My take, is people think Bo didn't know how to coach defense, when in fact he is a defensive genius, he just doesn't know how to coach kids. Some confuse and/or don't know how to separate the two. Listen to the PJ Smith interview last year, listen to Nate Gerry just today, the defense didn't communicate or listen to each other. In his scheme that relies heavily on communication, certain players were being selfish and not communicating, trying to be the hero and make the big play, instead of playing their role and allowing teammates to make the play. That falls on the players, but it also falls on Bo and his assistants not finding a way to get through to those mental midgets. I think he is a smart man when it comes to football, but I'm glad he is gone. Being a sm mind doesn't equate to being a good teacher/coach and player developer. He worked out OK in the beginning because he had players that were sick of Callahan and those losing ways, that grasping onto his new, fresh ideas that showed results were worth trusting him. He then failed to grow that, let alone sustain that level of play. He lost trust in his players and as it appeared, control of a program. Glad Bo's gone and glad we have Riley. There will be flaws we find in Riley and his staff, but there is plenty more upside to like and be optimistic about. Coming from a high school program that spent at least 15 years going to Oregon St football camps, knowing kids that walked on for him, our coach almost took a scouting job under Riley while with the Chargers, other coaches of mine - one being my friends dad - that met him and got to know him, there is a lot be happy about and not just off the field traits.

Don't think what he said was bad, they crushed us, 3 out of 4 times and the one game we did get from them, they were rolling us to start out. That comeback was the best/worst case scenario, their offense came out in the CCG not looking back and ensuring they'd stomp us. I'm glad he said it, truth stings, but that's just good fodder and earned himself a target. Just hoping the blackshirts can rise to occasion and put him on his a** all day.

Is four years of foreign language the same as four semesters? I only took foreign language junior/senior year of high school and that was sufficient enough to bypass any college foreign language courses.

I just went to the uber and lyft websites and was able to get a ride estimate from our hotel in Hallandale Beach. Good to know, thanks for that. I let my old man check into it and he came up empty.

I have no reason to doubt you and I'm sure that .2 is an incredibly small window to miss by, but by any chance you know or can put in perspective what that .2 value is? .2 out of 5, 10, 100?

Brett Favre was 2nd best QB to someone who chose to hunt over play football. He was also traded in the NFL, not exactly a world beater coming out of college.

Latest sounds pretty positive, coming from Sharp and Benning. Decision coming tomorrow. No Alabama visit, hasn't had communication for a couple days. Soon as he came home from Miami visit, he called Reggie Davis asking/reaffirming his role at NU. S&B seemed confident he's in.

Man I like tebow and he did some good things for Florida, but that's a friggin joke. I don't think I'll ever get used to this consistent snubbing of Frazier.

"Losing" him to Indiana doesn't exactly concern me. That WR prospect is the one that stings.

A Lincoln kid.

I agree. I text my UW buddy last night saying I think he'll flip. Their boards were pretty shocked, they thought he was theirs to lose. I was surprised it wasn't UW myself.

Hotel has been booked for a few months, staying near airport in ft lauderdale. Unsure if hotel has shuttle though.

Is there really no uber or lyft in Miami? Staying in ft lauderdale and trying to avoid renting a car.

Rumor going around UW recruiting is he's planning to announce Monday.

Boise St won't be able to join a Power 5 until their entire athletic department is up to snuff, only having football program won't cut it otherwise they would have been in the running for the PAC12, which they weren't.

Next.

so does that make it 44-1 in NU-ASU recruiting talent in the others state? Oh ok, yup, got it.

Little to do with us and what we want and more to do with an ex that made the mistake and wants to make amends. Flattering but unrealistic.

Have a hard time seeing how a .260 hitter at AA is figuring it out. I'll give the age aspect a little slack, but still. Oh well, best of luck to Bubba.

So he copies Riley's "just got better" too?

Prepare for the worst hope for for the best

How is this different than Barry Bonds who wasn't a part of the MLBPA so the baseball video games didn't use his name? I don't know, I guess I'm curious if there is a correlation.
