Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[Big Daddy Cane]

Just got through listening to an interview with Malik on local radio (dfw)

He spoke eloquently and represented himself and the University well as he usually does, but 2 things stood out to me. 

1. He said how with Herman, everybody knew what to expect from the other team and how no team did anything that they weren't expecting. Also that the discipline and people that were brought in knew how to behave and meet expectations on and off the field. He tried to explain that it wasn't an issue under the previous staff, but how it was different under Herman.

2. He said that when he was moved to the inside he wasn't given the fundamentals to make the switch successfully. He said he basically went on instinct his first 2 years. He praised Orlando's knowledge of the position and showing him the nuances of the position as well as the proper tecniques.

I thought it was a very telling interview on what may have contributed to CS not being successful in Austin and hopefully what will make Herman a success.

I took the survey. The seats in that picture are out of reach for most common folk.

Dallas and Seattle talking Earl Thomas to the Cowboys for a 2nd round pick (50).  Seattle apparently has agreed, but Dallas is wanting to see if they can work out an extension with Earl before consummating the trade.  Earl would be the first true star in the secondary that the Cowboys have had since Darren Woodson.  I hope Earl is coming home.  Hook em!

I don't get the big canyons on either side of the seating. The players come out of the middle, so what's it there for? Just big dumb wall space. Enclose the thing already. There are ways to keep it low and looking good. My 2 cents.

Opponents teams have to come from somewhere and how are you going to get Bevo in?

I think we should air lift him in every game before kick off. Better than the blue angels!

Anyone hear any news on how AJ1 is doing? More concerned about his health than playing career. Nothing but true blessings for him. #AJ1 #HookEM

I had a conversation today with a buddy about our LBs and he brought up missing Erick Fowler this upcoming season. Neither of us knew where he ended up. Does anyone know?

NCAA finally figured out how to fix their #1 issue. Really? This is what they spend their time on with all the warts that institution has?? Smh... Can't wait to see the 1st team to lose a game because their knees were exposed....

Had a short exchange with Fort Worth Southwest 3* WR Nnamdi Adim-Madumere who is picking up interest from a lot of schools.  Currently holds offers from Alabama, Texas A&M, Baylor Texas Tech, Missouri and a handful of other schools.

Does not hold an offer from Texas but said Texas is a school he is interested in (and Mehringer is in communication with him).  

Adim-Madumere told me he isn't looking to commit anytime soon and wants to enjoy the process and weigh all of his options down the road.
