'SkersRule

One coach has 38 wins in four years and the other had 25--everything else is merely superfluous.

This quote in that article, specifically in bold red, will raise NCAA's eyes. It's not illegal for them to get him a job. It may skirt the boundaries of ethical, but it's not illegal. Now if they pay him more than what is normal for the position, or pay him to sit around and do nothing then it becomes illegal.

Nothing will change with the way Alabama, LSU and other schools recruit. If the SEC was really serious about stopping oversigning they'd adopt a Big 10 style policy. For the record the Big 10 states that a school can only sign the number of players leaving +3*. If in a given year there are 17 players leaving, say 14 have exhausted their eligibility and 3 are leaving early to go to the NFL that means that the following recruiting class is limited to 17 new signings. * Signing 3 more for a total of 20 in my example is allowed if certain conditions are met. For instance a team must be able to document the precise reasons why they are signing 20 instead of the allowed 17. Then it must pass an official Big 10 compliance review. Suffice it to say, the Big 10 is exceedingly strict in their monitoring and policing of recruiting and over-signing and the SEC merely looks the other way. Call me cynical but it is my opinion that the new SEC rule limiting class size to no more than 25 will have the same effect as a no jaywalking sign.

Trust the coaches is exactly right. I saw film of Alexander and was underwhelmed to say the least. I'd feel better about this kid getting offered if at the minimum he had several mac scholarships in hand. But he doesn't. The kid had one offer from Toledo. Well Toledo and Nebraska.

I've seen film of Whitaker and the kid is a mauler. He may be going up against lesser competition though because I'm not real familiar with the high school classification in California. One thing I do know is that this kid is tremendously agile and gets to the 2nd level very quickly. And as for the film I saw, I thought he worked at IHOP because he was serving up pancakes on every snap.

Harrison Beck's mom would certainly disagree with you.

The best way to hide something is to put it out there in plain sight. Of course in SEC terms this is business as usual.

51 was seen at a bar in Aspen shouting to everyone that we landed on the moon. How dare you soil my good number. It was already soiled and by the looks of it you had corn with your dinner.

Okay seriously...those people can NOT be that dumb! Can they? Couldn't name two of the founding fathers, didn't know when we celebrate our independence, etc.

I personally don't care. He's the host of a tv game show, not a surgeon, engineer or some other profession where he has actual responsibilities to the general public.

It is now the off-season so let's play a game of looks like. Most of you are probably aware of how to play but in case someone isn't, it's quite simple. I'll post a picture and then you post a picture of what resembles what I posted. Let's see the twisted, funny road this thread takes.

What are you trying to say here, fro daddy?... I think he's trying to say that unless Nebraska has success reminiscent of the mid '90's some of our fans will view the team as a failure. Further, I think he's saying that while our season could have been better it certainly wasn't as bad as some of the more negative people complained about. And finally, people need to understand that getting to 9 wins every season in college football is practically unheard of outside of Nebraska and a 9 or 10 win season is nothing to sneer at.

I'm glad someone else mentioned beer sales! Think of how much additional revenue could be generated with beer sales?!

I'm quite curious where you guys get the "Tmart doesn't have the mental ability to read & beat defenses". The crowd always sagely agree to it and move onwards but it's wayyyyyy over my head. I honestly didn't see that this year so help me please? What the heck it that based on? Anything factual at all? Everything I've heard is just the opposite and that's precisely why he buried Carnes this year. Maybe that's all wrong and Beck & Bo are just stupid? As far as "beating" defenses it sure seems it would be glaringly obvious to even the most casual NU fan that our Oline stuffed with walk-on players had their problems beating many Dlines this year (duh!) & our wrs weren't exactly J. Rice or F. Biletnikoff catching the ball (just like last year.....and the year before) to say the very, very least. Do ya think that just might have something to do with it? At minimum I would think watching SuperRex breaking about 800 tackles behind the LOS this year might give a small clue? A very tiny clue maybe? But it's really just Tmart being unable to read or beat a defense.....gotcha. Again, please help me with understanding that. Thank you, my kind sir. Regarding Taylor Martinez: 1. Too often he will stare down his primary receiver. 2. If he has to throw the football more than 20 times a game he's good for at least one or two interceptions. In the Capitol One Bowl against South Carolina Taylor threw an interception as the first half was coming to a close. It was a pass that should never have been thrown because, simply put, the WR wasn't open. 3. He has not, to this point, demonstrated an effective ability to win a game throwing the ball. In fairness to point #3 though I do wonder what Taylor would be like if our wide receivers could actually catch the ball. I read this on another Husker site and I whole-heartedly agree: Taylor Martinez wouldn't start at QB for any other college football team. He's a WR trying to play QB.

Very nice!

Todd Peat and Tarriq Allen. One was highly rated and recruited and the other flew under the radar. Peat needs to live up to the hype and Allen needs to prove he's worthy of a scholarship.

Fricking so wrong but also damn hilarious! Which is why I selected it for my avatar.

Nebraska will probably have 9-10 wins max based on nothing more than talent as long as Taylor is the starting QB. He just doesn't have the arm or mental ability to read and beat defenses.
