John is a football school. Most male athletes come for football with the winter and spring sports benefiting. We have several basketball starters each year that are football players.

They did sign 9 from Ky last year not including preferred walk ons. Eastern Kentucky University Athletics - EKU Football Adds 17 Signees to the Colonel Program

Everyone knows Matt will need to lose 30-40 pounds when he hits his college program. How hard do you guys think it will be for a guy that size to accomplish this task while working out under college trainers? I played a little college football myself and was a pretty big guy. I had no trouble cutting weight when I had no choice but to run my butt off with everyone else. It's amazing what a person can do when you are pushed beyond your limits and you have to get up the next day and do it all over. We had guys disappear in the middle of the night because they couldn't handle it. I don't think Matt will be one of those guys, and I say he drops the weight easily within the first 4-6 weeks.

It's funny there our coaches who make millions of dollars a year to recruit the best knocking down his door. Maybe you should call them and give them your opinion since you seen him play.

Elam has never been in trouble or suspended. He is a really good kid, but I agree he may love the spotlight a little too much. As soon as he signs his LOI all that goes away.

I sure Elam doesn't give two scoops about what our opinions are. You know the saying "Opinions are like asses and elbows everyone has one". I was just trying to give everyone some info on the Kid since I actually know him, but I'll let the haters continue to hate. Good day!

So let me get this straight. Our Mr. Football attacks Elam on tweeter. Elam defends himself, Mr. Football deletes his nasty comment, Elam doesn't and he is the bad guy. Regarding the All American Game and announcing. Elam goes into the game undecided, gets pressure from the network to give them his decision days before the game because they needed to know to stage the announcement. He tells them he is not ready. They put pressure on him to make a decision. He refers to family and coaches and they decide as a group to wait to signing day. From my understanding, this is the only beef he had with the All American game. Here is some info from the Lexington newspaper regarding the ebay listing. Matt Elam’s All-American jersey shows up on eBay | Football recruiting | Kentucky.com I think it is really unfair to judge Matt based off of hear say and social media. I know the kid personally and he is a great guy who has a big heart. Just like a lot of people in the news who have bad reps you only hear about the negative never the good.

What do you think about Neuman's stats? Where they decent, outstanding, or do you think he struggled like you claimed Elam did. You are right about these awards, they usually go to the kids who get press. But hating on these players and trying to down play their accomplishments is foolish. If a athlete is able to improve his stock by attending camps and combines and put his name out there more power to him. I feel bad for the kids that don't get those opportunities, especially if they are capable of playing at the next level. In Elam's case he didn't have to go that route. Colleges came knocking on his door. What gets you noticed for these awards more than anything is college offers.

Sounds like your talking in circles. I asked you to tell us about all the other great defense players out there you referred to. I'm sure you can name many Linebackers that had more tackles but please tell us about some linemen that had as big of an impact for teams than Elam did. Do you know how many teams had to game plan around him? Saying he isn't worthy of being nominated or winning some of these awards is pretty dumb. Personally I like Fant for Mr. Football.

Feel free to tell us all about the others since your so knowledgeable about defensive lineman. I would like to hear about them.

Matt Elam's stats for the year. 84 tackles, 15 for loss, 4 sacks. Also Matt has the school record for blocked field goals and punts which he has many each year. Keep in mind he did this getting double teamed on most plays. Not to shabby for a d lineman in my book. Call me crazy I guess. :jump:

What a game. Congrats to Bowling Green on the win. I'm very proud of the way our boys fought their way back into this game. I believe everyone at the start thought it would be a repeat blowout like the 2011 game. Our boys sure showed a lot of heart in this game. Congrats to Coach Lewis on his successful first year as head coach. Bowling Green I would wish you luck in the state game but I don't think you will need it. I'm starting to think you guys brew up the luck in that purple drink you guys keep talking about. Can you pass the recipe our way? Lol.

We were a big underdog going into the game last year, and nearly pulled off the upset. I don't expect it to be as close this year especially if Elam doesn't play. However, there is a reason you play the game. You never know when the football gods may smile down on you and things go your way. John Hardin is due for one of those games. Good Luck to both teams!

It won't be much of a game. First round playoffs games are usually dull. I say John wins 46-0.
