Matt Davis Has Swagriculture

There’s something bizarre about linking to my write-up in an article that criticizes someone for making fun of Blake Gideon.

I saw Davis’s film. If you live in Collie Station, he’ll be the guy picking up your trash in about 3 years

I wasn’t even criticizing him. And I certainly wasn’t criticizing him for making fun of Blake Gideon.

I find the whole thing bizarre and hilarious and troubling.

Actually it’s just a natural part of his immersion in the A&M mindset.

“Braylon Addison just dumped us to go to Oregon.” “It’s tu’s fault!!”

Congratulations Matt. You’ve already blossomed into a wonderful little aggy.

In BCS there are teary eyed people everywhere. “Our little Matt is an all growed up aggy.”

So was he talking shit because he knew that the aggies would not be playing Texas anytime soon? Or is he just not very bright and he thinks Texas still plays the aggies every year? Either way it doesn’t look good for the young man.

I wasn’t even criticizing him. And I certainly wasn’t criticizing him for making fun of Blake Gideon.

I didn’t word that very well. Thanks for linking to my story, though.

He’s liable to “slept they self” if you’re the first one to tell him “tu” ain’t on the schedule for the next two or three decades, at least. He’s gonna have to have ungodly eligibility to ever play the Horns, unless it’s in a bowl game. I don’t see UT sharing any bowl games with agricultural in this lifetime. It might be fun to match him and Gideon in a Texas Death Match, and see who slepts who.

Another reason to look forward to my new fall tradition, Schadenaggiefreude

Give him a pass, folks. The kid obviously has the emotional maturity of a 12 year old and the intellect of a Mongolian Koi.
He is tailor made for the ags and the SEC.
He will probaly win the Heisman!

4-8 next year should take care of any excess swagger issues.

Can you imagine what Bama’s rushing attack going against A&M’s front seven? It’ll be more spectacle than sport.

Good stuff…saw that this morning. Somebody has to do away with the Phrase “slept they” though…sexual connotations can never be a good thing for long.

Sumlin is not pleased: “Sumlin said he spoke with Davis Wednesday, telling his young quarterback that the tweets were "not acceptable."”

Dude sure is a whiney, mouthy little vagina.

Candy-ass fodder for the rabid dogs of the $EC . I’ll be awaiting his first (and hopefully not last) mangling, debilitating and horrendously painful injury. I think his “sleep-inducing” days are over
now that he’s swaggin’ with the big boys. Talk like that is gonna shorten his life-span over there considerably.

I get periodic swagricultures from my doctor to test for dropsy.

Has anyone tuned into the story about Davis’ dad working with Willie Lyles as a “recruiting consultant?” OB and Texags are both talking about Davis, Trey Williams, Devante Harris and Thomas Johnson’s dealing with street agents and how Davis’ dad is right in the middle of it. Both father and son seem to be sheer jackasses. Perfect fit for aggieland.

Poooor Aggie!

So, if you’re a Texas receiver, you’ll ride the bench for 4 years because that’s how we do things UNLESS, you’re:

Freshman Jaxson Shipley
Sophomore Mike Davis
Junior DJ Grant
Junior DJ Monroe
Sophomore Darius White

Those 5 accumulated 128 catches to around 35 for the Senior class in its entirety.

If you’re going to trash another school, at least make a damn bit of sense.

If Matt Davis’ father is embroiled in the street agent game, this explains his heretofore irrational hatred for Texas. His own dad is in with street agents, as is A$M.

Dude’s Dad is a cheater whose “way of life” as a cheater is threatened by schools like UT and OU who will out them and turn them in.

What we have here, folks, is father and son douchebags.

I hope we are talking with the NCAA about this crap; hope they “slept they program”.

Douchebags.

Did his lil buddy TeeJayJay respond?

And what did She-hamerroid Harris say that has Hookem24/7’ers in a tizzy?

The company name Davis’ dad works under can be found at bringitsports.com . I would think the fact that Texas isn’t part of the street agent culture is contributing to the “dislike” Matt Davis has for UT.

Evidently, the story is that Matt’s dad Phil was working with Willie Lyles and shopping Davis and Trey Williams around as a package (Auburn has been mentioned as a prospective buyer). Supposedly TJ and Devante Harris (being cousins) hooked up with Baron Flenory and that is what got them in hot water with Mack and Stoops (respectively). The fact that all four of these kids were shopped to the ags and that Matt Davis’ dad is in the middle of this indicates to me that the ags are starting to change their ways to fit into the culture of the SEC. I’m curious to find out how the NCAA handles the whole street agent issue.

As for Matt Davis being a “stand up” kind of kid, I think his mouth is going to draw more attention to him than he wants. If my dad just got into the street agent game in 2010 (just when my friends and I were getting recruited) and had been shopping me around to various schools with Willie Lyles (especially to Auburn), I’d look to how Cam Newton got treated by the press and by other teams and I would keep my mouth shut.

If the agricultural college is gonna get back into their old ways of buying players, now that they’re freshly-minted members of the SEC, they’d better learn to be a lot better at it than they traditionally are. Ags rap sheet with the NCAA is proof that they’re not very good at bending and breaking the rules, especially compared to some of their new conference mates. It is interesting that Davis put some effort into bagging on a team he’s not likely to see on the field. Davis might be drawing medicare by the time the Horns and ags play again.

It’s hard to find too many falsehoods in Davis’ comments.

This whole thing is like watching the Kardashian-Humphries breakup.

Or, listening to Bono in “One Love”: “Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame……”.

Can’t get that out of your head now, eh?

I’d be pretty bitchy if I had to go to agricultural too.

Nickel -

Whether the comments are accurate or not isn’t the issue. People are questioning if a kid who hasn’t played a down of college football should be calling out players from other teams in other conferences. They kid is now a represetative of that school and its athletics department. The ags used to pride themselves on having some standards of behavior. Sumlin called the kid out for acting like a punk and not as a leader. Since Sumlin seems to be about the only ag to find fault with Davis’ behavior maybe we are already starting to see that he doesn’t fit in well with the new texas a&m.

Yeah, it was really dumb, but aren’t you glad that your 18 year old self didn’t have a twitter account and 5,000 followers? I would have said some really stupid shit.

Oh, and the Gideon call out is funny. He shouldn’t have done it, but it is amusing.

Maybe he ought to tweet about his father’s street agent involvement with Baron Flenory, the second coming of Will Lyles. Lotta loud talk coming from a street agent cheat.

“Yo, anybody want to sign-up with my dad to play at A$M or Oregon”…

Big surprise. Everyone claiming “street agent” is an anonymous UT fan.

Maybe I am missing something on the kid, but I haven’t heard any street agent comments. Sherman was full of flaws, but he ran a clean, tight ship and he is the one who recruited Davis.

Big Al:
Calm yourself down. I wasn’ t commenting on the appropriateness of a freshly signed QB recruit making those comments, just the comments themselves.

Yo ColoradoAg:

OU and Texas agreed to both drop TJohnson/Devante Harris due to street agents and this is ahem, well-known. If you research it, you will find it - being nice to you…it is out there.

“We” are not “surprised” to find A$M resorting to $EC-style cheating techniques.

It’s hard to find too many falsehoods in Davis’ comments.

Really? Do you actually think that Gideon played for “political” reasons? Do you really think that Texas deliberately stashes WR recruits?

His comments were dumb as hell, but some Texas fans want to give him a pass because they think Gideon sucks too.

ColoradoAg - I would imagine that Gideon AND his family probably didn’t find his remarks so amusing.

I really don’t understand the continuous bashing of this kid. Im pretty sure, if he was one of our sons, that we would start copping a real attitude about it. All I can say is that the coaches must have liked him - he was a 4 year starter.

“They have a pre-meditated roster …”

Sean Connery and his gang of Donovan clones laugh at your meditation skills while the black obelisk from “2001: A Space Odyssey” sings all your favorite Philip Glass.

Your argument is invalid.

I’d be more concerned about my own fan base continuously bashing me than an 18 year old via tweets.

Gideon started for a major program. He isn’t exempt from criticism. No one was better at showing up late to a tackle and then talking shit.

Give him a pass, folks. The kid obviously has the emotional maturity of a 12 year old and the intellect of a Mongolian Koi.

That’s just the kind of ichthyophobic sentiment I would expect from the Brazos Bottomfeeders. Clearly, the young man is more like a Vietnamese fighting fish challenging himself in a small hand mirror. COME OUT AND FIGHT LIKE A FISH!!! QUIT HIDING BEHIND THAT SMALL HAND MIRROR!!!

One fish enters, sushi leaves.

Nice “inside” story about the recruitment of DGB, with a hint of $EC underhandness in the way they were approached by an Arkansas booster with some loose cash, since we’re talking about agents here (this article sounds more like an over-zealous booster).

 Interesting to see how the top five programs appeared to the Beckhams in particular … Mack was apparently the guy they trusted most but the article makes it clear that distance was the key, though the bit about having to spend too much at Vince’s steakhouse on their visit was not good for us.

Bama was dropped early, Kiffen just kept coming back even when he was told ‘no’. Arkansas was the leader for a long time but Mizzou won him over on the official visit … Mack was e-mailed ahead of time about the final decision but neither Petrino or Stoops were (they don’t come off too well).

hxttp://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/Dorial-Green-Beckham-inside-the-chase-for-nations-top-recruit-020112 (drop the x in hxttp)

Should have mentioned that the article I linked to above seems to strongly imply that OU coaches turned in Petrino for the “incidental bump” at the ARMY game …

Matt Davis = No class;

It’s disappointing that so many aggies are either making excuses or giving him a pass simply because he’s on their team. Growing up I felt like A&M stood for something. My older sister went there and it was my first love as a kid. I grew up and didn’t choose to attend A&M, but my respect and admiration of the qualities that aggies claimed mattered never changed. However, over the last couple of years, and especially through the realignment circus, I’m seeing the Ags in a different light and I’m not impressed. They are looking conspiratorial, hypocritical, and downright ignorant A LOT and I hate seeing it. And these are my friend and relatives. It’s disheartening. Maybe their exodus to the SEC will put everything back in perspective for them.

The whole world has gone to hell.

Come on. Relax.

Desert Fox:

Considering that the article was editorially processed through the crap-wagon that is Thayer Evans, imagine how much better Mack probably came off to the Beckham….And how much worse Stoops probably looked.

ColoradoAg - I agree with you. Our own fan base has been merciless in their criticism of him - and he is one of ours.

Yes, he plays for a major program but he is not a paid professional. He is just a college player and criticism’s of him should be tempered by that realization - particularly from our own fan base.

As far as Davis - it seems that Sumlin has taken him in hand and straightened him out - as he should have. There are sensible aggies that don’;t like that shit as well as the TexAgs sort that wallow in his crap with him.
We have the same problem with our own fanbase as well, sometimes. I take that back, NO ONE is like TexAgs. :-)

Speaking of fish, assuming both barrel and buckshot (your parents put it together!):

“Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.” - Proverbs 26:20

Hmmm, Proverbs you say? Let us turn to the verses immediately preceding the aforementioned:

Like a maniac shooting
flaming arrows of death
is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, "I was only joking!"
- Proverbs 26:18 - 19

He’s a maniac, maniac, I sure know. And he’s tweeting like he’s never twit before…

Bigdukesix:
I thought his point about Gideon was that he wasn’t very good, which is verifiably true.
Do we stash WR’s so other programs can’t use them? Of course. We would rather the good players offer us depth than develop into stars against us. It’s not like we stop when we think we have the big stars, we get insurance.
I agree with colorado ag. It’s not like Aggie recruits from 10-20 years ago wouldn’t have said some of the same things if they had twitter accounts.
