Seems like a harmless question to me emmitt. My point being, isn't that a pay site, if so, how would someone over here know? Geez, do you still have dreams of strapping bombs to yourself, and running

Because some want to think SMU us our rival. They aren't. We can do much better. If we are going to pick a private school with which to have a rivalry, that school should be Rice.

Is this our 6th recruit to lose out of this class now? I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam Miller end up somewhere else as well. Rick

I'm glad the coaches didn't bail on him after he re-opened his commitment and specifically asked for them to stay in touch.

Welcome aboard Cinco. Looking forward to a bunch of sacks & QB pressure from you in the future.

Me too. Good to have him back. Side note: I've seen more kids recommit to the schools they decommitted from this year than any other year, by far. I think it's causation, not correlation, between that and the fact that kids are being pressured to commit earlier and earlier to have a spot in the class. Many more decommits, hence more recommits.

If we can land Combs and Watson then this may be as good a DE haul as we've seen in a while, and the strength of this class. Howard was originally scheduled to visit SMU last weekend, but he visited Tulsa. I wonder if SMU cooled on him. Either way he's a good pickup, but something I can't help but wonder.

It happens to everyone everywhere except a very select few places like Alabama and Ohio State. Vanderbilt's top recruit just flipped to Arkansas... Texas Tech has had a a slew of decommits... I agree that you want to limit it however you also want to go after the best players you can land and those kids have options. There is a fine line between the two and luck plays a part.

You could have an entire class that commits early and stays with you through till the end because they didn't have other options.

Best example, Wheeler committed with us early -- had he not been given the Tech offer late would have stuck with us.. should we count that as a negative or should we have gone after a lessor player who would have stayed with us no matter what? I have no problem with our coaches going aggressively after Wheeler and I am ok when he decides to decommit to a p5 school late because we did the best we could to land a difference maker. They have a board of who is next in line and we quickly should move to that or look at flipping one ourselves.

Right, but Wheeler is not the problem. The problem is having guys flip to Air Force, ULM, San Diego State, etc. If those are truly the guys we want then we can't be losing them, after they've already committed, to those schools.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      3 times within 15 yards and walking away with 0 points. There is nothing about that that is on the defense. Emmitt is right.

      This guy can coach

      I predict this will be his only season at Indiana. A bigger program will $$ whip him (and his players) into a new job. Speaking of Mike Norvell at FSU, they extended his contract last year (before the 63-3 loss to Georgia in the Orange Bowl). It goes thru 2031 at about $10M per season. But like A$M, they also have $$, so I wouldn't be surprised if they finish 1-11 they cut him loose to calm donors.
