'08 NE OL Trevor Robinson (Signed LOI to ND)

[GoIrish41]

Trip,
Not trying to be a d**k here, but this entire thread is about when he is visiting. I'm not going to go back and count how many times it says when he's coming in this thread, but I'll bet it's a lot lot. Read the freakin thread.

Yeah, I'm sure no other parent in the country helps with their kid's college choice. Do you think his father is helping him with this because he is more wise than a 17 year-old? Maybe Trevor's father knows that this isn't entirely about football, but about his FUTURE. As Trevor stated, he can do anything at Nebraska that he can do anywhere else, football wise. So obviously the education part is a big factor. He isn't guaranteed an NFL career. By going to Notre Dame he gets the attention in school that makes him succeed in getting a degree. Plus, he gets to play for a better team.

Right now I'd put you in the bargaining stage. You're willing to give up Trevor, as long as no one takes away Steinkuhler. Please, stay away from this board when you hit the depression stage. No one wants to see a grown man cry. Although, you're welcome back when you enter the acceptance stage.
Notre Dame fans, get ready to start celebrating!

Theres also a lot of nonsense on a lot of those pages. I figured I'd ask so I would save a lot of time not having to read about the kids dad, speculation on problems at Nebraska and other stuff. Thanks. Go irish!

Sorry I brought up the stuff about Galippo... The person who posted about it on the NU board was saying Weis wasp estering him up until signing day, I just wanted to prove that Weis could have cared less about Galippo.

GS, while you aren't trying to flatter me your PM's, you are making the same point I am. Trevor's dad is pushing hard for him to go to ND. You said the same thing I did. What point are you trying to make?

And play for a better team? If you asked unbiased people (meaning non-ND and Nebraska fans) I would wager heavily that it would be a split vote on who the 'better' team is.

You are right though, losing Trevor doesn't hurt my feelings at all. Losing an offensive guard from the class isn't a big deal. The same as it is adding him to your class isn't that big of a deal. How it is getting made out to be as such I don't really know.

Trevor is a fine recruit, but he isn't a make or break recruit for any recruiting class.

So says the man who spent half his night giving me bad rep and stalking me to other Husker boards.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!

Why would I tell you exactly what happened if you are so clueless as to not see it right in front of your face. Wake up Willie, it's as plain as the nose on your face.

How did I know you had nothing to add. Color me SHOCKED! SHOCKED I SAY! SHOCKED!

I'm not attacking you. In fact, I rather like fans of other teams who bring differing viewpoints to the table. I'll take it over 100 posts of "We need this guy", "This guy would be great for us", and "He's gonna be ND" (with no supporting evidence). I'm simply pointing out why your posts aren't taken as hard and fast truths.

Every rumor you hear in recruiting will be considered second hand. If you had heard recruit A is favoring ND, then you were to tell me about it, does that make it true?

The thing about it is, if you were to hear 'rumors', would you not want them from as close to the source as possible? I mean, if you wanted news on the war from Iraq, would you trust someone sitting at home in their office from New York, or someone on the ground in Iraq? The news I am giving is coming from as close to the situation as possible.

Not only that, why is that such a big deal? Are you telling me it is such a wrong thing that ND would get a recruit because a parent is pushing for the school? Are you saying ND has NEVER had that happen in the past? C'mon now!

But either way, NU is having some recruiting problems right now, and we know what it looks like because ND experinced some of it last year.

Was their something going right at Nebraska when we picked up commitments from Bryce Givens, Trevor, Gabbert, etc., in short time? The only thing that seems to be going on is that Trevor is looking around, and seemingly going to change his commitment. The rest were stuff that was getting thrown around that were simply untrue by your fans.
