Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Pepe]

If something is already profitable, does it really need that much help to inject new capital when there is already a huge primary market for equity/debt funding? Or maybe you mean through like angel/VC funding?

Helpful as well, but charities too can drive enterprise, in the sorts these guys back. Not just talking typical Meals on Wheels type charity, which is great too, but they are trying to fix huge problems through entrepreneurship, such as grants for inventors to find more efficient, useful toilet/sewage systems in Africa, where it is a major problem with clean water.

All to say, "charities" can spur a ton of innovation, growth, and jobs as well. And do a ton of great for huge swaths of people.

With the amount of money we are talking about, I'm talking about investing in huge enterprises that are normally only only accessable to governments. Elon Musk is an example of this kind of investing.

GEORGIA PUT ON A PATCH THAT REMINDS US THAT THEIR LAST NC WAS 40 YEARS AGO LMAAAAAAAOOOLOLLLLLLOKLLLL

But yet other fan bases say we live in the past

Not disagreeing, I think either is better than handing it all off to your spoiled heirs (though that is totally your right).

Just curious what you are talking about with Musk. I don't follow him. What is it he invests in that others can't, other than he's obviously an "accredited investor" and can get into more unregistered offerings?

He has basically made it feasible to electrify transportation and made space a paying business - both things that would have taken 50 years at the rate things usually go. His was not only investing but giving active leadership.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

So not defending him or attacking you. @ACvol3 has been doing that for years with anyone who gives the appearance of an insider. It’s part of his posting style, like catbone and his negativity. To be fair, probably between 70-90% of insiders are fake. He happens to think they all are.

I get what you’re saying, but the whole point is if you believe AV is real, fine, read his posts, if not, scroll past them. It’s pretty simple to me.

 

[Kingston Vol]

South Carolina is basically a perfect opening game because they’re good enough to test you and bad enough to expect you should win.

I’m worried about the passing game from some things I’ve heard, but hopefully we won’t depend on it too much.

This defense should be top half of the SEC.

 

[Chuckie]

He could lose 99.999% of his wealth/equity and still be just above a millionaire (literally)

I heard it expressed like this: All of us in here are much closer to being multi-millionaires than is Zuckerberg (or Gates, Bezos, Musk, et. al.)

Good point. Hate those FCS openers that tell you nothing. We should have a good feel going into UGA, after them and Mizzou.

Love our secondary, but pass rush...idk. Ubben said our secondary has been strong through camp and BT and AT could both legit be All-SEC level.

My biggest concern is losing 3 vetern, vocal leaders, 1 at each level. Bituli and Warrior were absolute bosses at getting us lined up last year. Sounds like Toots has taken on that role, now just need to see it in action. Need a vocal leader at safety as well. Camp talk about the DL has been bad bad, just hoping our OL is just that good

Agree...I predict a lot of pieces involved from the get go...should have a good feel of expectations by end of UGA game.

Hopefully the D line isn’t an “issue”.

 

[Pepe]

Depends on the charity.

Gates project of attacking Malaria is a very good one, except I suspect he is just handing money to
the health research establishment who I think is the world champion at wasting charitable resources.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Brice slamming on Sabanochio. Awesome

 

[Devo182]

Let's say Mizzou claims they are too shorthanded and can't play. Also, the game can't be rescheduled successfully down the road. Should this go down as a loss for Mizzou?

 

[Catbone]

Idk we need a league standard rule

I would think a standard default - even more problematic, it would go down as a Bama win

 

[VolzMan53]

These actually look pretty good. I’ll admit.

Nothing, I repeat nothing looks good when it comes Ole Miss.....please do a 100 laps around Neyland !

 

[Vfl2407]

Yes.
such as rule 1a of SEC officials handbook: Bama does not hold and can’t be called for holding.

 

[Weezer]

Miss Mullen

Is that the real reason Chris Steele transferred out?

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

This isn't Florida

Or LSU

 

[Catbone]

We could report the entire team was covid positive after playing FL, GA, and Bama

 

[Weezer]

Just saw where Jackson Lowe entered the transfer portal. The tight end position is definitely thin right now.

Makin room for that 2021 TE class

Worst comes to worst, throw a monster OL out there as an additional blocker and steamroll folks. Right side - Cade RG, Darnell RT, Spraggins TE. Trey pulling from the LG position...I wanna see someone block that!!

The reports I'd seen were that he was becoming a non-contributor

I'm going to miss Skynard playing in my head every time his name came up.

Musk has basically been funded by the government though.

How so?

From the sounds of it, he was pretty much a bust to begin with. Him leaving probably a good thing numbers wise.
