    Hey Patrick,

    There has been a lot of talk surrounding the potential in-state recruits for Nebraska for the 2014 class. Honestly, the would be a really intriguing article, to highlight the 8-10 guys that could come out of the state of Nebraska alone. Is that even possible? If so, git r done!

    Patrick,

    What happened to your third Husker Columnist, Lundquist?

    He and I used to have some great debates.

    Patrick, that ain't I.M.Hipp's picture in your top 50. That's Wonder Monds. Who, BTW, maybe should also be in the list if Steve Damkroger is. Hard to argue with any of the others though.

    Hi Patrick, Thanks for your comment on my article about Liverpool FC chants and song. I see that you are writing primarily about football. Was great to have you come across the pond and read and comment on our 'football' :-)

    Cheers mate and I hope you have a great day.

    Patrick, your advice to Pelini in many ways is good advice to all college football coaches. Only some relates to Pelini alone but then again probably applies to everyone at some time.
    Watching the all access program last night on OU you can see how Stoops really does your point about spending time with the kids, this was a great program in case you missed it and can still catch it on espn.
