Recruiting Football Talk VII

What’s it mean?

 

[BigOrange15]

bbbut wait its the hardest thing in sport

TIL that hitting a medium speed pitch from behind the net is the same thing as hitting major league pitching with pitch selection.

You have 100ms, or the blink of an eye’s worth of time, to decide to swing or take.

On top of that it’s a round object trying to hit another round object moving at 85-100mph.

It’s the hardest thing to do in sports and even scientific research says so.

This is so wrong. Fat, drunk guys on beer league softball teams hit balls everyday. And what a capitalistic thing, to cash in on a skill that is a God given winning lottery ticket. We should reward our comrade anorexic soccer players and javelin chuckers who endlessly toil in obscurity. I say force people to watch them and pay for the privilege. Redistribution of fans now!
Besides soccer is a perfectly safe alternative to barbaric and oppressive American sports.

I dont think we'd soil ourselves. Undoubtedly its one of the most difficult things to do consistently in sport. Granted someone who throws 90+ can do something most people cannot, and it DOES take a great deal of mechanics to do so. Hitting it is in same vein. Saying an MLB athlete is even near the same level athlete as an Olympian, soccerx player, or triathlete - those things are not in same realm.

Also hitting a baseball isnt akin to throwing a javelin, pole vailting, or even doing a gymnastics routine. Bartolo Colon and Fernando Valenzuela wept.

You’re comparing niche sports to another niche sport and think it’s a level playing field. Not so fast my friend

Leave the blunt crayon alone. He thinks the pygmies are in New Guinea.

Lord I apologize, be with these younguns and the starving pygmies in New Guinea

love that science gets used when it's beneficial and refuted when it fits an agenda. i agree it's difficult. but it isnt same as any of those other things. nor are they the same thing.

I’m very intrigued what topics you’re referring to lol

 

[mrMet]

.... and the Titans... continue to Titan.View attachment 636694

You mean to tell me the team with the worst LT play in the league over the last two years, taking the best LT in the draft, is a bad thing???

 

[Jackcrevol]

I’m very intrigued what topics you’re referring to lol

nope

 

[knoxvol52]

Patiently waiting on Igor, Okpara, and Lanier to commit to Basketvols.

 

[mrMet]

...Joe Alt is an excellent pick for the Titans? lol. Especially if Nabers is already gone.

Imagine the guy sh*tting on the titans year round, admittedly saying he doesn’t follow close enough to know the details, turn and keep sh*tting on them. Definition of insanity

Other than the Center, Left Tackle is most important position on Offensive Line . Especially in NFL.

Okpara is a vol now

 

[Orange.]

 

[knoxvol52]

Okpara is a vol now

Really that's great ..

 

[mrMet]

nope

Probably because the science wouldn’t be on your side

 

[Jackcrevol]

yes!

 

[knoxvol52]

That probably means Awaka is gone ..

 

[Enki_Amenra]

any of you know anything about honey bees? Man at work says his neighbor has a few hives. He said one of the hives went crazy. If anything gets anywhere near them, they attack. Not just a few bees, but the entire hive attacks. Said his neighbor's dog got attacked and they attacked his neighbor (the beekeeper) while mowing the yard. He explained it like a pissed off yellow jacket attack, but with thousands more honey bees.

He says the guy has had the same hive for a few years and they just suddenly became enraged. He also said it wasn't a one-time attack. They attacked the man and dog one day, then the man again the next day and then again yesterday morning. Apparently the beekeeper is gonna execute the hive.

Any idea why a normally docile hive will flip out like that and attack anything living with 100' of the hive? I kinda wonder if a carpenter bee got into the hive. . . but I dont know if they would even act that way if something like that happened.

I've never really heard of honey bees attacking like killer bees.

And lo and behold the titans addressed that issue in FA! It’s amazing isn’t it lol

 

[vol_in_ga]

Who?

Having a playable 3 deep on the DL is a huge deal for surviving the SEC schedule. Now if we could just get there with the OL.

 

[Orange.]

That probably means Awaka is gone ..

Yes. I think he was leaving either way. He's a good guy. There's some talk about him this morning in the portal thread.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Thanks

 

[knoxvol52]

Yes. I think he was leaving either way. He's a good guy.

Yea hope he does well wherever he ends up playing.

The same for Aidoo, its a business now.

 

[InVOLuntary]

That probably means Awaka is gone ..

Yep. Barnes left the door open and then someone else walked in and he promptly shut it.

 

[vol_in_ga]

That probably means Awaka is gone ..

Imo it means Aidoo can no longer return. The 5 spot vs Awaka is a 4. Awaka maybe could still. If Igor commits, awakas spot is gone. Imo
