Calling out of Thayer Evans!

He’s just a guy with a blog. Granted, the blog is on the NY Times, but since when did anybody look there for their sports news. Let’s not throw a hissy fit every time somebody on the internetz doesn’t like us, it will save us a lot of time and dignity.

You guys are in full meltdown mode! It’s sad… which is what makes it so funny.

Chillax, bro. Your team played for the National Championship and you just hauled in a ridiculous recruiting class. You and Wrangler86 need to get together for a hot cup of cocoa and a foot rub.

I trust the coaching staff at Texas far more than some journalist hack with an apparent axe to grind. I think the coaches believe that Henderson the player, and Henderson the father will be more headache than anything. Moreover, there are not too many 6’8" linemen in the country playing college football. Dude is a tad too tall to handle the nimbleness of a DE as they progress through their college years. Myself, I was an amazing baseball player right up until the age of 18. Then it just stopped. I believe this will be the case for Seantrel. Additionally, perhaps grades were a problem for him and they chose not to risk a scholly. Like I said, I trust our coaching staff.

there just isn’t any good sports news that hasn’t already been reported, so journalists and bloggers alike are forced to pull something out of their ass to bring home a pay check that week. While I agree Thayer is a disgrace to unbiased journalism, since when has the NYT ever been a shining beacon of integrity? Looks like he found his place and I don’t blame him for these pointless articles because ESPN does this crap all the time as well, just not against Texas so much.

As the Glenn Beck of BON I almost wrote a similar rant I mean post. But, my take is a little diffrent.

I dont’ give a rat’s ass about T.E.‘s opinion because he is clearly an idiot. I don’t even care if he doesn’t expose or discuss OU’s dirty shanigans and is completely biased toward them. But I do care the that The NYTimes allows him the space and forum to blog his stories which are sometimes pure fiction. The NYTimes has tarnished its own reputation. If they didn’t fire him after the McFarland story was exposed as fiction, then nothing else is going to get him the boot.

He is clearly known as a biased blogger and not a journalist. Notice this year that he didn’t have any access to behind the scenes recruiting of anyone at Texas. He will never be a journalist.

If you think about it, maybe we should actually send TE a thank you note because the Christmas gift he gave us last year seems to have resulted in recruits preferring Texas’ recruiting style over OU recruiting lies. We virtually shut them out of Texas this year, and we even got McFarland’s teammate Carrington Byndom out of Lufkin. Coincidence?

I refuse to go to TE’s links and stories because I don’t want to be counted in his traffic numbers which is all the NYTimes really cares about—traffic to the site for advertising $$. Ignoring a blogger/reporter or complaining to the manager is the best way to get rid of them from a national media outlet.

The University of Texas’ media and press department should also use its strength to ban press/media privileges to media sources that publish knowingly false stories about our operations, including recruiting. I bet TE and the NYT didn’t get much access to the NC game from Texas.

Rock on LEMILES, I got your back.

The article actually makes Texas look like the storied program that is. Mack Brown does not have to chase down, beg for, etc. every top recruit. He can afford to be very, very picky. And top recruits notice when Texas doesn’t go after them. Do you think they notice when A&M doesn’t come knocking? Or even OU? That speaks volumes about this program.
