Re: Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

the fact is that UNI is smaller school with a smaller fanbase and its fans have a more direct connection to the university and to people the make and influence decisions regarding the athletic department. there are heated discussions on his board that likely lead to new ideas of ways of thinking and overall it helps UNI by creating more passionate and involved fans.

That doesn't make UNI the "little brother", or mean that UNI fans should be happy being called "little brother"

True but, just playing devil's advocate here, doesn't being overly sensitive about the term "little brother", make you a little brother?

Does being overly sensitive about being called a ra-tard make them a ra-tard?

Good point. It's kind of a chicken and egg debate. In some textbook this probably causes a paradox per the law of physics.

What is a ra-tard?
Like Stein says, it's a chicken and egg kind of thing. No right or wrong answer it's just a matter of degree and opinion. Speaking of chicken and eggs, UNI fans are like bacon and eggs, some are involved and some are commited. The chicken is involved but the pig is commited.

Looking forward to the spring game so we can discuss real football.

Re: Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

Just an update> Well Jewell Hampton is dressed out every practice here at SIU Spring sessions but probably will not participate in any contact drills. He is running well but I'm sure coaches don't want any stress on his knees till fall practices.

Top RBs will be Shariff Harris (who looks much improved over last year), Stevie Strother, Mulku Moloku (from Coffeyville CC) and LaSteven McKinney (red shirt frosh who was All-Stater at Nazareth Academy in 2009). But I have a feeling Hampton will push them all for PT if fully recovered by this Fall.

Re: Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

Has anyone heard of ANYTHING in the past few weeks?

Re: Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

In hindsight it would have been nice to have Dawson available to spell Carlos last year. Or was he not 100% last year?

Re: Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

It sounds like Dawson was never our 2nd best running back. Not last year and not this year.

Hard to believe a recruit can flame out like he did.

Re: Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

not really...he was in the rivals150 after his junior year and really trended down from there as people questioned his quickness and agility.
