Yes, Larry Porter was at one time in cahoots with Willie Lyles.

Yes, Sumlin was at one time in cahoots with Bob Stoops.

Sin surely even you are not this dumb. If you would post something other than negative comments about the mods here,Texas coaches (or players), HookEm members then you don't have to worry about being banned. Your history is to post comments attempting to jerk our chain.

Thanks WildBill. Pretty much the point.

I dunno that Porter ever did anything wrong but the relationship is documented. And now Texas is hiring guys from the SEC Overlord to manage it's recruiting operations.

I guess I'm just throwing it out there that maybe it's time for some to look beyond what is described as "SEC recruiting tactics" and accept that a lot of schools have just been getting out-worked.

And yes, Sin Miedo is the Spanish translation of my Gaelic family motto. But I like to think I was posting with respect, not fear. Ha.

I don't believe anything shady is going on, mainly because of the fact that we would have better results. It would be just too depressing if we were paying players and sucked. Haha

Texas hiring coaches from the SEC is not new, just ask Auburn.

The wheel is invented....I mean...we went over this when we hired porter.

I'll go first.

"Nay."

Heheh...

And I really wasn't trying to be an ass. I'm just not part of the VIP convos here.

I've got an idea. Let's have a vote to see who all thinks Sin Miedo should be comp'd a VIP membership:

"AYE!"

Then it's settled. We just put him to death.

Let's make a deal...

We agree to talk about Porter & possible Lyles stuff...if aggies agree to talk about Matt Davis & possible Lyles stuff as well as RSJ on the take

Deal?

Aye.

I like ole Sin. Reminds me of an aggie Bierce. Good mix of wit & substance, even if he's an Ag!

Regarding the hire(s): Mack has run a clean ship... Too a fault.

No way Mack hires him with a guilty conscience. Not saying Porter's clean, but simply that between the two all dirty laundry has been aired and cleaned.

Other hires have simply Mack trying to take an ingredient of success. Bo Davis has underwhelmed while here, but Bama D-line was stout while he was there. He's got a lot to prove this year, imo. Suddes has a connection to Bama, but nothing negative. We've been bringing in SEC coaches consistently since Chizik.

Obviously, and in some ways unfortunately, Mack realizes that SEC is la creme de la creme. He's not stooping to new lows or turning a blind eye. He's simply piggy backing off those that have found success.

The problem is that Mack is a trend follower, not a trend setter.

Matt Davis? That's a new one.

Anyway, thanks keeping it civil. Just thought it was interesting.

And if it's okay with you Chuckie, I'll pass on that invitation. Ha.
