Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I think a 2 seed in the NCAA Tourney is the most realistic outcome at this point.

Lol. If we win all the games we are favored in, we will be a 1 seed

I feel like UK will win the SEC Tournament (as is tradition) and take the final #1 seed

You think wrong.

I was a pretty good baseball player growing up till I would up in the outfield and somehow I was not gifted with the fundamental skill of depth perception. Thus my transition to football.

I was a lanky wiry twig till I was in my 20s. I was always good at baseball, but I got really good at basketball the older I got. I wasn't good at football, but it is my favorite sport to watch.

 

[Devo182]

What a douche canoe.

"begin to tell the full story." Please, tell us then Wade. I'm sure the more that comes out the better this will look for you lmfao.

Go EABODs Will

My baseball career ended in little league because all of a sudden I couldn't hit a ball or catch anything. Got moved to outfield and struck out every at bat. Turns out my vision had completely gone to crap over the summer, but by the time I got glasses/contacts, the damage was done and I already hated baseball.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I played baseball at almost the highest level and hate watching it now. It’s understandable

I don't care if you made the show, you obviously never loved the game. I don't like the mercenary nature of MLB, but I still love the game, and I always will.

 

[Devo182]

Will Wade can go run naked backwards through a field of dicks.

 

[millst987]

Well, I’m officially excited for football once again. A couple player interviews and I’m already back to 15-0.

 

[Devo182]

Does anyone know if UT has the 2 seed locked up or do we have to win Saturday to clinch?

Never that simple, but imagine the worst case:
lose to Aub, then lose 1st game SECT. Let's assume each is by 5 points. How do we feel about that? I could see being the last 2 seed or 1st 3 seed. but odds of this is silly low. Imo win just 1 tourney game and we have a 2 seed.

 

[Rishvol]

Who are these jackasses on Tennessee sport's night?

Nigel Warrior speaks


247

One of my favorite recruits from the class. I'm still holding out hope for the kiiiid. We got the coaches now. The confidence of year 2 in Pruitt's system will more than make up for the DL. Can't wait to see Warrior flying around out there. A name like that deserves to be in the NFL.

Good question, I was a decent second baseman and a solid hitter. I think it was when I moved up a league in 7th grade and couldn't break into the infield. I played so deep in the outfield as I was horrified a ball would go over my head. Thus I wound up having to sprint and make a diving or sliding play on any routine fly ball. I just couldn't tell how hard a ball was hit until it was too late. Oh well. That's why I played catcher in softball. That was fun, if I had to do it over I would have played catcher as a kid its a fun position and you are always in the action.

I loved playing centerfield, but I loved playing third even more. I was a decent contact line drive hitter, and drew a lot of walks, so I usually hit second.

The perfect El Capitan trilogy to watch — in this order — is Valley Uprising, Dawn Wall and Free Solo. All great films, the first two on Netflix now.

Valley Uprising traces the entertaining history of Yosemite climbing, particularly El Cap, and introduces you to Alex Honnold at the end, giving you a contextual sense of what a freak he really is. Then Dawn Wall tells Tommy Caldwell's crazy story along with his and Kevin Jorgeson's intense El Cap ascent, and that gives you background depth for Free Solo, in which Tommy is a huge resource for Alex.

Meru is a good background on Jimmy Chin, who made Free Solo, but of course it's separate from the El Capitan films. Damn, I love climbing films tho.

Thanks for posting, I just finished watching Free Solo on Hulu last night.

Preliminary thought:

If UT were to beat UK for either SECC tourney game or, much better, in route to a natty:

setting up a fund to take out billboard space, newspaper ads, etc in and around the Lexington area. I thought of attaching a photo of Matt Jones crying, but I decided trolls are best left starving.

Thoughts?

JG: "not much difference in the offense between this year and last year."

That's what I was afraid of. More of run-run-bail out 3rd and long in store for us? Sucks to hear. I was hoping an off chance Chaney returns to Purdue days. Back to the innovative, groundbreaking offense of run to set up PA passes, fullbacks, and 7 man fronts. Maybe we can hope to achieve the excellence of an LSU style offense that gives Bama and UF so much trouble. Impressive.

Same system does not equal same playcalling sequences. Thank god for that.

I still want Missouri's offense scheme

I love baseball and have mad respect for it. There’s just no story lines or real drama for me in it anymore. There’s no villains either.

This is why i wanted to hire a new fresher mind. But regardless Pruitt is going to only allow the offense he wants and is comfortable with.

 

[InVOLuntary]

oh ok

I think the conference tournaments carries less weight than the regular season. If the Vols make it to semis or finals and lose, I don't think that kills their chance at a one seed.
