Recruiting Football Talk VII

[therickbol]

The Vols baseball game ended and we didn't have more runs than them. If I remember right, that means we didn’t win.

It's 2024. You need to keep up with how it works these days. Scoreboard doesn't really mean anything. They sent both teams home with a trophy last night.

Lol. 2 games represents 4% of the season. It's trending down. Paint whatever picture you like but the trend is down. Someone will be right. I like my chances. I do hope I'm wrong though.

I am impressed by your commitment level. To be wrong as much as you are and to still say "I like my chances" is hard-core commitment.

I can confidently predict before today's game that your Tennessee Volunteers will be undefeated against the champions of the SEC, ACC, and Big10 tournaments.

I think it somewhat depends on how we do in the first round game. If we struggle, then I think it will be difficult at that point to get our Mojo back. If we win big, it helps us roll into the S16. From there, we'll be confident enough to beat anybody but it's still about matchups at that point.

Bad. Open tib fib or ankle imo.

Edit: just watched replay. Def open ankle fx.

Temple's run in the American, if they win today, would be even more improbable than NC State's

They were a complete dumpster fire a week ago. Then boom everything just decided to click.

This time of year is so insane!

I like the run from the college that fired their coach before the conference tournament. He coached the tournament, won the tournament and made it to the dance. Hope he makes the Sweet16 and gets a much better job because of it, .

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Hey, I gave you fair warning

Watch it through! Lots of good laughs and interesting commentary. But yeah it's weird as shiz.

Is it as weird as this one?

There's a reason I made this a gif a few weeks ago .... View attachment 627581
(Not my best gif work, but the point holds true. DK in black nikes > DK in white ones)

What editor do you use? I have Vegas Pro 20 that was on my pawn shop laptop when I got it (probably bootlegged, ).

This is a bit sentimental, so please VN friends give me the space to share

It is the week of The Players PGA golf tournament

In 2021 my younger brother's 21 year old son Ryan died in a car accident. Wear your damn seatbelts, morans

My brother spread some of his ashes in the bunker of 17 at Sawgrass

I have played the course since and cried like a little bitch when I played 17

Who am I kidding? I cry every time they show 17 in the TV coverage. No parent should ever burry a child. That day broke him

Who cries watching televised golf???

Me

There is nothing worse on this Earth than losing a child. It is not just sentimental, Brother, it is heart-rending grief. My BIL lost his daughter when she was 9. She battled a horrid disease very bravely almost her whole life. I hope that you and your family can find some peace.

Just got around to watching the Lube U loss highlights. yhtsi

Nothing like that at all.

I just use the preloaded Gallery app on my Samsung phone.
*That's why my edits look so rough. I'm using the basic phone app for pictures. It really limits my creativity.

Who should get the 1-seed?

Team A Best 10 Wins and all Losses (NET):
W- 6, 10, 10, 35, 40, 40, 46, 54, 60, 63
L- 2, 19, 35, 41, 63, 84, 127

Team B:
W- 1, 1, 12, 14, 20, 28, 30, 37, 42, 42
L- 1, 12, 14, 45, 46, 60, 71

Not sure, but to make it relevant to how NET views it - I believe (from what I understand of NET and quads) you'd have to adjust for neutral and away games.

Iirc road games are basically doubled (net opponent #30 at home is similar to #60 away or something like that).

I don't mind NET, though I do hope they have some adjustment for last 10 games or so. There's something to be said for teams that are winning more in their last ~10 games or losing more. Not that it should be everything or completely devalue what you did in December, but a small adjustment is warranted imo. Us being 8-2 and notching 3 big wins is worth something. We could've folded down the stretch and lost the SEC and all we did was win it walking away.

I think the narrative has switched to Iowa State. They are the favorite Anyone But Tennessee flavor of the moment.

You need to get CapCut mobile AND CapCut Desktop. They're both free and you can do some good edits with it, approaching professional level stuff.

Iowa State is Team B.
