    It's not an acronym. It's Finnish for "I can't believe boots was naive enough to sneak back here under a new name after being banned and think we wouldn't notice."

    Do you have any friends or do you just spend your time in front of a computer? Just asking. There's no need to respond to the obvious.

    You post more times per day here than I do, boots.

    You keep referring to me as boots as if you are trying to out someone. That, according to the rules on the threads , is not allowed.
    Why are you so hung up on boots and whatever I post? You do it every day.

    No need to post the obvious either.

    Turner Gill will be better off waiting for the right opening at a Big 12 school. And by right opening, I mean, no Iowa State.

    The only thing is, he might be able to tap into some of that Nebraska recruiting base.

    If he can't, though, it's a dead-end job. Iowa State is flanked by winning (for the most part) programs in every direction. It's too hard to compete against that unless you have connections.

    He's not wrong. A lot of HBCUs have taken to recruiting Anglo and Hispanic kids for football positions like kicker and quarterback, along with using Caucasian and Latino kids to fill out the bulk of the roster spots on their golf, baseball, tennis and softball teams, especially at the D-I level. Not enough skilled black athletes to fill out the rosters in those sports, so the coaches do what they have to do to field a competitive team.

    Save somebody leaving for another job, The only school that could open in the next year is Colorado. Everybody else is either brand new or pretty safe.

    I appreciate your knowing something about what is going on at HBCU's. This practice has been vogue for a few years now but not many have written about it.
    Armchair, no one is safe. It's a what have you done for me lately profession.
