This is the stuff: http://www.loumalnatis.com/ But what has this got to do with Heard? Anyway, Scout says tOSU is starting to show interest. Apparently they visited his school and might offer if a "grades issue" is cleared up.

Not much. Plans an official to West Virginia. Likes how they "throw the ball a lot." (Speaking of offenses changing their identity. Guess I haven't watched too many WVU games this year.) Nebraska is in his group of leaders.

And now they report that Miss State leads solidly. I think we'll wait until he takes all of his officials before we read too much into this one.

Getting an in-home visit sometime this week.

Besides the KC and St. Louis TV markets which is what the Big 10 is really interested in. Pick the schools with the greatest TV ratings outside of the Big 10's current markets, and you'll have the list of schools that will be evaluated.

I'd definitely like to see a pipeline opened to that school. They are always one of the top teams in the state though I think it is a lower division. Also a lot of the kids at the schools in the northern part of the state are not automatic commits to tOSU, as that was traditionally a big Michigan recruiting area. With Mich down, we might be able to get a toe hold in that area.

Might depend on the DC, but it doesn't look like they've got any idea who that will be at this point. Gill did a much nicer job of that.

Whoa, Les Miles's seat must be getting close to Blistering right about now. I see a move to Michigan in the very near future for ol' Les. Saban and Mack are cleaning his clock.

Given the recruiting disadvantages that many of the big 12 north schools have, I think you need to continue to take JUCOs. Many of these guys are the ones Nebraska used to take as Prop 48 guys until that got shutdown by the Texas schools.

So now he's sending film to Oregon. Like they don't have Rivals subscription. Does the phrase "sh#t or get off the pot" mean anything to you?

From the kid who a couple days ago said he was gonna take a step back now from recruiting and sort of, ya know, evaluate, ya know, everything and different schools that would talk to him, ya know. ya know, I didnt really, ya know believe him ya know. Ya know it isnt unlike him ya know to go off half cocked and not think before he speaks ya know and make a big decision ya know. Ya know, I would've thought, given their, ya know, past experience, his, ya know, parents, would have sort of cautioned him to, ya know, commit without, ya know, taking time to, umm, think. That being said, everyone please, ya know, wait to get really nasty until after, ya know, signing day. No reason to, ya know, sink to their, ya know, level.

For those that have it, Sportstime Ohio is re-showing the game, Ohio Division III championship, at noon eastern, 12/18.

So Rivals teaser mentions Floyd and Seastrunk still considering their options. Can anyone give us the 411?

N.C.A.A. Puts Tennessee's Recruiting Under Scrutiny

Or a school in Alabama

Ohio State QB Craig Krenzel, Zwick - Power QB Troy Smith - Spread QB Boeckman - Power QB Pryor - Spread and then right back to Power once they figured out he can;t throw a forward pass accurately. I believe we could have a similar list for LSU.

Take it somewhere else

Scout reports he is planning to visit Nebraska in January, but North Carolina currently is his leader.

we blew this game, not the officials. Other than the PI and the lack of holding calls in the Big 12 (Nebraska held several times as well), I didn't really have an issue with officiating. That being said I think we should be feeling great we did not get waxed in this game like the previous Big 12 north pretenders.

Gerhart was pretty good this year as well, but that should really be the top 3. Tebow, McCoy, Ingram are good college players who are playing for outstanding teams.

If Suh isn't the beast he is, McCoy isn't forced to throw it away and he dicks around with the ball another second and the game is over.

Umm, you all do realize this offense lost the starting QB, the backup QB, the starting WRs, the starting RB, a backup RB, and how many starting OLs from last year's team? The same one that finished in the top 20 of all major offensive categories besides rushing? With WRs who can runs routes and a QB who is in anyway accurate (Gabbert), this offense will be just fine.

we were running down the middle of Dodge giving people in the parked cars high fives as traffic was stopped in all directions. Most towns have areas where this sort of thing happens. I think it was 16th street in Denver when the Broncos won the Super Bowl. Lots of pepper spray that night.

For LBs, the combine numbers will be a big deal and go a long way in determining where they go.
