Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

RIP

I'm ready

I've always wondered if they realize how goofy they look in that photo. That's the least scary picture of people with guns I've ever seen. They look like the bad guys in a scene from a comedy film.

Georgia’s greatest class of all time

lmao

Summary? It's blocked to non-subs.

Just a repost for the “Jack played against weak competition“ arguments that have resurfaced:

The Leaderboard for the 1986 Masters:
1. Jack Nicklaus
2. Tom Kite (1 major - HOF)
3. Greg Norman (2 majors - HOF)
4. Seve Ballesteros (5 majors - HOF)
5. Nick Price (3 majors - HOF)
6. Tom Watson (8 majors - HOF)
T8. Payne Stewart (3 majors - HOF)
T8. Bob Tway (1 major)
T11. Sandy Lyle (2 majors - HOF)
T11. Corey Pavin (1 major)
T16. Bernhard Langer (2 majors - HOF)
T16. Ben Crenshaw (2 majors - HOF)

Still can't believe Keopka handed Tiger the Masters

He didn't. Tiger won . Quit whining. Many have gagged away wins throughout their career. You sure that Jack never got lucky in any of his Majors wins?

 

[drvenner]

I shot 88 last week you dang hillbilly!

On the front or the back nine?

Also, for people that say the greats of the past wouldn’t be able to compete in today’s game:

- Sam Snead in the 30s won a Masters long drive competition at ~330 yards with a smooth face persimmon driver and wound-core ball. I think he would do ok with a Callaway Mavrik and a ProV1.

- Jack Nicklaus finished 6th at the Masters in 1998, at age 58.

-Tom Watson lost the 2009 British Open in a playoff at age 59.

Good players adapt to new conditions. The argument that they couldn’t succeed on lengthened courses with today’s technology doesn’t hold up.

And TrippieRedd breaks course record of most lost balls in one round (35) at Centennial.

Nobody is arguing that. Just that none of them hold a candle to Tiger. Cause they don’t.

Better idea. Stick today's young players with Persimmon woods, balata balls that spin twice as much, and crappy a$$ conditions...............and see what they shoot.

 

[UTProf]

Could question.i never heard anything like that..the Daniel Helm nugget was super sad but we knew why he left.

What did Helm do that pissed Jones off so much? I remember it started over something small but I'm trying to recall why Butch went full-Bobby-Knight abuse mode on him. Honestly, there should be some kind of criminal and/or punishment for that level of bullying a player. It's an abuse of power in one of the worst ways possible. I know schools would never want to be the one that set the precedent because it would reflect poorly on them but it's the kind of thing that should've allowed UT to fire Jones on the spot 'for cause' and without paying him a thing. Of course, there are a number of things in his tenure that should qualify and I'm not talking about his coaching.

Players are now bigger, stronger, more distance, better short games.

Jack’s game would not stand up today the way it did then

 

[bignewt]

Huh?

Leb was our resident number cruncher for years on here, countless posts about scholarships we had, where we were against the 85, how our staff lied to recruits, etc... a real ball buster.

Gotcha. Can’t say I have any recollection of that but my memory is for **** anyways.

They would adapt. It would probably take a season, but they would figure it out.

I think the biggest adjustment would be putting. Old greens were so shaggy and inconsistent. Today’s greens at some tournaments are slick as glass.

Gotcha. Can’t say I have any recollection of that but my memory is for **** anyways.

He had a couple of different names on here, can't remember what the first one was. He claimed he lived in the Caribbean, I think he was a parody honestly.

 

[barrylee]

Look at Tiger's winning percentage even after his latter years of injuries, its unbelievable. No one is or ever has come close.
Tiger is the goat!! IMO

 

[eVOLve]

The Leaderboard for the 1986 Masters:
1. Jack Nicklaus
2. Tom Kite (1 major - HOF)
3. Greg Norman (2 majors - HOF)

5. Nick Price (3 majors - HOF)

T11. Sandy Lyle (2 majors - HOF)
T11. Corey Pavin (1 major)
T16. Bernhard Langer (2 majors - HOF)
T16. Ben Crenshaw (2 majors - HOF)

Yes, Jack was known for feasting on weak competition.

All would be inferior to today's golfers imo.

These guys wouldn't even make the cut today.

 

[pierce60]

Something else to consider in this Jack/Tiger debate.....in Nicklaus’ day they weren’t “Jack-proofing” courses to try and keep him from destroying it.

They specifically TRIED to keep Tiger from winning.

 

[GojiraVol17]

Lebron or Jordan? Tiger or Jack? Peyton or Tom? I mean, at least it gives us something to talk about but I think all of those are greats. That’s just my unbiased opinion Okay, maybe a little bias. Peyton can do no wrong in my eyes
