When Bill promised recruits he'd get them to The Show I hope he meant as an undrafted FA.

I want the time back I wasted reading articles about Carl Nicks shooting up draft boards and into the first round.

Someone posted this blurb from some draft website on the Chiefs board:

CARL NICKS, Nebraska (6-5, 341, 5.22, 2-5) - Described by Polian as "more of a road-grader type," Nicks has been to three schools and started at LT for one season only at Nebraska. "Whatever you can get, that's what he's got," one scout said. "He's lazy. Malcontent. Resistant to authority. Criminality. Divorced with kids. He transferred. Anything you would not want a guy to have, he has it all. Talented, but a mess." The best tackle at the Senior Bowl. "If he were Williams personality-wise or Long, he might be the best of them all other than Long," another scout said. Scored 18 on the Wonderlic. "He is talented, dude, but we're not going to touch him," a third scout said. "He's too smart for his own britches. He's not a professional. He'll always be on the edge."


Octavien did get signed as an UDFA by the Chiefs. No takers on Purify yet that I've heard of, what an overhyped POS that guy was.

Was Purify going to be a junior? What an idiot.

Counting the Herd one hoof at a time.

I recall Bo Ruud got drafted in the 6th I believe. Don't remember by whom.

Zack Bowman, Carl Nicks and Bo Ruud were taken in the later rounds of the NFL draft, and Cortney Grixby got a free agent deal with the Carolina Panthers.

Corey McKeon and Tierre Green said their agents were working on deals but had nothing to announce.


Cornhuskers the winningest college football program of the last 50 years, both by winning percentage and number of wins.

Corey McKeon and Tierre Green?

I didn't know you needed an Agent to sign with the Beef?

I can't answer about the Domers but 3 Hawkeyes were drafted...Godfrey CB (3rd round to Carolina), Iwebema DE (4th round to Arizona) and Humpal LB (6th round to Pittsburgh). Albert Young and Bryan Mattison signed FA deals.

Iwebema will be the first one out of the league.

Actually 3 but wtf does that have to do with "lay down" Corey McKeon signing with the Beef?

To be fair to McKeon he didn't lay down...He helped the Okie State runner get to the endzone quicker with a little push.
