By the by, it’s 8:15 and 50 here in College Park. Was 65 yesterday. Got to watch the baseball team play from my office. This winter is odd.

what's crazy about that...

is that global temperatures are at their coldest level in over a decade, and in placed like Circle Hot Springs, AK, they’re setting new all-time lows (the high a few days ago was -49°F)

I think it’s la niña or something like that.

I haven't watched anywhere near as much tape as in previous years (which still wasn't much)

But Morgan Steward has the vision of DeVion Moore but the strides of Jared Perry.

Sean Culkin is a LOT more fluid than I gave him credit for.

I am really really excited about the possibility of getting DGB

But is anyone else really worried about the extremely large amount of decommits we have had this year.

by optiger on Feb 1, 2012 8:14 AM CST reply actions  

Are you surprised?

Recruiting is a multi-year process. About 80-90 percent of the time spent recruiting this class was spent under the impression that Missouri was recruiting them to play in the Big 12.

If this happens in future years, it’s cause for concern. But the events of this year make this class next to impossible to judge in that regard.

Granted...

Ray is a different story, considering he stayed in conference. And as Beef alluded above, qualification issues might be in play.

The wife has laid down a new rule for me:

by GreenRipper on Feb 1, 2012 8:17 AM CST reply actions  

I know you're on the road, Bill, but...

thanks a lot for linking me to damn BON. My god, all the talk of championships…

I think he’s probably naive enough to think Mizzou is gonna become a winner in the SEC.
When they don’t I think he’ll wish he could have competed for a championship.
If either of two routes get you to the NFL wouldn’t you enjoy the path much more that…
involves competing for championships instead of competing for 4th place in a division?
he probably cares more about staying home and being around his family instead of winning championships. I’m guessing that bc if he did care about championships, this recruiting battle would have come down to texas vs. ou vs. lsu vs bama….not arky and mizzou.

Sigh.

by kevinf on Feb 1, 2012 8:17 AM CST reply actions  

My favorite comment

Was that he’s probably going to pick Missouri because his parents want him to go to Texas and he wants to go to Arkansas, so if he goes to Missouri he’s going neutral.

I'm feeling really guilty...

I passed a kidney stone yesterday, and the pain of passing it from my kidney to my bladder woke me up REALLY REALLY early, like 4:30. I went to bed late expecting to sleep in, as I don’t have class on Tues and Thurs, just work in the afternoon. Well I was really tired all day yesterday, so I decided to skip my first class today to watch the signing and sleep in… I always feel so bad about skipping class…

PS, passing a kidney stone is the worst EFFING PAIN EVER.
