It's entirely possible that McElwain plans on just leaving without ever saying a word to his players.

[meow meow]

I bet McElwain is so pissed he's going to stay at CSU forever just to show those Florida idiots.

[michigancat]

yeah, that tweet from the ft. collins guy was a classic homer beat writer holding out hope tweet

[Benja]

stadium size is honestly a pretty good representation of how easy/difficult it is to recruit to a place

yes it's not bad. much of it is population based. people are weird and usually don't want to go far from where they are born.

there's obviously outliers, silly

[michigancat]

Baylor has a relatively small stadium and it's relatively difficult to recruit to so I'm not sure what dipper's point is.

What percent of that 75% had a more positive mental image of LA than KS before they graduated HS?

[Benja]

Weird they can get kids to give up the glamour of a small town Midwestern or southern life to head to that cesspool southern California

FootballScoop.com reports that Nebraska is targeting Arkansas HC Bret Bielema to replace Bo Pelini.

The site also reports that the Huskers are "in serious talks" with Bielema. Nebraska’s athletic director, Shawn Eichorst, worked for with Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez from 2009-11 and is purported to be a huge fan of Bielema's. It might seem like a tall task to convince Bielema to leave two years into his Arkansas tenure after he's rebuilt the program as he sees fit and has it headed towards SEC competitiveness, but this is, of course Bret Bielema. And Bret Bielema has pulled off a bigger stunner before, leaving a cushy job with the Badgers for the rebuilding effort required at Arkansas. For what it's worth, Bielema is telling the media that he's committed to Arkansas long-term.

Do the research!  Look, if you are serious about becoming an investigative journalist, you get the story.

19% of all investigative journalists don't get the story and are uber successful.  i can be one of those journalists.

Jim McElwain hired as Florida football head coach. McElwain was 22-16 in 3 seasons as Colorado State head coach.

[Rage Against the McKee]

[MadCat]

I don't find that to be an interesting fact.
