I feel bad for you Mike

From what I understand the alumni have already got the funds to buy him out...... Done deal....... We just have to suck it up these last games.......

In the meantime...........your "Commited" recruits are jumping ship like gangbusters.

TO is handling this thing very ineptly. He'd better get off his azz and make some announcements. This deal is getting out of hand. Someone needs to step up to the plate and take a swing.

If I had a son that was a Husker recruit now, I'd sure advise him to be looking at other schools......................

It's still a long time until signing day.

I hope you don't think these decisions are made on signing day. :roll:

The uncertainy surrounding the University of Nebraska-Lincoln football program has cost it a highly touted recruit.

Blaine Gabbert, a suburban St Louis high school senior and rated as America's fourth-best high school quarterback by rivals.com, has backed away from his oral commitment to Nebraska.

"With the turmoil and uncertainty of the coaching staff, I felt like I had to revaluate my options," Gabbert told the St. Louis Post Dispatch. "I reopen my recruitment as of tonight. I'm open to all schools."

Gabbert committed to the Cornhuskers last May, but made an unofficial visit to Missouri last weekend to watch the Tigers-Texas Tech football game.
Defensive end Simi Kuli, one of the most coveted junior college recruits in the country, is apparently coming to Nebraska.

Nebraska, which fired athletic director Steve Pederson last week, has lost three consecutive games. Interim athletic director Tom Osborne has said he will wait until the season ends to decide whether to retain coach Bill Callahan.

"I can't make any promises," Nebraska head football coach Callahan said at his weekly press conference this week. "I can't, because I'm not getting any promises."

Callahan said he, his assistants and interim athletic director Tom Osborne have told recruits to hang in there."

Detroit-area running back Jonas Gray also switched commitments from Nebraska to Notre Dame, according to the Kansas City Star.

Is "jumping ship like gangbusters" meant to imply many commits are withdrawing their verbals? I've heard of 3 likely movers, but Gabbert will likely be a Husker. NU will lose less than 5 recruits, and may bring some upgrades. Whatever considerations TO has in mind, they're far more measured than his critics can comprehend.

This ain't Tom's first rodeo.
