Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Hide copperheads?

Okay I am raking 10 acres!

I just didn't want 3667 posts of debate on it. It is not a huge deal at the end of the day.

I know! I just answered in a post then the next one I see is you saying you’re not going to argue about it.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Because it is a form of jealousy for many opposed. Not for all, sure, but you'll see it seep into many opinions. Even SCOTUS commented on this view. Only wanting to watch athletes as long as they aren't making the market rate. The ones that hate to watch rich athletes, especially much younger ones. Lots of jealousy funnels into that conversation sadly.

Otherwise there's not much difference, especially with free transfers now. That will be the tool for mercernaries and they'll keep existing, just as coaches have used it for decades. But hardly anyone complained about them, because they were "professionals" in an "amateur" billion dollar sport...merely by definition

I don’t think you appreciate what many love about college sports. The passion for your school above anything else. It’s already slipping away. I am already thinking about why should I waste time with recruiting or keeping up with who is on the the team when they may not even be on there when the first game comes around. I don’t care who is making what and don’t want to hear about it. Trying to stay excited about Tennessee while gradually distancing myself from what it is becoming…minor league. I don’t watch professional because there’s no loyalty or passion. It’s a “me” sport. Waiting to see how college football handles this.

And all of Pete's were worth 2 points, yet over 50% were attempted from today's 3 point distance. This helps show why it is more "efficient" in today's game to shoot the 3s. Will never know what his point total would be with the 3s, but it would be huge.

Maybe someone will try to figure it out.

I'm sorry...I can never remember to words to Rocky Top or whatever that song is called

Now Practice!

Lyrics

Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
I've had years of cramped-up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again
Rocky Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee

Can one of you post the disappointed Iowa wrestler’s mom gif?

The calm before the orange storm hits the court tomorrow night....

If fans were going to rebel, I figured they would have done it off the bat. Then when it became the norm over time, they'd come back.

Still don't get it regardless. Weird joy to only want to watch if they're financially below you

It doesn't have a damn thing to do with that...that is a stupid remark.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And yet Pete took 200 more shots in his college career. That's so wild

And yet that dude is nowhere near the player Pete Maravich was...the Pistol is an all time great, not some scrub from some nowhere school.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

There may be a few that feel that way but many more that are worried that money is going to ruin the sport they love…. They don’t want it to be like professional sports…. I agree to an extent with that process.

This...this...this...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Is he related to Kiffin?

Lol...

 

[InVOLuntary]

Well ok man.

Throwing gasoline on that fire.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This happens a lot. The more talent and depth a team has (and a weak schedule), the easier to overcome this. Also the more experienced leadership helps.

Yes, I was forever scarred by a Peyton Manning led team losing to Memphis.

That game was not on the players...it was 100% on Phil and his staff. It was pure garbage playcalls.

 

[Kristy*]

Yeah they just upped the price to 72.99 a month. Daddy kicking it to the curb till football season.

Since they stopped showing Braves games, we drop it after March Madness until football season every year.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

How did you come to the “financially below you” conclusion? That has nothing to do with it. It’s the belief that money ruins everything eventually. We have not got to eventually yet to see the outcome. And no one was going to protest and boycott. People were just saying they don’t want college sports to end up like pro sports.

This...this...this

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

WTF are these p*****s seeing?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

If we lose…. I’m going to be raising h&ll and being called the idiot margin by @Ulysees E. McGill

I'm sure you will

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I'm sure you will

I really really wanna win. But I think the season has been a success just based on making it out of the first weekend. I will endeavor not to get mad on the internet tomorrow.

 

[Wokepack]

Are they ranking ALL of the Georgia leans inside the top 10?? Some sizable movement going on....

Thus concept is too f'n hard to understand for the commie generation.

people should earn a wage, hell it's their bodies they work hard but $100's of millions of dollars? i get that what the market demands. but the bigger problem is ownership.

 

[screenthis]

I guess we can't have a starting lineup tomorrow of: ONE, Viscovi, Mashack, Key, and JJJ. Who would come in and rest the guards? But, that would seem our best bet...
