Comment Title:
Yeah, and how about slocums record at lake charles high school in 1968 and 1969 compared to frans record in the big12. So take that, miller !!!

Comment Title: Half-truths miller
What was Fran's Big 12 record? Did he even break .500? And what was RC's real conference record? Something like 100-30-1 with four, five, or six conference titles.

Comment Title: RE: Hullabulloo
My personal opinions:_____Hullabulloo, there are only 10 real reasons why we can't recruit four and five star recruits?_____The first is a head coach with no college head recruiting experience!_____The second is a head coach, who because of his lack of college head coaching experience hired 9 assistant coaches that in the 5 years prior to A&M, had not signed a single five star and only 2 four star recruits!_____Any other reasons are simply are Aggie Spin Machine bs!_____The first thing Butch Dvis did was hire the top recruiter John Blake; the first thing Nick sban did was hire Kevin Steele, national recruiter of the year; the first thing Lane Kiffin did at Tenneessee was hire top recruiters?_____Hullabulloo, hiring Mckinney's friend with absolutely no college head coaching experience, is the stupidest thing I can ever remember A&M doing!_____And the result is poor coaching and even worse recruiting and last place?_____miller58

Comment Title: response to miller58
Your post doesn't have a damn thing to do with the story! Why don't you get a life, take a trip for 2 or 3 months or just move? More importantly: If you would bother to subscribe to the Maroon & White Report and read John Lopez's column, you will find out WHY we are not signing some of the 4 or 5*'s. In the meantime, go somewhere and hide and STOP typing the same EXACT goofy remarks to every single story!!!! I'm sure these are also the sentiments of several thousand others..

Comment Title: RC'S RECORD AGAINST BIG 12 TEAMS IS 35-23!
My personal opinons:_____By contrast, Bob Stoops is 73-14; and Mac Brown is 72-18?_____Mike Sherman continued to prove his poor coaching and even worse recruiting, when Mike lost his 12th recent commitment to his personal bare cupboard?_____Mike in his third signing class, with 71 signed and committed mostly slower, less athletic, and smaller lower ranked players, lost an offer to 4* Ronnie Vincent 5-11 186 4.53 to Les Miles._____The majority of the other offers recently lost by Mike, have been to Big 12 opponents?_____miller58
