    Had a relative ride with Lamar in the Texas fight for Independence and the new country had no money so they gave land. One of his tracts was here in what is now Dallas and his son, Richard Lagow, gave away most of the land so Dallas could grow. he also started the first public school and gave...

    Damn, you have done your time in this area. Hope you missed the summer. I have tried to leave every year for 40 years and it is always in July.

    Lol. No we do not get a giant stick and smoke a whole cow. But I did own cattle until a few years ago and one of my kids goes to Colorado State University and she is on the cattle judging team that travels around the country judging cattle at shows. They are at the Fort Worth rodeo right now and...

    Never did I suggest that the current coaches were not upfront. It is not their responsibility to keep us up to date on their decision process. There were things said that led to Richard to committing early, but not by people on the staff. Hell, I told him how his sister was one of the top 50...

    SMU people do not tailgate, they have someone cater a dinner :-) But I promise that I will have a tailgate party at my place with tritip and we will get a driver so you can drink all you want. It is 20 minutes to SMU so that will give us enough time to practice walking a straight line till we...

    I wish it had been 60 :-). But they all went through a lot and as a senior leading his team he was having to beg for rides to practices and school. that was one of the more humiliating things for me, he never said a word. It was a long and tough fight and it was made tougher with the cancer and...

    He was not begging or asking for other offers and if he was he certainly hurt his opportunity by saying he was still committed to UCONN, and he is sick. Coach P told us this was a dead period so there was no urgency until he could talk to the staff or fly out there. You want to make something...

    What you are missing is that I am not the player and have the luxury of being able to let him make his own decisions. You also are not an NCAA expert and we were told very plainly by coach P that it was a complete dead period until tomorrow. Also, it is easy to make a "press" release after the...

    Brisket is brisket. There is a place where I grew up and played high school football and it is famous for the brisket. So one day I was tired of ruining the meat so I called and asked him how to cook my brisket like his. He laughed a minute then told me how to do it and at the end told me to...

    Mike: thank you. I am easy enough to find and verify on the internet. I do not mind the bantering, just not towards the players. If the dead period ends and Richard signs with Uconn nobody will ever know what was told to him when he committed. If he does not sign with Uconn nobody will ever...

    Thank you. It is unfortunate that I do not work. After engaging here for the last day or so I am considering a WallMart greeter position. Not sure I could stand as long as those people do. Need to go get some really soft sole shoes and start practicing. :-) Again, thank you and you should all...

    You do realize that if I ever get invited to a tailgate party I will need a food taster to make sure it is not poisoned? :-) i know you are right and I honestly thought the bantering was good fun....until it crossed the line of attacking Richard. He is not up yet, but my guess is he is still 18...

    He will be home again today, sick. Saying he does not need a scholarship is not an insult, that was always made clear to the staff and even suggested to his recruiter as a means of opening up more linemen slots. I do agree with your suggested statement but it would only be after he sent me a...

    I will admit that he should, or I should have sent a message on this board that he was sick. We were told in our house by the head coach that this is a completely dead period until tomorrow and we honestly were frustrated all day at not being able to talk to anyone. I appreciate your support for...

    He did not cannon ball anything. He still holds the cards and can sign anytime he wants and after what I have read here I am less than enthusiastic but he does not read the blind assumptions you have been spouting, and I would not tell him and hurt him that way, so he is still committed at Uconn.

    No, he was saying that until this afternoon when he woke up. Yes he tweeted on and off. He also had the recruiting channel on. If any of you have had kids sign college commitments you know how big a deal it is and having him lay around all day was torture to me and his mom. If his position on...

    Sportsart, I honestly do not know what you are mad about. The class is top notch. I did not seek your attention, I just used my name. If you think this is tough you need to read a paper more often, you guys are easy. And if the coaches read all this then something is seriously wrong because this...

    I did not advise him, I did not give him the virus, I had nothing to do with the Kennedy assassination, his high school coach would not lie for him, he did do a phone interview....not me, he is 18 and not a third world no birth certificate 18, and no damage has been done because nobody would...

    It really is 20 days from signing date. I was as surprised as anyone when I read it and then I called to see if I was reading it correctly.

    I did not threaten violence, just that I would not get along with a person of your character. And my integrity, whether you realize it or not, is beyond question and I have no reason to lie and would not.

    I appreciate your response but after this board took fire today I personally spoke to the NCAA regulator head and was told that under no circumstance could a coach signed letter offering be retracted for 20 days. You can call them tomorrow if you want. You will need to get past the thirty...

    What dirty laundry? Before he did not sign there wasn't laundry. I have done nothing but act cordial, except for the bridge, and not said a word about any coaches. So what dirty laundry? He brought some down the stairs earlier for his mom to wash, but that is about it. He was and is sick, maybe...

    First you would have had to have ever had the ability compete and then miraculously had a story, which is equally impossible. You prefer to bad mouth a kids actions, question his integrity, all quite anonymously. On the other hand I use my name, do not bad mouth a school or program, refuse to...

    He does not have to, and will never have to, beg for anything and it is easy to tweet and answer a phone but he was not going to sign some papers so that you would be happy. Fever, no fever, think what you want. I tried to be courteous. The simple fact is that you have some other agenda but it...

    I have a daughter in law school who is on the international law review who I need to get involved because obviously I can not communicate the issues and you seem to know when a kid is sick or not. As I said, take your best shot at me, but not a kid that missed his signing day. Hell, call the...

    Regrettably, that is the same article. He was talking to 247 I guess. It was a mistake, I should have told him to stay in bed, put he was tired of laying there watching the recruiting updates and seeing guys he had competed against have their names called out so I let him alone and went away. I...

    They got a great athlete QB/safety/academic star/any position he wants to play. They got a local homegrown QB that is a good kid. They got more than they expected. I assume you are referring to the illness? Well, deal with it because I have the bills, the medicine, the excused absence slip...

    He found out about the second QB the same time the OC arrived and then it was announced that the commit from cinci was being recruited. It was a short phone interview you are talking about and I was as surprised as anyone when I read it and immediately asked him about it because I was actually...

    What I don't understand is that for seven months he talked to recruits, talked up Uconn, stayed faithful and did not take one more call or visit, then Uconn has a great recruiting class and apparently gets more than anyone expected (including QB) and there is no tolerance at all. Butch is...

    He has only been told to do what he thinks is best and then after the decision is made he has to do what is best for the team. As for parents, I was warned by one obviously wiser and I ignored the advice. Next year the parent's will have a better learning curve, or be less stubborn, or not be...
