  1. Back to JUCO DE Tui Talia (Washington Commit). Rivals has this kid with a Nebraska offer (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Tui-Talia-145980), but I can not find an offer confirmation anywhere else. Anyone know if his holds a Nebraska offer?

      They tried all kinds of punishments to fix the fumble problems over the past few years. Had little success. In the end it boils down to the players taking responsibility for their performance. Looks like Mr. Finnin has bought into that. Good to see.

      Knap, that's not quite how behavior works. Yes they have to take responsibility, but there are also things that can be done to shape it.

      We own it by virtue of doing it big before everyone else, but OSU and Bama have topped us in recent years.

      Oh gawd, please no. Maybe it could be like when we were 7-0 year round.

      Are you ready to cut a RFr and two So at OL? What does that say about OL recruiting assessment or development?

      I would think that anything in the Johnson County area would be fine. That would include Olathe, Lenexa, OP, etc.

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Agreed, Huskerzoo. As a new assistant professor, you got to like hearing they put a cap on the number of R01 grants and grant dollars per PI. This breaks some of that "fat cat" mentality and spreads the funding around, hopefully benefiting new and med-level faculty researchers.

    3. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      That would be the hope. they already had stuff to promote junior faculty. Unfortunately granting works a little bit like ponzy schemes. You need to have gotten grants as a grad student to get them as a post doc to get r21s to get r01s. There's still a weird system.

    4. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Grant funding begets grant funding as a student or as a faculty member, but during the transition, it is more about your productivity (number of high tier publications) and how cutting edge and innovative your research is. Not to mention the prestige of your institute. If you notice, not much of that speaks to the merit of your research, so you are right to the extent that it is a weird system.

  24. Facetious support gets annoying to hear.
