Wasn't that the game that neb should not have even been in

Much like the NC title they split with the skunkbears in 97'. If not for Dr. Tom, and his retirement going away gift, UM would have had a full NC in 97', instead they settle for a half, which by the way is totally fine with me. I think I hate them more than Southern Cal.


Go Irish!!!

So I just read a post on the NU free Scout board saying that Charlie pestered Chris Galippo up until signing day...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the entire reason Galippo committed so early to USC because Weis basically ignored him at camps?

I like Nebraska. They're old school prestige football. They have great tradition and a great fanbase who knows their football and usually appreciates a good fight from the opponent. So, I will not attack willie or the Huskers.

However, opposing fans always blame the parents when a hometown kid shuns them for the Irish. Believe me, willie. We've heard it many times. Last year's version was Harrison Smith with Tennessee. We hear it pretty much yearly.

We also hear yearly "lifelong fan of ..." Well, right now we have two lifelong Michigan fans among our committed. Granted, they are not from Michigan, but they are self admitted lifelong fans who now that their own futures and careers are on the line, decided to go with ND for their own reasons. It's not always about what you bled when you were 8. Sometimes it's about what you want to bleed until you are 80.

So if he switches to ND, blame Daddy if it makes you feel better. Other fans do it. Our excuse to make us feel better when we lose a guy is usually academics or somesuch. We all have them.

Now, ND got bit on 5 recruits that we know of last year that supposedly had committed to Weis at some point. Two of those on signing day. So the coaches are a little gun shy. Do you think they'd fill our final O-line spot with a kid who doesn't want to be here, or who is doing it only for daddy with the chance that he could change daddy's mind?

But if it makes you feel better....

Now, good luck this year with or without TR. Beat USC.

Care to refute anything I posted about the countless rumors about 'something going on at Nebraska'? I mean, you all cook up rumors about Givens, Leslie and T-Rob, then throw them into one as if something is going down at our university. When I present the facts, you get your panties in a wad and go from there. And why? Because you can't refute any single one of those facts, except with senseless jabs.

But let me start a rumor mongering thread about ND on a Nebraska board just to see how long it takes before an ND poster invades. The only difference would be, they wouldn't try to be sensible about having a discussion like I tried to do with the 'posters' of this forum.

Willie, you are a funny guy. You come over here to troll a bit, and you expect to be treated with respect after posting something that if you really knew anything about the situation in Lincoln you would know is BS. So you either are clueless or trolling, in either case you do not deserve our respect.

Do not use a quote from me and talk about rumors about Leslie & Givens since the only subject I talked about was Trev. My panties are not in a wad because I know for a fact that your supposed facts about Trev's dad forcing him to de-commit are complete and total BS. As for me going to a Husker forum to discuss anything, I would not waste my time, which is what you are doing here. Again CYA.

You said you were here to clear things up and unless you are the person the statements are about you do not know. Nothing is truth and it's all theory on sites like this. BTW who cares if fans from another school start a rumor on their team site, it belongs to them.

Let me ask you a question --

If Nebraska were to recruit a player from Indiana, deep in the heart of Irish country where MANY Irish fans talked to the recruits family, friends and the recruit himself -- would you believe Husker fans rumors about what this kid may be thinking?

People from Nebraska have access to people all around this kid and have not been afraid to ask what is going on.

Well you can't back up anything you've said either. So let's not pretend you've produced a dissertation backing up your claims whereas we're all just sitting here with our thumbs up our asses.

How many times do I have to say -- people on the Nebraska board have talked with people all around Trevor. Geez ... how many times does that have to be repeated?

alot of nebraska fans go the rivals main board and talk alot of smack. i know nd has done almost nothing since 1993 (that will change real soon) but neb. hasn't exactly lit the college footall world on fire the last 10 years. unless you count the beat down miami gave them in the 2001 nc game.

:laugh:

Yes, he was quoted in an article about being pissed off that he didn't get enough attention at one of the junior days.

----------If Weis ignored Galippo then I wouldn't be too happy with Charlies evaluation of players.

Dude, where is your evidence to back all of this up? You can't just drop that crap out there and expect us to take it for gospel. It sounds like a "my best friends, brothers boyfriend knows this guy, who was dating this girl that saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last nite", kinda post. Don't get me wrong, but everything you are saying can't be substanciated unless you got it directly from Trev and his dad. Finally, why would a guy, who works for NU, try to push his son to go someplace other than NU? I just see the dad being completely supportive of the path his son is taking. Rock-on-Irish!!!

I'm not sure what this has to do with Trevor

Show me one thing that I said in a negative light about ND, before I was attacked by your fan base. Zip, nada. I come here to share facts with you, and you all don't want them. But hey, that is fine.

And please do not tell me that you know for a fact I am wrong. That is nothing more than a futile attempt to back up what you DO NOT know. The Irish insiders can blow smoke up your rear end all they want about Trevor, but if they are telling you what I have read in this thread, they are all full of it -- point blank.

And I'm sorry you would not try to have an enlightened discussion where you try to discuss facts and not baseless rumors. That's your problem, not mine.

You didn't post facts. You posted rumors. Rumors coming from a biased fan base. Just like any absolutes you read here are rumors from a biased fan base. We'll know the facts soon enough.

But you are right. You didn't trash ND.

Boo-frickin'-hoo! We all know that Charlie isn't about to hold someone's hand because he believes that he deserves more time at a camp than the other guys there. What a crock of crap! But, what does all of that have to do with the Trev situation?

Hilarious, now you are just sounding stupid. Why is it that your baseless rumors are facts and what we have to say is baseless rumours. I did not even start a rumour my man, I merely pointed out that what you are trying to pass off as a fact is not only baseless rumor, but is also total BS. You gave me a good laugh on that one though. Thanks.:) :)

Oh and did I tell you this before. CYA.

I can have someone ask a recruit things, but unless I hear it from the recruit I don't say what is truth or not, when people start to say I heard from so and so it might not be all true it happens all the time.

Somebody should change that boys' usertitle to something uh......more appropriate.

I would, but I'm far too respectable (now).

If you wish to go that route, you could say the same about your rumors that 'something is going on at Nebraska' that have been brought up throughout this thread.

I mean, if you had the pleasure of reading the LJS (Lincoln Journal Star) article from Trevor's dad, it becomes painfully obvious it isn't Trevor's decision to be made. His father was quoted several times saying "we" when referring to the decision Trevor is going to make.

Furthermore, Trevor's father almost openly says he is looking for academics in this quote ...

“So, what does the college selection process come down to? It may be the academic quality of the institution and the social environment. As a player’s dad, you want to be sure they really like what they’re doing and that they’re 100 percent with the decision. It doesn’t mean he’s not 100 percent (toward Nebraska); it’s just that this is the time of year that it makes sense to look around a little and understand what’s the best fit as a total college experience.

.....

If people don’t think we’ve wrestled with this decision in unbelievable ways, they’re wrong,” he said. “It’s about selecting a college, as well as a football program, and that’s a complex process for anybody. It’s just something we’re doing, and that’s where I want to leave it right now.”


HuskerExtra.com - Lincoln, Nebraska - Huskerextra - Football

If you can read that article and tell me that his father is not HEAVILY involved in his decision, then I give up on this thread because it will be pointless to try and present anything else worthy of discussion in here.

And his father doesn't work for UNL. He works for UNO. Completely different institutions.

You didn't post facts. You posted rumors. Rumors coming from a biased fan base. Just like any absolutes you read here are rumors from a biased fan base. We'll know the facts soon enough.

But you are right. You didn't trash ND.

From people close to the situation. Can you say the same? And really, what is the big deal? So what if Trevor likes Nebraska more? How many times has schools benefited from parents pushing their kids one way? I'm sure you have been on the good and bad end of that before. So what exactly is the big deal?

And thank you for realizing I have tried to remain respectful -- unlike some of your other delightful posters.

Hey Willie red squares are bad...... I thought you might like to know

Don't go breaking my heart like that, spinner.

It's hilarious that fans from Indiana are trying to pawn what numerous people have said about the situation off as baseless rumors.

But hey, since you are so caught up in the T-Rob recruitment, please enlighten me and my Husker brethren about what exactly happened. I'm sure we would love THAT laugh.

LOL- YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH?
YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH?

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.

Willie,

My only point would be that your assertions have no more verifiable facts backing them up than any of the other posters' assertions. You are telling everyone here things that you, so far, have not proven, giving no reason to believe these allegations over any other rumors presented here.

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.

I don't think anyone ever said there was any concrete problem at NU, it's just the recruiting efforts there are seemingly going in a negative direction. It could be as simple as negative momentum, or there could be something else that is spooking the players right now and giving them cause to step back and evaluate the situation more closely. 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.

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.
Your grieving Willie.
-Denial
-Anger
-Bargaining
-Depression
-Acceptance
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!
