[Husker] Recruits

[Mike and Kel]

Bob,

Yes. It has everything to do with respect for Pelini and Osborne. If you want to continually make smug, back handed insulting posts feel free. I would rather you would have the guts to come straight out and say what you think... just once. 

You can't seriously think that Osborne and Pelini aren't as recognized as Callahan by college football recruits. Tell me what Callahan's great accomplishments are.

My statement is that Pelini will do more with the recruits he has than Callahan did with his. We are losing some of Callahan's recruits. I will bet you that Pelini has a better record next year than the "Great Callahan" had this year.

And yes Bob, Nebraska fans are the greatest in the country. If you think someone is better tell me who they are. None of this " oh, we're all just the same" BS. 

The fact is someone is #1, #2, #3, etc. 

If you disagree with me tell me who is better. 

Mike

I was just trying to say how a recruit in 2007 would view NU.  I certainly believe very very few recruits are drawn to a school based on who is the AD.  Do people realize how long it has been since TO coached?  The recruits today would have been in first grade when TO coached his final game.  His name would not be nearly as recognizable as the top coaches in the last 5-7 years to those people.  And I am serious, does anyone outside of LSU, Nebraska, and OU recognize the name "Bo Pelini"?  That name is not readily recognized nationally.  Why that upsets people I really have no idea.
