Couple of good things about the football program.....

Maybe we will soon get a basketball win over UNM and it will help us all feel better. Been so long since we've beaten them in a Big 3 sport I've sort of forgotten what it feels like.

We can win SOME, like we have been, but we aren't going to be the recruiting champions at this point in time. Forget the paying stuff, we all do that to some degree or another, so who cares. All that really does is put you on a level playing field anyways, it doesn't close the deal. Ultimately the kids go where they want. Acknowledge and move on.

The biggest thing I see that we are not doing is 1 - not bringing in ENOUGH OL every year (I'd like to see 4 or 5), and 2 - not using the MS JUCO system more.

Northwest just won the jc nc have 3 6'5" 1 6'4" a little over 300 lbs So's

Ranking high nationally is great. In many ways it's the same, but we need to look at SEC rankings. Ranking 28th nationally but 11th in the SEC is not good enough to get to Atlanta. This tells me that being in the SEC and giving a half effort should guarantee a low 30s national recruiting ranking. That's why Kentucky can get good classes.

Ollie is their best lineman and he has no Power 5 offers. I don't think the others have any offers in D1.
