Scatter Shooting the Longhorns
Here are some recent tidbits about our beloved team and as usual I am stealing them from multiple sources. Twitter, Orangbloods, BevoTalk, Austin American Statesman, Dallas Morning News, to name a few.
Per reports, Mack Brown will make his in home visit with DGB tomorrow. Coach Wyatt will be with him
UT has hired a company to monitor all UT social networking accounts. Seems they will need to all their personal information. Not sure if I like this or not.
A TCU blog recently asked what Big 12 team is the most hated and surprise, Texas finished first. An interesting comment: ”I hate Texas, but I feel Texas sees us like they saw Aggie, as a second tier rival. Maybe even third tier. I don’t want my primary hatred going towards a school that could care less that I hate them.”
^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^We May Have Found Our New TAM^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Texas is trying to avoid their first four game losing streak since Coach Barnes first four games in 1998. I will leave that for others to comment on, I am trying to think positive on the season.
Texas recruit Alex De La Torre’s father was just named head coach at Irving HS. Texas has no Irving recruits on the roster and this may open an avenue. Aaron De La Torre the previous defensive coach and recruiting coordinator at Denton Ryan… Will someone help me with what a recruiting coordinator does at a high school?
Yardbarker is up with an article saying the UT football class of 2012 is missing three things: An Offensive Lineman…A Tight End and another Wide Receiver…This was ten days after posting an article titled, “Texas Can Be Scary Good Next Year.”
Tonight: Iowa St. at Texas..8PM Longhorn Network and Mavericks television voice Mark Followill is doing the game.
Hook Em!

Sounds like a new found interest in George Orwell has popped up on campus! TCU has always wanted to be Texas, so there is a commonality between them and the Aggies…
A recruiting coordinator at a public school doesn’t sound like a bad idea – unless you live in Louisiana.
Nice job on the daily scoop!

We just added a tough game to the schedule..It was Texas that left TCU out when the Southwest Conference ended and they have not forgotten..
Kinda makes me smile when I think we should replace one whiner opponent on Turkey with another of the same cloth..TCU will also compete for the title and alas fall short..
Hook Em and hope to make this a regular feature..
