How big of an ass*ole can I be. I donated $100 to this site.
I am just quoting what I read on here all the time about recruiting. I didn't say I agreed with it. In fact, I disagree with it. I think it is really important to keep the best players in the State. It is extremely difficult going into the back yards of SEC or Big 12 or other Big Ten powers for that matter and pulling 4 or 5 star kids out of there.
It is much easier to convince the 4 or 5 star kids in your back yard to stay home. I am really surprised that Minnesota has such a hard time keeping elite prospects in the State. When I was growing up, all I wanted to do was play football for the Gophers, I would have jumped at the chance.
I think most of the people on this forum have figured that out. I am not sure everyone has.
As for the "Punky", when people stop with the names for Bielema, I will stop with "Punky".
