Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Smokey123]

I don’t see the talent being enough for the season to be telling

The reason I say it is because if he goes 5-7 or even 6-6 I don’t see him ever being elite here. He’s gonna have to show he can make up some of that talent and “over achieve”, I don’t see UT being consistent top 3 in talent within the next couple years. He’ll have to show he’s great before we truly have elite(top 3) recruiting classes imo

Nobody will want to play us in 2020. We'll be dangerous. I say 9 win floor in 2020.

Vandy vs A&M is a rough game...both of these teams look pretty trash.

Understatement!..how did vandy almost beat us obviously a “fluke” game

 

[drvenner]

It wasnt a shot at him. He seems very likable and genuine with the guys he coaches and the few people I know who have met him said he was a very likable guy. Regardless of the fact he coaches at UK.

But I think he has played coaching politics (with the media and his fanbase) with his typical 1 and done guys.

I thought your post was positive about him. I was agreeing with you.

I think we broke them after that comeback. Literally played out of their minds in the best game of their season at home and to still lose, seems after that the "dog" in em was gone.

Love EB. But if you got a lot of money but only worked less than 10% of the time what would you do? Replace with someone who would be on the job. Its. A. Business

Don't care. I love EB.

Kitchens isn’t taking them anywhere. They’ll be made fun of now for underachieving. Rather than just plain sucking.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Y’all are right. We won’t go 10-2. We’ll go 11-1

 

[drvenner]

How many excited about BassMaster Classic in Knoxville this weekend?

I love to bass fish and have fished these waters all my life. I can’t wait to see what these guys can do.

They are expecting nearly 150,000 visitors this weekend. Official weigh-in will be at TBA.

Why do they make the fishermen get on the scales? It's not like they have weight classes in professional fishing. Give me a freaking break.

Maybe 3 years

I agree.thier big man and Tutu I think is his name along with thier point guard,all 3 were factors before that game and giving them the best “Play”.i could definitely see that being the case that game was completely down to the wire.

 

[drvenner]

So you can use quote...good job, but the "Don't be petty" wasn't me talking to Sweet...nice try though.

She literally went back and quoted you like you dared her to do. Take your lumps and take a lap.

Just get me 6 wins for a bowl game this year

 

[Catbone]

Yep

The only way to truly know if they’re “self made” is to look at their families background and break it down that way. Not every “self made” millionaire starts at the same levels. Someone who had rich successful business parent(s) has more advantages than someone who’s parent(s) made 50k a year working at a bank.

Yep. I spoke about this yesterday and knew the issue could get a lot of discussion. Hard to make blanket statements. I am the one who brought up Zuckerberg. His parents were probably middle class, but it’s difficult to deny that his money is self made. As I stated the Baby Boomers and the tech boom have created many wealthy people who are self made. JMO.

Anyone use K-cups for their coffee. We had a keurig machine until last fall when my wife brought this freaking piece of junk in by Hamilton beach. She said it is better because we can now brew a whole lot of coffee instead of just a single serve. I said well that is ok I guess. Until I realized it didn't store heated water like the keurig. You have to put water in it each time and it has to heat it up. I could go out side and rub two sticks together and build a fire and percolate a pot cowboy style by the time this piece of crap makes a cup. I'm for speed. I would rather not buy another keurig because of the proprietary nature of the their brewers. I'm looking at a cuisenart. Anyone got any personal experience that they can share?
