I thought we'd already had this discussion before. I think it's incredibly relevant. We can't compete with deseret just buying up all the, um, preferably hued and bred stock. So we take some chances on some undersized or off-colored calves, lance a few pop eyes, and band them ourself. We have to maximize our maneuverability and operate in the corners and target our buys by identifying weights or regional markets currently undervalued that fit well within our operation. And pick up a few nuggets following the big boys through the cornfield. Then you get them started on harvesting championships as the final product.

Really, it's all spelled out by Allan nation in the stockman grass farmer.
"How will I recruit to Manhattan? Well, distance. And the proud state of basketball. It start there, and then daily flights to Dallas, because I'm really good at going out. Like top five good. Ask my wife. She wants me to be happy."

If felix rex wrote a book about anything I would read the crap out of it. More than once.

Meh. I'm pretty sure half of that was Bud Williams anyway. Point stands.

I'm so sick of "the examples" like Jordy Nelson and Aqib Talib, those are the rough ridin' exceptions. We suck at football and we definitely suck at recruiting. Eff moneyball analogies, they're Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). We're not working with a salary cup. :DroppedMic: :UntuckingMyFuckingShirt:  :shakesfist:

we suck at "football recruiting", not at "football".  It's your ignorance of this very detail that illustrates your ignorance for considering the discussion in this post.

I now suggest you open the nearest window and yell at the top of your lungs.  Come back when you feel better.



I rough ridin' love the Manhatter.  He's one the things that keeps my EMAW burning.

We are blessed to have him, and you rough ridin' retards need to give some respect.
