It seems a bit odd that the state where College Baseball’s champion is crowned has no teams preparing to compete for that honor. In fact it seems downright criminal. Lately it’s been downright unheard of.

USC DEFENSIVE LINE coach Brad Lawing has recruited hundreds of players over his more than 20 years as a college coach. He has signed players rated highly by the recruiting analysts and players whom the analysts ignored.

In Lawing’s opinion, the rating of players and the ranking of signing classes is a scam.

"I can take a three-star and make him a four-star, and I can take a four-star and make him a three- or two-star with the contacts I have," Lawing said. "That’s how ridiculous recruiting on the Internet is. I took Chris Culliver (USC safety) from a three- to a five-star in three weeks. All you’ve got to do is talk to the right people."

It's not uncommon for Huskers fans to see Pelini running through downtown Lincoln during the offseason. He is said to run at least five miles every day, whether it's outside or on a treadmill during the winter. Pelini also plays a lot of lunchtime basketball during the offseason.

"I didn’t really understand it. I don’t understand why a guy would want to leave," Ganz said. "All you can ask is a chance to compete for the starting quarterback job at the University of Nebraska. I don’t understand why you would leave when he had such a good opportunity. ... It’s tough to see a kid kind of waste all that time he put in here.

"You know, stuff’s not going to be given to you here. This is the University of Nebraska. Things are not going to be handed to people. People are not going to be playing favorites and you’re going to have to compete for everything you get. You’re going to have to compete, compete your butt off and win that job."

HuskerExtra.coml - Joe Ganz sounds off regarding Patrick Witt's recent departure.

Nice article by Brian Christopherson.

So when the former luggage salesman and CFL quarterback was able to persuade Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne to come inspect his new product, Gilman, the CEO of FieldTurf, scraped together what he could to pay for a private airplane to fly the potential customer to see a high school field in the middle of Pennsylvania.

Dropped off at Ringgold High in Monongahela, the legendary Cornhuskers football coach strolled to midfield, exchanged pleasantries and asked where the field was.

"You just walked across it," Gilman said.

That path led the late Gilman and FieldTurf on a wildly successful journey that has taken the Montreal-based company to the forefront of the business of artificial playing surfaces. Today, its rubber- and sand-based surfaces can be found in 3,000 different locations.

"My opinion, he was the best college football player I was around," said Dennis Claridge, who quarterbacked the '62 Huskers. "In those days, you played both ways, and he was a really strong, powerful running back with better speed than people realized. But he also was a great linebacker."

Thunder Thornton remembered as football leader.

Thunder Thornton passed away December 18th.
