    I’m thinking you do see the two quotes are not mutually exclusive…that they’re actually consistent.

    This quote is akin to:

    "We will not get into a facilities arms race."

    Death of college football. Minor league pro football has no appeal.

    The first was off the cuff bravado that has been overused since, both to glorify and villify. Sometimes gambles are warranted and pay off. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a few more on the field but in the long run you may win a few more, but you may likely lose a few more.

    As for the 2nd quote, I agree in principle. I hope the system stabilizes instead of escalating.

    Not necessarily….i think his meaning is about short term perspective vs long term perspective and the ability to sustain success.

    A lot of kids have signing ceremonies at their high school. Maybe it's good he's not having an "announcement" event like Adarius Hayes apparently is.

    Or maybe not.

    Why not put a :alligator: image right below the announcement, like many players are doing, that are committed, several Texas commits put a Longhorn image below theirs??

    Haha I remember that and then it was Rutro. Heard Shane Mathews and a few other “names” go on about that.

    Is this for real? I know people said it’s inevitable but did he actually officially flip in terms of it being made public?
