Recruiting Football Talk VII

If you could choose which legendary sports coaching fixture would retire next, who would it be, and why Geno Auriemma?

 

[knoxvol52]

I feel like the in state school should be the only permanent.

Have they announced our permanent opponent and I missed it?

Not even approved 9 game conference schedule yet ,it's on the table I believe, could be wrong though...

If it's approved ,starting 2025 or 2026..

Elvis married a 14 year old Priscilla too.

But my grandpa was 18 and off to the not well known Panamanian war when he married my 14 year old grandma too. They were together until death.

It’s obviously taboo today, but their relationships were happier and lasted longer than ours. Because of that, I’ll just say it was a different time and not cast judgment.

Elvis and Priscilla weren't cousins!!!

 

[Christian Lowe]

Elvis and Priscilla weren't cousins!!!

Fair enough. I was more focused on the age thing. Marrying your relatives is bad in all cases for obvious reasons. See: the Hapsburg jaw.

Bauce.

Where does that rank among SEC Schools? Can’t imagine many ADs can top it.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Time to get out Geno

Sounds like parity has hit UConn

 

[Weezer]

Wrong! Our WBB team isn't very good so who gives a piss about Geno right now. The answer is obviously Kirby Smart. Get rid of him, and suddenly the SEC opens up.

All good, I was 25 when I married my wife, now ex-wife..

She was 7 years younger than myself..

It won't be approved until ESPN agrees to pay more money. No one wants to add an extra conference game unless more compensation is involved.

Me handing out likes reading all these Bama tears and commentary posts -

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Truly insane how duped it is.

And yet, at the present, it's the only tool until the universities fold their facade.

UT made 200+ mill…

Were your Grandma and Grandpa cousins? I feel like you didn't make that point clear.

Are there permanent games anymore? I thought it was a free for all now, no more permanent games?

Correct. No dvisions. Top two teams advance to Atlanta.

That is a horrible way to seed a playoff (SEC 1 vs 2 first round) but... money.

---
there will permanent "rival" games. There were to be 3, but Saban lobbied all year to drop his games against Tennessee and LSU. Both had beaten him the year before. He was clearly worried that couldn't make the playoffs without an easier schedule going forward. To do that, permanent games would be changed to one. Kelly at LSU was mad about losing their Bama game and was calling to keep the planned 3-rival plan.

Finally Saban just ended the pretense of an independent Birmingham and announced on his own at a press conference that the league was going to do it the way he wanted. Sankey shortly thereafter said the SEC would not release the 3-rival schedule at this time but take more time to "study" the matter. That's where that stands.

So we will likely have Bama, KY, and Vandy. Or only Vandy.

The SEC is implementing a playoff?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Like hell. He's probably already found out the whole damn thing was his fault somehow.

Of course it was!

 

[SweetasSoda]

I thought there was going to be. But I haven’t kept up with it much. They don’t ask for my opinion.

 

[85SugarVol]

Lol I am going to self title today the red tide. When all the band wagon fans and players for Bama died off.


Saban fed them rat poison. He made them think it was them and not him.

 

[Orange.]

The SEC is implementing a playoff?

No, but the leagues are all keeping their playoffs as prelude to playoff seeding. And then they want to give their winners a first round bye. It would make more sense imo to simply use a regular 1v8, 2v7, etc, arrangement. Expanded playoffs diminish the value of a league playoff, like in basketball and baseball.

Also, I added to my response above. there will be rival game(s), it looks like.

That's why I moved out of Kentucky, I wanted to marry outside of the family.

 

[utvolmaniac]

My family originates in Tibet. Duh.

Given that Tibet is no longer a country…having been annexed by China…I chose the next closest country. Would not have been the same had I said the Chinese basketball team.

So Weezer's a commie red too?
