Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[jlawso21]

Well, gents...thought we were getting a lot of furloughs at the office this afternoon and instead I got a call first thing this morning saying I was getting a big promotion. Hopefully doesn't mean furloughs for others though.

Prolly means you will be swinging the axe on the next tranche, gotta earn them spurs.

Can't say I hate the black Power T on the helmet...

Using skinfold calipers?

No. I wish. Not real accurate foot biometrics.

Do you have calipers you recommend?

Depends on your budget. I got some medical ones off EBay a few years ago. I’m using slimguide here. The actual BF% equations vary. Just tracking MM drops from the same measurement spots is a better measure of progress. I tested at 8.45% Sunday, but belly skinfold is 6 and I need to see 3mm to be really happy this round. Not sure if my quads will ever get lean but I’m giving it a run

That is what i do - track from previous numbers to see the percent change.

but i think i will look into calipers - would rather be a little more accurate.

Currently sitting at 12.8% - i was under 10% and happy with that, but I haven't been in a routine at all lately. Just starting again now.

Are these actual things they're considering or just a mock up?

I like the black shirts with orange letters they wore against South Carolina and the orange pants. They needed black stripes on the orange pants though instead of white.

I struggle with the helmets though. The white with orange T and stripe looked off in the SC game. I don't think I like the white with black letters. I'd probably rather have black helmets with an orange T and stripe.

I'd much rather a black helmet with a white T. Solid black unis head to toe with white accents would look nice.

Then you have the other idiots that believe everything they hear

How bout the people who believe everything they read? It's the "if it's written, it must be true" crowd.

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

not true, but thanks. It can vary from 30 minutes to a month

All depends on how quickly the DeLorean is moving through the wormhole.

How were you testing, BIA scale or handheld or otherwise?

If we're going to do black on the helmet, I would like a black helmet that fades to charcoal and white around the orange T with no stripe. Same on the black uniform to the numbers.

Literally just let the players pick the one they like the most. Recruits will love it too

 

[UTK]

Orange needs to be somewhere in the unis.

If you let kids pick anything they will have us wearing some pink or chartreuse bullcrap..

 

[The Dog]

Black helmets with an orange Power T, black jerseys with orange numbers and black pants with orange stripe(s), plus black shoes with an orange swoosh, imo

Lol give them a bunch of reasonable option and let em vote on it! Win win

If there's a year to go wild with a uni it's this year. We may not even finish or have a season

 

[SmokinBob]

Anybody in here own a Blackstone Griddle grill? What are your thoughts on it?

We got a small one to use when we‘re traveling the RV - Mr Smokin loves to cook on it and we all love everything he cooks! He got rid of his Green Egg and his gas grill at home and bought a larger one so now we have two!

 

[you]

I was hoping black/black with orange numbers and trim

 

[Devo182]

Grown people trying to choose which costume players should dress up in...miss me with this nonsense. Just play football

Why did he get rid of the Green Egg? I thought that was supposed to be the greatest thing in grilling.
