So is Cox. We didn't offer him right away and I'm not too sure as to how much interest was there. We also offered as a TE/FB, correct? The coaches didn't like him at LB.

Fantastic, Maud.

Huge news that he made it...for next year. I personally thought Newby's film was the best of all our LB recruits.

Is that Knapp with the long hair and red polo tucked into jeans? Great look, man.

Wow. I ALMOST forgot about that.

This is what I don't understand. I've heard this analysis from several places, including boards and journalists. This description of mediocre talent doesn't jive with a team that had 6th & 7th ranked recruiting classes the last two years, and top-20 two of three years before that. I'm not one to buy into recruiting hype, but how does a team recruit that well have an empty cupboard? You watched Michigan play last year, right? Gallon was the only skill player worth a crap. Replacing 3 oline starters (and 2 TEs) with freshmen (last 2 years classes for my point) doesn't spell success. Same thing on the dline. They will be scary in another year or 2 when the talent develops. Not sure why people are saying Michigan is replacing their TE's.....Devin Funchess led their team last year in receiving TD's with 5 (as a freshman). Not sure why losing a tight end or two spells doom for a team (we lost both of ours and no one seems to be worried) It's doesn't. My point was they are replacing 3 oline starters plus 2 TEs that help with blocking. The TEs aren't the end of the world but it would be better for an inexperienced oline to have 2 experienced TEs helping them out. I missed Funchess, my bad.

Michigan = questionable front 7 on D, average skill position players (including a QB who had 2 good games against bad defenses and 2 decent/average other games), and replacing 3 starters on the Oline (and top 2 TEs). We might lose at Michigan but they will falter somewhere else.

He totally owns a Huskers store in Estes Park, CO now. It was really cool when I found out who he was on vacation this year. Way to represent the huskers well Jesse! Is that the husker store on their main street area? I believe it's called Big Red on the Rockies, or something like that. I think you are right. I was there a couple of years ago. Pretty cool store. Had Husker games on loop playing in the store. I had no idea it was his place, though Big Red of the Rockies and it's on Elkhorn Ave (the main drag). Sorry to correct....just spend a lot of time in Estes, as I'm sure many of us do.

KU didn't have a choice. They couldnt even field a 2-deep last year so they grabbed as many D-1 ready guys for game 1 of 2013. I expect they tailor down the jucos kids after their 2014 class.

Is Cory Cooper sleep talking?

One thing I take away from that video: I will not miss Daimion Stafford.

I've been drinking a lot of Founder's All Day IPA and Kona's Big Wave lately. Both great summer beers. All Day is flavorful but not over powering. Big Wave is a standard Golden Ale.

Love seeing a DT with a single digit number for some reason.

He'll get a bump on rivals shortly.

I fully expect to see Charles Jackson back at corner following this season.

I think this is a pretty incredible link showing us the scale of the universe. Goes both ways from the incredibly small to the uncomprehendingly enormous. http://htwins.net/scale2/ - Just scroll in and out.
