    Thanks, I appreciate it. I spoke to some TCU fans and they didn't mention it. I have never heard of it.

    Honestly, I think that this won't hurt us as bad as the potential of losing Gildon. We have much more depth at RB than we do at LB. I think that Tucker and James may have surpassed Wesley anyways. Maybe Catalon or Dean can step into his role. Our problems really will lie on the defensive side, rather than the offensive side, anyways. I'm optimistic, though, based on Patterson's comments in the article.

    Looks like Tucker and James will have to step up the load.

    Again, I'm not sure how much truth this has to it besides the fact that the folks down at killerfrogs are treating this like fact. After what happened earlier this offseason, I still find it hard to dismiss anything as rumor, even stuff from FrogsOfWar...

    It's grades, apparently. Not sure how much truth there is behind the rumors, but it doesn't look good from everything that I've seen. Makes me wonder if Wesley might leave for the supplemental draft if he can't play next year. Gildon is a blow to the LB depth as well.

    It's not looking good for next season. Not to say we won't be competitive, we will. These recent losses are brutal, if the rumors turn out to be true. I'm crossing my fingers, but it looks like we'll lose Wesley and Gildon for next season.

    I've heard Arlington, N.O. and Atlanta are interested. Don't think it will even be bid out until the format of the four-team playoff is decided upon.

    Oh, and that's awesome you know Turner Gill personally! I greatly respect his faith in God, the person he is and the coach he is, despite what the ill-advised Kansas heads thought. And I still think he was at least the third-best quarterback in Nebraska history.

    I actually didn't write the article David! You'll have to give Kenneth Hicks props for that. But I appreciate the agreement on my comment!
