Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

This would be amazing!! How could people NOT want this?

Losses won't matter as much if you go to 12 teams.

 

[Volbucky]

Keep telling yourself that, commie.





(Actually, none are American made much anymore. Parts brought in form china and assembled here.)

I said MOST American made. I read an article a few months ago before I ordered my current tundra and it was a huge percentage compared to Ford, GM dodge. Probably why they last so long compared to the big 3.

I'd guess their biggest concern is Bama and Georgia sign 40 kids then cut 15 every year. If they tried that it wouldn't play well in recruiting though so they might not do that even if they could. With transfers becoming more common that's probably less of an issue now too.

There's also the Johnny Majors method of signing a huge class and then having a great team when they're all seniors.

Given how much the rule hamstrings new coaches though, I'd say it's doing more harm to the competitive landscape than good.

But those 15 cut players are still 4 & 5 star talents now back in the market (transfer portal). As long as the 1 free transfer rule allows them to move it becomes less of a concern.

Bama signs 3 QBs, 2 transfer...someone may actually be getting a -better- QB than what Bama takes from HS, cause the transfer guy has 4 years still (assuming he Redshirts after not playing at Bama) and then he's already gotten a full year in arguably one of the best S&C programs in college.

So if that QB ends up at Memphis he's got 4 years to play, eligible immediately, and has a season of conditioning at Bama.

I don't want it because the vols are not in it.

I don't fish but glad you had a good time.

You should man. What a beautiful place. At least just for the beauty.

Batteries will see quite a rise in the future, that's for certain; but knowing which battery company will develop the best technology and take over the market is the crap shoot. Tesla goes 400 today, but I'm sure they're working on 800+. The company that has the 800+ today may not have done it in such a way that it lasts very long, or maybe it gets too hot. The devil is in the details, but batteries are definitely the way of the future.

Maybe or maybe not. The problem with the batteries is the replacement cost. It isn't affordable to replace a battery in a Tesla or many other hybrid cars. This leads to disposal issues with the batteries and the car itself. The gas powered vehicle with have a place in America simply because the simple man can work on them and keep them running.

The technology in the battery powered vehicles especially Tesla is crazy though

The Toyota Tundra is the most America made full sized truck, ya freakin communists

Pretty much every truck other than the Ram Classic 1500 is assembled in America. Beyond that, it gets interesting with all the different places that parts are manufactured. My Titan was assembled in Mississippi, the engine in Tennessee, and the transmission in Japan. I'm good with that. I think the Tundra does have more American made parts than some of the "Big 3."

siap

This is freaking awesome.

 

[gainesvol82]

dang man, glad youre ok.

how many old Nissan's do you see on road? I see a bot load of Datsuns. Everyone has a personal preference.

Altima everywhere. Solid car for the money

@greenheronadventures

Ive fished all over Mosquito, Sebastian, and West Coast of FL, HHI, IoP, Folly. Capt Rob put me on this Bull 30" on a fly. He hit that fly as soon as it hit the water. Great guy, great time.

Lifted him up for a pic, then jumped out. (Cant get the video to upload).

Nice. I've landed plenty of reds on my kayaks in the Apalachicola Bay down in Florida. We take two weeks every year to go down there to relax and fish. Nothing better, to me, than fishing inshore for reds. All artificial lures, no live bait. Love the challenge.

I've had great luck out of my fords. I've got an older 2004 f150 still going strong. Almost 200K. I use it as a work truck. We're ford people. I bought a Chevy cruze for my wife in 2012. It was the biggest POS I've every owned. Last Chevy I'll ever purchase. There's a lot of good quality cars and trucks out there.

Ever fished st Joe bay?

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

They selling at msrp? Afraid dealer mark up is going to be awful!!

Honestly have no idea. I'm gonna guess there will be dealer markup... But he's been pretty adamant on ordering one and doesn't want to wait. Luckily, his 2017 Stingray that he plans on trading in will probably make up for the markup with it's inflated value.

is that in panhandle?

 

[gainesvol82]

Glad you walked away from that..my son is a big Nissan guy. He just bought a loaded Titan and then put a few thousand more into some other upgrades....they already had a Rogue which they have had for four years as their family car.

Thanks McGill and @InVOLuntary. Liked the Rogue I had too. Nissan is perfect value for my budget. Eventually will go Toyota.

Since we're on this car thing, my daughter gave me a voucher to drive a supercar down at various tracks around the country as a Christmas gift last year. Covid, and other issues has delayed me doing it. I think next spring is when I'll schedule it. Which car should I choose?

No matter what some folks say, it's hard to buy a bad truck these days. Some are more reliable than others, but on the whole trucks are more reliable than they were 15+ years ago. Smaller cars and crossovers are where manufacturers seem to go cheap and you see most of the problems crop up. Trucks and midsize or larger SUVs are expensive, but you usually get better quality for that money.

This would be amazing!! How could people NOT want this?

There are a few who don’t want that. They would be UGA, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Ohio State. They’ve stockpiled talent because of playoff appearances. If more teams make it in then talent will spread out a bit more and parity could return to CFB.

It would help the rest of the teams and leagues though. Hopefully it comes to fruition.

 

[Revived2002]

This would be amazing!! How could people NOT want this?

Looks fun but with current lack of parity, the same 3 or 4 teams would steamroll everyone else.

Won't work like the basketball tournament until they figure out how to get more parity in the game...

 

[gainesvol82]

I bet you threw that underwear away.

Longest wreck ever and felt like a bomb went off. Lucky to walk away much less no injuries. B**ch that hit me had no insurance so that sucked.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Ever fished st Joe bay?

I did a little bit one time when we got pushed out of our usual vacation spot due to a tropical storm and it was before we had kayaks and I had all the little details figured out related to tides, feeding zones, lures matched to conditions, etc...so I didn't do well. I know the fishing can be great up there, I just haven't been back up there.

It is...east of Panama City and not too far from Tallahassee. Fishing pressure isn't too bad and you can find a lot of places in a kayak that rarely get fished. Plenty of flats, oyster bars, and even some small marshes if you know where to look.
