Recruiting Football Talk VII

[VolXr1]

Why do you think anyone worried about Arizona?

Cause it's "Arizona" ?.. Idk you tell me. I've thought they've been overrated all yr and was last yr and Princeton proved it out of the box

There is also, more importantly, an epidemic of idiot people who are TERRIBLE at raising dogs.

I actually believe it should be mandatory for people to at least watch the dog whisperer. So many peoples dogs are violent or just super f'n annoying because they get zero discipline.

Like you go to someone's house and the dogs are jumping all over you the whole damn time, like you can't even sit down without them all up in your face and the owners just kinda sit there and let it happen.

Went over to a friend's house once and their dog was furious with my presence because they had conditioned her to go into mama bear mode at the sight of a stranger. It bit me and their dumba** owner picked her up and starting LOVING on her. Um HELLO!? You are affirming it's violent behavior you f'n fool. Way to reward your mutt for biting an innocent stranger!

Gotta be the pack leader if you want dogs!

I had a pit bull mix that I raised from a puppy. Sweetest dog. If you were on the outside of our house, you were coming to kill us all in his mind. He would bark and jump at the door until I said “no barks” and then he would sit down and wait for you to come in.

When my wife and I were first dating, she tickled me and ran. I caught her and started to tickle her. She hollered help. My dog ran over, assessed the situation then leaned into me and gave the softest little growl. He was telling me that my behavior was unacceptable and I should stop. As soon as I let her up, he smothered me in licks. He was telling me that I was a good boy
I never worried about her safety when he was around.

He absolutely loved children too.

He loved to chase things. He and I would play chase. I would take off running and he would chase me down and tap me with his paw. Then he would turn and run from me until I tagged him.
He would chase cats, but if the cat stopped running, he would stop and just look at them like they didn’t understand the rules. Did the same thing with rabbits. Never hurt anything that he chased.

Was never a cat person until I met my wife who was a cat person. Now we’re both cat an dog people.

They looked fast last night. Remind me of Auburn. Good guard play with bigs that can run and shoot. Went cold last night. Multiple opportunities to put ball back in after missed shots, ball just didnt go in.

Anyway, PAC2 ball doesnt move the needle so...moved on to a show called 'The Gentleman', which is a Guy Ritchie miniseries.

USC not going away quietly. Line was suspicious at only AZ -7.5.

I expect them to lose tonight and UNC get the fourth 1 seed

Arizona & Iowa State losing makes me feel a little better. Can they try to shove UNC in front of us?

What do you mean "you tell me?" You're the one who seems to think a bunch of people are "worried" about Arizona. I'm just curious what makes you think anyone here is worried?

Amazing that dogs, and cats appreciate feeling loved and safe in their home. It's almost as if their confidence and how they respond to situations is a result of how they were raised. If only there were a corollary here to raising children ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its nuts that people will buy Pitts and Rots, and, there's work involved every day to ensure it's well being. Further, that said individual maybe didnt consider that before buying or adopting. They just thought about how cool or tough owning a watch dog is or would be. And of other's perceptions of themselves, individually.

Gainey is up and down. Think the team as a whole was just out of gas, and understandably so. Theyve played lights out. Hope they have it for NCAA.

A letdown in intensity and focus was nearly inevitable..it is just human nature. Kentucky is a very good 3pt shooting team...but that wasn't normal.

Just scroll thru the pages.. Pretty easy to find several ppl worried & or saying "I'd rather have the 2 in the south or east than the 1 or 2 out west against Arizona and their fans"

His role needs to be as our outlet guy…. when guys double DK or try to stop Aidoo…. Vescovi makes them pay with a three.

I've not understood why we have not used Vescovi in the way the Bulls used to always have one of those deadeye open set-up shooters that made everybody pay when they came off to double Jordan if Pippen.

He has not shot well this year, but I think that is because he isn't used in the flow of the game more.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Okay, what the heck happened. I go skiing and expect y’all to hold down the fort.

I get off the slopes and check the score. Who the heck let uk beat the Vols on senior night.

For shame, for shame.

I know that we won the regular season and are the #1 seed but really…

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

The shepherds were the same dogs they had always been...your perception of them and what they were capable of is what changed.

Dogs don't understand abstract things like "don't pick on little dogs" is all I am saying.

I agree with what you did though, dangerous dogs owners do need to be either put down or heavily controlled.

FYP

As of today, I think we have a better resume than North Carolina. I also think the committee might think they’re doing NC a favor keeping them from going west for the second weekend.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

That does work pretty good, but if your pet gets a direct blast nothing and I mean nothing will completely remove that smell. It takes a lot of time. We nearly washed the hair off our poor dog when he took a point blank blast from a skunk. It was so strong I was nearly tossing cookies just trying to wash him.

I have had two dogs with direct blasts and one bath with Dawn/baking soda/hydrogen peroxide mix completely removed all the skunk. I left it on the dog for about 5 minutes before washing it off. Gave the concoction time to neutralize the skink oil.
No scrubbing required.
Both were long haired dogs too.

Lol, so it's what I thought. Those discussions have nothing to do with Arizona, its about location. The people that want #2 in the South over #1 in the West has nothing to do with having to play Arizona (maybe there's a couple people who said that, but I didn't see it) it's about having S16 and E8 games closer (Dallas instead of LA).

For the record, I agree. Arizona is very beatable and I'd rather have #1 in the West and play Zona in the E8 (if they even make it).

 

[Weezer]

Too many preservatives makes them taste bad?
If we have to pick between hungry Yetis and AI extermination, I would choose the first option.

After all the Yetis natural habitat is way closer to China, Pakistan, India, Russia, even all of the middle Eastern countries. That’s a huge percentage of the world’s population. It could only help the Earth as a planet to decrease the population…

The problem with eating Chinese is you're just hungry again an hour later.

doesnt matter where we play in as much as we get a fair-er seeding relative to SOS, accomplishments within that, and overall BoW. otherwise wtf are we doing here?

How is it? It's in my queue.

 

[Jackcrevol]

And yet the consensus is that he’s going to commit to Texas

I just haven’t seen Garner mentioned by most of the DL recruits.

not sure were to consensus yet

This is a good point. Carolina fans might also want to stay #2 in the East or South. Unless they get such a blue blood favor that the committee sends Houston to the West...

When it comes down to it, Houston fans are going to take over Dallas and UConn is going to take over Boston. Zona will have a presence in LA and Purdue fans will have Detroit. Going to have to win a borderline road game in any of those settings if you aren't one of those teams.

Maybe one day we will get the 1 seed in a region where Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, or Charlotte hosts.

I agree. Go get the 1 seed and win games.

[Jackcrevol]

Overrated, not worth signing an extension.

Some people dont know **** all.

**** from Shinola.

******* from a hole in the ground.

 

[Devo182]
