If a verbal gets stolen at least we’ll have someone to hate for awhile. I wonder if coaches call one another up and make player trades… Hey DickFraud give ya Mike Shaw for a player to be named later in 2010.

Did anyone else see this:
on ESPN
After the article is lists which school in each conference is best at different things. it has michigan as the best uniform in the Big11Ten. ever since RRod changed the uniforms, it’s the WVU uniform. of course that guy has WVU listed as the best uniform in the Big East so…

Ware is small
Height: 6-3
Weight: 367 (I think that number is a little bit off)
You know
If Brandon has any talent…Scraps should think about him at NT (used to be MG) ala Casey Hampton of the Steelheads and play some kind of 3-4 with one of those good LB’s as a pass rusher. Just a thought!
I would love to see that:
I don’t see the defense changing at all tho :(.
yeah, but that was to revitalize the offense
which was pretty crappy. Our defense, on the other hand, has been quite good (even during the dark years…heck, even in 2004, when we went 3-9, we had a top 5 scoring defense http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/natlRank.jsp?year=2004&div=4&rpt=IA_teamscordef&site=org and were the only team not to allow any opponent to score more than 21 points, or something like that)

sorry, that was our 4-7 year

"They're wearing black because they are going to a motherf-ing funeral."
I was thinking of something like that
or that Penn State goes on to win the national championship while Florida sputters out. I mean it isn’t that common for any single team to have continued success with national championships left and right. Heck, even USC, arguably one of the best teams in the country every year, in arguably one of the weakest conferences, can’t even do it.

You guys have way too much fun in here.
sadly it wasn't...
you would think picking your college is more of a big deal then flipping a damn coin…but he is going to Rutgers over West Virginia…so your options weren’t exactly bright to begin with.

Thomas/Morris
Nittanynetwork is reporting that their letters are in.
Breathing much easier now
Hey we aren’t going to lose anybody this year :)
If we can keep Brown away from the Rutgers lucky coin, maybe we’ll get him and then tie a bow around this class.
Rutgers
Do you think Rutgers will try and talk trash to us if they get Brown? Considering we took what, 3 of their recruits…i’m not sure they can.
PSU Softball
Any indication on how the rest of the Big Ten is faring?
It seems as though a lot of recruits are choosing the southern option in their lists.
Not shabby
ESPN and such has OSU up in the top 10 or so it seems, with Michigan at number 14 and PSU at 15. I don’t quite agree, but that’s what they seem to be rolling with now.

quick question
do we have enough schollies for Brown
by my count we have 26 on board right now…how many can we take
and I understand that Newsome and some other guys counted toward last year
but I am just curious do we go the way of Bama and recruit like 50 guys per year or something
We have enough
Four guys enrolled for the spring semester, so they count as last years class.

not really sure what Jenkins meant there
how was the timing better? Because they just won 2 MNCs in the past 3 years? Because he feels he’ll be able to get on the field earlier there? Why?

Zug also looked into the future and saw if he came to PSU
Zug would be running a crossing pattern and Jenkins would get in the way, thus becoming decapitated. So in his infinite wisdom he used a jedi mind trick from afar to steer him to Florida.

I would really like Justin Brown
c’moooonnnnnn
Although neither Jenkins, nor Brown were really “needs”, Brown seemed more “important” for future success than Jenkins, and I told myself before today that I’d be happy if we at least got Brown, even if we didn’t land Jenkins.
Does he really want to go to the sinking ship that is Rutgers?

Not legal of course, but its not like the FBI will be knocking on your if you watch. Somehow it will just close down and that will be that.
But they had RichRod on and its disgusting how much they still hype them up. Apparently they have more ESPN top 150 than us, and are only one spot behind us. I guess they also deemed it noteworthy to mention how many players they have from Florida.

Good class overall. Especially happy to have Newsome after our years without a QB commit. Also nice to see some receivers over 6’.
