So let's assume there is an instate recruit we are competing with Iowa & UNI for. You don't think the amount of venom on this board that gets carried over to the local sports radio would have any influence on who that young man ended up signing with?Quote:

I think GMac's failure to get wins and keep players is about 90% of the reason we are not landing the recruits we lose.Quote:

They might be playing for the Cyclones if you would keep your hate of GMac and JP to yourself.Quote:

This latest volcanic eruption of "our coach sucks and so does our AD" was brought on by losing out on a recruit that no one had even heard of until a couple of weeks ago. Our chances of getting Oto were less than 50% at best.
Save your whining, ******** and moaning for something worth the effort.
