And next up, the defense:

No ESPN: Defense

DL:
Not too much to see here. Missouri DL takes a hit.

EDGE:
The biggest reason I wanted to do this analysis. ESPN really hamstrung Pearce and Josephs. They go from EDGE-16/17 to 13/14 in the new rankings. The best SEC EDGE commits outside of Alabama/Georgia/A&M in this cycle.

LB:
Nice bump for Elijah Herring. Still not the best looking LB class.
View attachment 422173

DB:
Also not too much to see here. Decent bump for Thomas.
View attachment 422170

ATH:
Very solid bump for Harrison.

I thought this was @ChattaTNVol for a second with this in-depth analysis. Great job!

Some of the Memphis media is holding Penny accountable for last Saturday and that it’s his fault for his team not being able to field enough guys to play. Namely Giannoto and Calkins, the two main Memphis columnists. Listened to Giannoto rip Penny a new one on 92.9 today. And halfway hinted that he can’t blame Barnes for his stance.

The best football movie is North Dallas Forty. The Waterboy is am honorable mention.

Little Giants? Classic

 

[BigSteve09]

This bowl game had promise when it started but man has it popped a couple of flat tires.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Just thought of an '80's movie that could never be made today, Soul Man.

How about an 80' video game that couldn't be made today. Mike Tyson's punch out. Every character is a cultural stereotype! Still one of my all time faves though.

I will put the 70s up against any era for movie supremacy.

1. Jaws
2. Smokey and the Bandit
3. The Bad News Bears
4. Deliverance
5. Taxi Driver
6. Patton
7. Alien
8. The Godfather
9. The Outlaw Josie Wales
10. Jeremiah Johnson

Apocalypse Now. One of the greatest movies of all time.

You also have Solaris and Stalker across the globe. Otoh Fellini was putting out worse stuff and the Italians and French were tailing off in general. Kurosawa was calm...Spielberg had just awoken with Jaws...perfect. I'd throw in Clockwork Orange...Annie Hall...Serpico...Chinatown...Network...Rocky...French Connection. Star Wars ofc. Interesting time. Not sure if it was exactly the 50s or 60s as far as quality, but quantity definitely ramped up especially domestically.

You know what the directors of the 70s didn't rely on?





Analytics.

 

[BubbaWms]

I have been banned from watching Hunt for Red October !
Dead Period jitters.....

 

[Devo182]

Anyone else watch mafia movies during the holidays as well?

About to put some Goodfellas on

Year round, but that sounds great. Been meaning to rewatch Once Upon a Time in America. Feels about time. I could rewatch the greats at any time.

Polanski most definitely had analticks.

 

[butchna]

Huh?

Feeding time.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Can’t wait to watch them both prove that they both do in fact stink.

 

[butchna]

“Okay then.” Is used throughout the movie. Another inside reference between my daughter and I. Late wife didn’t get it either.

I did a mockumentary about this video game...worth a watch. Called "Punched Out!! The Untold Story" it's on my YouTube.

Since we’re talking about 80s movies..

Oh, you found a picture of me back when I was a young buck. These days with the Wife and the kids I still try to get out to pop a few off…

 

[Vol464]

Re-posting, since tech problems. Duh…
Anyway, I wanted to take a stab at something I started last year: composite recruiting grades / rankings that don’t include ESPN. ESPN grades have proved to lag behind the other sources, even to the point of making the 247 composite less predictive of NFL draft picks than the pure 247 grade. I’ve seen the analysis somewhere but don’t feel like digging for it now, lol…

Here is a re-evaluation of the 2022 Tennessee recruiting class (No ESPN):
View attachment 422157

In the new composite rankings, Tennessee moves up to 12th nationally, and 5th in the SEC. Below are the teams sorted by average recruit rating. Tennessee gets the biggest bump in the conference, Kentucky holds mostly even, Missouri/LSU/Auburn all drop.

Sorry this is the 80’s movies forum

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Tried to listen to the Bleav in Tennessee podcast because one of the hosts is a VFL…. They were breaking down our signees. Neither were impressed with Dylan Sampson. Said his highlights is just him breaking it outside and going untouched over and over. So they can’t tell if he’s actually a good back. Was complimentary of Justin Williams and said he was good at forcing bad tackles which is a skill most backs don’t learn. Had to turn it off because the reed bacon guy won’t ever shut up and then they were saying they weren’t impressed with Tyre West.

Reed bacon was saying it mostly. Said it was dumb that his Twitter handle had uGA in it when he was picking between us and FSU. Guesss he didn’t know he was a long time uga commit.


Every episode they do is over an hour long and 40 of those minutes is just reed bacon rambling on endlessly. I’d rather listen to a 20 minute podcast of Kyler Kerbysons insights.

 

[Vol464]

So I did not see anyone mention Stripes or Night Shift. Two very funny classic movies.

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

Howard the Duck

It was cool to see his cameos in Guardian’s of the Galaxy and in Endgame.

I'll check it out!

 

[LoudOrange]

Someone in the basketball forum has changed Penny's name to Pennyocciho. Lol

 

[Chuckie]

I haven’t exhaustively reviewed all of the replies on 80s movies, but a few I didn’t see mentioned:

Red Dawn
Overboard
War Games

Watched all of those too many times to count when I was a kid.
