I have a sense that Wilkerson isnt going to receive the appreciation he should until things get rolling this fall, understandably but he is a difference maker IMO on that back line.

This defensive backfield is starting to look really good. There is a lot of talent out there and if they can all play together they could be 05 team good. If the d-line can get some pressure there may be a lot of picks this year for the good guys.

Truth, we pulled in instance experience where beyond, Cotton-Moya and Edwards, the rest were pretty green.... Not saying the skill is not there, but having the experience goes a long way with the skill....

I was listening to CW yesterday on KXNO and he said that his birdies were chirping about Joel and how he's been looking at MLB. Sounds like everyone is very happy with the move.

I love that the staff brought Wilkerson in. There definitely are some talented young DB's but giving them another year before playing full time is big.

Wilkerson brings experience and some obvious talent.

I have not bought into it, I need to see production. If we come out and smoke UNI I might start to think the bowl is attainable, winning the first 3 will have me joining the hype.

I suffered through the Walden years which included:
Going 0-10-1 in '94
Going 0-4 against Iowa
Going 0-4 against Kansas
Going 0-2 against UNI

I had to hang onto victories over ranked Nebraska and ranked KState like they were the last remaining rays of sunlight I'd ever see.

I'm bathing in hype for now. I can't help myself.

so is Wilkerson 180 or is he 195? Kind of confusing. The article list him at 180, but they said he put on 15 lbs. Was he 165 and then added 15 lbs or was he 180 and then added 15 lbs? If someone can clear this up, it would be appreciated. thanks.

Where your title took me, Jared:

And you may find yourself
Living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself
In another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?
