After perusing this board, THAT was the quote this dude chose as the most irrational?

He clearly doesn't realize the Green Lantern is gay.

Thought this was board worthy. At least DCTF reads gmg. http://www.texasfootball.com/college-news/view/179952

I liked this more when I read it on the angry board.

A multi-paragraph response to all the Gabbert apologists on GMG and/or Texas Football? What's next? Debating the future sack totals of Chris Clemons via an AV Club retro thread for season 3 of Alf? That said, I was entertained.

Our national crisis is over.

I don't know about y'all, but I'll put up Kenny Evans' football knowledge up against this guys any day of the week.

Rick, sorry to hear of Margie's passing. I enjoyed knowing her and talking to her on many occasions before she got real sick. Call when you need a friend to talk to. Jim

Does it really matter how much your QB benches? He's ranked the 7th best QB in state by LoneStarRankings. I've been impressed with this kid. Quick release, can put some mustard on it when need be, ability not only to scrammble to run as a weapon. I think this is a great get....oh wait...my bad...I should be outraged bc he only had offers from Montana and La. Tech.

He only half-calls me out, if at all. He lists many QBs without Super Bowl rings. And, the two he lists got their rings on the strength of their arms. If he thinks Kenny Stabler's legs got him his Super Bowl ring, I've got some oceanfront property in Nevada to sell him. Snake would get a good, hearty laugh out of that...sober or not. Ken Stabler in 1976 was not Ken Stabler at Alabama in the mid-60s. In the grind it out NFL of the 1970s, Snake led the NFL with 27 TD passes in 1976...while rushing for -2 yards on 7 rushing attempts...in one season. Seven. Negative 2. Wholly laughable. Maybe at a future a Raider reunion, Mark van Eeghan, Dave Casper, Cliff Branch, and Fred Biletnikoff can reminisce about how Snake's -2 yards rushing propelled them all to Super Bowl glory. Crazy. Ditto on Steve Young. His 6 TD passes led the 49ers over San Diego in his only Super Bowl start. Steve Young whipped up 35 TDs and a 112.8 QB rating that year. That's 180 degrees different that anything Vince Young could ever dream of doing...if he even dreams about doing anything in football other than standing around with a clipboard and drawing a paycheck, which he can barely do these days. Buffalo. Harvard. Coastal Carolina. So, I'm not really sure what the author's point is - to be wishful about Vince Young and Robert Griffin maybe? Other sharing a last name, Vince Young is not comparable at all to Steve Young as a quarterback. And, Vince Young's Rookie of the Year award was nothing more than NFL PR. His rookie numbers were about the same as Blaine Gabbert's rookie numbers last year in Jacksonville. Yes, I know, Gabbert apologists...Gabbert threw just as many (few) TDs as Vince and fewer INTs...and, didn't have a great defense like Jeff Fisher's Tennessee sqauds did to constantly bail him out of crappy performances. I get it. You don't have to lobby me in the great Vince Young versus Blaine Gabbert debate. I already understand both had bad rookie seasons, and that neither are really fit to start in the NFL. Truthfully, neither are likely fit to be back-ups. Young, 2006: 184 of 357...51.5% completion rate (yes, barely over 50% in the 21st Century NFL..sad, I know)...2,199 yards...12 TD passes, 13 INTs. Gabbert, 2011: 210 of 314...50.8% completio rate (somehow even more pathetic than Young's rookie year)...2,214 yards...12 TD passes, 11 INTs. Gee, where was the outcry for Gabbert last year when he didn't win Rookie of the Year? Stupid. If there were any honesty in the NFL, the 2006 Rookie of the Year award would have been given to DeMeco Ryans (156 tackles, 3.5 sacks), Maurice Jones-Drew (941 rushing yards, 46 receptions, 15 totals TDs), or Marquis Colston (70 caches, 1,038 yards, 8 TDs). The 21st Century NFL, though, often misses what is happening on the field due to marketing concerns - never let pedestrian on the field performance get in the way of good jersey sales. If only Jacksonville could have done more to pump up Gabbert's jersey sales.... I base what I say on history; the author bases his beliefs on what is happening in OTAs in shorts and whatnot. Maybe he can ask Colt McCoy. On game day, the James Harrisons of the world are not running around half-ass in shorts. In the end, I do completely understand that an author in "Texas Football" is apt to leave rationality behind when speaking of former Texas college players. Perhaps this guy will someday lament that Roy Williams and Cedric Benson will not be on future NFL Hall of Fame ballots. The NFL is the NFL. It will be as cruel to Griffin as it was to Vince Young. To the authors of "Texas Football" it seems that Todd Dodge's old "I don't have a college football plan or a high school footbal plan, but a football plan" would ring true. Football isn't the same as you move up the ladder.

We can go to Oklahoma or some other neighboring states to fetch a QB. We used to pull a few player out of California back in the 1950s. Nothing says we have to stay in Texas to fill all our needs.

I'm not unhappy about a 6'3" quarterback who runs around a 4.6 40. This is cause for celebration. I'm cutting out of work early to get a bottle of Veuve Clicquot.

So are you this kid's brother? Father? Good buddy? Or are you Ethan?

Is that still a thing? Even during Women's Basketball off-season?

I agree with you. I just find it very intriguing how you can formulate this rock-solid opinion based on what the media has fed you. Your comments in the Sandusky threads are divergent on your views in the Zimmerman threads.

As my mother always tells me, "No spouse seeks to outlive the other. The perfect way to go would be at the same time." Sorry for your loss.

Rick, you're a part of our history and Margie is a part of yours. I'm sorry to hear of her passing. The Stylized Eagle and the apple green uniforms. The most distinctive uniforms in college football. GO MEAN GREEN

ESPN lists his 40 time at over 5 seconds. Watching his video, this is far from correct.

Like this commit. Has the size and speed to play multiple positions if the QB thing doesn't work out. Strange throwing motion. I wish we knew if this was a straight QB recruit, or does the coaching staff see a change of position in his future.

Can this kid's dad coach "coach"?

Hey, any publicity is good publicity - for both TFLF and GMG - right?

But it's still cheaper than therapy.

There has never been a more true statement.

I miss Josh Lewin.

I think we can own this new segment and not even have to try.

Sorry to hear about this. Prayers to the Green Grenade.

The number is up again (but we still need to get it higher). I think you'll need a 930 to play in the postseason in a couple of years: Football University of North Texas TX 2004 - 2005 907 Football University of North Texas TX 2005 - 2006 916 Football University of North Texas TX 2006 - 2007 917 Immediate Penalty - Scholarship Reduction = 5 Football University of North Texas TX 2007 - 2008 911 Immediate Penalty - Scholarship Reduction = 62 Football University of North Texas TX 2008 - 2009 927 Football University of North Texas TX 2009 - 2010 932 Football University of North Texas TX 2010 - 2011 938 http://web1.ncaa.org/maps/aprRelease.jsp

Dajon & mustard?? Nice!

Who are our prospects at quarterback for the 2014 recruiting class?

yeah jerrod could shape up to be a pretty good qb. definitely a longshot just because of his great athleticism and publicity. and yeah it could be too early to decide yet. any other qb's from 2013 or 2014 were eyeing in denton or cooke county or any others?

I am sorry for your loss, Rick.

1. UTSA is located in San Antonio having games at the Alamodome does not help to market their program to greater San Antonio. Having games at the AlamoDoMe does not bring visitors or alumni to the campus. 2. With the Spurs leaving the AlamoDoME and the building of the AT&T Center, there no major professional sports franchises that play at the AlamoDoMe. The AT&T Center and the Alamodome actually compete for events. 3. A Bowl Game once a year and a final four tournament every four years is not enough to support a major sports arena. 4. An empty sports arena benefits no one and costs everyone. 5/6. UTSA receieves no revenue from concessions, parking or permanent advertising or promotions. UTSA has share revenue on suites. UTSA has to pay almost 40k a game to used the Dome and pay ticket fees on sales greater than 20000.. UTSA students pay a sports fee just like UNT students. Unlike UTSA, UNT buyenefits from all the revenues their stadium generates. Yes impressive first game attendance, of course attendance dropped throughout the season by 50%. Once UTSA plays FBS level competition and has several losing seasons, let's compare attendance.

My sympathy and prayers to you, Rick.

Are details regarding the service going to be posted on this thread? Also, could an administrator PM me with an address?

I'm sorry for you loss.God bless you and your family.

May God give you peace at this time. You & your's are in our prayers Rick.

pass on this one

Peace and Strength from the Lord be with you Rick. Kurt G.

See Riley Dodge. Great high school quarterback, but was injury prone in college.

Prayers from the McKinney's. Rick

Typically, yes. But since he verbaled to NT I'm sure he will be a 2*
