   Goodbye Darius. What a waste of talent. You cannot ever ask someone to do what they do not want to do. The mind can be a great asset or it can become your biggest enemy. I hope he ends up at that cesspool they call Texas A&M. Think that would be a good fit.

   I heard from a long time ago from someone very close to the program that specifically, Darius White told DGB NOT to come to Texas because he wouldn’t get any playing time while they were all hanging out in the hotel the Friday night before the Kansas State game. Both the coaches and other players were furious which pretty much just ruined White’s chances of ever playing here again.

   What a drag. His tweet a few days ago mentioned going back to Ft Worth. Was that just a reference to going home, or is there a chance he ends up at TCU? And how, if at all, to the in-conference transfer rules apply when a school has announced but not yet joined?

   Is it just me, or does it seem like wide receivers are petulant malcontents much more often than any other position?

   My answer would have been, “why, because you’re going to keep me off the field- skillet hands?!”
7. Tex Long said:

   December 14th, 2011 at 10:08 am

   A while back I wrote about the lack of proper attitude in the receiver corps, and the several aspects of that, including the need for an absolute belief that “this is MY motherfucking ball, and no dipshit wearing a different color outfit is gonna keep me from getting it”.

   I would add to that list the “dancing in the end-zone” that seems to enter the minds of many receivers before they’ve even caught the ball, much less crossed the goal line. I noticed on several of White’s non-catches that he looked to have forgotten about actually catching the ball and to be turning up-field and thinking about his end zone dance during that instant before the ball reached his hands.

   Not sorry to see him leave, under the circs, but I sure wish he’d had enough functional neurons to understand what he had to do besides have that physical talent… maybe some other coach can help him and get the light in there, and if that happens, I hope we don’t have to play him, but if we do, I sincerely hope that whoever the Next Machete is, he chops the sorry fucker in half.

   Okay, [/rant]

    Wasn’t Darius White the recruit who got all tangled up because of the nametag given to his high school teammate at a Junior Day? That should have been a sign…

    Also, as you trash wide receivers (and I generally agree), think about the greatness that is Andre Johnson. Not only the best WR in the NFL but also the most humble.

    Article in the local desert newspaper made the point that the jive-ass “look at me!” WRs are on the decline (TO, OchoCinco, etc) and the new WR studs are a much classier group (Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson) …

    December 14th, 2011 at 10:22 am

    Aside from the bashing of Darius White (which is deserved), I think the staff needs to focus on trying to prevent a situation like this from arising again. Stopping it at the recruiting phase, doing periodic locker room checks, or yearly evaluations before renewing scholarships – don’t discount the effect of negative recruiting. It’s an old concept taught in any basic management class. If you provide good service, maybe a person recommends you to 3 other people. However, if you’re downright terrible, that same person will go out of his/her way to tell 11 people about the piss poor quality of your work.

    In the event, DGB commits elsewhere – the shadows of Darius White will linger and we’ll be left wondering “What if?”

20. Big Ern said:

21. Xayd said:

    His twitter suggests that all is cool with him and Cobbs and all the other Horns. He still call the Horns his “fam” and is telling his teammates to keep up the “GRIND” or keep grinding.

    Whatever the hell that means. I wish the kid well in Fort Worth.

    I second the Demarco cobbs as my favorite horn post. I will miss Acho the younger and Keenan, but I am really excited about the emergence of Cobbs and Edmond, who since they have landed on campus have both been labeled as the guy with Bad motherfucker enscripted on their wallets. You could tell from their Rivals pic’s when they were still in high school, they just looked like scary freaking guys. Same with Tevin Jackson. Still a lot left to be seen, but I love the direction the identity of this team is headed…. talented and violent. Hahah.

I hope more people, especially the other WRs, were pissed at DW. I am disappointed that the coaching staff didnt suspend DW asap. I would have. You say that, and you can never step inside athletic facilities again. I dont care for the “UT will always be fam.” F that, we see what you said about your fam. I do NOT wish DW any luck at all.

    ChiHorn, We have some amazing depth coming back at LB:
    Hicks – Jr
    Benson – So
    Cobbs- Jr/So
    Edmonds – So
    Jackson- So

Arrangements have been made for new accomodations for you, and you’re off the team. You are welcome to complete your school year, but you will have nothing further to do with Texas athletics. Mr. Tubbs will escort you to clean out your locker and your room. Goodbye and good luck.”

    Thecontractor: Not one of those guys has showed much of anything on the field. Edmond has shown flashes, especially on special teams. Hicks has been awfully quiet for someone with his reputation coming in. Admittedly it would have been hard to take snaps away from Robinson or Acho, but I wouldn’t characterize the LB situation as “amazing depth” until we know what some of those guys can actually do.

    thecontractor said:

    TexLong, yeah, i am assuming it was during KSt weekend also. Makes sense since thats when DGB was on campus.

    Would be nice to see GDGD at one of those schools, to see what he does there. Would justifiy or prove us wrong(the people like me that wanted GDGD to be let go of his Offensive duties much earlier than dec 2010). If not at UF/Au then somewhere, i want to see what how he does.

    #4 will be open, im sure Cayleb will try to get that number. Hope he can change the luck, great kid with great attitude. He will sweat more in that number in 1 practice than DW has in 2 years.

    thecontractor said:

    December 14th, 2011 at 12:23 pm

    TLR, good point. Hicks did miss a couple of assignments, 1 leading to a TD vs Ok St. Also, rumors that he wasnt a 100% part of the year. I agree it will be hard to replace Acho18 and Keenan, both played at a very good and high energy level for us. Sadly, we didnt get to see much from Cobbs with the broken hand/arm. Mostly still “potential” but other then Hicks they are all underclassman.

    I say this half in jest, but does anyone really WANT to wear #4 again on the offense? Based on the decline in results from Roy to Sweed (thing injuries senior year) to Buckner to DW, I’m halfway expecting the next guy to wear #4 not to even make halfway through his freshman year.

44. Spaceghost said:

    After his suspiciously-timed, earlier-than-others release/departure, coupled with the negative recruiting rumors pertaining to White, I suspected this had occurred as speculated, and that we had said “adios, mofo” – jettisoning him summarily, post haste.

    I,for one, do NOT wish him the best in the future after this BS. That low-class, two-faced SOB.

    Now I understand the A$M rumor, as it would be a fitting destination for a loser punk with a major case of butt-hurt. Hope you get hemorrhoids and a good ass-raping in the hillbilly $EC.

    One question: why wasn’t he suspended after K-State???

    my only tie to the program was in the room at the time — present with players ONLY — and he said that Cobbs and White had had bad blood since an on-field incident last season.

    take that for what its worth, coming second hand from a scholly offensive player allegedly in the room at the time.

47. scagnetti said:

    that may, again MAY, also speak to why he wasnt suspended — no coaches were in the room (i dunno about staff), and this was a players policing incident — as they kept it to themselves. once DW’s scholly was not renewed, some of the players may have spoken up about the scuffle. i cant speak to DW’s negative recruiting.

    again, this is only MY speculation as to why/how DW was not suspended. I havent even spoken to my guy this year since Harsin was hired, so i cant really speculate more than that. and again, it is only MY speculation.

    Excellent insights, scagnetti. Your points are well-taken as to the question of timing and the team handling internal issues of this scandalous and outrageous nature.

    We can only wish Mr. White a most dismal and unhappy future for his lack of character and deceitful behavior.

    Thanks for the input you’ve provided – a real head-shaker after last year’s soul-rattling freefall.Sometimes incidents like this rally the troops’ spirit and strengthen team unity – may it be so now and in the future.

    He’s been there. Was two years OC at Arky and two at Georgia, coupla games over .500 total… then he went back with Mack. This is one of the reasons I think GDGD was basically Mack’s messenger boy on the staff, and one of the reasons I’ve been praying that HarsinWhite will find the balls to tell him to GTFO and go play Head Salesman and CEO while they build an offense. Otherwise, it’s gonna take superman at QB again – do we wait for Swoopes?

    I don’t usually post this stuff on these sites because I don’t believe in blasting these kids.

    But, I went to see White in person and I thought he was a douche. He was standoffish from his teammates, and looked really lazy on and off the field. It was obvious he had a bad attitude even then and he never did all that much on the field. He did have one good punt return, but as a WR, he was shut down repeatedly by average DBs.

    He has the potential but I don’t see him ever living up to it because apparently I was right about his attitude.

    DGB committing elsewhere would mean the shadows of UT’s atrocious QB play would linger. If DGB is as solid a person as he’s reported to be, he’d understand that White’s statement is a greater reflection on White than on the Horns.

    It’s kind of stunning to me that White couldn’t get it together and stay on the field this year. If ever there was an opportunity to grab a spot by the balls this year was it. He was the only guy who seemed physically to have true breakout, big-play talent, but he never learned to block, run routes, or catch. So he’s like a less physical Malcolm Williams, without the heart and grit that Malc always brought (fault him on his hands, but the kid played hard). So it goes.

    Man, everyone else seems to be MUCH better at finding receivers than we are. You know, like TAMU, Ok State, OU, UH, etc. That’s got to change.
