Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Weezer]

i would imagine both already have destinations pre determined.....

Brooks would supposedly go to Auburn. Not sure about Brown.

Random question for everybody...

If I put the over/under on the number of our best four QBs (Bailey, Hooker, Maurer and Salter) that will still be on the team at the beginning of next season at 2.5. Are you taking the over or the under?

Considering Hooker is a Grad Transfer and will 100% be gone after this season, and Maurer could himself graduate/grad transfer after this season as well if he wanted to I'd take the under.

when you say 'next' season...you saying 21, or 22? i read it as 21, so just checking my work.....lol.

You’re correct, I meant ‘21.

yeah, i don't know about brown either. but you don't voluntarily walk away from a sure thing, w/out having a sure thing, imo.

 

[jakez4ut]

You’re correct, I meant ‘21.

ok, i'm sticking with over then.

I enjoyed it when this thread was about football and the off topic conversations stayed in the off topic thread. I knew where to come for football discussion and visa versa. The recruiting forums used to be a little more disciplined and why a lot of us came here and stayed away from the FF. C’mon guys, we’re better than this.

What would you like to talk about that has actual real news to go along with it? It is the offseason and we just came out of an arduous DC coaching search. We are helping @frank pay the bills when things are slow. Are you trying to take food away from @frank 's kids. You monster.

He doesn’t understand the portal

Scooby was my favorite. It was for my kids, too. In 8th grade history class my daughter said she kept answering questions so the teacher asked her how she knew all that. She said she saw it on Scooby Doo. She would see an episode like the miner 49ers and then research it to find out more.

Kicking butt at Trivial Pursuit was one of my favorite things to do. Can’t tell you how many answers I got that came from cartoons, especially Bugs Bunny (my favorites if you can’t tell).

Looking back, I have to give mom and dad credit for explaining certain things in a way that didn't terrify me, but made me understand the importance of telling them because, if left unattended, the consequences could be deadly..

God bless mom and dad...

The Briles offense, once it got going, was essentially unstoppable in the Big 12, and performed well against OOC opponents in bowl games. Here are Baylor's PPG under Briles:

2008 - 28
2009 - 20.8
2010 - 31.1
2011 - 45.3
2012 - 44.5
2013 - 52.4
2014 - 48.2
2015 - 48.1

Not sure if the slow start and slight regression in year two was due to personnel limitations, or a learning curve for the system, but by year 3 it was showing some results and in year 4 it just exploded and never looked back. With more high schools running this kind of system that Briles essentially invented, hopefully the learning curve won't be a problem for our team. I can guarantee our talent at the skill positions and O-line will be better from the jump than what Briles had when he took over in 2008.

The thing about Briles is that most people think it is a passing offense, when in reality he wants to run the ball down your throat

Broke my leg once playing backyard football. Knew it was broken, but let everyone convince me I was wrong. Tried to stand up to join back in and immediately fell down. No one wanted to believe it was broken until the x-rays proved otherwise, lol.

Could have been worse. My best friend broke his arm after being tackled by a girl.

Nobody ever reminded him of that, did they?

 

[Glitch]

Definitely. The Smurfs, He-Man, Scooby Doo, Care Bears, The Get Along Gang, Shirt Tales, Road Runner, Transformers, Inspector Gadget, Duck Tales, G.I. Joe, TMNT.

The ‘80s in general was awesome. My favorite decade.

After these messages we'll be riiiiiiight back....

 

[Jackcrevol]

They taught us that knowing is half the battle.



The other half is made of red lasers and blue lasers.

That's what i'm talking' about. Cobra Commander was a worthy adversary.

Edit: still cannot ****ing multiquote.

 

[Orange Studs]

I’ve skipped over most of the wrestling talk but my two cents is that WWF in the ‘80s was awesome when I was a little kid.

Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, Jake the Snake, Ricky Steamboat, Roddy Piper, Junkyard Dog, Mean Gene, many others, the Saturday morning cartoon...all fantastic.

Bugs, Daffy, Roadrunner, Fog horn leg horn (the Big roster and the dog) and Yosemite Sam are some of the legends of cartoons.

Auditioning. His college highlights have been at Tennessee

Not much film of him in pass coverage

 

[alvinkamara]

Because it's what we want to talk about. We don't just talk recruiting or football here. Some other fun topics include BBQ, farting dogs and lifting people up in prayers who need them.

Do it on the farting or BBQ forums, not the FF......Is there not a kiddie forum or an inane subjects forum for that drivel? Maybe not...I have noticed on occasion that the mods rein some of the rasslin chatter in when it gets out of hand. Maybe you could petition them to set up a fart and rasslin forum for you fellas and put you in charge so that we who are interested in football won't have to navigate through all the gastric disturbance and body slams....Merely a thought

 

[Weezer]

He claimed he tripped and she jumped on his arm after he was already down, lol.

I miss when being a kid meant jumping on your bike and just riding to wherever with your friends.

We started a fire in a half buried barrel in the woods behind my house near a creek. We wanted to cook crawfish, which we did. Then I tripped and cooked my left hand. I soaked it in cold creek water for close to two hours before I worked up the courage to go home and show my mom. Then we tried to pass it off that I had hurt it falling out of a tree so she wouldn't know about the fire. Mom was not fooled. lol

He only gets paid if you post here instead of the off topic forum? My bad, I didn’t know that. I was just being nostalgic, same as everyone else.
Also, I see it as you all creating more work for the mods when they have to come through here to clean up your mess. Kind of like not returning your grocery cart if you ask me.

For some reason, this made me think of Schoolhouse Rock, and the other educational cartoon shorts they'd run between programs.
