Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Glitch]

Is that still at Fort Polk?

I don't think it is called Ft. Polk anymore. A lot of the bases names were changed.

You still worship the Cookout King don't ya, it's okay just admit that you do..

The Cookout King

 

[drvenner]

AKA Ft Johnson.


I’m heading down for the first time in a couple months. Can’t wait.

I went with my Reserve unit around 1997 , I think. Not my favorite two weeks but it was good training.

I really love baseball history. Reading about him was very enjoyable to me. I also read Shoeless Joe (the book that became Field of Dreams) and it just really hit me in the feels. I also love reading about Pete Reiser. Eight Men Out is also a great flick. Anyway, you don't have to agree with me, but it is who I am. We definitely disagree but I don't respect or like you any less for it. FFL

I get it.. I too love a lot of the old great players that I never got to see and have been forgotten...Hank Greenberg..Johnny Mize..Carl Hubbel...Lefty Gomez...Chuck Klein...etc etc etc, and then some from the later eras like Clemente, Mantle and Mays..etc etc etc..

 

[UTSuave’]

See, this is BS... why would they put two SEC teams in the same region already...

It’s Tennessee we always get F***

 

[SweetasSoda]

Your handle leads me to believe you're living in Alabama.

I can't imagine what you've gone through for the past 20 years.

Agree with everything you've typed

except

For the love of everything Pantone 151, please spell Hype's name correct

Okay… Heup

So many. I remember seeing Willie play in the early 1970s but he was a shell of his former self.

Heupal was hired on like Jan 27th and we had like 30 guys transfer/hit the portal... No one was talking about fixing anything then... They also enjoyed feasting on the portal, picking up elite talent that helped them win (Toot, Gibbs, etc) ... STRAIGHT F every bammer cry baby three ways... they don't have a leg to stand on and deserve whatever fallout they get ... Karma for Skankey and the SEC protecting them/looking the other way while for years they blatantly bought players with cars, homes and jobs for family members, etc... SUCK.IT.

Very hypocritical to say the least

I retired in 2006. I imagine a whole lot more has changed in that time.

 

[Rishvol]

You know I distinctly remember that Heupel sucks at recruiting and struck out on every single one of those visitors that one weekend

Burn it down in Jortsville

Florida Gators football under NCAA investigation

The Gators say “they have been and will continue to cooperate with the NCAA.”

[SweetasSoda]

Can this really be happening to AL and FL at the same time as we have Nico?

 

[WarMachine]

Just need Georgia to lose Kirby. A guy can dream.

 

[UTSuave’]

Bama’s losing their minds not being able to keep the janitor or the mascot.Florida is being investigated with sun belt Billy leading the way..Josh has won back to back bowl games while beating Bama in the previous year.Tennessee just endured its biggest snow since 93’ .i don’t know what you’re beliefs are but the good lord above supports the big orange

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Bama imploding and now FL under investigation? Things just keep getting better!

 

[UTSuave’]

Meanwhile as the other empires fall around us next year with Nico under center its uh reckoning

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

When they do it, even if there ends up being the same amount of players leaving, the remaining players at Bama are way better and DeBoer doesn't have an NCAA investigstion/future punishment hanging over his head.

What Heupel has done has been nothing short of miraculous.

It really is..it is almost unbelievable. A lot of high level programs have had bad records, fired their coach and then had good-great seasons quickly...but in every case it was usually a case of the team having a lot of talent and them quitting on the previous coach and buying into the new guy.

That is NOT what happened here...we were gutted, just nuked into oblivion. The impatient idiots that frequent this place either are too stupid to understand how bad it was, or are just too big of an impatient asshelo to care.

Heupel raking that roster and molding it into one of the best teams in all of CFB was an ALL-TIME great coaching job...and he doesn't get anywhere near the recognition or appreciation he deserves from either our fanbase or the national-regional-local media for that miracle.

They look at Hooker, Hyatt, Tillman and Wright and think they were the reason..but none of those guys had been much before Heupel got ahold of them...just unfulfilled potential.

We have a great football coach...I am thankful.

 

[Jack Burton]

So. . . has anyone recently had their recurring dream of being lost/missing class on the final day off the semester?

Took about 10 years after graduating for those dreams to stop. It was either “can’t find the class” or “didn’t finish assignments”.

Bama is imploding with roster moves and now this? 2024 is off to a beautiful start!
