Ever hear of Stanford?
-
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he signed in exasperation and nodded.
Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus." The president wasn't touched; he was shocked.
"Madam," he said gruffly, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard." For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
And the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded.
The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment.
And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California, where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

I can never blame a kid who choo(ry

Just watched his Hudl. Definitely a great looking prospect.

I was watching a receiver last year, I can't remember who it was – – it could've been one of ours – – and they were playing Loyola. David Long absolutely jumped off the film… I was like, who is that?RoadDawg55 said:Just watched his Hudl. Definitely a great looking prospect.
He's a Baller, too bad he's going to Stanford. -

Apparently we are doing well with Byron Murphy for now, but unfortuantely he has grade issues. And I am sure if he gets his grades in order he will go to A&M or something anways. -
I think we can McClatcher Murphy.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

I think A&M will have sexier people who are more likely to qualify… And my guess is we'll get him qualified. -
If we can get him I'd be ecstatic.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Still upset that Rapp is a 3 star, it's hogwash. -
I'm not saying we will get him, don't twist. I'm just saying—with the current variables—my crystal ball is 81% locked in for Murphy to Washington.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

From what I saw elsewhere, Long tweeted he would be announcing and mentioned USC, Stanford, and UCLA in the tweet. Lars then asked him about UW and he said they are still in it. If he was picking UW, I don't think he would have forgotten to mention them in his tweet.
Ektard has been saying lately that UW is where Long wants to go but Stanford's education may pull him that way.
I don't see Murphy coming to UW but you never know. My guess is we get either Bryant or Gilchrist -
-
-
I would be more than fine with Gilchrist and Love. Both are solid prospects and they should be able to redshirt as long as the CB's on the roster don't transfer.
-
Yep:
Long > Stanford
Murphy > Texas Agriculture & Mining University
Love = DAWGS
Gilchrist = DAWGS

Insider info says we are looking good for Murph.
-
I had figured Gilchrist for the kind of kid who was going to commit to the hometown dawgs early. But now we haven't heard much from him in months.
Would we take Love, Murphy AND Gilchrist? Is it possible we are slowplaying him a little bit? -
What position will Murphy play and if this insider info is coming from Lars or Eklund...well you know better so I'm guessing its not.Dennis_DeYoung said:Insider info says we are looking good for Murph.
-
I have a strong hunch that he'll play defensive back. And why would I call it insider info if it came from Lars or 81?HeretoBeatmyChest said:

That's nice of him to say that but I don't think it's happening.
He's gone. -
Hope is free.
He gone. -
Hope we get Gilchrist now. Eklund is saying he thinks Gilchrist is trying to find a reason to leave the state. Some poster named ladyhawks says he's talked to Bellevue coaches and Gilchrist is all UW

Sounds classy. Would be a great fit at Nebraska.whatshouldicareabout said:

Lars is just trying to save whatever credibility he has left (which is zero). His prediction rate this recruiting season has been as bad as Eklund's. He stood firm with his UW picks for Fehoko and Long til the very end.whatshouldicareabout said:
