Posts like this show who has and who does not have a background in sales. You don't win every deal. The best sales people know their closing rate and get people lined up and get in that mention. Getting someone like this on campus when he has been committed to his hometown school for 7 months is huge. It is a win. Walk before you run. Just ask Dubs.

They won't take cotton if he wants N. He is a plan B and is waiting to see what our plan A's do. Our DB recruiting is so good this year that guys we use to be glad to get are plan B's.Don't think that's correct. He's about the only safety they're recruiting right now. Along with the fact that "our DB recruiting is so good" would imply greater than 0 commits. They won't take cotton if he wants N. He is a plan B and is waiting to see what our plan A's do. Our DB recruiting is so good this year that guys we use to be glad to get are plan B's. Cotton is not a backup plan, his commitment will be accepted if given. But our DB IS really good. We don't have to have commits for that to be true. Simply look at who all we are in on and where it's trending. Recruiting is a sales profession. It's a numbers game.

The whole thing started as a troll from RSS back when the search was going. "Journalists" then ran with it and wrote it as fact. It then grew national and it seems Grobe has lied to himself enough to convince himself he actually did have an offer. There is a negative percent chance he had an offer. I'm sure TO spoke with Grobe, but there was no offer. Ever.

The Sock didn't nail anything except common logic. He made a prediction AFTER the announcement of a press conference with the LPD and county attorney. Think for yourself, why would (or when has) a press conference be held with the CA/PD to say that charges are going to be pressed before an arrest is made? All that is doing is set up for the opportunity for the offender to flee. Honestly, I know some people like the shtick and some don't, but this was beyond easy to see coming after that announcement.

..... you realize who tweeted this...?

Ha. That is rich. ... You think the nation thinks about Husker football? This is not 1995. They think about us as a laughingstock, yes. When you think about Nebraska you think about the team that just gave up 408 yards in 3 quarters to one running back. So yes, they do.

I don't think Michigan should fire Hoke either. I mean, it's best for NU.

Considering people say FSU is overrated, they would most certainly be saying that we were overrated.

Yet you at and so many others are tuned in. If it's unwatchable, the numbers will dwindle and content will change. Until then, nothing happens.

What if your only loss is on the road in a close game to the team that wins the conference and you never had a chance to play them or for the title on a neutral field?

Interesting how this seems to be a one-way street for many. Nebraska comes back from 24 down against Michigan St.: They let us back in the game. Doesn't mean we're really as good as them. Wyoming comes back from 17 down against Nebraska: We are so bad Wyoming almost came back to beat us. Would you say that we did not let them back in that game? I would say we did. MSU letting us back in the game does not mean they shouldn't be punished for that. That isn't a one-way street at all, rather, being on different sides of it. As an MSU fan, I would be saying the same thing we said after Wyoming last year.

Even better than this is the chorus of "should have lost" in spite of a miracle 98 yard pick 6 skewing the score and the fact that the finishing play by our marquee player prevented a tie as opposed to a loss. People, please... We won the bleeping thing. It's OK to let go of the masochism for a minute. In the final tally, our losses can hurt us- not our wins. Let's worry about getting more of them. It is no different than saying we should have won vs MSU. We fell on a fumble around midfield on our last drive that if McNeese recovered, could have set them up with enough time to get a few yards and kick a FG. The "could have/should have" lost to McNeese came because of a "should have" won vs MSU. Neither happened.

We have no conference champions yet. yes, but were will you find 3 SEC conference champions other than $$$$$$$ (oh I mean ESPN) You must have missed the part about not being able to factor in conference champions until after Dec 7th so the Dec 8th rankings could look way different.

If TCU and Oregon win out, not necessarily. TCU doesn't have a CCG. What top 10 team would Oregon play in their CCG? I disagree, not because Oregon wouldn't play a top 10 team in their CCG, but if MSU wins, how do you look at 1 loss MSU and 1 loss Oregon and give MSU the nod? H2H has to be the biggest factor at that point unless something major injury wise happens.

Oh, I am sorry. Apparently I am not allowed to comment on a post? And I'm glad that you are the decider of who has a poor opinion and who has a good opinion. You cannot name one pretty, higher voiced female that is doing PBP. Your posted said that if they only wanted "mannish" female voices in their broadcasts, people like Erin Andrews wouldn't have a job. However, that was nowhere near what Moiraine was saying. She said "It's like they think it's not acceptable to have a feminine woman who's knowledgeable about football calling the games. Apparently the only football-related job a woman is capable of doing is being a sideline reporter who flirts with the players. Or being Condoleeza Rice." ... So who isn't reading the posts? It has nothing to do with sideline people. Name one person female in the booth that doesn't sound more manly than feminine.

On camera to look good. Erin Andrews is sideline talent. Moiraine has stated multiple times that her complaint with the networks has nothing to do with sideline talent. It's in the booth, and she has a damn good point. To say the correlation isn't there is, well, wrong. Unless you can provide anyone with females who are doing PBP/Color (again, not sideline) and are not more manly sounding, then you have no case. You're ignoring what she says and framing it to fit it to what you want to say.

Derrius Guice has decommitted from LSU in order to take his 5 visits.. Any idea if this will cause LSU to offer Bussey?

I am glad we showed a pulse at the end, but some of that praise from Herbie and Fowler was induced by the shock of how badly they had just watched us get beaten in every facet of the game for 3 quarters (should clarify I mean offensively here). One of the most memorable plays we had on offense was Cotton falling over for goodness sakes. I'm not sure how much respect we really garnered after that game. To me, it didn't change anything really. We continue to be perceived as a team that can't win the big game, succumbs to pressure on big stages, struggles offensively, and is generally irrelevant on the national stage, perfectly content to languish as a barely ranked team. I'm not saying that only winning generates respect, there are honorable ways to play and there are honorable ways to run a program... but I don't think our performance this past week generated a lot of respect. I would have had a lot more respect for us had we played like that for four quarters rather than just one. You worry too much about what the rest of the country thinks. Guess what the rest of the country really isn't that worried about Nebraska or whoever, they aren't a fan. Talked to 2 of 3 guys that work for me this morning. One is an Oregon St. fan the other is a BSU fan. Guess what they didn't watch the game, because they didn't care it wasn't their team playing. One said it must have been a close game from the looks of the score. That's what the majority of the country sees. A close game because it was a close score. Everyone around the country is not obsessed with what Nebraska is doing. You think Alabama, UCLA, OU, A&M, Oregon and BYU fans are worried about Nebraska? How about the 3 loss S. Carolina fans or the LSU fans or the world? The only teams that are really relevant at the end of the year will be the 4 that make the playoffs. Not sure I can agree with that. I know a lot of people (Nebraska fans and non-Nebraska fans) that watch a lot of college football every week. They watch multiple games whether or not they have their specific team involved. Of course some people only pay attention to their team, but a lot of people watch a lot. And national perception is driven a lot by what the media says and talks about. When we aren't competitive, that is what is talked about. If it's a great game, it's shown a lot and again, drives that perception.

It should be Ameericle IMO Ameeracle....

So because you don't know it means it isn't true? That's the thing about information. Those who have some know whether to trust it and if it's true, those who don't berate people who bring it. The softball thing has been out there for awhile now and it's generally accepted as true, whether you want to believe it or not. If you don't, great. No skin off my back. But it's a fact in my eyes (and many, many other people's eyes). And nobody made a story about it? Depends who you ask. There are people who made a story about it or nobody else would know. And to this day YOU don't know of that recording. Again, there were many people that had already known it had happened. There are people that know that he has threatened media members. Some have had it happen to them, some have witnessed it. And you're blind if you think that the media doesn't talk to each other. And the problem with telling the fans to f off that game and saying they're a bunch of fair weather whatevers is ,well, not everyone was. I was there the entire game. I was wet. I had no voice for days afterwards. I wasn't close to the only one. There were a TON of people there. It rained. We could have been winning by just as much and just as many people would have left. Would that make all those fans fair weather? And oh my. Some people got booed after a terrible first half display? I'm sorry, are you in the business of athletics? Then grow a little bit thicker skin. We're told as fans to get thicker skin because "Bo is Bo" but his can be paper thin? Give me a break. And don't give me the PR is BS nonsense. If it was, there wouldn't be PR people on the payroll. Plain and simple. If you cannot acknowledge that PR plays a critical role in the image building of Bo, I cannot take anything you say seriously. Plain and simple.

Of course. So do most (if not all) coaches. But what does he do when you cut him off or drive too slow and cause him to miss a light? What does he do if he feels you've missed a call in his daughters game? What does he do if he feels you have an agenda against "his program"? All I am saying is we are getting thrown this idea that he is a new person. We won't see it until those moments occur. We've seen the PR stunts over the last couple of years. I hope he actually has changed. It's a lot better for the state and the program. But I've been fooled a few too many times to buy into it yet.

More than some a lot less than others. I am by no means extremely privileged when it comes to information. However, I was under the impression that it was fairly common knowledge by now. It's taboo to talk about and TO did well to calm the storm, but I guarantee there are people on here that could confirm it. And I understand that every athletic department has PR people. The post that I replied to acted as if it had nothing to do with PR. That's false. And I think they absolutely have been looking for things to do to make him look better. It's called repairing the image. Do you think they would have needed to do all these things if none of the volatile parts of his personality had showed themselves?

The off-season makeover is no different than any we've seen over the past couple of seasons. Any PR guy can make you look good when you are carrying out his choreographed actions. When the heat of the moment comes, that's when we'll see it. This PR response to everything Bo does is BS...His players, co-workers and people that have known him for a long time all say he is a great guy and very personable. We as fans don't see that side like they do but instead see the intense Bo when he is working. Maybe, just maybe, Bo is letting us fans see his real demeanor and it isn't some PR bullsh#t like everyone claims it is. How is it BS? Let's just pretend that you entertain the idea. It's been happening for the last 3 years. When the heat of the moment comes, he snaps. It's not just on the field. It's on the streets, it's at reporters, it's at freaking little league umpires. However, when you give him a plan to follow, he looks great. I'm not saying that he doesn't like the idea or wouldn't do it if he wasn't told to. I think he has the final say on everything. But he has a PR guy. That's a fact. Why else would he have one?
