So does Standhardinger..... I wish I knew how to post a witty .gif to show my appreciation of that.

Man, adidas sure comes up a lot around here...

Vooch pipeline?

Melvyn Oliver-esque move

NO. MORE. COMPLICATIONS. I never want the heart break of another Roburt Sallie again.

I prefer to think of you not as plan z, but as the Omega.

On paper, 2011 looks solid! But the problem there is he was recruiting a player who was never going to be on the team (Starling) and several of the other high-star guys have proven to be mediocre at best (or have transferred already). At quick glance it feels like half the four-star recruits from 2010 and 2011 aren't even on the team anymore (and not because they were good enough to be drafted early). Which means we're having to rely on low-level talent to make up for the high-talent guys who aren't here anymore or who haven't panned out. Heck, Steinkuhler was our last 5-star guy (and my dog could have recruited him to Nebraska) and played out of position for his entire tenure (our coaches even admitted he would be an NFL offensive tackle). That kind of recruiting performance shouldn't happen here. Throw Pelini's whining in the press about how hard it is to recruit to Nebraska in the mix, and I have a terrible taste in my mouth for his recruiting results and attitude. I admire the fact that Pelini has put together the wins he has DESPITE of recruiting, but I agree that the recruiting looks bad based on draft results. You're right about the whining- it is what it is. At the same time he's right. Why come to Nebraska? To play in the Big 10, which has lost a lot of credibility in the last few years? The weather? The tradition? We're getting close to the point where these players weren't even alive during the glory years... Baker got shafted by playing DL instead of OL. It's great he made the switch to help the teams success, but at what cost to him personally?

Stating the obvious about the third team D-1 All- American comment. I see a few people saying he's a "big man" and a "project"- Why? He's 6'7 and appeared to have a good skill set in the videos. I guess he would have probably been used as a 4 from time to time, but I don't think it's accurate to label him a big. I guess I'm not surprised either. ASU was a fit and deep down we all knew it. Hope Timmy can still find what he's looking for!

From reports of Sai it sounds like he's a smart kid with a bright future. HOWEVER, this kind of waiting game really sours recruits for me. When someone announces they're going to make a decision soon, it seems to me that it would mean they have it pretty much figured out. I don't like our chances the longer we wait.

I hope LPS calls it off tomorrow. Looks like the roads are nasty right now. TEAM I'M NOT SLEEPING TILL SAI CALLS

When do we call it a night?

Most important news all season! If you're reading, congratulations!

JoJo and SoSo, Sai and Tai?

What you said. I'd be shocked to lose him to Miami-Ohio. I don't like being shocked...

How 'bout them skers.

My concern with fair weather fans is the hype that breeds them. I'm afraid that excitement may bring unrealistic expectations. I don't want to see fans turned off if this season doesn't go as well as they think it should. Otherwise, be careful hoppin' on!

I really like this Turner kid...

Or a booster. I KID

Are those the white shoes w/ the black interior & a glossy black toe??? Yes, and there's another extremely expensive pair on the far right toward the back. The black ones with the untied shoe lace.

I wonder who was wearing the $350 Jordans.

That would be amazing if Leslee Smith can be what Ravenel was. However, NO ONE can ever be as mean looking as Ravenel. I had to turn away from the tv for fear of making eye contact with him. MI DIOS, es el diablo!

I haven't watched l'ville much this season, but I couldn't believe tonight's game. Mugging them all night is right! I didn't enjoy most of this game because I was too busy asking the TV "HOW WASN'T THAT A FOUL!?" This definitely needs to be addressed.

LOL. Apparently some South Carolina fans are salty about Clowney losing. They had used a robo vote in the past to keep him in it, which they claim they only did because others were using it to try and oust him. Page 27 of this thread someone suggests using it this week so Jack doesn't win... http://www.cockytalk.com/showthread.php?t=187189&page=27 Give it up...Clowney had his time. Let Jack and pediatric cancer awareness have theirs.

I was hoping ESPN would make this a vote soon. Looks like Jack is ahead!
