Really?
He was a 4-star RB from Wisconsin who had offers from every major team in the Midwest.
Why was he so interested in SU?
What stopped him from going?

Doug Marrone refused to talk with him after the kid flew up here on his own dime

Yeah, Doug refused to speak with the kid when the kid and his family flew to Syracuse on their own dime. It's not a made up story, its what happened

Fans here would have said he was too slow. Running a 4.3 but not being able to do anything in a football game is really popular.

He would have 12 carries a game in our system.

Gordon is the reason I don't want Devine Ozigbo to be any good at Iowa State...not because I wish him to be bad, but because I don't want to think what could have been. Without knowing all details, both stories sound the same, with exception this staff finally offered Ozigbo - IMO too late and pulled after too many commits. Here's to hoping Strickland is better.

By Get a Life are you saying because the guy who said that refused to believe college football was worth investing money into (while all our competitors were), or are you just saying it's because he said Get a Life so people are still mad about that.
Please say the former.
Please?

I remember a discussion of whether a guy putting up big numbers for BYU or somebody was legitimate talent or a "system quarterback", sicec other quarterbacks had also had big season there but not done well in the pros. I asked "Can we please get a 'system'? It was one of my most 'liked' posts.
Is there such a thing as a system that allows mediocre talents to put up big numbers? :noidea:

Melvin Gordon just ran Bo Pelini out of Lincoln. It seems insane to think an 8-2 team would consider firing a coach but after that performance and outcome I just can't see Nebraska keeping him if they were strongly considering firing him during this past offseason.
