Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXIV

Is it that bad there?

Parts of it absolutely.

Antioch ties into Brentwood. Area unofficial name Brentioch. It's ok there.

Rewatching this UT v aTm game. My word we should have beat them by 21 points. I've lost count of turnovers inside the 20. Hopefully ball bounces are way this year

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Soccer is a contact unpadded sport unlike baseball where you complain about a bat flip. talk about snowflakes. The one bit of contact at the Home plate was deemed illegal because of how pansy the sport of baseball is. Baseball players should be wearing sundresses with how anti contact they are.

i can pull up flops from any sport. Chris Bosh, that DL when we played Bowling Green, Gaulden vs Florida, etc. Get a better argument

Is it that bad there?

No. I lived on the west side close to Brentwood and it's not that bad. There are some really bad parts, but you know when you're in them, so don't find a place to live in those areas. Nippers Corner area is right outside Antioch and has some nice but affordable apartments.

 

[chavisut]

Antioch is a rather large area.

I love soccer, but baseball is the game that my Papaw and uncles played and made me learn to love. Baseball was the National Past time. Baseball has an acquired taste to it. A game like chess where every pitch sets up another pitch, where every steal, bunt, hit and run is trying to set up, getting a runner in scoring position or getting that runner home. A game of stregy and numbers. Every stat in baseball is recorded and if u know how to read a box score, u can almost tell every play of the game. It's slowly dying too, unless your city has a major league team. I know I sound old, but kids and u catbone, think it's boring with not enough action. But, if u know what u are looking for, there is action and especially strategy in every pitch, every pick-off move, every pitcher/catcher meeting on the mound and everytime, even the pitcher wants a new ball. They call soccer the "Beautiful Game" and it is, but to me, baseball is just as beautiful and to the true baseball aficionado, it's the perfect game.

But football is still more beautiful and the greastest game ever created.

Dog is my friend and kindred spirit. Right on post brother. Except I really can't stand soccer.

The apartment complex is supposed to be close to the highway.

Brentwood here on Long Island is a nightmare. MS-13 killin' everybody out here.

McElwain?...

That you?

That you?

I was hoping to catch a glimpse of ol Jimmy.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

mcelwain?...

That you?

😂😂😂😂

 

[SergeantVol]

it's a small flip to show off. its not being used as a weapon.

That 200 lb collision is illegal in baseball.

Soccer players weigh between 160 and 180 lbs. running for 90 minutes won't allow you to bulk up.

baseball is not physical and coffee is awful poison.

Just your coffee comment let me know the rest is BS!

 

[orangefreak21]

There is so much talent on the roster.

Secondary should be a great unit and the best we've had under Butch thus far.

We just need the QB to be a game manager not carry the load. We'll turn out to be a lot better than most think.

 

[orangefreak21]

Can't wait for fall camp to start and then on to Gtech



GBFO

 

[franklinpence]

Is it that bad there?

No. Some dicey areas, but it is quickly improving. Has a well-earned bad rep for communities around Nashville, but like I said, it's getting better and bad in Nashville could be a lot worse

The flops don't bother me so much as the body language. In other sports when guys flop they get up, laugh at the other guy, and jog off. Usually there's a shifty grin involved or something.

In soccer when someone flops, he scrunches his face up and writhes in agony like he's just been poisoned or just found out his boyfriend has been cheating on him or something.


Like dude, have some dignity. I get it, flops are a part of the game, but there's no use in literally working yourself up to tears.

Let me hit you with a 95 MPH fastball in the ribs then lets talk. Or you weeze as you mumble something thru the blood gathering in your mouth.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

take a 97mph 4 seam to the chin and lets see

I think a lot of people don't understand the nards it takes just to stand and let a 90+ (hell, even mid 80s pitch) go by you when you KNOW it's going to be a strike, let alone when it's a pitcher who struggles with control or is trying to back you off the plate.


Knowing that doesn't necessarily make it interesting to watch, I know (I love baseball and usually can only watch teams I'm invested in). But once you get to the levels where everybody is throwing mid 80s up, batting is scary as s***.

I lost my fuzzies for it in 9th grade... and curiously, began playing HS football

You couldn't throw a 95mph fastball standing in the bed of a truck going 80mph.

How's the baseball in your neck of the woods?

Similar to what football players do when they fake injuries to slow down a no huddle offense.
