    You forgot to put "Lose to ranked SEC teams and finish behind LSU and Alabama every year" in there, little brother.

    Snoop in Waco?> hahahaha. I thought those Bears were supposed to be high and mighty religious types. Didn't Snoop produce a bunch of p*rn movies, get implicated in a murder, and basically rap about everything non-Christian one can rap about over his lengthy career? Yeah, great fit.

    I did, that was his last tweet. I'm not seeing the negative in his tweet.

    He says that for all his offers. #boomersooner

    Just means we are one of many schools who just offered him a scholarship. It's not bad but not that great either. Kid just brags about how wanted he is. That's why his profile says how many offers he's gotten even though he's just a junior.

    I get all of that. But would you rather he hates UT? I'm glad Charlie Strong is going after him and I'm glad he's listening. Does everything really need some kind of negative spin?

    Your post made it seem like a likely commitment bc of the Hookem status. It's just worth noting the full context of the tweet. Not saying it's bad but the fact he says that about everyone is certainly relevant. And yes, it is better than him hating the school but that's not exactly an earth shattering revelation.

    Not trying to be thread nazi with context and sources. We should just at the least hold this forum to the same standards as the GARM.

    interesting tweet from Demetrius Knox (4 star offensive guard) yesterday to Otaro Alaka who retweeted it. Knox has been committed to OSU (Ohio) since May. Is this saying he is now considering UT?

    Have you checked the flight tracker?

    Is there a point to your post? If there is a point I apologize for missing it but if your being a smart ass I'll just ignore it.

    This was from Jameis Winston's post-MNC interview. Don't think it's related to Texas. I think Alaka may even be switching to A&M.

    Mack possibly hinting that he wants to coach again? You can take it either way.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Love College Football. Not interested in coaching in the NFL. Love watching it &amp; pulling for our ex-players.

    I've always thought he would coach again. No one should end their career like that.

    Yep you nailed it. I went back and listened to the interview and it was word for word.

    That's for you to decide. I'm a UT fan...but I don't think that every use of the word "strong" is now UT related just like I don't think every flight from Alabama to Texas was Nick Saban taking the head coaching job.

    Great that you are a UT fan but no need to be a prick as well. I simply showed the tweet and asked the question. I never followed flight tracker and I never thought Saban was coming to UT. Thanks to vj23k for pointing out the Jameis Winston interview.
