Recruiting Football Talk VII

[butchna]

Eh, Ravens pump out good linebackers on a regular basis..

They should be okay.

Didn’t realize they had a cloning facility. Smith was a Bear that they paid a lot for. The cheaper alternative to Queen might be more than one step down.

Derrick Henry 2/16 million could make up to $20 million..Ravens

What does the portal have to do with anything? That's just a different form of recruiting, subject to NIL and the whole nine yards of PFP. I wasn't aware there was an asterisk on success for using portal players. We had better hope that isn't the case lol.

As far the QB position, Bama has had more dogwater QBs than good ones since Saban has been there. This entire last season he seemed to be on a crusade to prove he can still win in modern CFB with a bad QB. And he did to a certain degree.

The idea of a coach who was at the pennacle of the sport before NIL, stayed there after NIL, and retired because of how broken it is... I find quite credible actually. Not that I need Nick Saban to explain what should be plainly obvious to everyone with eyes and a brain. But still.

I still can’t get a straight answer as to why players wanting their market value makes it a broken system?

The only reason Saban is doing this is to help out the NCAA in giving them antitrust provision, and that is the last thing we the people need to give that corrupt organization…it is that simple.

Y'all could have prayed for a little less pain too. (Sarcasm)

Worst pain I've ever had in my life right now. 3 vials of percocet and some fentanyl and I'm at a 6 on the pain scale now. Feels worse than the initial break. Feels like they ripped my teeth out, broke my nose, horrible headache and my neck stiff as a board.

Apparently my nose was in worse shape than anticipated. I had dozens of fractures and bone shards floating around.

Saban and Byrne being part of that roundtable today with Sen. Cruz wasn’t about what’s best for all of college football or sports, it is about what is best for Alabama!!

Any of you rednecks at Disney this week? Seeing quite a bit of orange here.

Son and kids are there. I know he is clad in Big Orange today. They are at MK today.

Saban quoting his wife is revealing.

Why are we doing this? All they care about is how much you can pay them. They used to care about how much you could develop them.

Ahem... NCAA needs to start sniffing around.

Honestly, for that level of beef, I really don't like it to have been frozen. Prime and above I prefer fresh.

And wagyu is soooo rich, it's a chore to eat a whole steak. Find a local place to get it fresh even though it costs more, get a little bit less to break even.

And research how to cook it if you're not a pro. All that fat needs to be rendered, can't just medium rare quick like a normal steak.

Haha yeah I wouldn't eat it all at once. Probably a few thin strips each meal over time.

Not a pro, but I've upped my game and research over the years. Up to sous vide + cast iron + mayonnaise instead of butter (game changer) and dry brining over night. I follow Guga Foods and try some of his experiments from time to time...also Max the Meat Guy and Chef Cuso...try to read a little reddit for new science on steak. Next step for me is to try some A5 and kobe for the completely different experiences.

Curious how does one get "fresh" wagyu from Japan? I figured it would all have to be frozen(?) Only have one exceptional butcher here and their best is 45 day dry aged prime...

 

[Devo182]

Did a splurge one night myself, can't remember the occasion. But I ordered one at Jeff Ruby's in Nashville and it was beyond good! It was cut thick, unbelievably tender and juicy . Regardless of what steak I order, I want a thick cut and I want it medium rare.

Was it seriously A5 japanese? Folks say you'd probably be nauseous if you ate an entire steak of it.

I've had American wagyu at a restaurant before and it was much different, easy to eat a steak of it.

Mayo is just soybean oil and eggs. I'll never understand the recent surge in Mayo superiority lol. It's basically margarine and egg.

For that level of beef, they can send the cow over alive haha. I'd wager someone has it, but a lot of it would be frozen for that reason. Freezing meat just degrades it in my opinion, so I wouldn't pay the top money for any frozen meat.

Saban: “NIL is bad for the sport. It ruined it”

Translation: “NIL has taken away my stranglehold on the sport and evens the playing field.. it ruined me.”

Saban has been paying kids and there family since he got to Alabama **** that sob

Place I went sold it by the ounce. Couple of us shared a 6 ounce and it was soooo rich. I don't know that anyone would enjoy a whole steak larger than 5 ounces.

It’s the HYPOCRISY of utilizing the very damn thing he’s cursing the existence. Poor multi-millionaire who just looking out for innocent student-athletes…that he NEVER EXPLOITED. It’s going to be a financial adjustment springing for his own sanitary wipes when that task has always been performed by the countless apologist azz-smoochers ridding that pristine area of any and all stray dingleberries. The man developed a winning process at an elite level and is bitter that his con game got cancelled. Sure, he could still recruit top 1-3 every season. But not EVERY athlete he coveted bought his BS and the entitled lil dictator does what they do when they don’t matter anymore…whine to the guvment and campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Stop fracturing and sharding your nose, friend.

You need it to smell your shards.

Yeah it's the perfect ingredient for a nice sear...basically just oily fat. Was skeptical at first, but big believer now over butter. It's taken the outer flavor to a new level.

Fair point about frozen, just didn't know there was fresh..maybe because a5 on camera nearly looks frozen every time I see it. It looks like ice cold marbled fat, prolly isn't though.
