Have you proctored an ACT/SAT before? I don't ever remember doing it...I have had teaching friends that have and I think they got paid like 40 dollars or something like that...they liked that part of it! Have you had the chance to do it? I actually have, a couple times; I also used to tutor for the ACT, too. It's still a very archaic process; I'm surprised the ACT board hasn't moved forward to try and modernize a bit. It's the most boring day of the year, either; proctors can't anything that would distract them, so it's 4.5 hours of nothing but walking around. I broke my step record 3 times over during the April test this year.

It's not a culture issue at Nebraska. It's a much larger culture issue with that generation.

He actually lead the country in hurries when he tied his left shoe in a double knot and had two fingers cut out of his right handed glove.

What in the blue hell did McCain just do?

I don't necessarily buy that. He's a clear back-up plan, but they shot for the moon with Gunnell; he's going to be the #1 or #2 QB in next year's class. Duggan will still be a top 10-15 QB when it's said and done, though. And I don't buy Riley is trying to win locally by making a top 10-15 QB 50 miles away the backup plan. Are you suggesting that it is better to take a kid that is a dozen spots lower because he is in the radius or are you saying that MR is not focusing on the radius as his #1 priority? I personally think that a blend of the two are very important. I'm not saying either of those things. I am saying that offering a kid within the radius as a back up plan because you failed at getting a Texas player does not equate to "winning local recruiting battles." If he signs with Nebraska, it most certainly does. Then offer the kid in the first place. And in addition-Is this kid worth not taking a 2018 QB? Because that's where we are with these decisions SMDH. And no. We need a 2018 kid now.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. LttP is solidly top 3 for me, and I still have a soft spot for the first two NES games.

I'm not sure it happened, was just an idea. Reading the tea leaves, that's almost certainly what happened.

Well, like I said, the staff has been in constant contact with Duggan; Langs has visited him multiple times, and he's been in Lincoln multiple times. This case is almost "damned if you do, damned if you don't": if the staff had clear inroads with a player of Gunnell's caliber, and chose to prioritize a recruit that is closer in proximity but lower in talent, the argument would be "well, Riley's afraid to recruit the top players". All of the tea leaves from the past few months indicate that Riley tried selling Gunnell on being the only QB we take for 2 classes: a dangerous gambit that ultimately didn't work. Now, we move onto our next choice, who happens to be from the area and whom the staff has been recruiting almost as hard as Gunnell. No one would have thought Riley was afraid to go after top players had they just offered Duggan in the first place. Like I said earlier. Riley has hit more than missed. But this, in my opinion, is several misses in one and Riley should be criticized for it. And I'm not saying he's immune from criticism, but to say he's not "trying to win locally" just because he waited to offer a kid is rather disingenuous, particularly when we have no idea the conversations that Riley and Duggan have had.

That, and they've been in constant contact with Duggan the entire time; Langsdorf has been across the river multiple times, and Duggan has visited Lincoln as well. There was clear interest from us, but the staff was also pretty clear that Gunnell was their #1 target.

As someone who has religiously played Zelda games since 1988, I strongly disagree with this. I won't say I've religiously played the series, but have played through just about every main entry to the series (have not done most handheld entries or Skyward Sword) with WindWaker, Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Link's Awakening among my favorites. Breath of the Wild, to me, is very underwhelming when I compare it to my favorite entries in the series. There's just so very little content to it. It's a vast world of nothing, complete with pathetically short dungeons and all the boring rock climbing and hang gliding everyone has been begging for. Every instance of enjoyment felt like it was ended prematurely, like where is the rest of this dungeon? When thinking of WindWaker, which is also plagued by monotonous travel, I remember being rewarded for my travels. Entertaining, fulfilling dungeons and inspiring settings. I will replay it with tempered expectations, but right now my stance is that Breath of the Wild just doesn't have enough substance. For context, how far into the game are you? Played through the main quest back in March. Did not bother with Korok seeds or many side quests. This topic has inspired me to pick the game back up for a replay. Maybe I'll come away with a different opinion after playing with a different mindset. A lot of my enjoyment was derived from the sidequests and the side missions.

If it's going to be a showcase Scorpio title, I wonder what that means for the "barebones" versions for the standards consoles? Stick figures and 10 FPS, I'd wager.

Gonna be very interesting if Sumlin doesn't keep his job after this year...

I've played games long enough to consider myself a gamer; from an Atari 2600 up through the Wii U and 360 sitting in my house now. Dark Souls series might be the most difficult series of games I've ever played, and I've beaten Ninja Gaiden. The difficulty alone was preventative to getting into the series.

Not a bad backup plan to Gunnell.

This changes things for 2018 in terms of getting a QB, IMO.

- Find an actual power hitter - Find a Friday starter - Loosen up.

Yea, there's no way you're serious.
