[Husker] Honk If You Want to Play DB

[todd strong]

Mark, I will try to quickly answer a couple questions you posed. I am late 
for a basketball game.
Lucky has not come right out and said......Nebraska. I read where he visited 
USC, and that staff has been recruiting him also. This smells of Emmit Smith 
a few years ago. Shows up in red, goes to Fla.

I dont know about Adams position. Hes a role player, he could be helpful 
anywhere. Can he punt?  :)

I think Ruud was incredible. Yes, I bagged on him a couple times, but that 
was obviously Bohl coaching him out of position,etc. My bad.

I am sure Elmaisson said:"been apart of". Meaning coached. Not just seen. My 
source is my own opinion. Yeah, one of those things. His two all-conference 
players leaving tell me something too. The fact he blasted them tells me 
something. The fact he said nobody under six foot could play tells me 
something. And, my last statement, the juco's only have a year or two to 
play? They are hired guns and completely buy into the notion that they are 
headed to the next level. No emotions toward dear 'ol NU at all, they wont 
have to put up with Elmaisson in the future anyways. As an aside, anyone who 
changes jobs 14 times in 13 years, well, hes not getting the keys to my 
house.
