While I hesitate to ask this question, have you heard anything about the visit from the recruits last weekend. I can't imagine it is anything positive, but it would be nice to know if we pretty much shot ourselves in the foot both now and for future opportunities. |

They react to individual losses much less than we fans do, it seems. That's a consistent theme. Feel pretty good about their chances with Niles Sykes, Markel Smith.

Sure why would they? They aren't emotionally invested yet like fans or players already in the program. Their interest is tied to the direction of the program which is virtually never shaped completely by the outcome of one game.

It seems to me that this type of loss is almost best case scenario for recruits. The kids watch a team that is incredibly close to greatness but not quite there...maybe just a player or two away.

It's certainly better than getting blown out & not much different from winning given you can point to individual play(s) had they gone the other way MU wins. I just don't think it (outcome) has much of an impact compared to the overall direction of the season & program & the experience of the visit in general.
Basically as far as recruiting goes it's NBD.

Incredibly close to greatness? I definitely wouldn't say that. If that was a National Championship game and they lost like that, I would say you may have had some validity. There is no team that is bordering on greatness this year IMO. Bama is good, but not great, I think the same of Oregon and FSU which I think are the top three teams in the country, then again, that is all my opinion. |

So, I'm in Hawaii (Oahu) on my honeymoon (wife and I were married five years ago, but that was when we were both in college and broke, so we are finally on our honeymoon now that we aren't quite so broke). Anybody have any idea where I might be able watch the game Saturday? Preferably a bar where I can sit and watch football all day. TIA. Sorry for the off topic question.
