QUOTE(Bias @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) I remember Osbornes last year of recruiting. One of my teammates on my HS football team was recruited by him (Randy Stella) Part of his last recruiting class. Osborne always had decent recruiting classes. Some times they were limited to recruiting because of the option. But, as far as defense goes Nebraska produces with the best of them. Solich sucked at recruiting. Mostly going for in state talent. He won with osbornes players. As soon as they were gone, the losing began. That's why Solich was fired after a 9-3 season. Correct, USC was in the dumps for a period of time. The program sucked before Pete Carrol became coach. Nebraska fans = best fans of any sport. They follow their team no matter where they go. Ever see a bowl game with Nebraska? All red. The ND-Neb game at south bend? All red. Amazing fans. The best part about them is, they truly are kind people. Stanford has a very interesting history. Bill Walsh. Enough Said.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 09:32 AM) I wouldnt pick any of those top three. Because if you have a blue chip recruit, in your mind somewhere you would want them to have a chance to go pro. Those three schools arent exactly turning out the pros these days. Michigan is just as tough academically as Neb and Notre Dame, and have a better football program as well, just wondering why you had them as an also ran. UCLA and USC are very comparable academically as well, how come USC is not on the list, but the football weakling UCLA is? Michigan better football program than Nebraska? I guess thats why Nebraska had a higher recruiting class than Michigan :rolly Maybe, that was correct on offense for a while but, Nebraska going to the passing atack will only help recruit players who plan on going pro. I think Bill Callahan knows a thing or 2 , on how to reach the NFL. Michigan is not a better program than Notre Dame either. The only reason Michigan has done better than Notre Dame record wise is because of Notre Dame's strict academic requirements. David Terrell would not have made the University of Notre Dame even if he wanted to. Michigan has a bigger selection out of the talent pool than Notre Dame for that very reason. Notre Dame and Nebraska will return to glory. (going 10-2 and having the most 1st round draft picks is not the glory Im talking about) The glory I'm talking about would be hard for you to comprehend. PS: Glad to see all the Nebraska fans here,I counted more than a few of you guys.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 12:19 AM) Sucks to be you. 3 national champinships in the 90's. 2nd highest recruiting class this year. Things are looking up .

Nebraska is the only college football team I will root for.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) I love Frank, and everything he's done for the Sox. However, it's likely in the best interest of the Sox to give him his 3.5 million, give him his statue, and say adios. Frank loves stats and loves money. I say an incentive-laden contract would be a better option than adios. I am sure 75% of the white sox fan base would agree with me.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) The Simpsons: :puke :puke :puke I refuse to watch this piece of s*** show that they claim is The Simpsons. In my mind the show has been dead for atleast 4 years now. Family Guy should be good, though it's just not the same as the old episodes, it's still watchable. American Dad is alright. It's nowhere near Family Guy but it still remains watchable. Family Guy >>>>>>>> American Dad >> Current Simpsons

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) Well...tonight's one of those nights I wait for much of the year...and it's going to be damn helpful in taking my mind off this Angels Series. Tonight we get an (incredibly early btw) season premier of the Simpsons (Last few years they've started after the MLB Playoffs have concluded), along with new episodes of Family Guy and American Dad. Since I'm a proud nerd, I figured I'd open up a thread. Feel free to post favorite lines, comments, critiques, etc, if you watch any of the shows. And don't forget about "Evolution Schmevolution"...a 4 part series on The Daily Show this week. End of TV reminders for now. NOOOOOOOOO

Happy Bday Mate!

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) Excuse me Soxtalk Police officer may i see your badge?. Again if you don't like my post use the lil scroll bar. And as yousaid this is a Message board so i have my opinion. Or is it that obnly a few opinions count? And on the Polls, I can forsee the Next one and heck i even forsee who's gonna create it. Next poll.. Garlands Season.. Fluke or Real thing YES OR NO so I guess you have one, you complain about every f***ing poll :rolly why can't you use you're own advice then? My opinion is you whine too much Polls open the floods for a good debate. If the poll is an obvious question, everyone will agree with each other and the poll will die. If the poll is close to a split vote , most people will back up their vote with why they voted for the specific selection . Scroll up and you will see why I voted the way I did. I don't neccesarily care for birthday threads or posts of the month threads but, I don't go in those threads complaining of their existance. I move on.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Sometime ago you made a Garland wallpaper and someone called it "gay", that title could very well go for this one as well. It looks cool, just in the same boat as that Garland one. HOLY s***! What a sweet SIG! Why no mike Green . I think he is worthy.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) Why so? Don't aces go through bad times?? Sheesh A pitcher pitches poorly for a couple of starts and here come the polls and threads full of Panic. Sheesh Enjoy the damn season and stop complaining This is a message board. You don't have to shoot down every poll. Obviously people are voting. So their is interest . If you don't like it, Don't vote. BTW I voted ace. He was good enough to start the all star game . He is having a tough spell right now , at the end of the year he will have an overall, good year. Don't forget he is still very young in age. He is one of the top 5 contenders for CY (even though he has no chance) . That is ace material imo. I talked to a few people at the sox tailgate in june, I think I remember all of us agreeing he is a strong # 2 but not an ace. I have to change my stance on that.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 12:05 PM) Has anyone else noticed that Cedric has been sporting a sweetness like mustache, that curls around the corners of his mouth? He also has a very sweentness-like afro working.... I dunno, maybe he's trying to get into the hearts of bears fans by imitating their greatest hero.... maybe im crazy.... The bottom line is I hope he plays like Payton. I think you're on to something : Exhibit A Cedric Benson at Texas (after the ricky williams era) and Ricky Williams Exhibit B Walter payton and Cedric Benson now coincidence maybe good thing he's not on the Bills, then he'd have to imitate OJ

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 05:34 PM) dude, wtf is your problem? you use smileys to question every poll, thread and now posts. That within itself, is very annoying. If you don't like the thread, move on.
