Comment Title: Miller58 Can't Use Logic
He won't answer the question because he is wrong and tripping on his own "spin". He doesn't use logic...just uses bs, hot, fresh and smelly bs.

Comment Title: RE: Miller
Miller it's a pretty straightforward question: Should we go after 3 star talent? YES or NO? If you answer NO, then what do you care if stoops gets his share of "non difference makers" we shoudn't be stooping (get it?) so low. And if you answer YES, then aren't we diluting our ranking and getting further behind tu? So which is it? you claim no spin but that's all you do. ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!

Comment Title: WITH TERRIBLE RECRUITING SINCE 2007< SHERMAN LOST HIS 21st OFFER IN THE LAST 18 WEEKS TO ou?
My personal opinions:_____Make up your own mind by quckly reviewing Sherman's four classes, on rivals free A&M commit page for '08,'09,'10 and'11?_____Page2 shows who committed each individual player!_____Seperateout the spin and lies!_____Look at each players speed, size and atleticism, or lack of it?_____Count the number of DEFENSIVE difference makers in the four Sherman classes, on one hand?_____BAD COACHING AND WORSE RECRUITING AND LAST PLACE GO HAND IN HAND!_____Who would you add to the list of highly qualified Charlie Strong, DC at FLORIDA and Butch Davis, HC at NORTH CAROLINA, that could come in and sign 10 to 22 difference makers ths second year, and compete successfully for the big 12 and mnc like only mac and stoops do now?_____Expect Blow out losses at arkansas and okie lite to expedite the need for a quick professional search for a new coach!_____miller58

Comment Title: RE: Idiot 58
Hey miller , 2 of the 3 guys you mention ( Franklin and Franks) that Stoops got are NOT difference makers. They are lowly 3 stars (according to you). So by your logic why should we bother even trying to recruit them. If we did, then we would be even further behind tu in the all important "difference maker" race . So which is it> Should we have tried to get them? or not? I'm waiting.....

Comment Title: SHERMAN LOSES 21ST RECRUIT OFFER TO ou IN LAST 18 WEEKS?
My personal opinions:_____Strengthening his hold on last place, Mike Sherman lost his 21st offer in the last 18 weeks when AY#30 outside Linebacker Aaron Franklin 6-1 206 4.5 committed to Bob Stoops_____Stoops recently stole Sherman's jock ,when Stoops committed two of Texas fastest, Athlete Franks 4.4 and Safety Haynes 4.36, and now Franklin?_____miller58 "I demand Sherman recruit better than the current 43% of tu, and up to and better than mac and stoops average 14 difference makers every year!"
The blame game
