Recruiting Football Talk VII

I seriously doubt there's a rule that says pitchers have to make eye contact with batters haha

I think there is. . .

What a clown. Last time I checked they play on the same court with the same size ball. And your player, the little one, threw the first punch.

Most on here probably don’t get this reference. Haven’t watched Euro Trip in a long time

Mulkey is such a goober. She’s a prime example of players taking after their coach.

Going into rafters after season is finished. Announced today during Senior Day ceremonies vs Wisconsin..

Correction seems they hung in rafters today.. after the game.

Pushing for the POY.

Any of you planning on watching the " Fallout" show? Trailer looks pretty good.

Yes...very much looking forward to it!
Just hope it's not like Nolan and Joy's, Westworld...a show that was so great and beautiful and brilliant; but, lost it's way and its audience so much, they weren't able to finish it.

According to the rules, a quick pitch is illegal. The umpire must determine that the batter has his feet set, eyes toward the pitcher, and bat ready to hit in order for any pitch to be legal. It’s gotten sped up with the pitch clock, but most batters know to not step totally out of the box. So, yea, the batter does kind of have to show eye contact before a pitcher can pitch it.

Worst trade in NFL history, imo, what the Broncos gave up for Wilson...also, what they gave up to get Sean Payton, to try and fix the sh!tshow; and, still forking out money for him to play for someone else. Brutal!!!

Purdue retired Edey Jersey

Can’t really blame them

Amazing how bad Denver has been since Peyton. Since 2015 they haven’t sniffed double digit wins.

Yet look at Tampa Bay without Brady. They won the NFC South. Beat the Eagles in the playoffs and almost beat Detroit to go to the NFC championship.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

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.

What consensus?

 

[knoxvol52]

Russell Wilson going to play Quarterback in Pittsburgh, while Denver pays him $38 million and Steelers pay a little over a million. Lol

Using a word like fibbing doesn’t change the fact that he lied to the organization that could have caused the university major problems. And the fact that the organization is a scumbag for not treating every school equally doesn’t change the fact that he did what he did.

In other words, two wrongs don’t make a right….

Lunardi has Indiana State has last team in field of 68, as of last night.
Hard to hold onto that spot with so many bigger conference tournaments remaining.
Mountain West already might get 6 or possibly 7 teams in if UNLV wins conference tournament, which is being held in Vegas.


Tonight at 7p.m. on ESPN Samford vs ETSU
On ESPN2 James Madison vs Arkansas State. Could be a Butch Jones sighting.

 

[JCVol00]

Fell asleep at halftime of the ETSU game last night, all I have to say is GO BUCS

March 11, 2024: When you feel down and out, exercise your will and decide that you are not a victim. You are victorious. You are a child of the King of kings. You are above and not beneath. You are precious in His sight. Pick yourself up and be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Philippians 4:12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Supposed to according to hard rules or tradition? If that's a rule in college baseball, that eye contact must be made before a pitch, then that's the rule and ya gotta respect it.

In football the QB is supposed to wait until the defense runs out onto the field and looks up and gets set as well...according to tradition. Eff that says Hype and UT football.

Unless it's an actual rule, the onus is on the other team to get their house in order. You step in the box...better be ready to hit. Step onto the field...better be ready for the ball to be snapped ASAP.

If it's illegal and can be enforced, then ALL GOOD - refs need to then enforce it. Seems like an officiating issue at that point. Folks will push it if not enforced.

The ultimate defense is the very simple "hand up". At least when I was playing, just putting your hand out would make the ump allow you time to get extra set before a pitch.

I believe this is a hard rule that was put in place when the pitch timer was instituted.

People need to understand that there is no seeding metrics or parameters. Final seedings are all about matchups, team gravitas, storylines, and ultimately television ratings. The whole Bracketology bull is a is a media construct and get eyeballs, clicks and provides material to fill tv segments, columns,and podcasts.
At the moment Tennessee is not a big national draw, a casual fan in New Jersey just tuning in at tournament time is not going to be moved to watch a game because Tennessee is playing. I am sure the powers that be would prefer to not have the Vols a 1 seed and they don't want them as high seed in a big market region. The only way the get into the East or South regions is as a lower seed, 6-12. Auburn is in a similar boat.
If the Vols do not win the SECT they will be a two seed and still out west.

Not if you overseed in the fall and use weed/feed/turf builder 4 times a year. This is the third time I have mowed already.

I like Roundup.
