Ok so... what do Starkville and Oxford have that Lincoln doesn't?

Once again, I don't know why all of the butthurt in this thread is directed at me. I'm simply the messenger. I can't even count how many times I've heard Nebraska fans say that recruits don't want to play for Nebraska simply because there's nothing to do in Lincoln.

So take some ownership in your statements or leave it alone. Im not saying this to you im saying it for a friend.

I take complete ownership. My belief is that geographical location does not matter, if you have a coach that kids want to play for. I'm entitled to my opinion. I may not agree with everyone else's opinions, but I respect them all. Others want to hurl insults and act like juveniles. In the end, we are all Husker fans who all have the same vision. Why some Husker fans want to argue with others is something I'll never comprehend.

When someones opinion is controversial at best, people are gonna argue. To say geography doesn't play a role in recruiting is ridiculous. Mom and Dad, economics, weather, academics, distance from home, the staffs history of putting people in the league. All these things play into recruiting. If they didn't then coaches and staffs wouldn't play up these things as advantageous where it applies. Just like we use tradition here. And runzas!

You've been plainly shown multiple times why your comparison to Nebraska and the two Mississippi schools' programs is not an accurate one. The point you're making above is clear, but your original post didn't really make any sense.

That's because my OP is based on what I've heard from OTHER Nebraska fans over the years. That isn't my own opinion.

I don't understand the butthurt here. People are just pointing out that you are wrong. Where a School is located matters. If that hasn't been proven to you in this thread, then either you're not paying attention or choose to close your eyes to reality.

Not sure what "butthurt" you're referring to. Why this thread seemed to put sand in so many people's vaginas is beyond me.

Well, you're wrong. So why don't you admit it and move on.
This whole thread is totes stupid.

So you mean to tell me that if Nick Saban came to coach at Nebraska that our recruiting classes wouldn't be Top 5 year in year out??

The point you are missing is that there isn't that many Nick Saban's. And of all the Nick Saban's out there, they are all gainfully employed.

I stand by my theory that if someone like Meyer or Saban or Tressel or the like came to coach at Nebraska, the players would flock to Nebraska. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

And there is a big reason why none of those coaches are at Nebraska.
Urb has said that he would have ni interest in this job.

I understand that. My point is that if one of those elite coaches DID come to Lincoln, the top recruits WOULD come.

Well, they're wrong too. If they paid attention and listened to what recruits say about Nebraska, it would clarify things for them. But, I'd be shocked if any of them would understand anyhow.

 

[The Nebraskan Assassin]

I just don't understand how people can deny it. If Bill Cowher came to Lincoln to coach, you mean to tell me that our recruiting classes wouldn't be any better? Come on.

My entire point, exactly. However, I stand by my belief that kids will go to play for an established coach, no matter where the school is located.

Come on now. From the mid 90s until Saban arrived, that program was garbage. Saban resurrected it, whether you care to admit it or not, just like he did at LSU.

Garbage eh? That period of ten years that you're describing included three top 10 finishes, SEC championships and BCS bowls.

So you mean to tell me that if Nick Saban came to coach at Nebraska that our recruiting classes wouldn't be Top 5 year in year out??

You mean to tell me that our classes would? You're discrediting people for opinions and then making outlandish statements that are founded completely in conjecture without any actual evidence or support to your claims.

I understand that. My point is that if one of those elite coaches DID come to Lincoln, the top recruits WOULD come.

Again. You create a thread blasting people for having the opinion that location matters a lot in college football recruiting, which, I might add, has been visually proven right before your very eyes, yet you continue to deny it, and then you make an even more absurd claim to opinion such as the above, without any supporting evidence at all.

Do you have some kind of proof that he knows how to recruit?

 

[NebraskaHarry]

Location has nothing to do with it.

What a giant pile of horsesh#t.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Saban and the like could coach at Alaska and kids would flock there to play.

And the pile just grew...

Yes. Bob and Tom couldn't do it either.

You're confused because my point flew right over your head. Just because people disagree with you (because your point is flat out wrong) doesn't mean THEY are "butthurt" or have "sand in their vaginas".

Those two terms thrown out at people who disagree with you is a clear sign that you have made an outlandishly preposterously wrong statement and you obviously have not come anywhere close to accepting that.

People pointing out your error doesn't mean THEY are "butthurt" or have "sand in their vaginas". It simply means you are flat out wrong and making the claim over and over again doesn't some how miraculously make it correct.

I'm not "butthurt" or have "sand in my vagina" by saying that. I'm simply stating fact.

That is called the exception, not the rule.
