ColoradoHusk Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 S Callahan - going West (CA, AZ, etc.) may be easier to recruit kids due to less competition but the cultural difference may be a problem. But, the Pac 12 is getting better, which will hurt that. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 S Callahan - want to get kids who can drive to Lincoln. Plane tickets are expensive. Quote Link to comment
soup Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 S Callahan - want to get kids who can drive to Lincoln. Plane tickets are expensive. Sigh...... smh Again, how easy is it to fly into Tuscaloosa, or Knoxville, Tallahassee, or ANY college town for that matter. Garbage and excuses. Self fulfilling prophecy, etc, etc. You can fly into Omaha, from just about anywhere for $200 on Southwest. It ain't tough. Quote Link to comment

Throw in taking Friday off of work, renting a car, getting a hotel room, and other expenses, it can't be easy to make regular plane trips. People aren't flying into Alabama, Tennessee, or other schools in the south because most of their talent is WITHIN DRIVING DISTANCE of those schools. The new commit from Oklahoma, Barrett, is a perfect example of this. He liked Riley and Cavanaugh, but Oregon State was simply too far for him to go to school. Riley comes to Nebraska, and the kid is all of a sudden a lot more interested. Do you know why? It's because Lincoln is a lot closer than Corvallis and his parents can make easy trips to go see him IN A CAR. 4 Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Wow, we almost had E. Elliott from OSU. which would you rather have? Ezk Elliott, or Terrell Newby/Adam Taylor? Elliot is a beast, but I don't doubt that Meyer would have made Newby and Taylor look pretty beast too Quote Link to comment

Nebraska as a state is just short of 500 miles across., bout 250 top to bottom. From Tuscaloosa to Atlanta it is right at 200 miles. From Tuscaloosa to New Orleans it is about 280 miles. That doesn't include all the small towns in between the big cities that all of the 4-5 star recruits that go to Alabama or LSU or Georgia live in. That is an easy drive to get to the game that starts at 2:30. I leave Atlanta at 8 AM I am in Tuscaloosa no later than noon. I can't believe you really don't think that makes a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, I'm glad you aren't in charge of the football program then. We might as well just say the heck with it, and just fold up the program. Last time I checked there are these things called airplanes, and they let people fly all over the place in just hours for a very low price. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Soup, I think what they are saying is that if you have to fly...it is not always that cheap...Let's say, just for this topic that a kid comes from Florida is thinking about NU... His parents want to see him play as much as possible...his final two are UF and NU...So they start doing the math Lets say the find those cheap tix: 200 each, round trip (that is really cheap) 400 total Hotel for Friday-Sunday: 50 a night so 150 total (cheap again, I think) Food and drink for two people: 100 dollars total (cheap I think) Rental car: 20 a day: 60 710 dollars...for one game.

MichiganDad3 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 S Callahan - Only one who could challenge Bo was Carl and Sanders. Bo listened to them. That makes sense. After those two left the D really sucked. Quote Link to comment
