I sometimes think that our Huskers could be the type of program that could combine all of the ideals that everyone sees across the country. We have a small but passionate population base that produces large, well fed, kids of Northern European genetic origin. We have to grab skill players nationally. So my questions is this, does Nebraska have the unique opportunity of being that team that recruits Texas, California, Arizona and Florida better than northern schools, recruits Big Ten country well, and has our walk on base. Do we have a situation where we could potentially combine all of the best things from every region in the United States not in spite of our limited population base, but DUE to our limited population base. Basically, could we combine SEC speed with Big Ten power?

Thought they did that in the 90's???
I thought it sounded familiar.
I don't know, it's just that there's a lot of negative nancies out there who say that we can't compete for the fast recruits, that we don't have the location that recruits would pick over Southern Cal, Florida, Miami, Alabama, Texas etc. I was just thinking positive for the future, I think that the things that have made the program successful in the past can certainly continue to make us successful in the future.
I'm on board with the northern european part but you lost me on the rest. 
Yes. Vee have dee master race of linemen. (Wth?)I'm on board with the northern european part but you lost me on the rest.
You know what I mean, all those big bodied boys we've had in the past with hard to pronounce names.
Yeah I guess the better question, and the question that I would have is can the program be there again. Can they get back to the point that they were at in 1998 coming off a national title with all of the recruiting power in the country.
It used to be.
Yeah, actually noticed that too. Aside from Will Shields, it seemed like a bunch of white kids on the O-line for a number of years. Certainly not by design, but just how it worked out.
If we're going to apply racial and geographical stereotypes to any position, it has to be fullback. Nebraska has a long tradition of white fullbacks from Nebraska. Off the top of my head:
Tom Rathman, Cory Schlesinger, Jeff Makovicka, Joel Makovicka, Judd Davies, Tyler Legate, Billy Legate, C.J. Zimmerer, Paul Kastl, Micah Heibl, Mark Schellen, and many more.
