  3. Matthew Svoboda ‏@MatthewSvoboda 10h10 hours ago SI's newest 2015 Big Board: Big Ten has 9 of the top 40 players. SEC has 10. FSU has 4. Nebraska has Abdullah-Gregory http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/10/21/2015-nfl-draft-big-board-ranking-marcus-mariota/ … We have #2 and #25. And we were *this close* to #19.
  4. Thanks. I'd definitely go with jerseys like that. The helmets aren't made by adidas so I'm not sure what the coordination is but that black helmet with the oversized block N would be sweet.
  5. If they were at all attempting to run an inside route I'd agree with you. If any of the rest of your post had anything to do with how the rules are actually written, it would be a stronger case. Actually, the WR has "the responsibility ... to avoid the opponents" so actually they are compelled to change their route instead of just running headlong into the defender and cannot "close their eyes and run blindly forward if they want to."
  6. Could be. But two notes: - We didn't exactly have the greatest passing QBs during his time - We could afford to have a QB coach because we didn't have an "offensive coordinator" According to Gill's bio he coached quarterbacks at Nebraska from 1992 to 2004 ... so that would be among others Frazier, Frost, and Crouch ... Yeah you're right. Who needs guys like that. Who need to be able to read my post or the part of being a QB that is generally being discussed in this thread.
  7. Not really. Here's a compilation of the Rivals and Scout rankings from 2010-2013 and how those teams finished ranked in the 2013 AP poll. Of the 12 teams that finished ranked in the top 12 in both recruiting rankings, five of them weren't ranked in the Top 25. So, over that period, having a combined Top 12 recruiting class was basically a coin flip as to whether you finished in the Top 25 or not. That's not a very good correlation.
  8. Yeah, not so much. They had really good classes but nowhere near what you stated. Just to make sure the bases are covered, here are Rivals' ranking for what would be the "true" seniors (first number) and fifth-year seniors (second number). Rivals' web site only goes back to 2002 so those are the numbers I included. 2013 - Florida State - #10, #7 2012 - Alabama - #1, #1 2011 - Alabama - #1, #10 2010 - Auburn - #7, #10 2009 - Alabama - #11, #18 2008 - Florida - #15, #10 2007 - LSU - #2, #1 2006 - Florida - #2, #20 2005 - Texas - #1 Also, I'm not so sure recruiting isn't the egg instead of the chicken. That is, I'm not so sure (generally speaking) that you don't get better recruiting classes once you've started having success on the field as opposed to the other way around. Several of the same schools are high in the ranking for a long stretch so it's sometimes hard to tell and you'd have to look at a lot more numbers to be able to tell anything but since Alabama shows up in this list three times, it's an interesting data point. Their first NC on this list had the worst recruiting classes. There second one was better and their third was the best. Correspondingly, they were relatively poor on the field in the early 2000s and started winning when Saban got there and subsequently their recruiting classes got better.
  9. Apparently adidas CAN put together a pretty nice uni. Louisiana-Lafayette's tonight are pretty good. Haven't been able to find any pics yet but they're playing on ESPN2 right now.

  12. Still early but that was a big chance that they let slip by.

  15. That was a long time for Royals fans to wait to see a first half-inning like that. Ouch.

  17. Oh boy. Here we go again.

  18. AA was held in check by the #17 rush defense on the road on a cold night on a wet field. He was slowed for awhile against the #69 rush defense on the road on a damp field but ended up with a nice game. Now, we get to face the #44 rush defense at home on what looks to be a perfect day for football followed by the #89 rush defense at home on probably another really nice day. I think we'll see stats closer to Miami and Illinois rather than the last two.
  19. So you're admitting that the defenders were blocked? That seem to answer your argument right there. If that' the best argument you've got, you lose terribly. First, he admits the receivers are trying to "engage". No receiver trying to get open is looking to engage anyone. Next, he tries to claim that the middle WR is going to try to look inside for the pass. That sounds great except that he never even attempts to turn his head inside. Instead after he performs his block, he looks outside to see if his teammate caught the ball - right where he knew it was going all the time.
  20. Robin Washut ‏@RobinWashut 7m7 minutes ago Pelini didn’t give out Blackshirts until after 10 games in 2008, 5 in ’09, 3 in ’10 and 8 in ’11-’12. Gave out 7 before 1st game last year.
