Cobi Hamilton watch

by HenryJames on Sep 28, 2009 12:18 PM CDT

One of the great things about this site is that basically every blog post ever written is saved into the archives and they’re easy to retrieve. Sometimes, I find it interesting to follow a story or a player or a coach over a period of time and look back on what we thought as things unfolded. I usually laugh at our pseudo-genius & certainty.

The words 'Cobi Hamilton' and 'budding superstar' were thrown together on this board after Hamilton broke open a tight 41-7 Arkansas-Missouri State game in the 4th quarter with an incredible one yard touchdown (reads box score again. yeah, one yard).

There were two obvious caveats. One, 'if you believe the hog boards and posters.' Two, it was Missouri State. Now almost no one is prepared to believe the anything an Arkansas fan tells them. And a 1 yard touchdown against Missouri State translates to what exactly against a quality opponent?

We've found out. Hamilton and Arkansas have played Georgia and Alabama in the last two weeks. Hamilton caught a pass against Georgia for 9 yards. He also caught a pass against Alabama for 3 yards.

Now it would be great to have a replacement for Brandon Collins, but at this point I don't think Cobi Hamilton is it.

Can we get a “closetojumpingtheshark” tag?

With the # of receivers we have on scholarship, you’d think we were the Houston Gamblers. Political correctness be damned, if McNair had bought the USFL rights of the Houston Gamblers name & unis, I’d be a devoted fan. Instead, the Texans became their generic moniker.

Brock Fitzhenry caused Jeremy Hills to fumble on Saturday. I think we should move him to corner.

Young Cobi has exactly one more catch than Darrius Rucker Hayward-Bey and two more than Michael Fucking Crabtree.

“Brock Fitzhenry caused Jeremy Hills to fumble on Saturday. I think we should move him to corner.”

I think eventually he’ll move around the corner from Clint Haney..

Well that’s better for the neighborhood than Deon Beasley because Fitzhenry probably takes care of his lawn.

Former Longhorn committ Antoine Hicks caught that winning TD for TCU. We’ll be missing him more than Cobi probably.

I thought Brock Fitzhenry was the starting quarterback for Tulsa?

My Dad grew up near La Grange, so I’ve spent a fair amount of time in that area during my life. I took a shit in Giddings once, say around 1990 or so.

The beauty of the difference in our positions is that your position is mockable for 4 years. You are dependent upon this guy going bust to have it another way. He is playing and catching passes and looks like he could have a good career with them. That’s hardly David Aaron or just some other dude that could run fast. Would he have helped us without Brandon Collins? We currently throw to about 4 WRs on the team. It would be nice to have options beyond that. But taking Cobi Hamilton wasn’t just about 2009, and you know that, you pandering buffoon.

We have Cobi Hamilton currently red-shirting under the name Greg Timmons. Pretty much the same dude. Good hands, big body. Hamilton would be red-shirting this year. As a numbers game, I’d rather have Hamilton over John Harris though.
