Stealing something from HogofWar on woopig that I hadn't thought of.

quote:

If the staff is not keen of venturing into Texass for recruits, why are we playing in Dallas for exposure and give up a home game in the process? Why did let LSU and aTm play each other on Thanksgiving, just so we could bring recruits to neutral sites, if we are not going to recruit them hard? Long should be pushing Beilema into Texas for recruits, whether he has relationships or not.

Well then please, enlighten us all. Are you saying that we need to finish better than 30th in recruiting to win a national championship?



Yeah, pretty much. But I've been more focused on winning the SEC (same difference).

Maybe so if people are arguing with that concept.

No one is.

Recruiting is important. Everyone understands that, and it's not a new exciting concept that you brought to the board.

Then what, specifically, is the disconnect? Why are we arguing?

It's not? Coulda fooled me since all I've been saying is that 11th in the conference isn't good enough.

Criticizing our class as a whole is now offensive? That's some next level shite, Lanny.

Because I wish we could have, for instance, found a LB that could possibly contribute from day 1 (Ellis/Peters kind of player)...that means I'm saying that Hackett sucks?

I'm starting to hope some of you are t-shirt fans.

I'm going to have to go to sleep soon, guys and gals. Sorry if I offended any of you frickers with my opinion.

Would like to wake up to some opinions as to why we aren't recruiting Texas harder knowing we'll be wasting a home game for the next 8 years playing in Arlington.

This all started pages ago when a string of comments had people saying that they were convinced this was a good class. I'm sorry that I offended so many by saying that I didn't think good was "good enough." But, if you read, that's literally all I've been saying.

Defending my opinion because others misinterpreted it, evidently.

Don't forget I questioned your reading comprehension (ironic, since I didn't call you a t-shirt fan).

there's a difference between a good class and "good enough"

The disconnect lies within your own argument. You are acting like ocelot4ark is the only Hog fan on the board that realizes the importance of recruiting. We all realize it.

The problem is you're acting like this class was supposed to be the one that wins us a national championship or gets us competing with Bama. That's simple naïveté and it's not realistic.

EARLY PT!

We pitched it last year after 4-8. Why not this year after 3-9?

Bielema: I think I could use the success at Wisconsin a little more last year than I could this year (in recruiting).
