Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Sleegro]

Wish we coulda pulled the Gatewood QB from Auburn who is now going to KY... he is good/legit. He will give us fits for the next few years....

Pass.

 

[Pepe]

If that's the case then just give up on the cowboys they are a lost cause

 

[SLICKYINC]

I think if there wasn’t an early signing period it would be better. Teams like us that have a late surge don’t really have enough time for that “look at me” period. Most people already know pretty much where they going.

Wut

I was thinking you were reading my mind until "Mary, Did You Know".....

While I acknowledge their skill, I have to walk out of the room when church folk hear Pentatonix do “Mary did you know?” They are like Elaine’s boyfriend with Desperado in Seinfeld

 

[FranklinVFL]

Then become a Rutgers fan, Jimmy. You won't be missed.

I hear their fans are “sharper”

This.... It would have been used against us if we had hired him. Even if he was innocent it would have been used against us by the media (who want to defend him now because they want to decide right and wrong) and in recruiting.

I literally have no idea what movie that is, but she is not difficult to behold

The movie gives new meaning to the words of that song..Imma big softie, but that hit me in the feels..

 

[FranklinVFL]

Does anyone else only think of Jerry Tarkanian when they see the letters UNLV?

And those UNLV vs. LMU track meets.

 

[Type Orange+]

All 3 of 'em.

Favorite Christmas music:

Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Oh Holy Night
Who would’ve Dreamed

Secular songs:
Tennessee Christmas
Christmas in Dixie
Blue Christmas

Songs I turn off:
Momma kissing Santa claus
Silent night by the temptations
Hippo for Christmas

Man I was literally about to mention Who Would’ve Dreamed since I figured no one would know it. Awesome song.

Between your ears & in your index finger (at least in my line of work).

I am pretty capable when it comes to learning new software though, I've self-taught quite a few from forums/tutorials and video lessons. So usually when the need arises for someone to learn something at work I am in the class. It's just frustrating because there's a big age gap in my field so you got basically two sets of workers. Those that should have retired and those that got a few decades to go....

Those that should have retired like to ask a lot of questions and make comments during training classes, beyond annoying week. But the software is pretty good and the trainer did a great job relaying it, so I was able to finish early and leave.

I’ve been doing sweet edits for recruits in PowerPoint and posting them online. I put “Turnmeupdesigns” at the bottom. I get so many likes

I’m of the theology she DID KNOW

Mary be like,

“Yo... did you even glance at Luke and Matthew or are you just writing whatever lyrics you want?”

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Favorite traditional Christmas song(s):
Silent Night
O Holy Night
O Come All Ye Faithful

Favorite secular Christmas song:
This Christmas (John Legend does a pretty good version)
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
I'll Be Home For Christmas

Songs I turn off immediately:
Christmas Shoes
12 Days of Christmas
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Grandma Got Run Over
Santa Baby
Baby It's Cold Outside
Wonderful Christmas Time
Jingle Bell Rock
Rudolph
Frosty
Silver Bells
Little Drummer Boy
Mary Did You Know
& so many more.

This kinda makes me feel like a Scrooge...

Why do you hate Mary did you know? Seen a couple of folks do that...and why do all you guys hate "fun" Christmas songs...you ain't the only Grinch.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Have to admit I am a bit surprised that we aren't hear more positive buzz in recruiting... AtlVol seemed to convey things were going to heat up and get crazy and I haven't heard a peep. I know the staff has been out on the road, so hopefully it pays dividends because we gotta close strong. Really good story to tell and show of our season and what happens when you ALL buy in... should quell negative recruiting except for the talk of Pruitt will move you from offense to defense... that his a legit concern he is probably having to explain on the road...

He said the next two weeks were going to be really nutty with lots of twists and turns. They are heating up their recruiting, but we probably won't know who it is having an effect on until after the last recruiting weekend or signing day.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think I'd rather listen to that terrible McCartney song before Last Christmas. They are both nails on chalkboard to my ears though. How is Last Christmas so popular?

Just going by this board, it seems like the most hated...weird.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Oh, and Thistlehair is a song for kids y’all crusty old men

I haaaaate that stoopid song..

 

[jkleno]

And those UNLV vs. LMU track meets.

LMU= Hank Gathers

 

[highspeed]

Lol, was a whole bunch of harm done. Ask the Grunenites. Harmed their sanity and salty azzes...

I think some of them still have me on ignore for saying Gruden was overrated by our fan base and that he would never be a college football coach.

 

[LA Vol]

TJB no longer visiting... I'm disappoint

Yep, we needed that visit. Pushing hard for Wren now, so we need that visit to go well. He wants to play right away.

Small can catch out of the backfield, and Washington is a strong pass-catcher. Beckwith has the versatility to be a pass-catching TE. Count on Pruitt to take guys he can move around, so we'll have options. He's probably already thinking about using Wren's speed at safety.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Seriously. It’s one of the most annoying things on this board.

“Hey guys, let’s list our favorite Christmas songs!”

Kingston- “sure, mine is Pruitt roasting on an open fahr, and Pruitt got run over by coach Fulmer, and that old time classic silent night, fahr him tonight”

Lololol

 

[Mullins2010]

F that

Sold my pair for 1000

 

[SweetasSoda]

Man I was literally about to mention Who Would’ve Dreamed since I figured no one would know it. Awesome song.

Had to look it up. How have I missed this? Will have to sing it.

 

[RockyTopInBham]

Why do you hate Mary did you know? Seen a couple of folks do that...and why do all you guys hate "fun" Christmas songs...you ain't the only Grinch.

Luke 1. Gabriel tells her very clearly the future and legacy of Jesus. And the entire song is from the perspective of like "did you know this was gonna happen?!" Short answer from Mary probably "uh yeah". It's always felt like a weird one to sing congregationally, too.

As for the fun songs, idk. They just get old quick for me nowadays. I do thoroughly enjoy the Grinch though (Jim Carrey version).

What about Ramon out of Cali?

 

[WriterVol]

Just going by this board, it seems like the most hated...weird.

It's divisive at least. Most people I've ever heard talk about it don't like it, but it's always at or near the top of radio played and requested lists.

Boggling.

 

[JacketVol]

Give me an update when you get back, as to how you liked it. We want to take a DISNEY cruise sometime, too. We are heading back to Disney World in February.

Y’all ever stay at the poly
