If we pay u to come to auburn, u can stay for 4 and get your education. Hey now. Eric didn’t "claim" anything. That’s the word on the street. Has been for a long time. Auburn’s past continues to haunt. You know Auburn’s rep regarding recruiting practices, deserved or not. Right? Touché
Message hopscotch beers 11919 º places 307 º 11:06 Mon 1/26/2015 Originally posted by GodOfThunder Yea...Kahlil Lewis isn’t a done deal yet. According to the other recruits at UCF this weekend, he committed. Our Rivals guy can’t get ahold of him to confirm, though. This would be pretty big, because his high school coach was hired as a coach at WV last year. Anything can happen in recruiting, but we have an incredible opportunity for WRs (and DBs) this year. Combine that with some of the WR talent O’Leary has sent to the NFL (B. Marshall, Mike Sims-Walker, Kamar Aiken, and likely a couple draft picks this year) and we should be able to pull some of this talent. We had a great recruiting weekend and everything is pointing up for next week as well. We are closing strong, and now have the best G5 recruiting class (avg stars) besides Boise... but we have more 3* than Boise and both have 1 4*... damnit, recruiting rankings are dumb. Anyway, we’ve managed to pull out of the recruiting cellar in one week, to the top of the G5. Yeah, Jj. UCF closing strong for sure. You and Brian were on suicide watch a month ago. lol You’re right. Recruiting rankings ARE dumb, but fun. It’s really all about a school’s coaching staff and the coach-ability of the athletes a program pulls. Miami is a perfect example of this. Every single team discussed on this board has been more successful than Miami over the past twelve years... and Miami is in what is probably the weakest of the Power Five conferences. However, with the exception of Auburn and Alabama, none of us are pulling talent anywhere close to the level of Miami’s. Another example would be any team head-coached by Lane Kiffin. We’re all doing much more with much less. Put Gus Malzahn or Bobby Petrino at the helm of the Miami program and it’s an entirely different story for the ’Canes. They probably have another national championship under their belt. I’m starting to think WVU’s staff is in need of an overhaul. We’ll see for sure after this coming season, but regardless of the raised level of competition, moving from the Big East to the Big XII, we’re not playing fundamentally sound football. It’s irritating.

We will have hot chicks in bikinis, front and center stage on ESPN, while Iowa has fat Midwesterners in sweatpants.

Lol.. "Mini Grove".. No, they are creating another area of premium seating because the club section on the press box side has been sold out for years and there is still a ton of demand...and they are expanding that as well. Everything about our program is better than Iowa, and we’ve been around less than 20 years in Div I. But, you still have those fat chicks in sweatpants and guys sweating sausage from their pores.
Message hopscotch beers 11919 º places 307 º 16:04 Tue 1/27/2015 You know, if you can afford it, those beach seats could be a really cool place to tailgate before and after the game. I’m a beach bum and sun junky, so the idea talks to me. I mean, heck, if you can’t fill the place up, screw it. Build a beach and they will come ... and you’ll make more money with 900 seats than you did with the 2000. UCF currently has a better athletic program than Iowa? I’m not EVEN touching that. :-x
