Damarcus Smith could definitely PLAY... but his work ethic was probably lower than any player I'd ever seen before.   He worked harder at planning parties than football.

He showed some glimpses, but he wasn’t good. He didn’t play anywhere after leaving here...same with Dajon Williams.

It tells you all you need to know about the QB situation here that SL inherited when he offered a scholarship on the spot to Mason Fine to be ready to play ASAP. That collection of QBs we saw in the McCarney/Chico last two seasons was easily the worst I’ve ever seen a FBS team roll with. Not one of them could play at this level and I’m not sure that any of them could play at the FCS level, either.

Derek Thompson might disagree.

He qualified it with the "last two seasons", after DT graduated.

Oops, good catch and I will agree.

Mason is just a classic case of what a struggling program like ours needed. After middling around for so long and not making much progress, we finally found a guy who could command respect for his abilities, and respect as a person because of his demeanor. I talk up Mason Fine pretty much every chance I get, and I'm currently in a battle with the UT sheeple here in Austin that he's the best QB in the state. 

They'll never admit to that, but I'm almost 100% confident that with a healthy season, he'll prove me right. GO MEAN GREEN!

P.S. If you aren't ready for this season to start, I don't know what's wrong with you, but you need to fix that.

Dave Campbell magazine has him as the best Texas college QB in the state but they didn’t put him on the front cover? I mean I get UT has a strong following with all their wannabe fans, but give the man his props.

I've gone from thinking we'd be pretty good this year to panicking about all the hype and worrying that it will turn south to buying in and confident we are going to have a great season. 

Just get here already!

Dajon Williams reference, obligatory:

EDIT: damn, I need to do one of these for Mason.
