So, on my way home from work tonight I turned on OPR in time to hear the "What's bugging you" segment, or whatever it's called. There was a caller on, Joe from Dike, that got me going with his rant.
He went on about how these freshman aren't going to help the team, and Panther fans seem to have too many expectations for them. This part of his rant gave me a good chuckle - but I let it slide and thought he was more of a fan of some other state school (ISU, DU, or ISU) as well as UNI, but UNI was clearly second. Again, I was "okay" with that.
However, his next comment (which played off of the first one) really bugged me for some reason. He basically said that Jacobson hasn't done anything as UNI's coach and has yet to prove him self as a recruiter because last season wasn't as good as the S16 season. He said the only time Jacobson has had success is with, and this is what really got me, McDermott's players. Are you freaking kidding me Joe in Dike? I believe Jake and Coach Green were the recruiters on that class (Kwadzo, JE, Kerwin, Adam). Jacobson was the only head coach they ever played for. They were never on campus, other than a recruiting visit, when Mc$ was here. They are be no means Mc$'s players. How, if you post here (even if you do I doubt you will man up to this) can you justify them being Mc$'s players? What part of their success was due to Mc$? You probably think that Ali was recruited under Mc$ as well, don't you? Mc$ was 2 years gone by the time Ali signed.
Do you really believe Jake hasn't recruited players that are going to be big time players at UNI?
I know that stupid little segment shouldn't bother me, but damn.
