Isn't that a bit redundant?

How do you know what is said on ponystampede.com?

Ah yes, the guy who pops up at random and is always unwelcome and annoying...you are officially the herpes of gomeangreen.com

Seems like a harmless question to me emmitt. My point being, isn't that a pay site, if so, how would someone over here know? Geez, do you still have dreams of strapping bombs to yourself, and running onto the SMU campus? You need an intervention or some good old fashioned religion.

Shouldn't you be trolling HS boards in the Austin area?

I hate those guys...and I don't mean football hate.

[dodgefan]

I'm a little old for twitter, but why do you keep up with an SMU representative that send out tweets for Pony fans?

[Marty]

Howard just got offered by Abilene Christian also.

Better option than SMU

Then as an older man you should have the ability to discern on your own as to why we would consider our current commit visiting SMUt as potentially being a concern to us. Don't you think?

[dodgefan]

Fair point, but he also has coaches from Tech and NMS in his home last week, why no disdain for those schools?

Because some want to think SMU us our rival.

They aren't.

We can do much better.

If we are going to pick a private school with which to have a rivalry, that school should be Rice.

[Withers940]

SMU is our rival! Any school that you would rather pour gasoline on than water during a fire, in my mind is a rival. They are right in our back yard.

You're a "dodgefan." Why are you still here?

You're a "dodgefan." Why are you still here?

That question was wide open.

There should be some kind of unwritten rule of college gridiron that states when you verbal, you shouldn't be following up with official visits to other schools.

To me it's not a commitment - verbal or whatever - if you're entertaining other offers.

Agree completely. Think of it as being engaged but still screwing around with other women.

I understand this viewpoint, but the way I look at it, I have no ill will towards teenage kids looking out for what's best for themselves as they make a major decision that will affect the rest of their lives. If a new school or school comes in that can give you a better education, give you a better college football career, etc comes in late and offers, I just don't see how you can blame a kid visiting or giving serious consideration to every option they have.

On the other side, as a coach, I'm letting each and every one of my commits know from the time they commit that if they start taking visits then they give me free reign to start recruiting players at their position. And seriously recruiting other players, as in inviting on official visits and offering. If another player or players take that commits spot while he's still wavering and going on visits, then he lost his spot. And that's how plenty of coaches do things.
