Awesome news...

Is he friends with Ameer and Rose? This is out of the blue and we haven't heard much from him since he was offered. I really like this pickup and hope he stays

This is one thing I never understand with our fans either. It seems like every team we are going to play doesn't take a step back from losing players but our team will barely go .500 because we lost so-so on offense or defense. I know every fan base looks for the worse in their team but they need to do the same in the other teams that we will play.

Will he get added to the 105 when he shows up? I hope so cause this guy is a great talent and it would be good to get him going.

Jerry Rice used to catch bricks. Said it made his hands soft.

It will be dubbed " War of the Letters "

Who is to say that the players ran him off and not the coaches. The players have been talking about accountibility and wanting everyone to be on the same page.

I just got done watching the ESPN film about SMU and it was a real eye opener on what went on during the SWC days. Texas got nailed with one year probation and that was about it. Every team in that confrence was fithy and they knew it. The SEC is using the same tactics as the SWC did but are being more careful on how they do it.

I disagree. So does USC, Georgia, and NU's 2005 recruiting class. But, maybe the schools whose business it is to know these thing are just all wrong. Yep you are right, Texas A&M already has 27 recruits this year, rumor is they might take 32. As has already been proven.... you can back count early enrollees. I understand that they can back count on scholarships that they did not use the previous year but the recruit still is counted towrd the year they are being recruited in. A&M might be able to take 32 this year because of the open scholarships from the previous year but it is still going to show that they signed 32 kids this year. The SEC does not allow back counting and can take no more then 25 kids in a given year and the deal with USC is that they CAN back count and that is why they can take more then the 15 kids that people( including me) thought they could only take.

They are going off of 15 scholarships a year and not 15 kids a year. That makes since on how they are doing it. The SEC has the 25 a year rule but it does not go off of scholarships instead the number of kids.

But this doesn't work out with them signing 16 last year and already having 18 verbals this year. Which says that they are not following the punishment handed down to them by the NCAA on the 15 a year.

If a school has open scholarships from the previous year, the early enrollees will take up those scholarships but still count against the current years numbers. So if it still doesn't matter if USC has open schollies from the previous year, the early enrollees still count against this years class. They can take no more then 15 kids and that is including the early enrollees that use last years scholarships.

Carlos Hathcock, the White Feather. The guy was a machine. A Viet Cong killing machine. I read about him a while back in a book called "One Shot, One Kill." The other book I have about him is " Silent Warrior ". He was one bad dude...Makes a guy wonder if anyone could do what he done in this day and age.

I am reading a book called Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson. It is about the life of Carlos Hathcock. A very good book so far.

One of you computer guys needs to take the uniform and give it a white N and make the pants and helmet white and see what we have. i think it would be good looking and could be worn all the time.

Who cares what the fans say, what do the players think? My guess is that they like them and would prefer to wear something like it for all games. I actually like them and do not think they are that bad. I would like to see them keep the jersey, wear white pants and a white helmet for the rest of the games and just have the black for wiscky.

Beer...good

I think it is a violation if the jersey has his name on it.

Our return guys are all young...4 sophmores and a true freshman. It will be fun watching them grow over the next few years as returners and position players. They are all play makers.

I have a guy that comes into work all the time to get fuel and his son is a professor at Penn State. His boy was saying that it is going to get A LOT worse then what is being said in todays papers. The local newspapers got ahold of the police reports that were filed against Sandusky and I guess continue to harrass the local police on why they didn't follow up on the matter. The State Police also got complaints against Sandusky and never followed through on checking it out. He also said that the Volleyball coaches knew about it and did nothing to prevent it and that might come back to bite them in the butt as the NCAA knows about that also.

Just got done watching " Eureka ". not a bad series

Fry was a great coach and mentor to alot of people in todays game. Just look at the list of guys that learned from him: Bill Snyder, Dan McCartney, Barry Alvarez, Bob and Mike Stoops, Jim Leavitt, Chuck Long, Brett Bielema and Bo also coached under him. The guy might not of won alot of games but he was a great teacher.

I tried the rental route a long time ago. It seemed to be a no-brainer. The rent makes the payments and ...viola.........soon you have a property financed by someone else. Buy a few more and get wealthier! BUT.........unless you are skilled enough to to some plumbing and carpentry work and basically be "on call 24/7"..........it can kill you. The other factor is that the courts/law have given renters so many rights, you can easily get screwed. I got out before I lost my a$$............. Can I ask what kind of issues you ran into? I'm probably not a good "model" for the average potential landlord. For one thing, outside of basic grunt work like lifting, hauling, scraping, painting and general repairs..........I had to have electricians, plumbers, etc on speed dial since I am utterly unskilled for those types of specific work. And even though I tried to be cautious with potential renters, legally, you really have to be open to just about anyone. Consequently, I was burned a few times, but the final one drove me out. She was utterly amoral; bereft of any semblance of conscience and a total scum. (I hope that fairly covers it). After patiently putting up with excuses while she ran up 6 months rent and trashed the house, I tried to fairly negotiate with her but she knew her "rights". Finally, the Sheriff told me to put up an eviction notice and then wait (I think 30 days....It was a long time ago), and then she was supposedly officially evicted...........but she wouldn't leave. The sheriff told me I could move her "things" onto the front lawn, but if she didn't claim them, the city would and CHARGE me for the service. (Did I mention that the house was virtually destroyed inside? Or that rather than put her infants dirty diapers in the garbage, she just tossed them in the closet and closed the door until it was full?). Anyway, this is resurrecting bad memories. Like I said, I am not a good example here, but I cleaned up that place, sold it for a song and learned a lesson. Good luck to you...... We are very selective on who we rent too. We will run credit checks and call references for info about the potential renter. We will also drive by the current residents of potential renter and look at how they keep things. All of this is legal and does take time but it is something that should be done if you are investing money into rentals.

I own several rentals and have for a few years. They are a great investment if you have the time and patience for it. A lot of people shy away from doing them because they think it is a pain in the a$$ but it really isn't if you are picky on who you let rent from you.
