Was Luke Tressel Dick's son? I seem to remember Luke being on Mason's staff for a bit.

I'm not criticizing April. There's pressure everywhere, but I think for coaches the pros are the place to be. I just think the tweet from the Badgerhead was goofy.

What a stupid tweet by this chucklehead. Leonhard gets passed over for the Badgers' head coaching job, gets passed over for the Packers' defensive coordinator position, and ends up in Buffalo. Yet somehow, the Badger faithful can look at the situation and find a way to dis Fleck. Don't get...

I was hoping April would stick around until May.

I figure once a recruit reaches a certain thesthold (probably 4-stars), more effort goes into the analysis. But watching how players' college careers unfold, it seems that 3-star guys are just all over the place in terms of impact. Of course, when you are looking at 17- and 18-year-olds there...

My coach said that about us as well.

I don't devour pre-draft analysis, but I was wondering if anyone has read anything about how Eastern has fared at practices during the lead-up to the Senior Bowl.

I don't like seeing anyone suffer as they reach the end of their life and I hope that Lou Holtz is being comforted as he nears his end. I'm old and I've gotten perspective on the things that used to tick me off, especially regarding sports. Holtz could clearly coach, recruit, and motivate (and...

I think if an underclassmen is considering declaring for the NFL draft but is projected to be a Day 3 pick, he'll probably make more money sticking around for the extra year in college than going to the pros.

For this to work, they have to really be good at the evaluation of high school recruits and then keep the best ones in the system, but that may take a lot of cash to do. It works if you can keep a core of players (especially O- and D-linemen) in the system for continuity and then sprinkle in...

I have no idea how they come up with the rankings, but you're right that the variation is pretty dramatic.

Pure mess. Denny Green always strove to take the high road, but that's tough when there is no road.

Rivals and Scout used to be the big deals when following recruiting rankings, but 247 has surpassed them. ESPN is also in the game, but their website isn't the easiest place to find pertinent information. I think part of it is the 247 site is easy to find and easy to navigate. It is...

I am shocked you don't trust the little bird!

Did he order you to drop down and give him 30 push-ups?
