Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Orange.]

They have the same number!

 

[Devo182]

4 of the 5 players playing for Iowa are white...no racial but unusual.

Not that unusual for midwest teams. Similar to Wiscy...Minn...to a lesser degree Mich.

They have those tall Viking MFers, just like all the OL talent they pump out in football.

 

[Devo182]

Not seen this stat on here yet..from the statistics crew maybe they can dispute it @Devo182

Wouldn't defend his post-season record, just his overall body of work as the best thing UT fans have ever seen.

He's set us up for long-term brand recognition and success, whenever he chooses to retire.

Today's the 21st anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Lets all drink to the fond memories from that time

Did you watch your Dodgers beat the Padres at 6 am, this morning ?

Of course..

Tomorrow morning again. Yamamoto pitches ..

 

[Devo182]

It's hard to believe we have the 5th longest active NCAAT streak
You can't win it if you aren't in it.

2018-Current

2018 and 2019 were udder nonsense...first a screwjob by the refs and then a screwjob from the church

2021 and 2022 were disappointing

2023 we shot par for a 4 seed (only a 15% chance of making the Elite 8).


As a 2 seed this year, the historical odds are 62% chance of making the SS and a whopping 45% chance of an EE. Adjust as you like...

I drafted my fantasy team, today. Guess who my 1st pick (3rd overall) was ?

Ohtani...

 

[The Dog]

Ohtani...

Yes, sir. I know he probably won't pitch, this year, but who cares. Looks like he is going to steal more bases, too

 

[UTProf]

Prepare for 1000 brother jokes/comparisons/analogies/puns/etc. The announcers have their material for the game.

 

[Devo182]

Someone save me time:

Who are the cinderella picks this year? Sounds like whoever Clemson faces is one.

Who are the others?

 

[KptVFL]

I don't like how we've played in early games anyway

Yep...... and even though it's late....I can actually watch it and still be employed!

James Madison Dukes 31-3 was ranked in top 25 earlier in season.

Defeated Michigan State at MSU..

I know a few people who will be drinking. . . But I don't think it's due to fond memories

Yea Ohtani will DH mostly, play RF later in season.

Dodgers and Braves are in a league of their own in National League.

Cubs or Reds should take the Central.

I think 2022 is the one that broke me.

 

[Devo182]

Probably. Whoever does these polls are just really stuck on Florida, no matter how badly they lose.

I mean, college baseball isn't even big enough for AP or coaches polls or any other kind.

The only poll folks see is the "D1Baseball.com" rankings. Done by that Kendall Rodgers guy and like 5 other writers lol.

Wouldn't pay much mind. All that matters is the committee at postseason time.

The Reds were really fun to watch, last year. But, I'm a die hard Cubs fan, so I'm picking the Cubs. In the immortal words of Harry Carey, "I'm a Cubs fan and a Bud (in more ways than one) man"

Drake may do something, but they aren't really an extreme Cinderella. . .

 

[Devo182]

I think 2022 is the one that broke me.

It stunk, but folks were really underestimating Michigan. They came in hot and with the size to bother us. But they had eleventy hundred losses, so it seemed nonchalant.

All the more reason I'd rather just fast forward to the teams that will get our attention off the bat. We seem better in those games.

I was at good ol' Camp Udari, Kuwait before jumping the berm.

Pulling for Duquesne to win one or two games. Their HC is retiring after they lose in tournament, the guy coached LeBron James in High School..

I figured Colorado St or College of Charleston might cause some issues for someone too.

 

[Devo182]

The suits in the SEC and Big 10 will not stop ruining college athletics.

Must...crush...the little folks...


Izzo must be reading Sankey's new book,

"How to treat your Napoleonic Complex by crushing others from behind an office cubicle wall".

 

[Enki_Amenra]

If you had a Mustang, would it need to be a 5.0 with a fully functioning rag top?

I'm at "Ponies in the Smokies." Debating on leaving or waiting til the burnout competition at 8pm.
