Recruiting Football Talk VII

Offshoot of extreme wealth gap. The rich can keep paying more and more for tickets. Just look how expensive converts have gotten. It's wild.

that's silly

I just want this story about his team stealing a Pitchcom, lying about it to us, lying about it to the umpire, his coach nearly fighting Amick, to be a big part of the story about his new job now. As I often note, if we just had one real reporter in Knoxville.

The NCAA should SausageBagel a show cause. He tried to rig the CWS. Go big with it.

I agree with you in principle on many topics surrounding unfair officiating, shady conference tactics and general corruption but your conspiracy-meter is dialed up a notch or two high for me.

You are dead right on some of the conference preferential treatment of specific coaches/progrqms angle but I think that a number of the things that you are at 100% conspiracy on actually fall a little bit more in the realm of "competitors at an elite level will do anything to gain an advantage" and don't have anything more than the actions one person or party behind them. Your reaction to this incident is a little extreme....

Was it suspicious seeming? Yes

Shady if guilty? Hell yes

Worthy of expending time/resources to investigate and prove? No, and I recommend monitoring any outrage from TV, any other staff members, players or AD. Maybe it would be treated different by all mentioned if we lost but we didn't.

I doubt the coach even knew. The kid probably got to the dugout and threw it away.

So we are shaving aluminum bats in between steroid injections?

How does shaving bats help batters?

Uncrustables are horrible there's the post.

I just take issue with converting the quintessential money saving meal (PBJ sandwich) into something relatively expensive.

 

[Jackcrevol]

that's funny.

Same individuals who like Uncrustables have a cupboard with at least 3 jars of Smucker's Goobers.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Same individuals who like Uncrustables are Goobers

got it

I disagree with the article that transfers should not be considered. Both incoming, and maybe more importantly outgoing transfers drastically change rosters. if you only use highschool incoming, and do not account for those leaving, the numbers are skewed. Take our last Pruitt class, almost none of those hung around long enough to be developed.

They are counted. It is discussed in first 5 mins. Every team on the list except Auburn meets criteria with transfers (FSU is out if they don't have transfers). To make the list, at least 50% of your players need to be 4 or 5 stars. Apparently, TN doesn't fit it. I asked the OP and he cited we are close, however.

I am surprised we are behind Auburn and Florida in overall talent.

These cocky sons of britches need to get brought back down to earth. They ain't won crap with less competition.

No one is scared of Texas lol

Sad day when Mets vs Nationals is only MLB game to watch at the moment.

Indian head pennies worth anything?

Indian head pennies worth anything?

Depends on year and condition.

 

[jave36]

Man we were just talking about goo goo dolls the other day, and now they're doing a concert 5 minutes from my in laws....the week after we already have to be there for a wedding. Worth another 4 hour one way trip to see them? Do they still have it live, or are they washed up?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Depends on year and condition.

I have like 20 from the 1890s but they look like someone cleaned their butt with them
