  1. I think Manti's telling the truth as far as truth goes, but he's downplaying the parts that would make him look bad. I think it's likely that he's downplaying how loosely he has been applying the term 'girlfriend' -- which explains the lack of hospital visits -- but I don't really think that's worthy of getting all up in arms about. Also, "tailoring" the story is a bit of euphemism for making a ton of stuff up, particularly the manner in which it was done. Did he apologize for misleading everybody with his 'tailor'ing? Probably should...

     

    Oh well, though, this is pretty much looking like a 'nothing to see here....'

     

    Really? Nothing to see here? I wish I could get on board with the people who are saying this now, but I just don't see it. This whole mess still stinks and Idk how anything that has come out the past few days would lead people to believe he was just a victim who overplayed his sympathy card... I just don't buy it and can't for the life of me see how anyone else would feel these "explanations" are even believable, let a lone prove some kind of reasonable deniability. Not sure if this is just CFB fans who have trouble believing the flaws of their straw dogs or a serious case of mass gullibility. Either way his PR team is definitely earning their paychecks this week!

  2. If he has as quick a first 2 steps as his older brother I could see him being a real productive corner. Speed to run with the fast wide outs and an ability to break on passes. Might be a project but well worth the risk.

     

    Corner? I highly doubt that. His listed 40 time seems inflated when you watch his tape. He's no doubt an athletic guy, but there is no way he has the agility to play bump and run in Bo's system. As a weak side safety or nickle is where I think he has most potential. Another Lavonte David would be nice, but that type of undersized ball hawking LB doesn't come around every year. I'm not sure I see that in Drake... BWTHDIK

  3. This might be a dead horse issue but I really don't care.

     

    John Papuchis has no business coordinating the defense at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Tom Osborne and Bo Pelini made a mistake elevating him to this position. It is obvious his player development, player motivation, and defensive scheming are lacking. The man has shown he is unqualified and too inexperienced to take on such a role at Nebraska. This program merits individuals with head coaching experience or the great potential to be a head coach in that role. WIth the amount of money we as fans pump into that school no price should be too high. I have been too patient and do not accept the defensive product Nebraska put on the field this past season as acceptable. It needs to be fixed immediately.

     

    You're right....It's a dead horse issue

     

    Well played.

  4. On another topic. I just saw on the NFL Network that Penn State head coach Bill O Brien interviewed with the Browns and that the Eagles may be interested as well. Ian Rappaport confirmed it.

     

    He stated that PSU may not have been forthcoming about the extent of the auctions they were facing when he took over so he ,ay be looking to leave

     

    He has informed Penn St that he is staying

    this is good. Good for Bill O'brian. Though if he pulls off another 8-9 win season, there's nothing to say he wont dart next year when another opportunity comes, but to stay for another year in light of what he's up against even with offers from the NFL shows a lot about the man's integrity. He's impressing me more and more with each move. Good for Bill O'Brian. Good for Penn St.

     

    He said he's "not a one-and-done guy" or not a "one-pump-chump" or something lol

     

    Righhhht. Thats why he interviewed. Because he is loyal to PSU. He just realized the Browns were not the right fit for him.

     

    By right fit I assume you mean he knows the Browns are an organization in terrible shape right now. Worse than Penn St fb apparently. :unsure:

  5. AT&T Cotton: (Big 12 vs. SEC) Texas vs. Texas A&M

     

    Another reason I think the Rose Bowl will eschew Oregon State for Oklahoma (provided Oregon wins out). No way the Rose Bowl wants to be shown up by the Cotton...and to hear some of the die-hard B1G/Pac-12 fans talk about it, the Rose Bowl tradition is already in the toilet if Nebraska makes it there.

     

    And let's be honest, no one wants to see an Oregon State/Nebraska matchup, assuming Oregon State is still available. Oklahoma/Nebraska would get everyone's attention, and certainly just as much, if not more, eyeballs and butts in front of TVs than a Texass/aTm grudge match.

     

    I would still like to see us get a shot at an undefeated Notre Dame squad or revenge our last Big XII game with Oklahoma.

     

    Agreed. And more importantly, more of America likely would as well. :)

     

     

    Umm, who exactly are these folks and where do they get off? If NU wins the conference they they obviously deserve the spot. If other teams fans can't accept that then I'm sure the U of Chicago is available to rejoin the league. Maybe then a "real" B1G team would have a shot at playing for the Roses. <_<
