darell1976 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Got my tickets for the Potato Bowl game. A lot of seats were gone when I was on the Ticketmaster site, looks to be a great crowd especially if we enter the game at 2-0. 1 Quote
Hambone Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Sounds like Isaiah Secrest will not be joining the team, but that should be the only Freshman not coming in. Quote

Hambone Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Also, it looks like Connor Bolduc is back on the roster. Should help special teams, assuming he beats out the other two. Quote

I never said he was remotely all-Big Sky or even close. I stand by that. Quote
Hambone Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Also looks like a couple kids that would have been RS Freshmen are gone - Kemuel Denny and Brock Shaide. Can't remember if those were known or not. Quote

UND-1 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Shaide could be a school start walk-on, possibly. Denny wanted to transfer to a juco. Not sure where, though. Quote

Would love it if the information is wrong.... I heard it as well , I just refuse to post credible information on this site anymore. Too many people jump down your throat for it, just not worth it anymore. Quote

I get the point but let's get real. 1 Quote

I get the point but let's get real. Maybe this coach should have applied for the Army coaching job? Or VMI? The kind of athletes Texas will recruit and sign are athletes who usually are holding multiple scholarship offers in their hands. If you go all boot camp like this, you risk losing athletes to rival schools. And in FBS, if you don't win, at some point you will be fired. Having a bunch of 4.0 GPA's or community service work will not prevent that from happening. 1 Quote
