Big 12 star Nebraskans love to hate: Chase Daniel, Missouri quarterback. Maybe it's the baby fat that fills in his oft-unshaven face. Maybe it's his confidence/cockiness as he sits in a film room, predicting touchdowns to come. Maybe it's his "high school defense" jabs at former Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove. Maybe it's that he's unusually hard to sack. Maybe it's that he befouled the football shrine that is Memorial Stadium by seemingly eating a booger.

All-name team:One from each school. The best we could find. Well, to fit our bad jokes.
Nebraska OL Max McShane: Walk-on lineman also moonlights as a private detective.

Texas OL Nicolas Jean-Baptiste: Just cool.

Missouri QB Chase Daniel: So maybe it's the name. Sounds like a buddy of Patrick Bateman.

Iowa State WR Euseph Messiah: Amen.

Kansas LB Sal Capra: Versatile name. Leaves the door open to be a loan shark or a movie director.

Kansas State DB Adrian Stryker: Also the name of the lead character in Steven Seagal's newest direct-to-video classic, At One With Death.

Texas OL Buck Burnette: Yeah, you knew we'd have a "Texas" name in there.

Colorado DL George Hypolite: A better diet than South Beach or Atkins.

Oklahoma K Tress Way: I've got two buddies who live on that street.

Oklahoma State LB Orie Lemon: Motown name. Lead singer of the "The Corvelettes," right?

Texas Tech WR Darcel McBath: Also known as Shakespeare's "clean king."

Texas A&M is a squad full of boring names, so 2008 prospects seem suspect.

:clap

You left out the better part of the article:

He's talks it, then walks it. He knows it, and shows it. He's equally adept at executing the read option and running a pure, five-wide receiver spread. He's a leader, a resourceful, tough guy in an imperfect physical template for a quarterback, and, if Mizzou really is here to stay, the most significant player in the Big 12's young history. Yeah, you just read that. For if the hotbed of talent in Kansas City and St. Louis - and the rest of Missouri, for that matter - narrows its wide gaze just to the in-state team, you have to wonder: Just how many more Grant Wistroms, Mike Ruckers, Dan Alexanders and Will Comptons will Nebraska - or anyone - get? If Missouri can get land the best seven or eight in-state recruits each year, and supplement it with some Texas steers, then NU's climb to the light seems a lot harder and longer.

Note:

Mizzou's gotten commits from 9 of the top 12 player in Missouri:

Dalton, Blaine QB 6'1 190

Blue Springs MO Blue Springs South

Meiners, Jack OL 6'6 314

St. Louis MO Chaminade

Richardson, Sheldon DL 6'4 281

St. Louis MO Gateway

Stricker, Kerwin WR 6'2 190

Washington MO Washington

Wilson, Andrew LB 6'4 225

Peculiar MO Raymore-Peculiar

Darris Ford OL/DL 6`5" 283

Hazelwood East

TJ Moe S 6`0" 190

Ft. Zumwalt West

Alex Sanders TE 6`5" 207

Springfield Glendale

Adam Burton LB 6`2" 230

Lee`s Summit West

One reason Nebraska is hitting Texas harder.

Team most likely to surprise: Iowa State. If you could draw up a perfect Big 12 conference schedule, it'd be the Cyclones' slate. No Texas, Oklahoma or Texas Tech. Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska at home. Two of the weakest league teams, Kansas State and Baylor, on the road. Beyond that, Iowa State played noticeably better as the season progressed. Second-year coach Gene Chizik seems committed to running the ball and stopping the run - good thing, considering ISU has to break in a new quarterback. Don't be shocked if Iowa State upsets some top 25 team's apple cart.

Who gave Cy a writing gig?

I always wondered why Missouri with the 2nd highest population base to recruit from had so much trouble translating that to wins.
