Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Batman1948]

Heupel has been all about building unity in the team and trying to get them to do things away from football together...... From the news reports..... it sounds like that has been a resounding success.

Was that what the players were doing last week when they were arrested? Hanging out and doing fun stuff together

 

[Batman1948]

When are you scheduled?

I'm thinkin' he may just do it himself

three straight State titles, id say we hit it.

I am talking about in football. Basketball, absolutely. Not the same since George Pitts left, though. One of the best coaches in the history of the state.

With everything, moderation is the key.

That's a paradox. If moderation is the key to everything then you are no longer deploying moderation in moderation. It seems like instead absolute moderation is the key.

We need some news to in here it’s been slow.

If you keep the extreme in perspective then there is no need to overthink it.

Man I hope we don't get Georgetown in the first round.

Man I hope we don't get Georgetown in the first round.

I'm not worried about the opponent. I'm worried about the Vols. We can beat anyone if we play up to our capabilities.

Wade is about to get blitzed today

You too young to remember Glen Rices run? In my opinion that one is the best I have ever seen...that guy was unconscious.

Guess so. I distinctly remember him in the NBA, but college doesn't ring a bell. I'm sure it's on YT though, I'll have to look for it.

dick vitale says hmb.

Nah he's bad but I can suffer through him.

 

[Devo182]

I think a few one and dones are never a bad thing. But i agree the Cal Uk program of 5 one and dones every year is a terrible idea.

It also makes me think we should definitely push for 2 and dones in football immediately. What better equalizer could there be than Bama's best leaving before even being upperclassmen? Bet it would bring far more parity than changing class sizes, changing the playoffs, etc. CBB has tons of parity because recruiting can only take you so far. There is no blue chip ratio guaranteed success in basketball.

 

[Devo182]

I’ve got one reason to stay away from the marijuanas: Bill Walton. How he’s still gainfully employed by ESPN is beyond me.

Some people love listening to him. I'm in that group. His stories can be great and his overreactions to the smallest swings in a game are entertaining. Ya just can't take him too seriously or expect deep play by play analysis. You know what you're signing up for.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Man I remember some really pretty decent teams. Between sprawl and indifference by School system, football is a token sport.

Other areas take it more seriously.

 

[Devo182]

Anyone want to guess what SEC team outrecruited us in basketball last year (#5 nationally) not named Kentucky?

LSU...how the crap is that place still operating?!?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

CBB refs called a flop? Holy Cow

 

[Devo182]

Not gonna lie... I don’t think I’d put down the $100

 

[Devo182]

Alright @KPT_VFL I'll give you better odds. How about 25:1? You pay up $250 or I'll pay $10. Adjust figures accordingly if you want to go higher. 2.5k vs $100, 25k vs 1k, 250k vs 10k. Your call.

It’s why I don’t believe investigating yourself is the way to go..... there is no justification for how the NCAA is doing business.

Alcohol in moderation has huge cardiac benefits. (Especially red wine over others.) Many medical studies to prove this. Red wine can also slow some types of cancer...also proven medically.

Hasn't alcohol, in any amount, been linked to higher cancer rates? I believe larger amounts increases the risk, but even small amounts greatly increase the risk vs zero alcohol.

Not sure how red wine plays into this (or are those drinkers naturally just more health-conscious folks?), but that is what I've seen at least.

Feels like much of the "pro alochol/health benefits" stuff is backed by the right folks. But I'm open to the other side.

 

[volatil]

Seriously I hate LSU basketball but man these refs are screwing them.

Bama is mugging them.... crickets from the refs.

Theyve stayed in it more than I expected them to. I expected Bama to shoot them out of the gym.

 

[UTMVol76]

Same people complaining about no recruits would be the same people lighting this forum on fire if CJH was letting 3*s commit right now.

I need Bama to win for recreational purposes

The outcome of this tournament was predetermined.
