    DL David Abiara commits to ND.  Didnt ever seem like we were interested in him.

    Herman had a golden opportunity to get rid of OG, now we lost out on Abiara. Clockwork----u know who, most definitely

    in Houston it seems like we still have too many “essential” businesses that should be closed.  I’m working from home, so I mainly can see that home services and construction appear to be business as usual. Perhaps the chances of the lawn crew spreading covid-19 are extremely low but they’re all in a truck together. As they spread it among their families, it may lead to one less ventilator being available.  

    i do realize that it’s easy for me to be saying that when my company is still paying me a full salary to work from home. If they told me that the only option to get paid was to be at the office, admittedly I might go in.

    i also drove by a park on a trip to the pharmacy on Thursday. The walking paths were packed and I saw at least a few picnics.

    Same for me, I still get my pay since I work from home anyways.  My wife and I take our two daughters for a walk on the community trail every afternoon. Saw some young teens playing HORSE, wearing gloves, at the community bball courts that the HOA said was closed.

    Those walks are the only thing that gives us a piece of normalcy in our days.

  3. I don't get why Cal, utah, oregon st, washington state and even colorado get a pass for a merger.  If we are trimming down from the current conferences, Iowa St on paper is better than those schools in sports generally.

    SC, ucla, asu, az, uw, or, stan, utah

    UT, TT, ou, okie, Iowa St, kansas, ksu, TCU

    If Nebraska really wants back they can take TCUs spot..let UT/SC decide if colorado is a better take than Utah.

    Yes - He might have been born in San Antonio. His mom is from there and her side of the family is still there. 

    based on Suchomel's last podcast, he's always liked Texas but didn't know that they recruited out of state... that said I believe he has CBs to Bama.

    IT Humidor - recruiting bit (Wells/Nahlin)

      Hide contents

    While we expect the staff to continue making out-of-state overtures in recruiting, there’s a common belief that it will be tough to get players to leave far from home.

    Personally, I think it’s a little too early to buy into that, but they have to get as many out-of-state targets on campus as possible whenever allowed to have a chance.

    The good news is the staff was able to gain footing or cement it’s place with a number of instate priorities before the virus hit the fan.

    Instate guys we feel confident calling priorities are:

    QBs Sawyer Robertson and Garrett Nussmeier
    RB Camar Wheaton and LJ Johnson
    WR JoJo Earle
    TE Elijah Arroyo and Landen King
    OL Team Brockermeyer and Bryce Foster
    DL Landon Jackson, Shemar Turner, Jordon Thomas, Clayton Smith
    LB Terrence Cooks
    DB Ishmael Ibraheem, Andrew Mukuba

    This isn’t an official list and it isn’t to say they don’t want other prospects.

    We do think emphasis will be placed a little more on instate prospects.

     

    wow what an update, IT!!  

    I would like to Bash it but hell man I need any info, even if it's a no shit update, thanks for posting this Ricky.

    No oos options will be a problem for us at db. No relationships built with 2nd tier options in state which means we must land the top of our board. If we don’t, it will look like wr in 2020. Chasing projects at the last minute.

    Means the staff has to do what it can to get atleast one of Ibraheem or Washington in this class.  2022 class is stacked with DBs, but we need atleast one of those players for 2021 .

    North:   TCU, OU, OSU, KU, KSU, ISU, WVU
    South:  BU, UT, TTU, UA, ASU, USC, UCLA

    North schools have a media/recruiting presence in DFW via TCU.  They also get the cross-over games in Texas and CA for recruiting exposure.  OU has the division game with TCU and a permanent cross-over game with UT.  I think with the money, you could get everyone to sign off on it. 

    Long term, Nebraska is obviously a better fit in this alignment than WVU.  So maybe we see what we can work out on that front if we can make the PAC raid part happen first.  That move back to the Big 12 is not such a hard sell with the Huskers once you have USC on board.  Conference games in both Texas and CA, and a renewed annual game with OU, is their dream outcome.  

    This is the best set up I've seen if we only add 4 schools.  With a 9 conference game schedule, 6 vs division, 1 permanent (ou), and 2 cross divisional games. It would be nice if aggy came back to the table to renew the turkey day series, if not bu or tech will fill that black Friday game.

    Yeah, that would be an issue, I do not remember how I had all the teams set in XII south (& PAC south) to keep that game intact...

     

    It's tough without actually having SC plus 7 of their friends in one division, while UT and ou with six others in the other.  I also think SC, OR want the money and they will bolt if they hear the number they want.  So even if they bring 4 others to bring the total to 6 ex Pac schools.. the divisions will be wonky. It's why I feel that the best case scenario is for SC and UT/ou decide to create a new conference which takes 8 of the best Pac schools and 8 of the best Big 12 schools.. keep them in their respective divisions.

    My idea:

    PXC north -
    Washington
    Oregon
    California
    Utah
    Colorado
    Oklahoma State
    Kansas
    Iowa State

    PXC south -
    USC
    UCLA
    Arizona
    Ärizona State
    Oklahoma
    Texas
    Texas Tech
    TCU

    how would okie light work without being with ou?  Play 9 conference games, 7 games in the division, Bedlam and only 1 cross divisional game? So play Texas once every 7 years?

  10. Yep..  Bring SC, UCLA, AZ, ASU.  I doubt the current Big 12 breaks up.. 

    What's gonna suck is the division making..  If the three Texas schools pair up with those 4 coming from the Pac..Have a feeling ou would bitch and whine.

     

    BTW if indeed no way we'd ever join the SEC mantra is true.. I still would love to add Tulane.
