2019 Recruiting - Football

[#2is#1]

I've been meaning to ask; why do they call them the New York Football Giants? What other New York Giants in any sport is there?

The San Francisco Giants were in Manhattan until 1957

Yeah... but that was before I was born. I guess Berman thinks he's being cute catering to really really really old people.

It dates back to when MLB’s SF Giants played in New York. Fun fact: The Mets are blue and orange to blend the colors of the two teams to leave NYC prior to the Mets’ formation (Dodgers and Giants).

I do know my baseball history a bit. Willie Mays made the catch in 1954 off the bat of Vic Wertz.

Is this the kid who quit his HS team?

No, he did not quit his team

This will get a lot of poops.
Sanders to Bama

You cannot say nobody gives a poop

Hey Joe Fan, do you think us missing on Cain and Sanders means we will now pursue Glass from Katy? Or are we done at RB?

 

[Joe Fan]

Our Georgia guys

I do not think we will pursue Glass

 

[Joe Fan]

Maybe he made multiple videos in advance?

A guess:

Long ago, the San Francisco Giants baseball team was known as the NY Giants baseball team. They played in one of the 5 NYC boroughs (but not likely the Bronx since the Yanks are there). The NY "Football" Giants term was probably used to distinguish the teams and the name stuck....

So, I guess it will come out later why Cain didn't act on his "Texas lean" and chose instead to play at frosty State Penn.

Seems like we have a couple new aggy posters today?
Ive never done that - register at an aggy site and start pretending I was aggy
Have any of you done that?

Rivals has now ranked OU at #7 bumping us down to #8.

We have more upside I think till Feb signing day.

 

[UTexRulz23]

So is it just Hookfin and McCoy (and Shepard) that are left as possibilities?

[LonghornCatholic]

[Joe Fan]

HELL NO!

 

[Joe Fan]

Would not surprise me if both Jake and JWhitt both got some carries next season
I really enjoy Ian's Xs and Os stuff, they are great if you are into that kind of analysis
But I am not sure making fun of your paying customers is the greatest business strategy ever invented. Fans always overreact - its the very nature of the beast

 

[Joe Fan]

HELL NO!

LOL, you might be the last person to do that, after me
WorsterAg just does not sound right

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Shitta Sillah

Musta been unexpected pregnancy.

 

[WorsterMan]

The 2019 all-name team

I think Suddin Sapien is my fav name.

Yeah, JoeAg or SargeFan doesn't fit you either.

 

[horn_fan_cpa]

This certainly doesn't sound good on the McCoy front.

[LonghornCatholic]

I think Suddin Sapien is my fav name.

He's a very cool dude, too. Took time to take pics and hang with my son a little at Baylor camp this summer.
