  1. Ever?! Yes, ever...haven't checked the old scrolls from 1922 and the recruiting classes of Cal, Cornell, ND, etc.? Know your history. Last 15-20 years, relevant enough to say that stars do matter. Heck, look at Alabama, they were outside the top 15 until about '06/'07...just before their first title in '09 and dynasty run.
  2. Only one team outside of top 15 recruiting class has won a National Title. Virginia Tech, I believe.
  3. Do they call holding anymore?

  4. I don't think I'll understand why UCLA is ranked. They have one nice win against 2 losses and multiple escapes.
  5. It's not just 247 that does that. I believe it was Scout that formed by branching away from ESPN because the West Coast recruitniks got tired of the east coast bias in the rankings. Basically anything west of the Mississippi was discredited and those covering that territory got fed up and formed Scout. It's no excuse for 247 to downgrade him and ignore his talent, it hurts their credibility, but it happens across the board. Another reason why we're nuts for getting up in arms
  6. I believe chatelain reads every husker forum and writes articles based on what trends he sees from given material week to week. There is little to nothing he writes that hasn't been brought up on message boards. Good for clicks and comments, awful at original thoughts.
  7. Two things that keep me from downing the Kool-Aid are: We are good for one bad egg laying game that we lose. We can't seem to win the (over)hyped big games on national TV as either dogs or favorites, and we look embarrassingly bad. As mentioned, we have taken care of the ball better. Special teams has put us in such better field position this year, often an undervalued aspect of the game. The difference I am seeing is that players are being less mental and more instinctual. Not mind blowing yet, but progress from last year. It's a young defense still learning the game and making mistakes, but buckling down as game progresses.
  8. Can we get the run game going??

      He says hi again. I like it

  9. Would rather listen to radio static than this broadcast crew...any tips on radio sync?

      I have Directv and pause TV for 25 seconds listening to KLAV 1230 Las Vegas on TuneIn radio.

  10. Where's our analytical nerd to take EVERY "top #" list and breakdown results. This is important, people!
  11. Wow...From Miami to Montana State. There has to be some culture shock there. Bozemans a heckuva town.
  12. Completely different scenarios mi amigoCompletely unintentional circumstances occured though. It could've happened to anyone on the team IMO. Bo is going by the book on this one...keeping things clean. Hint? Fine fine, this is ridiculous, I'll just spill the beans. He wasn't double wrapping
  13. I just want say, I love the all whites.

      I read this is as "i love all the whites"

  14. The no call Offensive PI when Mitchell got chucked before the kid made his cut and made a catch for first down was crap. The play right after the NW kid got hurt. The play where Zaire lowered his head and the announcers (and Fitzgerald) were upset, they missed a holding on Gregory as Siemian scrambled out of the backfield. Also side note, Fitz is pretty whiny himself. Btn aired last years game right before the broadcast and he was whiny back then too.
  15. If that's true about doug mcdermont, he is dead to me now.

      Threw on northwestern gear and did a pump up video. Respect his game, but c'mon, that's trying too hard. What a hoser

      that's pretty lame of him

  16. Am I gonna have a hangover tomorrow? Cause I want one.

      Better get an early start then. Or if you start late, you'll need to mix. I'd suggest alternating tequila, cheap wine, and dark beer.

  17. Oh I remember this being used before...who was the recruit last time this was said? Same one...?
  18. I won't believe that fans/forums are the main reason why a kid decommits, but I have heard kids speak to it. Heck, we love the stories of kids showing up for visits, fans knowing their names and rattling off their stats and how much of an impression that made. Ralph Brown had a great story about that. So, why is it unfathomable to see the flip side? Can't have your cake and it eat too.
  19. I bought into Pelini's idea of "earning" the blackshirts, but it seemed like after they "earned" them, the defense laid an egg the following weekend. I'm now in the opinion of please hand them out, at minimum to those deserving of one, so others have something to strive for.
  20. If that isn't writing off I don't know what is. Okay. I'll play. First, no one is writing off Dillman. But the odds are stacked against him that his best 2 years of HS football came during his first 2 years of HS(assuming he played HS football as a freshman). While he seems athletically gifted, that doesn't make him an instant relevant option at QB. I have no doubt that he will be given a chance to show what he can do at QB. As far as Steinkuhler is concerned, I believe it was his choice to play defense. And there is absolutely zero proof that he would have been any better of a OT than a DT. 0 The main reason I brought him up was that he was our last legit 5***** recruit, realizing Kevin does not have the five star rating anymore with 247 proves that an injury can hurt anyone's rankings, we know this. However, (knocks on wood) getting a guy to sign on the dotted line come signing day who was once considered a candidate for being the NUMBER ONE prospect for the 2015 class out of high school at the QB position (Sports Illustrated words not mine) and discrediting the guy for not playing the past two years is a refusal to see the big picture. http://www.si.com/high-school/2012/03/06/kevin-dillmanrecruiting He was getting offered as a TE like Nick O'leary at FSU, not sure about Auburn. Wouldn't shock me if it were similar. Also, things are MUCH different than they were when he was first a 5-star recruit. He was already behind as a QB and was already being considered for a position switch. There is a reason we are pushing very, very hard for Lamar Jackson. If you have a true QB that you think is a "5 star", you don't recruit LJ as actively as we have. Nor do you practically go radio silence with the kid.
  21. Link or reference please? It was in fall camp I think. Look it up. I believe it was Pelini himself. Honestly though, I read and hear so much stuff I couldn't begin to track it down any easier than you. I recall hearing/reading the same thing. Bo was pretty blunt about the QB competition and dropped that line. Some plays he'll look like a first string QB, others he'll look like a 3rd string.
