Guys you lost. UT has one thing to hang their head on the highest arrest rate of any program in the Big 12. Now that UT is addressed next is A&M .You guys are the new laughing stock of the BIG 12. I am elated that you boring bunch of Skinheads, thought you had a coup when you hired Fran and Coach Sherman. With all the resources A&M has common sense is not one. I am glad to have a Coach that has the highest graduation rate in the Big 12 and wins, baby he just wins. Guess what he coaches and stands up for his players as someone that played football for 15 years, I always wanted a coach that had my back.

I say go for it, who knows, one or all of you may get lucky....... There have been a few Texas Tech players stick around and make “Scout Teams”, after their try-outs at minicamps.

They could only wish they had a coach like Leach, or our 3rd string QB's. Baylor finally gets a rival in Baylor. How many aggies got drafted? Aggies must be bored.

The remark one made about Symons 5.2-second 40 and weak arm is out of line. He was injured late in his senior season, but came back to lead Tech to a bowl win. He had a great arm and could throw the ball downfield for over 70 yards. His immobility hurt his chances ans he just never came back strong enough after the injury. Kingsbury, the first of Leach's QB's was highly inteligent and an excellent quarterback. His lack of a strong arm did do him in over the long run, though. The other two were good college QB's but just have not been able to adapt to the pro-style game, which is true. The four mentioned were not rated out of high school or college on th same level as Harrell, who has all the tools, including the size, arm strength and inteligence to succed in the NFL. Give him a chance. As for the QB;s from UT and A&M making it in the pros, the only one who did do well was UT's Bobby Layne. The only A&M QB to stick was Gary Kubiak, a career backup, but a very good coach, I think. None from the post-2000 teams have done anything outstandin, not even Vince Young. He may, but not yet. Mike Leach has grown as a coach (maybe sometimes a little mouthy, but still a good coach) to the point he will place really good, even great teams on the field for many years ahead. Check back in 10 years to see how former Tech players are doing in the pros then, because they are going to get a lot better. What is it that A&M and UT duds enter TTU space just to bash the Raiders?

Even you (EB) could throw the 5 yard slant pattern pass to Crabtree. Say hello to Arena Football Graham because it is a perfect fit.

Not a bad deal...all anyone of them needs to do is entertain the farmers and the holy rollers.

Let me give you and all these other fools a little run down on your comment about the "failures of other Tech QBs in the NFL"... Kliff Kingsbury's "failure" goes like this= Drafted in 6th round, had a 3 yr NFL career and made over $720,000. BJ Symons= drafted in 7th round and made over $400,000 in a year and a half. This was as 22 year old guys out of college!! These "failures" owns multiple homes and condos in Houston, Lubbock and Dallas... PS- These figures also don't include tens of thousands they made in marketing/ endorsements on things such as football cards and autographed pictures dorks like you beg them to sign and then try reselling on ebay to your rediculous "Gig Em" nation to pay for things like Franchione's "insider" website, guy cheerleader uniforms, and Sherman's underachieving contract.

You forgot Chance Mock and the tall goofy blonde haired kid whose Dad played in the NFL. also Major Apple Dumpling Gang. Fact none have made good anything after not graduating from UT. Ricky "weed" Williams or Cedrick "Stoner" Benson have been so so. Earl The Pearl was the real deal though! Rick Lattimer great post!
