Horns247 Board

i second the above. your last post was taken off the other site before i could read it. i always have looked forward to your posts and was really pleased when you were posting over here.

Essentially he said DJ Monroe and the coaches have met (Monroe was upset with his PT) and that some good may come of the meeting. Good in the sense that Monroe will become a more productive player.

Also coaches said Gilbert is doing a hell of a job carrying an offense without getting much help from RBs, WRs, OL and TE. They've put a lot on the kids plate and he's responding. Armchair critics of Gilbert don't understand football.

jhablinski is a douche.

True dat. But only when it comes to Brit Mitchell. Maybe he's BMs dad.

Some *ssclown on OB.

To be clear, I never called out a player (nor has anyone I have talked to who's close to the 40). I don't believe in that and not sure how that thread got turned into that. I've received probably 30 emails about all this crap and it's ridiculous.

I never called anyone out or said anything close to that in my post. Not sure what the issue was with the poster who said that then edited his post. My opinion (and mine only) was that if you look at our tackles for next year, it's a major concern, imo. Nothing I said in my post could be considered harsh or even controversial.

Mahico --

Your post was excellent and the type I would love to see here. Your information is informative and interesting...thats why so many of us value your content.

I hope I am not being too bold. But my point of the original post was to point out the changing dynamic thats going on with Longhorn sport coverage. You bring high quality information to the masses and...IMO, there is a place where that information is going to be appreciated and enjoyed.

On the flip side, there is a more prominent place where uniformed people are going to tear you down and disregard legitimately good information. I am a member of multiple boards (and will remain so...I always need recommendations for Napa). But to put it plainly, I hate to see you give information to the idiots and leave the well-informed posters in the dark. I hope you know what I am saying.

And to be clear...I have no affiliation with 247...I just appreciate good work when I see it. Glad to see you are a member.

i agree with that. The product that these guys have over here is a good one for sure. It was a wow moment for me when i realized Gerry, Bobby and some others were over here. Very talented folks.

What about Trey Hopkins? Gerry speaks very highly of him and says he can play tackle.

A true FR taking over RT & then his first start is OU?

I agree, but I don't think Hopkins will be as disadvantaged next year as most true sophomores. Most have complimented his footwork and technique. That can be an extremely useful mask for lack of upperclassman strength.

Right Tackle next year could have a 2-deep with a true sophomore (hopkins) and a true freshman (Westerman). Need both of those guys to be ready.

I know it wasn't planned for Walters to redshirt but I really think we lucked out with Ashcraft, Porter and Walters being able to redshirt.

Hopkins hasn't played thus far this season. We'll see if that changes.
