The irony that is you asking why another post cannot "just be happy" is richer than Johnny Manziel's parentsOriginally posted by CS:
The irony of your comments after landing a single five-star recruit is awesome. Why can't you just be happy we landed a great prospect?Originally posted by scary jarbro:

Occam's Razor tells us that the Florida success was due to Urban Meyer. If it was Strong's doing, that would have followed him when he left Florida.Originally posted by fouled_anchor:
Coach Strong is a very good recruiter. He recruited lights out as DC at UF. However, as a HC he has more restrictions, and needs his staff to kick ass in recruiting. Have a more successful season next year and recruiting will start improving. If they would have beaten at least 2 out of OU, UCLA, and TCU, I believe it would have created some positive vibes around the program. Just got to start wining more and things will start to turn.
You always have dug-in opinions about things with tiny sample sizes. Time to learn some lessons and admit when you're wrong and admit it. Charlie's working against some factors here that you just won't acknowledge. Now we're seeing some bigger signs of his abilities, but I just doubt you'll ever admit it.

Are you kidding? I'm happier than I would be because of your constant haranguing over Charlie Strong's abilities in general and recruiting specifically, than I would be if he had only landed MJ and DM today. These comments of yours I only just saw this morning, and it turned my elation over these commitments into elation plus schadenfreude over you once again looking silly.Originally posted by CS:

To be fair, CS. You have a much larger body of work to judge from than Coach Strong at Texas. I think we are all happy about it, btw - and happy those of you who have been negative are now proven (at this point) wrong.Originally posted by CS:

Agree 100%. No need for name calling....that's for the youngsters....although I suspect some of it was in good fun. Also agree that OO ONE knew how this one was gonna go...which was why I watched from the sidelines and didn't venture a guess. If it causes a positive trickle down for us I'll eat a plate of crow with you!Originally posted by AlpacaCorch:
And that's fine, but to sit and act like there wasn't growing concern about Strong's recruiting is just dumb. Ketch voiced concern, the guys at IT had voiced concerns, things weren't looking great. I'll gladly eat crow, but calling me names and a hater is just stupid, it was an opinion, and a wrong one.Originally posted by doc2rouge:
Got a feeling you might get couple of more helpings before it is all said and done. But kudo's for stepping up and gobbling down plate 1.Originally posted by AlpacaCorch:
Some of you are acting like jilted ex girlfriends, I ate my crow already.
Very true. "I THINK...." Learn it.Originally posted by OrangeElvis151:
Probably the biggest problem with message boards is a poster's inability to actually state an opinion AS AN OPINION. Posters like the OP make declarative statements as facts when they are not. It is too bad, because occasionally folks actually DO know something, but then it is lost in all the noise.Originally posted by orangeuglad:
The problem is you have to give someone some time to actually show a sample size before you "declare" success or failure. Too many pants wetters with knee jerk proclamations on this board.Originally posted by AlpacaCorch:

the better. He is getting destroyed on the recruiting trail. DESTROYED. 0 for 30 in Texas for 2015. IMO if he doesn't change up his recruiting, his time in Austin will not be long. I love what he stands for, love the discipline, love the defense, but his recruiting is laughable at this point. We lost Stevenson, now Weathersby, and Lampkin doesn't seem to be solid. He recruits like he's still at Louisville.

Holy shit this is the funniest thing I've seen today. Plus this thread awesome so bumpity bump bump bump.
Eso has always been a quality poster here, but I was wondering about this also. I'm not doing any endzone dance here, but for weeks Eso was insisting Charlie had indeed screwed the pooch, employing generally poor recruiting tactics and failing to make daily contact with MJ. He was adamant that either both guys would go to Aggy, or MJ to aggy and Deandre to UCLA.Originally posted by Cutter13:
Couple of things.
Dual Threat called it early and Often!!! So did Mr. Cosell.
Why is everybody thanking ESO? Sorry but this guy is not worthy of Praise today.

Yeah.. this is rich considering how miserable he has been for more than a decade. And to CS - WE ARE HAPPY.Originally posted by jcullender:

Offensive line recruiting is a major crap shoot compared to other positions. In the 2013 NFL draft 6 of the first 8 OL taken were 3 stars or below. Two of them were high school quarterbacks.Originally posted by boxter:
Wickline has always recruited "his type of guy" several guys got called out when he kept getting 2*-3* guys who never amounted to squat. Joe is a great coach but rarely lands any top ranked recruits. Eventually it put Osu in crappy situation.
We have so many fans that would rather say I told you so than just be passionate and hope for the best. It's just nice to see coach strong to continue to actually build this thing brick by brick through actions and not some silly phrase.Originally posted by Hornius Emeritus:
The thing is, when haters are right, they say "see? I told you so!" When they are wrong, they say "I was never so happy to be wrong and will GLADLY eat my crow."
So the haters "win" either way.
