holy ****, the fobbs/nelson hate is strong over on gomer.com.

I've seen posts wishing for broken bones, the obvious "we're gonna **** nelson up at Kyle", etc.

As much as we wished ill on "the sixty million muthafuckin dolla man", texags takes the cake.
 
IMO, if aggy ever expected to sign Corey Nelson they were out of their ******* minds. I know he "verbally" committed there, but did anybody ever really expect a talent like that to end up at a joke of a football program like aggy? Maybe Corey Nelson just realized what he was getting himself into and wanted to go somewhere where he at least remotely had a chance to win conference championships/national championships.........




I wish he would have gone to aggy though so he would have been a non factor. Its a good thing we had such a good recruiting class this year cause we may look back at this one and wish he would have ended up and aggy.
 
The same assclowns laughed their heads off when Perriloux shafted the Longhorns. They aren't laughing so hard now, are they?
 
i'm glad to have him, but i have real mixed feelings about nelson. i know i was a douche when i was 18, so i kind of understand.... but there was no reason do it the way he did. it's just childish and selfish.

i won't at all be surprised if that type of attitude contributes to him not doing anything at the next level. i know my sooner posters will probably disagree, but i try to pride myself on being objective. and what he did wasn't cool.

and neither was what meachum did to us, which was waayyy less than what nelson did to aTm. meachum didn't even give us a public verbal, and we're still pissed.

RP ****** you guys, and you're still pissed. it's just not the proper way of doing business, or living, for that matter.

off soapbox.
 
it's recruiting. it's all part of the game. i have no ill feelings towards him really. disappointed, yes, but life will go on. in the end it was a good pick up by OU, venebles didnt stop hustling, and we just got the short end of the stick.
 
the problem i have with it is waiting until signing day. waiver all you want during the season.... but after his visit he should have told aTm that he just wasnt' sure and that it would be a signing day decision. sherman would have accepted that, just as we would. there is a rumor that he had both LOI's at the fax machine and acted like he was going to fax the aTm one and then jerked back and sent the OU one.

that is still a rumor, but if true, i just don't like it.
 
if that last rumor is true...well...that just sucks.

yeah, had we known about his decommit even two weeks ago, there are a number of recruits we would have made a push for. tommy saunders went to OSU, but had a lot of interest in A&M...we backed off becuase of nelson. terrell reese, and a few others.

oh well. at least it give us some wiggle room for next year's class.
 
The fact that Nelson committed early and still continued taking visits to other schools was a bad sign for aggy from the get go. He de-committed and it shouldn't have been a surprise to even the most maroon-colored glass wearer. When RP bolted the way he did, I thought "move on down the road, young man, because you ain't fit to wear the Burnt Orange."
 
This was supposedly posted by an aggie on AggieYell.com. I found it on Oarngebloods.com.

I'm going to take a minute and give my two cents, here:

You have a kid who had literally been committed to A&M for six months. He committed to Mike Sherman while JOE KINES was the DC at A&M. Committed anyway.

He sat and watched while A&M got crushed by Kansas State and Oklahoma. Still committed.

He watched A&M give up 49 points to Texas. Still committed.

He watched A&M get crushed by Georgia. Still committed.

Chuck McMillian tells him he's a Mike linebacker and will be playing with walk-ons. Still committed.

Starts talking to Texas. They slow-play him. Still committed.

He watched A&M take a month to hire a defensive coordinator. Still committed.

Visits Minnesota. Still committed.

Visits Tennessee. Still committed.

AFTER ALL OF THAT, Nelson kept his word. He asked A&M to reciprocate on ONE THING.

Be good at football? No.
Recruit better players around me? No.
Tell me how great I am? No.

He asked them to tell him who the position coach he would be spending his time with was. Sherman did not and would not do that.

Who was more committed to whom in this scenario?

Oklahoma just flat wanted it more.

Take that in. Take it to a deep, dark place inside you, and let it smolder. Why? Because a lot of Aggies want to make it about "the rules" and "integrity."

That's what helps everyone feel better, right? That it wasn't really A&M's fault here. Nothing we could do. "The kid's a liar." "Venables cheats." A&M refuses to learn from its mistakes, because a condition precedent to doing so is admitting that you've made a mistake.

Mike Sherman made a mistake, and it cost him his biggest recruit.
 
i saw that post, and i think it's *********.

corey nelson was committed to us after a four win season. he was committed to us after a 6 win season. he reconfirmed his commitment after joe kines, DC AND LB coach retired. we have been without a LB coach since December 30. We didnt have an LB coach when he reaffirmed his committment last Friday by saying, and I quote:

I think what they both did was wrong. In this day of early committing, I can't blame a 17 or 18 year old for having a change of heart. But to string the coaching staff out to the last day is just flat-out wrong. Nelson could have handled it much better, but Fobbs takes the cake for being a complete POS. I heard he had 2 LOI signed and bluffed like he was faxing in the one to aTm before hitting cancel and then faxing LSU the letter.

I had the same feeling for Perriloux 5 years ago and have enjoyed every minute of watching him become a complete bust. I wouldn't wish injury on either of these 2 kids, but then again I don't see the humor in all the Cart McCry posts/jpegs that are so abundant on Texags.
 
In reply to: "RP...., and you're still pissed"

I think "relieved" is the better word to use here.

Corey Nelson gave his word, and a Texan's handshake, to his committment to A&M. He repeatedly publicly stated the committment was firm, right up to the last day.
As a Longhorn fan, I have no stake in this, but Nelson is a real liar and scumbag in my eyes, just like Perriloux. I hope this ends up being a big mistake for OU.
 
i suppose so. i dont know that sherman is always the bridesmaid just yet...this year was tough because we struck out on two higher profile guys late, but on the whole he's actually a pretty stout recruiter. his classes in the past three years, in my opinion, have been better from top to bottom than fran's ever were.

at any rate, i'm sure our coaching staff will learn from the experience and move on.
 
I agree with Prop Joe in that Sherman needs a few winning seasons and good recruiting classes under his belt before he has the luxury of telling a wishy-washy kid to F off. If Sherman has a few more losing seasons, it won't matter to the alumni or the powers-that-be that he took the high road and yanked Nelson's offer. All that will matter is that he is losing on and off the field.
 
notreally mentions meachem, but the more accurate recruit to talk about is pierre brown. exact same scenario, not a peep to the coaches until they hadn't received his LOI and then they found out he'd signed with...A&M

pierre brown was a bust at the college level. but yes, that's one that went our way.

then again so was pretty much every WR under fran for the most part.
 
I don't have a dog in this hunt, being a UT fan, and I can sorta buy Nelson's concern about the protracted absence of a linebacker coach at agricultural. Teenagers are also infamous for changing their minds every fifteen minutes.

All of that being said, Nelson led the Shermanator down the primrose path, and left aggy high and dry at the last minute. He cost them his service, and the services of anyone they might have replaced him with. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the humor in that...seventeen or eighteen years old is old enough to start learning about keeping your word.
 
What I don't understand is that what's done is done and you can't change it. They still got what is considered a good class with some good OL. Why don't the Aggies concentrate on who they got instead of lamenting who they missed out on?.
 
bill i agree, but the way our football program has been progressing, people are more comfortable being frustrated and depressed than having a bit of hope.
