New Commitment Caleb Anderson

[ManAboutTown]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I like to keep things real. We all believed that we'd surpassed those guys during Hudspeth's quick rise only to have them make asses of us. I am hoping we learned our lesson from then. I know I have.

I never believed that. I even posted about it.

Lol. Come on now. There's bigger fish to fry here than Oiler.....

I actually like Oiler’s devil’s advocate additions. I just like busting his chops. Plus, he has the best new nickname on the board.

Billy and the boys got the whole Boot jumpin!

Exciting times.

Incredible phrase we're going through.

Which is? I must have missed this...

This right here.

I remember him using Eeyore.

I remember him using Eeyore.

Correct. I'm pretty certain that's what he is referring to.

Well, it's exactly what I believed at the time. I allowed myself to get so caught up in the euphoria of winning during Hudspeth's first year that I lost track of reality. I shot my mouth off to some Tech grad/co-workers of mine before our infamous matchup in 2014 where we were totally and completely humiliated on our home field by those guys. Talk about having to eat crow that following Monday......

Never again. At least not for me.

Oh yea! I had friends that graduated from Tech drive into Lafayette for the weekend. I talked sooooo much noise, and then we got destroyed.....I pretty much ignored their texts and calls the rest of the weekend. I feel ya Oiler.

I would agree and the same would go towards players. We so often place projections and expectations on players before they've even hit the field, particularly at the QB position. At that point, if they fail to meet those usually lofty expectations immediately, people start generating a negative opinion of them as a player and it resonates on this board. It's often not fair to them.
