I haven't seen a single thing about this.
I remember hearing that he'd be back after this season though, but what the hell do I know

Not sure I get the connection with having a baby in March and missing the past quarter at Stanford. I could understand stopping out when the baby was born but not 6 months prior.

if Bo stopped out to support his new family, then it's safe to say that we recruit our athletes based on character (in addition to talent).

Strange, strange signing day in Cardboard land when the comments about a fullback from the 1960s and a stopped out backup DL outnumber comments on any of our recruits by a 3:1 margin.Â

Aside from Andres Fox (big time), everything else went as expected thus far. Plus it's gonna be weird that this is just signing day #1...

Yeah, from what I've read it's a U$C/ND battle for ASB with U$C the most likely winner.
I have yet to find anything that says we are even one of NPF's top choices. Anything you can reference that says we are?
Update: According to ASB we are still in it.

nothing really. I'd doubt Shaw would do an in-home (1 of 2 this year?) unless there is a pulse and we can get 1 of NPF's last 3 official visits. that and the Kirwan connection.Â

Announcing to an Australian that you ``are a cheerleader, so you don't see many football games because you are in the stands rooting'' will give a misleading impression about your devotion to the team. 2. To grow roots. ``I rooted some plants'' is practised by vegiphiles in Australia. 3. To dig or rummage. ``I was rooting around in my room for the rent money'' is done only if an Australian does not actually have the rent money.
n. An Australian may take the noun to refer to his or her sexual partner. Even so, saying ``I tripped over a root'' will occasion only the tiniest frisson of delight in your Australian correspondent; he or she will understand."
Hope this helps.
I don't think I'll be able to listen to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" the same again.
