Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Volstar65]

Actually I did not tell anyone to talk about anything else, I simply said I will be glad when all the golf talk is over. Thats not telling anyone to talk about something else. Nor did I ask Freak to step in and make people talk about something else. I simply expressed an opinion without attacking anyone. You golf nuts are the one's who got all defensive.

Lol. Most are just passing time and ribbing each other. Start a conversation about something and it will be a topic for a few hours or days. I scroll through things I don’t know anything about or have no interest in. Way of life brother. This is all small stuff.

I think they're blowing it way out of proportion. If we fear all idiots, we should stay in our homes and never leave because we are surrounded by them. Because he puts his idiocy on social media doesn't make him any more dangerous than the idiot that lives next door, people are just more aware of him. If people are concerned with him, that's their prerogative. I just chose not to be concerned with him. He's one of many.

But....he actually has access to the recruits and followers encouraging him. Every idiot doesn’t have that. So what if he suddenly loses what is feeding the delusion? Based on his past actions and statements of aggression, he could become violent when attacked or when he loses access to what he deems he deserves.

I agree, I just wanted to point out I never said people should stop talking golf, just that I looked forward to the convo being over. Then I was told I should get off the board and such for simply stating an opinion and not making an attack on anyone.

I understand. Some of the weeding through gets old and no wonder smokingbob can’t catch up, but people try anyway because they enjoy the company here and the different personalities that come with no faces. We all could be doing something productive but we choose this. we all want to boom and it just isn’t time yet.

Everyone on Twitter has access to recruits. They can block him at any time. The university can advise recruits to block him. You're making assumptions about potential behavior. That's dangerous. We live in what's supposed to be a free country. The minute you start penalizing potential behavior is the minute you lose freedom. He's done nothing illegal. With freedom comes risk.

 

[TheRain]

This is a message to our SEC brothers.



Also Georgia.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I say we trust Invol's opinion on this. The man should know what his son is capable of doing. If he say's his boy is harmless, he's probably harmless.

But you might want to have a good father-son conversation about how his Twitter antics embarrass the family.

Thanks Andy, uh i mean son. I was hoping the meds would help with that multiple personality disorder but obviously we need to tweak them.

I'm too old and uncool to be Andy. Now get up, go down to the basement, and tell him to behave himself so your friends on VN will stop talking about him.

Ummm... I am not penalizing anyone. But, yes, we are making assumptions about potential behavior by using logical deductions. This used to be called wise. No one is saying lock him up because he might commit a crime. We’re saying please quit feeding his delusion.
But he has committed crimes, been arrested, been told not to come back on campus..... At what point do you start thinking maybe it’s not a good idea to encourage him?

 

[SSVol]

That escalated quickly. Get him away from our school.

Um…what is a Chevy Infiniti?

Pretty sure aiming a loaded firearm at a presumably unarmed person and discharging said firearm into the air, is a might bigger problem than his tweets. That tells me everything I need to know about his judgment and emotional stability. I have have not had that happen with my idiot neighbors, and if you have, maybe you should move.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Wait. He's straight?

Depends on what you mean by "straight."

I’m still looking at our performance last year vs unranked and ranked teams. As previously noted all 130 FBS teams played unranked opponents but only 117 FBS teams played an opponent that was ranked in the AP top 25 at the end of the year.

The big 3 on our schedule every year are Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. This is how we’ve fared over the past 4 seasons.



Earlier I posted a table showing the number of defensive plays/game that have been typical of Heupel’s teams. This table breaks out last year’s number of plays on average for both our offense and defense against unranked and ranked opponents. Our offense had more plays on average than our defense against the 8 unranked opponents and the reverse happened against our 5 ranked opponents.



Since a lot of the focus this spring has been on our 3rd down defense and short yardage situations for our offense, I’ve broke out 3rd down conversion percentages for both units based on unranked and ranked opponents. We were 15th best in the nation on 3rd down defense against the 8 unranked teams but fell to #106 in conversion % allowed against the 5 ranked teams.

The staff has said we need a solid 4-man pass rush which I think we'll have this year. I mis-wrote in an earlier post when I said a writer reported that out of 36 converted 3rd downs on opponent's scoring drives 33 of those were converted via a pass. The point was only 3 converted 3rd downs were by a running back but 24 of the conversions were via the pass, 7 were because we lost containment on the QB (scrambled) and 2 were because of penalties. We're working on this so I think we'll be better, and much of this improvement has to come against our better opponents. jmo.



We are said to be working toward having an aggressive defense and in fact set a school record last year for TFLs. This table shows how we did against our 2 groups of opponents. It also shows that our offensive line need to significantly improve - which Heupel has said is a big emphasis this spring.



I redid my offensive and defensive tables to make sure all the units were apples to apples and those tables suggest that we mostly ran the ball against unranked teams and relied more on the pass against ranked teams. On defense both unranked and ranked teams alike hit us with a lot of passes. I think it’s probably worth keeping in mind that we may have faced an unusually high number of pass-happy offenses last year. jmo.



One note - Combined, Hooker had the 3rd highest passer rating in the nation owing to some others who had significant struggles against their ranked competition. Hendon was mostly more consistent regardless of the level of competition.

Finally, tempo is a key element to our offense so I wanted to see how we measured up to our opponents and to the rest of the conference. I did look at tempo vs unranked and ranked and there wasn’t a lot of difference. We were about 10 milliseconds faster against ranked opponents. Also, I’ve included Notre Dame and Louisiana because Kelly and Napier are on our schedule this year and I assume they’ll mostly continue to do what they’ve done in the past. jmo.

No one is faster on offense that we are.

Evidence of an unreliable report.

Most likely a transcription error on the reporter's end. I have a hard time believing that even small time po-po gets that wrong.

If UT banned him then they must had a good reason to. Was he not on twitter about 3 weeks ago talking about his 15 year old GF breaking up with him? This guy got some issues and you watch and see if he does not start stalking recruits ,especially Nico. You are right he is a idiot but a idiot with issues.

Awesome

You saw him do this or are those allegations?

Where did I encourage him? Where did I encourage others to encourage him? Go ahead and find that post and quote me and I'll own it.
I'm not even on Twitter, never have been. Social media is a scurge. My only point is that I don't view him as dangerous. You and others are welcome to fear him, I don't. It's a free country, people are allowed to do as they wish until they break a law. He's evidently not been convicted of any crimes. Until then it's allegations. UT is allowed to ban him. Twitter is allowed to ban him. I acknowledge he's a POS but I'm not scared of him.

The male companion inside the residence then reportedly confronted Bowser and told him to leave, at which time Bowser allegedly brandished the black handgun, pointed it at the male, and stated, “I am not afraid to pop a cap in your a --.”

And that's @volbeast33 man

I don’t have a man….. mainly bc @Weezer hasnt sent me any nudez even though he has sent them to everyone else….. I don’t find him scary and am entertained how he seems to pop up everywhere.

Awesome

It has been a good day.
