friends with him......uh oh
— ManniFresh (@Mannifresh25) January 30, 2015
Could Kyler Murray decommit tomorrow? ?? ??
— THE NEXT DYNASTY (@macktotexas) January 30, 2015
3 out of 8 tomorrow ?

I honestly don't care what happened with Sumlin and Murray tonight. As long as Strong is still on for the in home tomorrow, I'm good to go.

Then, the tweet itself:
Following my heart... #GigEm

Initial reactions:
Kyler Football? Texas A&M lands No. 1 QB in Class of 2015, Kyler Murray. Murray won all 42 games he started in HS & 3 straight state titles.

Rough week for Texas football. Horns lost long-time QB commit Zach Gentry to Michigan & now come up empty chasing QB Kyler Murray vs A&M.
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) January 30, 2015
Much like Kyler Murray flip likely would have shifted recruiting landscape in Lone Star State, surely this will give #Aggies momentum again.

Texas offered Kyler Murray the keys to the kingdom and he's still coming to A&M. But that's none of my business. pic.twitter.com/P45Qw2ULsX

Stayed true, never switched sides

.“@TimWhatley_DDS: Coach what in the hell happened?” Turns out that dirty old Sumblin showed up at Kyler Murpheys house w a cookie cake

Celebration:

“@TheKylerMurray: Following my heart... #GigEm” <--welcome home ??
— SweetJonesJr (@RickySealsJones) January 30, 2015
In other news UT still sucks ????
— Jermaine Eluemunor (@TheMainShow_) January 30, 2015
Rationalizing:
The fact that Kyler Murray had Ags worried, even a little bit, is a good omen for the future of Texas recruiting. Dude is an A&M legacy.
— DJ Bentley (@SuperBentley) January 30, 2015
On to the next one for Texas. Always a long shot with Kyler Murray anyway. Florida State QB commit Kai Locksley is the next target.
— Chris Hummer (@chris_hummer) January 30, 2015
I guess Kyler Murray wants to play for a school that will only compete at the bottom of the SEC every year. Good luck and have fun, buddy!
— Trevor Hurt (@THurt512) January 30, 2015
.@BruceFeldmanCFB wrong. Biggest recruiting battle was Malik Jefferson. Now Mack. Murray was the longest of shots.
— Adam (@marbrandadam) January 30, 2015
Malik/Lampkin help with Mack. Murray helps with Lodge. That's about it when it comes to the "domino effect".
— TexasStrong (@thelonghorns12) January 30, 2015
(Along with 85-percent Twitter silence out of one particular corner of the Longhorn net-sphere.)
Larry Pryor stating the obvious:

Goodnight & Gig'Em. ??

Jay Arnold signing off on a certain overwrought Rounders reference:
I've always found Oreos to make great poker chips.

And, for fun:
Cause he drunk? RT @BR_CFB: Why 5-star QB Kyler Murray should flip from Texas A&M to Texas. http://t.co/0yVEGzM1MB pic.twitter.com/2KBonesS1c
