Recruiting Football Talk VII

Waterworld




I'm just messing. It's from a game I've been playing. Red Dead Redemption 2.

Great graphics...I wish games had looked that good when I still played.

 

[drvenner]

Iowa State is Team B.

Great minds think alike, amirite?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Out of curiousity (not saying you're wrong) but why are folks worried about Creighton?

Their win over Marquette: Marquette was literally down 2 of their best players that game

Their win over UConn: here's a quick history lesson on UConn playing in true road games...also LOL @ Memphis

Because it seems they are a better version of Miss State.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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!

March is nothing more than a crap shoot for anybody that is not a dominant team with multiple great shooters/scorers that also plays defense and is good at the fundamentals...and even those teams lose a lot.

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.

I'll think about it.

**I feel like I've gotten a VN reputation of making a certain style of edits. I don't want to lose that POSSOM "" brand

I dont think you would lose it. It would just let you put more possum in there.

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.

However NET views things, it views Team B more favorably than Team A.

 

[InVOLuntary]

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'm impressed with your ability to Ignore what's right in front of your face. Willful ignorance is still ignorance.

Women's tournament schedule is almost opposite of men's. SEC and others finished last weekend and get an entire week 1/2 of rest (too much?) but smaller conferences are finishing this weekend.

You'd think both men's and women's would have uniform schedules...finish on a saturday, give everyone 5-6 days rest

 

[Devo182]

WOW Yale...sad for Brown. They were up 5 with a minute left and blew it at the stripe! They were only 13-17 lol

For all the hate on conference tournies, some of them are straight magical.

[Ulysees E. McGill]

At this point I've completely given up on such concepts.

The years we jump for joy, we run into some weird team like Michigan...then we shake our heads at Duke and beat them only to lose to random azz FAU that nobody cared about it.

Like someone said yesterday, we seem to show up vs the big teams anyway.

At this point I'm completely draw-agnostic.

And FAU turned out to be a fantastic team on a buzzsaw run.

My music was much better.

Big east comes close to that schedule, the sec should follow suit. UConn is chillin right now

 

[gordonr24]

I feel sorry for Brown. Lost to Yale on a buzzer beater. Brown hasn’t been to the tournament since 1986 and has only made the tournament twice in its history.

Great graphics...I wish games had looked that good when I still played.

It's very immersive and not hard to play. I'm 49 and not interested in playing online anymore. I play Red Dead Redemption 2 offline and spend most of my time exploring, hunting, and fishing. When I do the missions, I like how the game is very forgiving (aim assist/dead eye) and I've not had missions where I died several times or got frustrated enough to quit. It's a good game for "older" gamers.

(Rockstar remastered the original Red Dead for PS4 and I'll probably start it next or Ghosts of Tsushima.)

**The last game I played a lot on PS4 was Call of Duty WWII. I loved playing Domination online but I would get destroyed in Team Death Match. I ultimately quit playing around 2018. I missed it, so I got Limbo and Unravel for PS4 last winter and really enjoyed playing again.

Just watched Brown blow a 6 point lead with 27 seconds left

Yale killed them with the buzzer beater

Would've been their first dance since 86

Bruuuuuutal

Bad. Open tib fib or ankle imo.

Edit: just watched replay. Def open ankle fx.

This time you really, seriously, actually do hate to see it.

 

[Devo182]

I'm big in to trends. They're trending down. There's something going on with the psych of this team. I hope I'm wrong but those trends are hard to turn around. If they were competitive, close games, I would feel better. I realize they closed against KY but they were really outclassed. MSSU was about as bad a beating as I've seen in a while. Maybe they prove me wrong but if I were betting, I'd expect an early exit.

Then you should know 1 or 2 games ain't a trend.

We've won 7 of our last 9 including the most brutal stretch seen all season. Wonderful trend

 

[headhunter15]

If he keeps his head right and stays healthy, he’s going to make a ton of money.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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.

We were trending down after A&M also...how did that work out? Why the heck are you going so freaking gloomy?

This is a good team with good players that has just as good a chance as anybody this year.

You say you doubt we win it, then I agree...I do too, it ain't that hard to predict that outcome, it is a freaking crapshoot...but it sure as hell is not because I think this team sucks and doesn't have a chance.
