4 days 10 hours ago most obvious interpretation

Jeez, I can't believe there have been so many posts and no one has yet offered the most obvious interpretation: Devin knows Shane is about to decommit, so the #12 is now available to Devin.  Remember, you heard it here first!

(And, wow, if this actually happens, I'm going to feel so much like crap for posting this snark here...)
10 weeks 2 days ago All your Glasgow's belong to us!

Are there any other brothers?  Kind of nice to have a pipeline of walk-ons good enough to get scholarship offers at other DI schools (Graham at Minnesotta, per ESPN, and Ryan at Wyoming and a bunch of D1-AA schools per response above.)
10 weeks 2 days ago walk-ons for 2012 season

While this doesn't do anything to change the 2013 recruiting class numbers, I assume that this does open up a scholly to give to a walk-on next year, right?  That means we have 3 open scholarships for next season: I assume Brink gets one, but what happens to the other 2?
10 weeks 2 days ago I actually think that raises

I actually think that raises a potentially interesting question: If Wile replaces Gibbons (and that's a big if) as the regular place-kicker, is there any chance that Gibbons doesn't get his 5th year?  One might think that being the starter for 2+ years gets him the 5th year just out of loyalty, but if he's not going to play, how much pressure would there be to free up the spot?  While I'm OK with the idea of not giving 5th years in general, I don't know how I'd feel in this particular case.

Until someone agrees with him?  Or until his mother tells him it's dinner time?
10 weeks 4 days ago Reminded me strongly of Jared

Reminded me strongly of Jared Lorenzen.  Not quite as athletic, though, and his mechanics need work.
11 weeks 18 hours ago If they're playing 4-wide as

If they're playing 4-wide as the O is in the bottom diagram, why are we in our base D?  Shouldn't we have subbed in to a Nickel or Dime package?  Aren't we already being RPSed just based on the packages we put into the game?  (I suppose a similar situation could exist with 3-wide and a TE or 2 backs, but even then, wouldn't a Nickel be a better defense?)
12 weeks 3 days ago great question

I once had a student in one of the college classes I teach ask the following question when he was confused by an exam question: "So, by 19th century, what do you mean?"

 

Not a question, but the dumbest thing I've ever had a student say happened earlier this year in another college class I teach: "Actually, Seattle is still the smallest state."  Upon reflection, he clarified that he meant Oregon.
12 weeks 4 days ago How, exactly, does Baas

How, exactly, does Baas shrink an inch between his freshman and sophomore years?  Did he not drink enough milk or something?
12 weeks 4 days ago South Georgia, where Vienna

South Georgia, where Vienna is located, is very fertile recruiting ground for FSU.  My guess is he either ends up a Bulldog or a Nole.  But the fact that we've already filled half our class means that we can spend some time recruting long-shot elite prospects.
