Tuesday: Links with unemployment

Story of the day:
Seattle LB commits to Broncos [Scout.com]

Chalk up another one for proactive Bronco recruiting.

According to Scout.com, O'Dea (Seattle, WA) linebacker Allen Mooney has given a verbal commitment to Boise State, choosing the Broncos over an offer from Army and interest from Pac-10 schools like Washington and Oregon. How did the Broncos land him? Judging by the lede of the Scout story, it may have been that his height was an issue for some teams.
He may not be the tallest linebacker in America, but Allen Mooney carries some big game with him. And the 5-foot-11, 215-pound Mooney - from O'Dea High School in Seattle - will be taking that big game to the Gem State...
A 5'-11" linebacker is not the end of the world, so if other schools were scared off by Mooney's size, we are happy to have him. Of course, it's not an official verbal commitment until the Statesman says it is, so give them a week or so to catch wind of the story and do whatever fact-checking they do.

Also, check out Fight Fight BSU for some Mooney video.

I would have chosen a college, too, based on their making a personal comic book of myself.

  2. Looks like you got spammed by a bot that tracks uses of the word "Unemployment"

    Good Luck!

  3. Interesting, Richard. Are you aware of any jobs for a 24-year-old Fiesta Bowl champion who has an increasingly high sense of self and admirable leadership qualities but whose drawbacks include spotty time management, occasional lapses in decision-making, and an aversion to the state of Georgia? Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. It is commenters like you who make the OBNUG community a special place.
