As we wintnessed in our dismal performance against Nebraska, we just do not have the talent, particularily on the offensive side of the ball. Next year and the years after USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon will become fierce competitors for talent when they join the BigTen. We simply must have the means to attract top talented athlete for us to compete. Please consider contributing to the Boilermaker Alliance, as I have, to assist in our ability to compete and become the best. Presently we are a laggard in the Big Ten and we must quickly catchup.
