Alright, I was hoping it wouldn't end in such a fashion. The post you made was pretty good but still quite a few holes never the less. Let me point them out to you.What, no percentages? Has the number dropped so far that you can only give out a "majority" now?
None questionable, all Pro Bowlers. I am loyal to Texas but every single stat I've handed out was truthful and would still be even if I was a fan of another school. Well since you want me to, here are the names (in alphabetical order):
Bertelsen, Jim
Brackens, Tony
Bradley, Bill
Brooks, Leo
Campbell, Earl
Clayborn, Raymond
Dillon, Bobby
English, Doug
Gray, Jerry
Hampton, Casey
Holmes, Priest
Hughes, Bill
Koy, Ernie
Lammons, Pete
Landry, Tom
Lansford, Buck
Layne, Bobby
Massey, Carlton
McFadin, Bud
McMichael, Steve
Metcalf, Eric
Nobis, Tommy
Sauer, George
Sewell, Harley
Sisemore, Jerry
Talbert, Diron
Tubbs, Winfred
Williams, Ricky
Show me a list of schools that have that many Pro Bowlers in their Program's History? If Texas isn't in the Top 10, I'll stop my argument right now.
First things first, I'd like to see the percentages of other schools (how many drafted, how many pro bowlers, what's their average career span) but I realize that's probably too big of a task but, as I've mentioned before, I doubt there are many schools that have produced better than what has come from the 40.
Secondly, just because a player isn't a household name doesn't mean he was a bust. Most of that 283 were taken in the late rounds and weren't expected to be great (if they were, they'd have been drafted higher). If even 20% of those players lasted in the League for over 5 years, that is a major accomplishment, considering where they were drafted, and none of them could be a considered a bust. So to say that "over 90% of players from the University of Texas amount to nothing more than a steaming pile of dung" is a bit skewed considering that most of them weren't even expected to live up to the standards of dung.
This again? Already shot it down, see page 1.
Dude, this is a message board. We can't see your facial expressions on our screen or hear your tone of voice through our speakers. If you type something out and it doesn't have a smilie or even the slightest tinge of sarcasm in it (yours didn't), it's going to get taken literally. Don't type it if you don't mean it.
Once again, what you equate as garbage, I see as dozens of players who had long careers in the League, several of whom made it to Pro Bowls and made a good living in a Profession that spits players out all too quickly.
Good you go ahead and do that but, oh wait, you don't have a job with the Cowboys organization do you? So if Dallas happens to pick up DJ next year in the Draft, what are you gonna do? Will you protest?
The current Coaching Staff sucks at developing College Talent let alone NFL Talent. Overall, they've done a pretty good job by my numbers.
Not my job bra, that responsibility falls on Mack's shoulders and once OU beats Texas again next season, hopefully Texas can hire a Coach that can win even one freaking Conference Championship.
