It is saying I have reached my limit of posts on my free account. I don't get my private messages being deleted however.

I do not understand it either. I do not understand why you would have a limit of posts on the free board. I understand that you cannot initiate a private message, but you should be able to receive one. I do not understand why a message would be deleted. I have not seen this happen before. The only thing I can suggest is to speak to Louie. He can contact the technical people at rivals head office. I cannot.
The vast majority of people are great fans and great people. With everything you have haters. Most Jangos haters are actually haters of me and take it out on my son. But he and I are both very pleased we picked NU for him to chase his dreams. Jango and Larkin show why Northwestern should be very high on a recruits list.
I don't think one person here has any issue at all with Jango. If they do, I don't know why they would. This is a football fan board and we wish nothing but the best for our players in school and on the field.
Any "hate" somehow perceived as directed toward Jango is an unfortunate side effect of many of his father's posts on these boards, and is only directed at the latter.
Political posts shouldn't bleed over to the football side of the board. And those political posts shouldn't be taken so personally. And there isn't anyone I am upset with for having or posting their political views on the Rant boards. We all have our views from where we come from and the lives we have lived. My life has been different than others and thus my views are different. I left an abusive life and went off to the Green Beret at age 17. My views are going to be quite different than most who went off to college .

grading players is socially acceptable. I'm sorry if you get offended at that gocatsgo.

You don’t have to defend yourself. You’ve never done anything that needs to be defended. Especially not here where you have one guy posting as two different people having conversations with each other. And then there’s a former NU recruiting staffer who alienates everybody for no good reason when he could be gracious.
Don’t worry about your reputation; you’re awesome and anybody questioning you or your motives is completely in the wrong. Most people here recognize the good guys and you’re a good guy.
I'm not sure if it's true but I heard that other schools pull their scholarships if a player gets hurt. I know Fitz is a man of his word and that our injured players aren't kicked to the curb. Fitz is a class act. Not sure if other NU coaches do this or other football programs but I know we take care of our players, stars or not.
I actually think Fitz has nothing to do with the scholarship process. Once a player medically retires, he (or she) is no longer counted against a teams scholarship limit and the scholarship can be awarded to another student. Seems to me to be more of a University decision whether or not to honor it
The scholarship will be honored by the B1G. Northwestern will file Jangos case and then the B1G will cover all the expense of his scholarship . He will receive everything he got while being a member of the team, without the grind of doing football.
When Tommy Fuessel couldn’t play, people never said he sucked because word leaked his condition was serious and people admired him. In your son’s case nothing leaked so the jerks here said he sucked. Funny how misinformed people leap to conclusions. Now we have people saying Rod Campbell sucks but they don’t really know the injuries he’s had or how much it has set him back. Unfair.
I do think college football needs a much more transparent system for injury reporting and eligibility. It should be uniform and compulsory. That way nobody has an unfair strategic advantage. The NFL system isn’t perfect but it’s a lot more transparent than most FBS programs.
Wow, this thread has become a real soap opera and a classic example of why we all should strive to stick to sports topics on a sports board. I can only wish Jango and all other NU athletes who've had to cut their careers short due to injury the best of luck. The road to the future can take many directions.
We hear about only half of the injuries that have knocked kids down or off the depth chart. All of us have jumped to conclusions in the past. I don’t blame Fitz though he certainly takes his injury report more seriously it’s warranted. I blame the nebulous system of injury reporting in FBS. Every conference has different rules, it seems, and I’m not sure any of them enforce their rules as strictly as they should.
I'm not understanding why this is confidential information. I'm not asking you for your "real name," but instead your previous online handle so I can try to recall a previous conversation about McSorley that apparently occurred.
Man, give it a rest. You've come off horribly this whole thread, and I'm considering the three posters in this thread I have on ignore!
What more do you need to recall than you bring dead wrong? You didn’t think he was anything special
Sorry to bring the topic back on track ... any guesses as to the game time they will set for the NU vs. ND game?
Big games that week are:
#1 Alabama vs #5 LSU
#6 Michigan vs #18 Penn State
#7 Texas vs #13 West Virginia
#8 Georgaa vs #14 Kentucky
Given these possibilities for night, I'm guessing 2:30pm ... what do other think?

I agree. No way ND kicks at 11:00 and won't be a high enough profile game for night time.
Catsdad,
Sorry to hear it. Been dealing with a labrum since college and it's a bitch of an injury. He's going to have an NU degree and is a great young man. It's still a win.

Thank you very much. I feel bad because he never had a chance. He tears it at IMG Academy the first game and plays the season on it. He insisted on playing with it hurt because his team needed him. I am sure it caused much more damage than if he would have just had surgery when it happened. He got surgery at the end of his senior year and lost 20 lbs from the surgery and arrived at Northwestern at 185 lbs. He works his butt off rehabbing and his redshirt year and gets to 230 lbs only to blow it out at summer camp. He tries to play with it torn and on special teams it pops out third game and is carted off the field. He has surgery and drops down to 209 lbs. Works his butt off and gets to 220 lbs while working his speed and agility and doing extra shoulder work. He is waiting for a year from his surgery to be up so he can finally see the field. He is legit the #2 Mike and ready to play special teams . The week he is eligible he blows it out in practice. And now he is told he is done before he ever got a chance
That time has scared me ever since I read Amityville Horror like 35 years ago. I know that was 3:15 a.m., but it still frightens me nonetheless. Hopefully it'll frighten Notre Dame even more.
Is he definitely retiring or thinking about a grad transfer year? Guys get a med hardship at one school but can play elsewhere. Might be fun to head back to Ohio and play for Mount union or a program like that.
Ugh, very very sorry to hear this. Was greatly looking forward to Jango playing. Wish nothing but the best for you and him.
I actually feel like these kind of career ending injuries should be one of the strongest recruiting reasons for going to NU.
Every players football career could end tomorrow, but you still get the opportunity to walk out the door with an NU degree.
As a NU alum, a supporter and fan of our program, and someone who follows this board simply to learn about the team, I am truly embarrassed that you had to write this. You and your son deserve so much better. I wish you both the very best.

FWIW, said poster is pretty much a condenscending a-hole to everyone, and he never went to NU. So, please don't take it personally and don't consider him representative of the fan base whom he is always talking down to. He rests his laurels on the fact that he cut magazine clippings of recruits and got coffee for the real coaches. That may be a hair better than most of us schleps on this board, but be assured that it isn't worth dirt relative to the opinions of 20 Division I staffs, including Northwestern's. I probably should have put a period after the word dirt. Of course, you didn't need me to point that out to know it. Best of luck to Jango and given how hard he works and how luck always evens out in the end, with an NU degree, he is certain to succeed in whatever he pursues. Northwestern's REAL FANZ are behind him.

I appreciate it. He will meet the doctor at 3 today They will conference call me I am wanting to know if cutting him open and repairing the socket and the labrum would be better than the less invasive way I don't know if cutting into nerves and muscle would be worst than not doing a total shoulder repair He is screwed shoulder wise for life, just want the least worst
I diod not realize it was the conference that covered the scholarship in medical cases
