I would say Gates. But there may be more competition at Tackle.

Currently on campus. Eligible Immediately. Three-for-two guy.

The picture is of Williams but "Scholarship Provider" appears to be a third party that helps guys get recruited in some form or fashion.

I don't know about him being decimated but he decommitted 8 days ago.

That and how watered-down the season is now.......

Why is this so surprising? Basketball is Creighton's calling card whereas it's pretty well known what Nebraska's bread and butter sport is. Also Creighton is undefeated and ranked 10th in the country right now so naturally as a result even more fans are going to be heading online to read and talk about that. You give us a top 10 BB team along with no football team and this thread would be many pages long by now. The fact is, our BB team is struggling and we have had some pretty big news on the football side this week to discuss. To be fair, they might also be talking about our football team......

As suspected, he's no longer considering Oregon State.

Was thinking about this same thing this morning. Not that the destruction inflicted wasn't terrible. But to me, it was a necessary evil. Japan wasn't going to give up without being forced to do so in some fashion. An invasion of the home islands would have led to many times more deaths - on both sides. We also could have bombed Tokyo - which had 10 times the population. But it seems that we tried to pick sites that would make enough of an impact to force their surrender but not really bigger than they had to be. Also, I don't recall ever hearing about what was happening between the two bombings. They were three days apart. It seems to me that Japan could have quickly come to the realization that they were beaten after the first one. I would think they could have notified us of their surrender after the first bomb and spared themselves the second one. But that obviously didn't happen. I have no idea if that was actually the case but it would seem plausible. Can you imagine the panic in Japan after the first nuke? And then after the second nuke? I mean, think of the panic in the U.S. after 911. And that was around 3,000 deaths caused by a known technology that could not be replicated. We dropped two bombs on Japan that were thousands of times larger than the next biggest bomb in existence. The panic must have been incredible. Yeah, I'm sure the panic by the citizens was beyond comprehension. What's crazy to think about is the arrogance of the emperor/military leaders who were already losing the war badly but still had to encounter something like that to get them to concede.

My sister-in-law lives on Maui so we got to go over there for a week in March. Took a day to fly over and take the tour of Pearl Harbor. Definitely worth the trip. Spent the entire day there and could have stayed longer. Great visitor's center with displays and a historical video to watch. Touring the Arizona Memorial was something that can't be forgotten. Got to tour the Missouri. And they have recently (last couple years) opened a Pacific Aviation Museum that has all kinds of aircraft (not just WWII-vintage) and an audio tour that gives a nice background on everything. Was a little worried that my kids (12, 9, 7) would be burned out after all that but they even loved getting to listen to the info at the Aviation Museum. Definitely worth checking out if you ever have the chance.

There are a couple each year. I don't think there is a huge amount of dead weight. But having an extra scholarship or two would be handy. I would be pretty surprised if Dwayne Johnson was back for a fifth year. Other than that, it would mainly be Zach Hannon and Adam Taylor, though Taylor plays on special teams. Those are really the only three likely possibilities this year. And I don't think there are many real strong candidates for next year. Other than the guys who transferred in and had to sit out (Lee and Williams), the only other Junior-to-be who didn't really get on the field this year was Peyton Newell.

I'm sure that was probably part of it. But I was under the impression that the main reason was the US was really the only opposition Japan would face in their effort to conquer the western pacific. So their thinking was if they could severely cripple the US fleet, they could take what they wanted basically unopposed and be in total control of the area before the US could recover enough to launch a significant counter-strike. That would have been really bad. On any number of levels.

Agree - that's usually a red flag for me as well. The only thing I would say here is the situation has changed pretty dramatically in the last few days with us Hiring DWilliams.
