The new Northwestern Unis are pretty tight http://www.nusports.com/sports/m-footbl/sp.../072612aaa.html

Keep in mind that coaches who dont have "room" are making a brilliant statement by coming out and saying they dont feel its right to recruit PSU players. Bielema and Meyer both came out and said they wouldnt go after PSU players, well UW already got their free agent QB and really are pretty full and OSU is under scholly reductions of their own. Neither really has the flexibility to bring on transfers like that and yet they are making themselves look great and moral by saying they wouldnt go after them anyway. Good PR move.

That post is eye opening for sure.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 10:03 AM) So had a little workout accident this morning using the resistance bands anchored into the door. Was doing some quasi pull-ups when the door popped open and the anchor came flying back at me at about 200 mph. Caught me straight in the forehead! Cut me open and I'm a bit swollen in the forehead and around the nose, but I am just happy it didn't catch me in the eye, because I could have lost an eye, honestly. I did clean up and the blood and go back and finish the workout though (I was only on the 2nd of 24 exercises when it happened)! Band-head, Ive done that.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 10:49 AM) That is the reason I brought it up. just seems that if there was a player who could really help Wisconsin next year, that Bielema would be after him. He's all over their recruits though, dont fool yourself. PS's actual roster isnt all that great, a player here and there but nothing too crazy to waste a scholly on as you have to true up next season. I would say the best targets right now are obviously Redd (USC) a couple of OL (UW doesnt need any of them) and maybe a DL or two. Thats about it. They werent going to be a very good team this year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 10:28 AM) And of course Bielema isn't going to call out the rest of the coaches in the Big 10. He isn't stupid. Sorry but this is pretty funny, he's been proven to do just that.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 08:56 AM) No, i am saying nothing ever happens. The Bulls continually tell us to wait another year, another two years, everything is according to plan. You are looking at one small part of the past 14 seasons. Lebron and Wade left everyone high and dry, sure, but this management never takes any risks, never tries to make significant moves. They fall in love with their core, sell it to us as great, and hope everythign works out perfectly. Meh, I've seen it work out the last 2 seasons. Not sure on the other points though. They had a pretty weak "core" previously and we all knew it. This core now basically consists of the former MVP and another all star in Deng.

How many managers have their uneducated moron sons play such a part in their professional lives?

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 05:50 PM) Other than camping out in PSU parking lots? That info was taken from a PSU blogger I believe, the same people that said this wasnt an NCAA issue and that Joe knew nothing.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 10:30 PM) Just wait until 2014 and they extend the carrot again I dont understand this, are you saying that they only pretended to want to bring in Wade and LeBron to tease the fans into thinking they want to contend?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) Thats some very selective reasoning to say Jerry doesn't deserve credit for that. He WAS the owner of that team...We did get 7 championships under his stewardship. Yeah not sure on that. By that logic he has zero championships and so does every other owner. He has been the owner of two sports teams in Chicago and has won 7 titles as the owner. That just can't be disputed.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) I certainly give zero f***s and hope that Illinois can land as many talented players as they please. I was simply defending the fact that they really haven't done anything to warrant being singled out or trashed compared to any other school. They only were because of this: PSU coaches were down at SMU when they got the death penalty, coaches from PSU sent letters to ALL OSU recruits last season about "success with honor" and never being sanctioned by the NCAA. They are getting exactly what they've given as far as recruiting goes.

My favorite part was Matt MCGloin coming out and saying he is staying "for the team and fans." Trust me dude, they didnt actually want you to stay.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) Considering he also said some players have as many as 50 scholarship offers I doubt he named every coach who called him or is contacting his players. Who cares? I sure dont, just mentioned that he named the coaches who called him in his press conference this morning. I hope Urban is going after every recruit that is committed to PSU. Like I said, nobody outside of Happy Valley will care that PSU players are going elsewhere, they will probably send hate mail to your AD and Beckman.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 03:28 PM) http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/...penly-recruited And........... O'Brien specifically named the coaches that have called him and Beck wasnt one of them. It appears as if they just went AD to AD. Some people will see it as classless, and they will forget about it a week later.

That is a player that Hoke probably wouldnt have recruited, he had grade and character issues in HS but RichRod took him anyway.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 06:38 PM) Sounds like I'm lucky. As long mine is indoors, storms don't bother him. He won't go outside when it's thundering and lightning though. Panting and closing herself in the bathroom and I KNOW its going to storm. Clockwork.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 09:28 AM) The combo of diarrhea and vomiting can be a sign of parvo and that's the danger age group. Of course they usually aren't very happy in that case. And there is usually mucous or blood. If its just food then its probably not as serious. Did he eat anything new? Meet new dogs? Could be an infection. Frankly if he is still both vomiting and having diarrhea id get him to a vet. Nah, my dog gets that all the time. bowl of rice and maybe some chicken shoudl solve some of it. He/She may have just eaten something that doesnt agree with its stomach. I would take a stool sample to the vet to be sure, and they have this power that you can put on food that stops this immediately, but I cannot remember its name.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 08:39 AM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN Dewayne Wise had a .778 OPS for the NYY before being designated for assignment -- better than each of Ichiro's last three full seasons. I was going to say, not sure how much of an upgrade it really is.

Best part about this is Ozzie is going through another fire sale.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 12:29 PM) Yeah, well then I can't eat or drink anything anymore. Its probably better to drink something with sugar in it that something that miraculously has zero calories, at least thats what I was told. Diet drinks have been shown to have cancer causing agents in them, and you have to wonder where that flavor comes from while not adding any calories. I also love G2, but sparingly, there are better alternatives.

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) Nope, I dont really care. I just think that the heavy fine and exile of Joe Paterno from everything Penn State would be enough. I dont see why wins were vacated, its not like they had some advantage on the field. The only thing I can come of that was to hit Paterno again. Either way, the NCAA raped Penn State today.. it was kind of fitting. They had a HUGE recruiting advantage by not reporting that one of their current and then former coaches was raping little boys. Check out what happens to their recruiting classes now. Covering this up had ALOT to do with keeping the football machine going. As for people saying "dont punish people who had nothing to do with it", just about every NCAA punishment hurts people who had nothing to do with it, my team cant play in a bowl this season because of players and a coach that arent there anymore, I didnt see anyone crying about that.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 10:52 AM) Yes, it has artificial sweeteners. And most likely dangerous stuff for your body.

As of last year PSU football staff was sending out letters to COMMITTED players of other Big Ten schools counting their transgressions and bragging about their clean record. Today, their program has just died due to the beyond stupid actions of a few men who loved football more than the lives of children. I feel bad for the victims as this doesnt help them at all, but hopefully seeing the organization that allowed this to continue being brought down gives them some sort of comfort today.
