KD should be a unanimous first ballot HOF selection. Thanks for the great memories and as others have said, thanks for doing it with class.

Not saying Aledo doesn’t recruit, but parents seek out Aledo too. Since they are close to a big city, it’s easy for parents to get jobs and move. When you’ve won 11 state championships, people want to be a part of it. I’m not too naive to think recruiting doesn’t happen, but I also know there are tons of accusations thrown around with zero proof. Gunter, Brock, Carthage, Aledo, etc., etc. Basically, any school that is successful is accused of recruiting.

Winning does a lot of recruiting for you. People move into those towns because they want their kid to have a chance to play for state championships.

I agree and I’ll add that’s it’s especially true of grad transfers in my opinion. If you’ve got your degree, you’re an alumni just the same as the rest of us.

That’s okay. You’re their #1 best seller.🤣🤣🤣 I hope you don’t respond with George’s final comeback. 🤣😬🤣

The portal is for college players, so he’s not hitting the portal. Not being a jerk, just clarifying.

Thanks all your hard work and for representing our school well.

Good game. Wish we could have come out on top, but this was our best bowl showing since the HOD bowl and it came against a name opponent.

Yet somehow we look better than Boise.

Can this helmet not be done in green with the state white or white with the state green. I don’t necessarily think this helmet is bad, but you can’t see the logo.

It’s not about serving your fans, it’s about serving your team. I get it. His teammates don’t care because they’re like-minded. It’s a selfish, look out for #1 society. This is just a microcosm of that.

Nothing like telling someone that their OPINION is wrong. I bow to your superior OPINION. But here’s a FACT: Without fans, there is no college football, so yeah, he kind of does owe the fans to some degree. Another FACT: you are clearly saying yourself that he’s being selfish, but somehow you can’t see it.

Not playing with your team to guard your own interest is kind of the definition of selfish. And you’re saying fans are being selfish for wanting/expecting him to play with his team. That’s irony.

Do you see the irony of this statement? Wow😂😂

So we’re going to quit on our team because it happened to one person years ago?

And let’s not act like the colleges are “using” these players to make millions. It’s a symbiotic relationship. I understand how it works in other countries and other sports. What happens to those kids who don’t make it professionally? Do they have an education to fall back on? I’ll stand by my argument that a big part of college football are the colleges themselves. Alumni are connected because they feel a part of the university. I think many fans have no clue about football or talent. They just want to cheer for “their” team. The colleges are the draw, not the players.

Prove to me they wouldn't have made it without him. You can't. Someone else may have stepped up, you never know. I know for fact that he wouldn't be getting his NFL payday if UAB (or another evil college) hadn't given him a chance. They also provided him a free education that he will no doubt need since a RB's pro lifespan is so short. Save me the BS about how much money the university made off of him. The university gave him plenty in return. To me, it's not about the cost of the trip, etc. Had he told the team a week ago that he wasn't going to play, they could have planned for it. In that situation, I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with him traveling with the team, but I don't know why his (ex)teammates would want him there.

Pretty sure he knew all before he boarded the plane.

Reading your post and looking at the standings leaves me confused🤔

And to add to your analogy, let’s say the employee that quit had a major role in the presentation you were making.

Sorry, I don’t know how to provide an XM link either. If you have the XM app, search Eric Morris and I think it will show up. ESPNU channel 84.

No big nuggets of info, but a great interview. Some of you will not like that he ranks recruiting as 1) your current team 2) high school 3) the portal. He’s going to be good for UNT. Thanks for the heads up.

Elf??? Official nickname or lame attempt at humor?
