Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Yet, they all have championships.

I have no clue.
Did any of those three have to vacate a championship?

 

[rikberry31]

Fidrych was entertaining, I think you could add Luis Tiant and Joaquin Andujar also.

The Mad Hungarian.

That hurts a little
I was talking with a friend of mine about an older couple who lived two houses down from us when I was a kid. This would have been around 1968-69 so I was 10-11 years old. Anyway dad would have my brother and I go help them with odd jobs as he had been severely wounded in WW1
It dawned on me that I’ve had conversations with someone born in the 1800s

Wait till you meet @InVOLuntary , @BaldBiker , @Orangeredblooded , or myself. @Orangeredblooded is the youngest and she is at least in her 1800s. I am now in trouble for being even remotely close to telling her age.

@InVOLuntary and @BaldBiker are almost twice that old…it’s why they call her kiddo.
And I am the oldest by a little bit.

Bobby Riggs disrespectful to Women on the Tennis court, then went out and got his @$$ kicked by Billie Jean King.

It was actually a setup masterly played the villain by Bobby Riggs.

Damn. Reminds me of that time I ran a 40.6 forty in jeans and flip flops after drinking beer all day, during SEC fan experience.

Damnit my knees hurt thinking out that.

If you can visualize a saltine cracker moving at a medium pace across the Georgia Dome basement floor, yeah its kinna like that.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Boo Carter set a really bad precedent for the team. He threatened to leave as a leverage play for more $, and got it. Now RGIII is doing the same thing. If he gets his way, im worried more players will start to do that to get more $

Bingo. Let Gibson walk. Call his bluff.

Very informative. That video needs to be shown on in our schools..... right after the pledge of allegiance and the LORD'S prayer.



The 80s were so good. I'm thankful I got to grow up during that era.

Dont get it. Never liked the show. Just didnt jive.

Old street dog takes one of the "beggin strips" treats and bites it in half. He eats one half, then hides the other one. I swear he was in prison before I got him.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

As a older individual I think what Gibson is doing is shady but if I was playing ball in this era in college I probably would do the same thing. Gibson isn't breaking the rules because there are no rules, it's just a overall bad look on his rep.

That tracks..

Just got to Daikin Park for the game and the roof is open. It's a great day for baseball.

Decent data if maybe not a touch obvious. As a math guy i never hate on people trying to find rhyme or reason, but I know some don't like him.

"Missing"..on Dubar really really hurt this team. If he could have provided above average play to this roster, then it would have pushed it way up the ladder.

Losing JP and Carr being a loser quitter made missing on Dubar even more of a problem.

Along with a improved Soph JP, and Carr adding some value also...if Dubar had been what he was supposed to be...this team would be a shoe in for the E8...and it would have been hard to keep them from going all the way.

But...it didn't work out that way....so I love this team and how hard they work to overcome their obvious and understandable issues due to missing* those three players....I think what they are doing in THIS iteration of the SEC is literally astounding considering....and it blows my mind that more people do not understand that and appreciate what they have done this year....it's nuts.

(I know Dubar isn't "missing" in the same sense as JP and Carr...but he may as well be)

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Has to be some sort of CBA in the future

I've been screaming this from the beginning...this current situation is untenable.

 

[rockytop25]

Yeah, you can’t tie team rules to their NIL deals, because the NIL is supposed to be separate from the team. We all know it isn’t, but legally it is supposed to be. The players have all of the leverage.

Has to be some sort of CBA in the future

Who would be the "owners" in this situation though? Who would force a lockout?

I find it hard to believe schools would enforce a lockout like pro teams/leagues would because they make so much $$ off college athletics.

 

[knoxvol52]

That tracks..

Wasn't you one of the individuals on board with players getting compensated financially? Now that they are and no rules are keeping this chaos organized you're pissed off because players aren't being loyal. What the hell did you expect with 17-22 year old individuals? Fans can't have their cake and eat it too.

Schools would be the owners and it wouldn’t be much different than the pros. Pro owners make big money off the athletes too. It would just all have to be bargained. It is definitely more messy than pro sports because of all of the title IX and all of the non-revenue producing sports.

I think the disconnect isnt that the players are getting paid, it’s the insane way the NCAA and schools have gone about it that created absolute chaos. It didn’t have to be the Wild West.

And he made a bunch of money on the match. Not bad for an old guy that couldn't compete on the tour anymore!

What we could end up with is schools could start forfeiting games due to losing too many players to other teams or their own players sitting out cause they are not happy with their NIL deals. This in turn would cause the other teams to have fewer games and TV would lose a lot of TV revenue. Maybe that would finally cause some change.
