No kidding! If this is an 11am game it will be tough for me to catch it all. Freaking Saturday coaching obligations!

Unless things have changed, at Lincoln the CGD crew sets up outside. I think that there is just not enough room inside the stadium but like I said things could have changed with how they are able to set things up now. I am starting to get this bad feeling that the UT game will be at 11am.

Its college football and I love fans smack talk, its fun! That being said, ISU will probably lose to NIU, that is a bad game for them to open with, NIU is pretty loaded, they play good football and this is the kind of game that is a big win for them. On the road vs a BCS team that in all honestly they have a chance to beat. There is a chance that the line might be around 10 in favor of ISU. Its going to be a close game.

Rivals is in the best position becuase they get to rank kids AFTER they have started to get offers and give verbals. It is really easy to not have a kid ranked or evaluated and then "hear" that he has offers from PSU, FSU, USC, Bama and then go "oh he is a 4 star" Again, Rivals is good and does a decent job but they are like Biff in Back to the Future. They have the sports atlas that gives all the scores so they can win all the bets.

That sounds more then solid. That kid is going to Stanford (good for him) unless the sh#t hits the fan and he cant get in. In this case, with a school like that and all the chances it offers a kid, I hope he makes it in.

Realistically, the post-season ban won't even affect the 2011 recruiting class. 1 year will be the 2010 season which they won't see, the 2nd year will be the 2011 season which they'll either be redshirting for, or riding the bench for. The only affect it will have on a recruit is if they think the 30 scholarships will impact the school enough to put them in a down period for the next 3-6 years (which I personally think it will to an extent, but they'll still win 9-10 games). Now...had the NCAA actually done something sooner, like back in February when they held the hearings...this would have had a much bigger impact. Henderson wouldn't be there, probably half a dozen other kids would have jumped ship before signing day, and USC would have ACTUALLY been punished. This is just a slap on the wrist for a school whose 3 deep is better than 90% of the nations starters. This is a really good post. Also, lets face it, most of us dont look that far into the future and most 17 year old kids are not going to look 4 or 5 or 6 years into the future either.

I dont think it will ever sniff Stanford, the only school in the Big 10 that is close or on par in some respects os Northwestern.

Wow! OU has 3 Rivals 250 DT's in this class. #9 Marquis Anderson #11 Jordan Wade #12 Jordan Phillips Wow...but let's see what they do with them. I am sure they will do very well with them. Its not like OU is known for having players go there and suck.

I think Julious Peppers played both at NC.

No kidding! I was thinking that too!

I dont know about that, first let me say that coaching football for the last 10 years I dont care about Rivals rankings and honestly, I have never met one coach in high school that does. But, for the kid, it is a big sense of accomplishment or maybe even pride. So while there is a possibility that he was upset that he was not a 5*, it probably has more to do with the fact that it was a goal of his that he felt he did not reach. There is nothing wrong with having a goal and there is nothing wrong with having a goal, not reaching it and being upset about it. I understand that rankings can be a goal, but I think the reason he's upset is because he's been having people telling him he's going to be a 5* since he was a sophomore. But I think a lot of players get caught up in the "fame" and start thinking that they're a big deal before they even set foot on campus. It happens lots of players. For chrissakes, Jimmy Clausen walked out of a limo to the press conference where he signed his LOI. Same kinda thing happened with Owa. Look at the article on Rivals if you have a membership about "players react to rivals250." Our other guys like Moore and Turner said that they were honored by high rankings, but they don't mean anything if they don't perform. And don't get me wrong, I think Green is a monster, but I think he might be the kind of kid who could have trouble with a coaching staff like ours who isn't going to give out any handouts or preferential treatment. Maybe you are right. I guess we will find out down the line.

What is that like, as a student at OSU, when they have football games but the school year hasnt started yet? I mean, are the only students there the ones that live close by, have an apt or live in the frats? The dorms probably arent even open, are they?

This kid seems to be ready to move. I dont think distance or location matters at all to him.

And Tenn and Arkansas and Ole Miss. WOW

I didn't think they had a Director of Compliance. That is why they are in the mess they are in. They had two actually, but only one for most of the time. Most big time schools with "big time" stars will have more then that. Especially when you have open practices to the public. When they get a new AD someday, they will probably have 2 just for football and 1 just for basketball and then a 4th one for all other sports. Thats my guess

Per NCAA rules, coaches cannot contact with intent to recruit college Freshmen and Sophomores. No, I know its a rule, what I mean is that its not against the law. I mean, the cops wont be arressting anyone. Its not an actual law, its something that the NCAA is against. Thats what I meant. I dont think anyone could get a ticket for this.

I dont think its "illegal" to call a student that is in college. It might be "kind of looked down upon" but assuming the coaches have had prior contact with the kid, which they all have I would assume, they could just say that they are calling him to ask him "how things are going after all the big news at USC" Now, don't get me wrong, I am sure they want him to transfer to their programs but I have a feeling that is what they will say if they are questioned.

I dont think its slimy when you are talking about facts. If you are making stuff up then that is a problem.

You can read my whole thoughts on the matter here.... http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/43927-big-12-breakup-sucks-rocks/ I don't know where your venom comes from. If we don't agree with Nebraska on every issue than this is our fault? You sound like Hugo Chavez. Anyway, I am not calling Husker fans anything. I said those fans who were gloating were not being very Nebraska-like. I stand by that comment. Sorry for having high expectations of Husker fans. I have them because most Nebraska fans give me a reason to. You can get the rest of my thoughts and pre-responses in the link... ok

Sooo, I guess we can't just play football without "hating" someone??? Nope, the "classiest fans in college football" have to HATE.... THAT sucks.. sorry. Wow, get over yourself. Its not real hate. Its kind of like when we say "I hope we kill team A" guess what, we dont really want to kill them.

Soooooo, if KU was in the same position, you are telling me they would turn down this offer? Get over it. You seem to think this should be about being loyal, so then I would ask, why werent the jayhawks ever loyal to NU when they needed some help with votes? Hell, are you trying to tell me that Bill Self doesnt bring in "prop 48" guys on that basketball team? I know he does, I am an illini fan for basketball and guess what, he got his "prop 48ers" in there somehow. You are mad because you are going to end up playing in some weird conference, tough break. Bill Self is going to leave KU within the next few months or if you are lucky after this basketball season. He is pissed about this and will be taking off to coach Texas (if Rick Barnes doesnt get his act together) or Arizona, where they are dying for a guy like Self. So in the end, you lost your conference because you never bothered to help NU and now you will lose your basketball coach because he is pissed.
