Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[UTJoe]

Jeez man...why the big guy hate? You would hate me..I am a big ol chunky country boy.

Junior?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Interesting…the point spread dropped from -20 earlier today to -18.5 now. Must be some money coming in on us.

I think the dead hookers only come into play if they're rich bit coin traders (or some other obscure field). Otherwise,, I'm talking about the family nerd rather than the solo nerd. Solo nerd might have bodies. Family guy nerd is more likely to bore you to death with 5000 ways the latest Marvel film broke continuity BUT even that bad habit is worth putting up with because he has a working Iron Man suit that shoots with real lasers.

Your examples have been VERY specific! it’s like you know this actual person you are referring to as our hypothetical Coach

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

I would go full Tony Soprano on him and his dead body would be buried and never found.

Fat is the new average. It's not that we eat too much (although we do) but that what we eat is so often filled with all kinds of stuff that is awful for us. We serve fast food burgers with enough calories in them to feed a refugee camp and wash that down with a mega-cola of high fructose corn syrup. You only had one burger but that burger was your RDA of everything for an entire week. That's why we're fat and why nations similar to us are also getting fat.

For most people, it's not gluttony in the sense that someone is just gorging themselves. It's that our food is seriously over-processed and filled with calories well beyond what we need.

I'd argue it's equally or moreso because of lack of exercise.

I’m not sure the genes needed to accommodate affluence are in our DNA. We store fat for, no pun, lean times. Our bodies still want us to consume as though food is a scarce resource even though it isn’t for most of us. If we eventually evolve to harness that abundant energy we are going to be a bunch of big brained Marshawn Lynch lookin Einstein He-men (or She-rahs)

I thought it opened at 17.5

 

[delfonic]

I use Marshawn as an example as he anecdotally only eats Skittles

And I’d argue that it’s mostly laziness of choosing to eat unhealthy food. Unhealthy food is easy. For the amount of time driving to a fast food joint, sitting in a line, that person could spend that time at home prepping a healthy meal for their needs.

Why I put it in quotes. Austin is the same way. Sure they’re blue and a bit wacky, but that’s most big college towns.

Hey now, don’t be treadin on our weird rights down here in Austin

 

[captainfalcon777]

never been to Austin. lot of people worked with in Yellowstone moved there

It’s a fun city. Plenty of urban activities but a ton of outdoor stuff to do as well. Barton springs and the green belts are good times

But it climbed to -20 pretty quickly, which is where it was this morning.

I can go to McDonald’s and for 5 bucks get a whole meal.
Have you ever bought all natural, organic foods at Fresh Market? It’s very expensive in both dollars and times to eat healthy home cooked meals, at least in contrast to the convenience and low cost of grabbing burgers on the way home.

 

[mrMet]

Don’t blame u

At 20.5 on fanduel. Def hopping on that

People buy it on the way home from work to avoid cooking. So there’s that.

 

[Catbone]

Does Freak need to open a Transfer Portal Forum?

It woukd be nice to have

 

[therickbol]

Excuse me typical vol fan but Do you think this roster top to bottom is stacked like Alabama’s or something? We can’t exactly be choosers anybody on the field helps the team at this point lol…he has the physical tools to contribute in some way…

I assume I can now accurately place you in the category of fans that think football is track and field. I might need to say this slowly.....because a person is big, strong and athletic does NOT automatically mean they can be a productive football player. His productivity in high school was not even impressive playing against high school kids. Bottom line is he is not a good football player right now.

(Can be written off as donation, doesn’t hurt the company at all, actually helps the company)

You sure about that? In the video of the company surprising the byu walk-ons, he literally says he’s making them “employee #_____”. It’s most likely a bunch of independent contractor deals, given that the players are providing advertising and marketing assets, not tax deductible donations.

 

[BigSteve09]

We'll be starting walk-ons by November, like 2016

Outside of team success, I just hope the guys stay healthy and get to play.

Wow. You are making him even goofier than I already think he is.

 

[Hardy]

We're getting our butts kicked.

(I voted)

All about choices. Quite simply, you either want to or ya don’t.

Re-watched the Tech game, I know the OL has been pretty underwhelming in run blocking but in a lot of the cases I've seen the hole is there but the RB's aren't seeing them quick enough.
