Army All American Game Open Thread

NBC. Right now. U.S. Army All American Bowl. What could be better? Christine Michael has already committed to a black hole Texas A&M. Sad to see high school kids screw up their lives on national television.

Yeah ok JMac, Jackie shipp can better me for the next 40 years not 4 please.. Yeah yeah yeah I know i’m whining dont care though

Nice catch Timmons

Shit Michael has good feet to bad he decided A&M

East in Black, West in White FYI
Texas Commits (Name and Number)

Chris Whaley, RB, 25
Greg Timmons, WR, 81,
Garrett Porter, LT, 78
Alex Okafor, DE, 80
Calvin Howell, DT, 99
Tariq Allen, OLB, 43

I belive that all of our recruits except Porter are starting today.

marcus davis #28 i think

Interesting that none of the top QB talent went to this game.

Really?

Aaron Murray’s not top talent at the QB position? That kid was top 5 before the nasty leg break. Looks fine running on it today. If Brown hadn’t dropped the deep ball in the 1st quarter, Murray would be looking fantastic right now…..

i think

they were mostly saying that in general the guys who went to play qb at the UA game are a bit more highly regarded by most recruiting outlets… that doesn’t mean they’re going to be better by any means but i agree with what he said – on the whole this game’s qb’s aren’t as highly regarded nationally.

Does Timmons have the only catch for the West

well

he had the first one, im watching slightly delayued

Dropped an underthrown deep bacll there
shouldve caught it

no excuses

Alex Okafor

Great pass rush there, forced the QB out of the pocket

Don't be a dick

Choose a hat

QBs

I suspect the QB play in tomorrow’s UA game will be night and day compared to this game.

Timmons has some good speed they’ve already thrown to him about 4 times

Agree

Seems to be the only one who can get any seperation.

no doubt

read that he has easily been the most consistent receiver all week long. I think the recruiting services have been under rating him.

side note – does anyone know if he always wears his hear like the dude from house party or is that some sort of a joke?

i dont know but i love it.

Why do people still continue to go to Notre Dame when were they last good the late 80’s early 90’s. I mean shit it aint our Daddy’s or Grand Daddy’s Notre Dame times have changed

Michael looks scary
Michaels*
actually

I think you had it right the first time… it’s christine michael.

where was he throwing to

All I saw were black jerseys even on the replay

Good thing we didn’t pick up that kicker on the East

good lookin' recruits there...

HOOK EM!

Does anybody care where Johnathon Bostic is going to declare?

Good luck to Cal it looks like they have a shitty QB coming there way

I feel like I am watching

Cinci vs Virginia Tech

This game does kind of suck

cool commitment Bostick....

too bad nobody cares! haha

Very nice Whaley
question about whaley...

do yall see him fitting into texas’ system? he’s so big that he seems like he’d be a natural in more of a power running scheme rather than out of the shotgun.

Also I’ve read some speculation that he could easily out grow the position altogether and become a DE or maybe a TE..

Not completely sure

But they did tell Whaley he would be the only RB taken in this class, so Mack and Co. must have some plans for him at that position. Although, that may be because next year’s class is loaded. The RBs from Temple and Dennison are the first who come to mind.

I think him and Fozzy make a perfect tandem of speed and power...

although I have heard he could be used at linebacker…

east/west?

admittedly I probably had a better grasp of the American map in 5th grade than I do today but I was looking over the rosters and the east team has Darius Winston a db out of Arkansas on its roster and the west team has Dre Kirkpatrick the db out of ’bama on its team…. HUH?

haha, they might have had to switch some players to keep the game even....and boring.

The West has been killed for a number of years. Therefore, they had to move some talent over to the West. It didn’t matter.

Wow

That was impressive

Timmons?

Anyone seen him since his drop?

tariq allen lays wood
Tariq!
I was just thinking

I had not heard his name at all today

style of the game

don’t think all this passing really plays to his strengths. plus apparently there is some sort of no blitzing rule – I thought I was watching bball when I heard illegal defense called in the first half

Lane Kiffin didn't want that kid?

What an idiot. Makes me glad he’s at Tennessee…..

AHC-

What is the word on Stafford? Do you think he is going to leave?

Word is 50/50 right now.....

Supposedly his relationship with the Manning brothers from their passing camp is making him think long and hard about a 4th year in Athens. That and a healthy O-line, lol. Moreno is more likely gone than Stafford at this point…..

If he leaves

Would Murrary be the front runner to start?

Highly doubtful.....

Joe Cox will be a 5th year senior and has started and won before. Jury’s still out on Logan Gray as well, kid out of Missouri who was our 3rd QB this season yet curiously found a consistent role returning punts. At this point, I think both Murray and Mettenberger might redshirt…..

I thought the West was supposed to blow the East out?

regards, crimson tide...
Has Jamarkus done anything of significance today?
made the east o-line look good.
Maybe he'll do better with all that 1 on 1 coaching that blOwU athletes get.
Completely invisible...

I haven’t heard his name since they told the story in the 1st quarter. He’s a non-factor at this point, lol…..

No big deal..

Jackie Shipp is going to make him a better a person for the next 40 years.. I guess he was referring to the pay day he will be receiving from Big Red Auto.

That was Classic you heard that too. Next 40 years

uh oh

here comes some comments…

Karl Malone, you are a hick....

and got blown out by MJ and the Bulls…

that's nice

that he’ll acknowledge his kid. not all of his offspring have been so lucky

I thought the same thing

I guess because this one has his lastname.

I bet he is getting shit, people in San Antonio hate him!

So whats everyone think about Jamarkus Spice It Up McFarland today?

i guess that qb didn't get the memo that it was 4th down haha
I figured he was an Agro recruit.
I didn't realize Chris Simms was playing..
did the just say Seastruck is already comitted?

Or was he talking about someone else?

Yes he did..

I think he is wrong though. I just read an article about him on OB.

i think

committed to play in the AA game next year…

Right

That scared me for a second

Just to officially clear this up

Here is the quote from OB

We’re hoping to talk with Seastrunk a little more on Friday but from some people we talked to on Thursday afternoon, it sounds like Texas is very much in the picture for the speedster running back, and there’s some thought that the Longhorns could eventually creep into the driver’s seat. (Suchomel)

I read something that he wanted to go to the same school as his friend, any truth to this?

I have never heard that

But I may be wrong, I am a member at Orangebloods as well.

I think it was on the combine coverage yesterday.

Mingo

Did Mingo his commit to Texas?

Has to be a typo
Wow

I was just typing that when you posted this

yes

Mingo absolutely did his commit to texas… that’s old news

run the ball

this game has gone on long enough

Whaley!

46 yard TD run

Screen pass, dump and run rather
very nice Whaley
McFarland gets a mention

Good for him. Although it was in the “didn’t do much” category.

Clearly he was romancing himself
Nice Okafor

Couple runs he just blew up

I don’t know if it’s true but I heard McFarland was gonna go watch a couple hookers romance each other after the game

only if they have "freakiness"

anyone have a link to the game?

Recruited by Van Malone?

As in former Longhorn safety Van Malone?

anybody see Dre play in the game?

how did he look?

Recruits

I sure hope Texas has a decent recruiting class. From what I understand, Colt did not have the talent that Bradford had – and said it cost him the Heisman. Of course, the fans in Oklahoma and Texas knows that is BS when the talking heads said it. The difference is, of course, that Bradford is simply better than Colt and coaching. Remember 39-33.

Of course, if Texas would not have LOST to Texas Tech 39 to 33 – Texas plays and wins Big XII Championship, Colt may have won the Heisman, AND you would be playing on Thursday night. As it is, Oklahoma is the 2008 Big XII Champion, Bradford won the Heisman and we are playing Thursday for the National Championship. I was going to wear my 2008 BIG XII Championship shirt in Dallas to counter the 45-35 shirts. But, if all goes well, I hope to wear the National Championship shirt.

LOL..

way NOT to be a douche..

A frustrating game to watch...

Provided some nice insights though huh?
