I don't think everyone here is suggesting some kind of cheating. In fact most people have already gotten over it.

It's almost like you as an Aggie are trying to use this as some sort of validation or moral victory that Aggies are classier.

And why are YOU bringing race into this? That was YOU. Not us. You're the one that's trying to spin these "accusations" to MAKE them racial. That was all you.

I still think it's weird that we hired major to be the RB coach. Did Major really cost us Scott? That sucks if true. Would Major even be here had Rucker not gotten cancer?

maybe we are racist, guys. we should all take a page out of beergut's book and just be smug assholes.

That was a bit of a stretch to drop the race card, huh?

for pointing this article out for me. I managed to avoid noticing the three other diaries directly talking about this article. Without your keen observational skills, all of us here at BON would be lost.

It's also refreshing that an Aggie would have the unmitigated gall to suggest that some Longhorn fans might be "racist". I'd use the regular cliche here about cast-iron cookware, but that might reinforce your point. I'll also refrain from pointing out all of the recent cases of blatantly overt racism down in College Station, because I'm sure an informed Aggie such as yourself is quite aware of them (and should be ashamed, but hey, "tradition" and "values" are more important than respect for your fellow human beings, right?).

Lastly, let me reiterate a point I made previously: Beergut, you are a complete and total Aggie.

that's a bit of a stretch
i never thought i'd be the one to say this
lord knows me and my black power fist tattoo spend a lot of time fighting fights with shadows that other people don't see

but come the hell on ... common sense says that
if a child gets a full scholarship to go and live in another state
full athletic scholarship
that parent no longer has to support that child in food and energy consumption for the time being
so if anything she's getting considerably more money because it's not being spent directly like that on a child
booooooo this man
i know it's the internet ... but this is the biggest pile of horseshit i've seen in a while ... and i take offense that someone is trying to take this in THAT direction

First, we've all seen this article before.  Second, we've also seen other sources claiming that there was cheating.  The evidence conflicts; why do you blindly follow one thread of evidence, to the exclusion of the others?  And finally, race?  Come on.

I agree with others who have said that it's aggy of us to keep this story alive.  I'm happy to let it go and don't mean to keep it going by responding here.  But your diary is, again, crazy.

let's end this ridiculous darrell scott discussion/
who cares anymore/can't wait to go to boulder next year and see what number he is wearing--
probably 1

I happen to like Colorado.

Let's see:

• Owners of the infamous 5th down play
• Owners of the Kordell Stewart hail mary
• Team of said Stewart and Michael Westbrook, two of my favorite college players growing up
• Arch-rival of Nebraska, who I absolutely despised growing up
• Was amiable to providing the 11% to potential recruits (ok, that one turned out to be not very nice)
• The only team that was agreeable enough to get trounced twice by us on our way to NC #4
• Coached by Dan Hawkins, who laid the foundation for Boise to hook and ladder OU and cause great embarrassment to the Sooner community
• Also beat the pants off OU last year, which would've been much nicer had we not lost to K-State later that day
• Second-best party school in the Big XII. Unless you're into stuff like this.

But here's a nice feature on the soon-to-be-hated Jermie Calhoun. It's hard to root against players who end up making it out of rural Texas towns (a la Friday Night Lights), but somehow the crimson on the jersey sure makes it easy.

The same type of rumors about cheating came from texas fans when Martellus Bennett ended up choosing A&M.
The claim then was that Bennett's father had been given a job in a car dealership owned by an Aggie (nevermind that Bennett's dad worked in tech support, everyone wants to work at a car dealership, right?).

I just think it is ridiculous and petty that when y'all lose to a coveted recruit you think you have a great chance of landing, y'all automatically pull the 'cheating' card.

As shocking as it may be to some of you, not everyone in the world wants to play football for texas. Seeing Ohio State, Florida, SC, and LSU in the last three national title games should have shown you that.

After Martellus signed with A&M, there were claims that texas was turning him in to the NCAA, too, and nothing came of that.

As for my comment about racism, sorry, but the thinking that "You're Black, therefore you don't have a job, therefore you'd be willing to sell your kid to a college for a job" is latently racist. I think the same thing about Aggies who say the same BS.  

goingforthecorner,

Yes, from the information I've received, Major cost you Scott. As to whether or not he would be RB coach if Rucker was still healthy, I have no idea. What I don't understand is why Rucker, even though he is now in charge fo HS relations/player development, was allowed to keep recruiting Scott. If Rucker was the point man on Scott, he would be walking around with a burnt orange cap on right now, imo.
