Had to miss most of the 2nd quarter, (dang kids) has there been any mention he's a Nebraska Verbal?

You do realize that Southern Miss: a) Had a grand total of 260 offensive yards, b) Scored 13 points on offense, c)Had a brand new coaching staff and Nebraska had absolutely no film to study to learn any of their tendencies, d) Kept switching QB's each of whom had a different skill set, and e) Is a solid team that always plays hard for 4 quarters? Of course you do, what am I thinking? I'm more concerned with the lack of fundamentals I witnessed. Poor/miss tackling, lack of intensity. That's what concerns me. That front four looked just like last year and last year we were burned quite a few times. That was something we all hoped would have been addressed and seen a marked improvement this year. I guess I/we were wrong. Alford is a good QB who will only get better. But Braxton is going to torch that front line when head to the Shoe. So will Robinson when Michigan comes to town.

I'll get to see him in action September 7th against Blue Springs, it is a local KC Metro TV game on Metro Sports and I'm back in the rotation to do stats for them!

I remember that being said about him, but then he hired an assistant (the one from SLU) that is Australian (IIRC) and he is well connected overseas. Seems to be a disconnect there. I do like what Smiles is doing, it would be great for him to have a ton of success because I'd sure like to care about college basketball, its just not the same when your team is, well, not good.

I thought that too when he said that. Hmm, maybe this is why Mack does so little with so much!

WAHusker, I think they did make it a series. I know the description on Dish said Episode 1, plus they didn't announce the final winner. It's probably a 2 or 3 part series. Oops Huskerhill beat me to it

Jason King and ESPN put together a great piece on Coach Miles and NU Hoops!!! http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/8225419/all-access-recruiting-nebraska-coach-tim-miles-men-college-basketball

Red, I was confused too when I first looked at how the tweets were posted, but the name at the beginning is who the tweet is being sent to, not from.

Okay, so if I'm following this correctly... He has Michigan in his top (whatever) but he has to ask another player how many spots are left and the other player will get him the coaches' number. It doesn't sound to me like Michigan is recruiting him too hard. Wouldn't that be the type of info a highly sought recruit would already know from the coaches? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but he doesn't even have the coaches phone number to call himself? Then he says he just doesn't want to waste an official. Doesn't seem like there's a lot of hot interest from either side. Of course what do I know, it's been a long time since I was a 17-18 year old.

He didn't want to go. Why? That is something I do not know. I could speculate that it has something to do with his reticence in front of microphones, or that he just got back from the Manning Camp and has work to do here, but that's pure speculation. Reed, Compton and Burkhead are three exceedingly good guys in front of the cameras, so perhaps that was a factor. Could it be that he's a Junior and the three that went are Seniors?

Can't remember what year, but John Alt had gone down with an injury so the Chiefs needed a left tackle and Will moved over from right Guard to play it that week. I was on the sideline with Rich Baldinger (Former Chief OL and was a co-host on a Chiefs Post Game Show) I listened to Rich just marvel at how Will basically played a flawless game at Left Tackle. He would point out how his footwork was basically perfect. He likened Will doing this to someone who had written with their right hand their entire life learning how to write perfectly with their left hand in three or four days. Will was quite an amazing athlete! I also had the pleasure of working with him when he'd do color commentary for Metro Sports Friday night High School Game of the Week and he is a true gentleman and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Glad he was a Husker and a Chief, nothing like having such a great person play so many years for your favorite teams!!!!! He better make the Pro Football HOF Next Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you had a limit on how many Cadillacs you could sell, and if you sold a Cadillac to someone that could take it home today and return any time before February with no charge to them, then as a salesman wouldn't you want them to know they really wanted the Cadillac before they took it off the lot?

Seems into us but I can not get over this statement "I’m looking for a great fan base. I’m sure there is a lot of schools top that" Want to be bet just ask Lee Corso! And Musberger! And other announcers. This is a big downfall of recruits committing so early now, he could commit to Oregon and never know how awesome our gameday atmosphere is. Its so important to get juniors in for Gamedays this year, this trend isnt going to stop its just going to get worse.....ie 2014 players this fall. The programs that are going to succeed are going to be the ones that have coaches that recognize talent early (as a soph) and get on them early. Some 70 percent of the top 100 are already committed.....before their senior season, thats mind boggling to me. Your always going to have your late bloomers thou. I keep seeing posters say Oregon, but from what I can tell he didn't go visit Oregon he went to visit Oregon State, big difference there folks, big difference.

Don't you have to have an offer to come to the BRW? Scott doesn't have one yet does he?

Im not saying Minny is Michigan but word I Think they are poise to make a little move! My point... Don't sleep on em....word is their coach can sell. Kill did coach in Kansas for a couple of years. Maybe he's got some relationships with coaches there. I'm not too worried though. IIRC I believe he coached at Emporia State which is in, well, Emporia...and Jerel is from Emporia...could be some connection.

You can't be serious. the 24sec clock has been around since the 50's. Well sure, but time moved so much slower back then!

Ditto!

No they don't!!!

How many quarterbacks coming out of high school are a finished product? What says he can't improve?

Well as long as everybody has reasonable expectations... :-O

I thought I read somewhere that his buyout would be reduced if we went back to work this next season. I think I saw that in the KC Star. Sorry can't remember where. If that's the case I doubt TG has a paid coaching gig anywhere next season.

IIRC he said that other schools were looking around too. I know he and Pearlman were saying one school leaving doesn't end a conference but six schools leaving does. I think they also said that those schools were looking at the Pac-10, but I don't remember anybody saying it went back as far as 2009. This does validate to those outside Husker Nation that Nebraska did NOT start this process, nor did Missouri. If Texas started negotiating with the Pac10 in 2009 they certainly started this process.

Where had we seen the 2009 interest from Texas? I have tried to stay up to date on all this as much as possible and I don't recall seeing anything that went back to 2009. The earliest I remember was in 2010 during the BigXII meetings in the spring where Pearlman said that Texas had been talking to the Pac-10. Now of course he could have been eluding to something that happened in 2009, but I don't recall that being spelled out. Not trying to call you out, I guess I just don't remember seeing it and wondered where I missed it. I do agree that UT has overplayed their hand and it would appear as long as the LHN is around nobody other than the Big XII will play with them. This of course may mean the Big XII stays viable for much longer than most of us anticipated. If Texas can't go anywhere but independent they may be able to hold this thing together longer. I wonder if OU will stay as Bevo's biotch as long as they don't go undefeated and NOT get into the Championship game due to their weak schedule. If that happens they may bolt right away potentially even unhitching themselves from OSU, much to the chagrin of T. Boone Pickens. Of course, what the hell do I know!

Very interesting article about how Texas was talking to the Pac 10 back in 2009. http://www.12thmanfoundation.com/membership/12th-man-magazine/featured-article.aspx First I had heard this going back that far.

I played with Brad Ferguson reserve LB from Chadron back in the early 80's.
