Gerry - Texas' Relationship with Ro Russell

    ah, the Head Village Idiot has finally presented himself, and no doubt with the late 90s argument that the internet is a playground of reckless anonymity by 'random' posters where the basic tenants of society don't apply (those who question others in this pseudo-internet world must be debate dorks!).....hey roger huerta, things have changed a little in the last 15 years, and if you haven't noticed, the lines between the 'real world' and the internet have merged. If you don't believe that, take the topic at hand for example, SL Xpress has not only dropped the real names of his nemeses, but he's dropped his own name as well (uh oh, bye bye 'random poster')....you still don't seem to grasp what an opinion is, so you're helpless there. Go get a little english tutorial and learn the difference between claiming something as fact and stating an opinion

    Actually, I didn't drop Kevin's name --- if that is who you are referring to --- until he dropped mine.

    I don't care that he dropped mine. As the link on that Shaggybevo thread indicates, I linked my name with my handle on one of the most public posts I've ever made, so it's not like I'm keeping it a secret.

    But for most people, I'm still a random poster. Random does not mean the same thing as anonymous.

    Love how you guys slurp up posts about programs cheating by one anonymous internet poster in JS, don't ask for sources from him or rail against him, but when another anonymous poster makes his statement against your program you all start dogging him..

    Oh and this is fine distraction from the crap over seas, T & P to Japan..

    back to lurking

    You haven't been lurking to well then, because there is an even split on this board about how accurate Shuttleworth is.

    Of course, it's much easier to believe that aggy and ou cheat, because you 2 are 2 of the most infamous cheaters in college sports. There's recent documented evidence to that fact.

    Nope. I have never done that. I have never linked Barnes directly to Russell, actually.

    Sorry about that, I've been corrected.

  • Anyone else want to vote me down for expressing my love for Texas basketball? Nice. swirl

    I see your point texasborn, but it is his opinion. A popular one? Nope. But that doesn't mean he should run and hide or be kicked to the curb. I have been following, supporting, or around the program/school since I was a kid in the early 60's. No bigger die-hard than me, but I support his right to express his thoughts here and elsewhere. I don't think he is looking for a "result" however simply giving us his perspective. Hook Em

    I think that, by and large, you're right. SLX is simply expressing his opinion, and he's been crystal clear that it is his opinion and that he doesn't have any evidence for it (any more that he has evidence for e.g. BU being dirty). He's also shown an admirable, non-hypocritical consistency; he's not reacting differently to his belief that UT's gone dirty by treating them any differently than any other program, despite having orange goo in his arteries instead of the standard red stuff that lesser individuals have.

    I also respect his decision not to talk about it, and he's been clear about why he hasn't been talking about Texas basketball, and these are the right reasons not to.

    And they are the right reasons not because he's saying something that UT fans clearly don't want to hear. Oh, it's definitely something they don't want to hear, to be sure.

    No, these are the right reasons because of the drama.

    dramaqueen

    Seriously, SLX has gone from absolute silence to dragging out dirty laundry and personal beefs. There's a big ol' thread on Shaggy detailing behind-the-scenes dirt at BC, and SLX is taking the opportunity to address every perceived slight from each random poster on just about every Longhorn board on the 'net.

    That part is unnecessary. SLX knew that sharing his opinion was going to kick over a hornet's nest... Now the hornets are angry, and there's no point in arguing with the hornets about it. It doesn't matter that the aspersions they cast upon SLX are wrong... but that's what hornets do when one kicks over the nest.

    And now we have this drama all over the place. Bleh.

  • and that post was way too long

  • However, don't you recognize that as the same line used by Kentucky fans for World Wide Wes? Or Baylor with Mitch Malone? Or Arizona fans with Hal Pastner?

    Guilt by association. This is a thinly veiled accusation.

  • SLX is a genuine fan of Texas and a genuine fan of basketball, while I hope that he is wrong I don't doubt his sincerity.

  • To be fair, this thread wasn't started by SLX. He was somewhat "called out" for something he posted elsewhere. Can't blame him for responding.

  • NEXT TOPIC PLEASE. Im over SLX. He's gotten enough of my attention for a week.

    We, However, have a great recruiting class coming in. Especially with the addition of Mr. Thomas. Also, we beat Oklahoma yesterday and are going to play the Ags tonight. Love playing the ags. Rivalries are good for the soul!

  • If you're going to use someone's name when accusing them of being dirty, you should come with some specifics, IMO.

  • The same questions have been raised about our relationship with Findley Prep and no one seemed to take them as fact. I don't agree with bashing SLX for being uncomfortable with this relationship......but I also don't think there is anything to worry about. UT has passed on way too many great Texas players because of unethical demands, for us to even entertain this topic.

    Why would Jones, Austin, etc choose to attend Baylor over UT if we were willing to pay them. And that's not to say Baylor is paying, just that if we would have offered them $ wouldn't they have come to UT instead?

    Why would Kabongo de-commit if we had already paid for his commitment in the 1st place? And, if his decision was influenced by $ his school list wouldn't have included Duke.

    And, no I'm not Rodney but I would gladly switch pay checks with him.

    He's a HS coach now and has developed some strong opinions about which Big 12 and national programs are really over the top with their rule breaking.

    ......and who are the schools and what are his opinions?

  • If we are cheating. We should get punished. Just wonder why we wouldn't cheat on studs from the state of Texas instead of 3 stars from Canada like Thomas?

    No, he's not. You're wrong. I know for a fact who JS is and you're just guessing. Just give it up and consider you might possibly be wrong about something.

    So we should just take your word when more than a few people on 2 other message boards say you are completely full of crap on the Jesus situation and the UT cheating stuff as well? How do you know who Jesus is when many others claim your guess is totally wrong? I was hoping this crap had not made its way here as its all over every other UT board, but as with everywhere else you offer zero evidence of any kind on UT cheating or any other claim.
