Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Jimmy Football]

He and Iggy Pop secretly played golf together. They didn’t want to tarnish their image…..

Same. I never wanted to be seen playing golf.
















Not that I was embarrassed to be playing golf, I just didn’t want anyone to know how bad at it I was.

I normally do 3. One I think will happen, mandatory Tennessee wins bracket, and random upset bracket

Not sure what a 15T is, but giving it a like since it must be good enough for you to mention.

15 trillion. Maybe he should help with some NIL.

WVU Assistant Sheds Light on North Carolina AD's NCAA Tournament Incentive

Somehow, West Virginia was left out of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night, and there has not been an explanation given that has made sense as to why. Committee

Not a good look at all. I was curious about the excuse for the injury.

When people start discussing committee decisions, this is why some have no faith in them. The committees are made up of AD's or people tied to the very schools they are associated with. Just the mere fact that Cunningham is the AD at UNC can influence what the rest of the committee decides. It's simply about ratings and the almighty dollar, and we continue to lose integrity in sports.

I agree the officiating was awful, but they also called some on Florida that could be debated too. I don’t think the fix was in, we have to play at a top level to beat Florida in every aspect & we simply didn’t.

We didn’t hit enough 3s & we didn’t rebound well enough (especially our bigs).

Now the tight whistle, definitely played a part in some of that especially rebounding.

The game we beat them, we held them under 25% FG & 15% 3PT and out rebounded them, that didn’t happen today.

Not a “fix” imo, a tight whistle from an inconsistent SEC crew & it impacted both teams.

One difference is them (and everyone else) holding our guys when they're moving without the ball. We run more off-ball motion than most of our opponents and as Coach has said, the refs refusal to enforce freedom of movement rules is a huge impediment to our offensive effectiveness. It another reason we seem to do better when the drive and dish (because we're not dependent on the motion to get us good looks). So when the refs decide (like Sunday) to start calling various forms of contact a lot more (and you're right it was highly random) than normal, but they don't call the holding and grabbing more frequently as well; then we find ourselves at a distinct disadvantage. Especially with our limited depth. If they had increased the holding/grabbing calls as well then UF would have had a few foul out as well and we'd have shot more foul shots. No ideas if we would have won, but it would have been a tight game.

Can’t wait till Duke loses in round 2 and we can all point and laugh at the media.

Doesn’t Dook have the easiest bracket? And AuBarn perhaps the toughest? Wouldn’t that make Dook the de facto 1 seed?

Don't have it, but 150 is insanely steep for a 6yr, 7 month aged bourbon. General rule of thumb is $10 for every year aged. Not always tried and true, but that's usually what I'm willing to spend on a bottle. OTOH it's a fairly unique mashbill and proceeds go to Vol Club. I would have hard time believing the juice itself is worth 150 though.

It’s for winning and grinning.

Yeah will be interesting to see how the teams we see in the tournament defend it. SEC teams usually just hold until it's called, but we could see teams letting us move freely and Chaz might have a huge night against someone.

We played Wofford last year early in the season. Was close in the 1st half, but then we separated in the 2nd half...shot over 40% from deep Santi went 3 of 6 and Gainey 4 of 10 (the 2 guards that were used most in our motion offense last year). ZZ was still coming back from ACL though so was a bit of an odd lineup, Shack started and ran point.

7 of their current players were here for that game...we of course are a completely different team than the one they faced last year.

This dude doesn't see any problems.....
*I can't believe we have members on this board that think referees can't be bought. College athletics are corrupt. There's too much money involved for it not to be.

My friends used to give me crap about playing golf when I was in Jr High and HS……thank goodness I was ok at baseball…….

Now that’s all my old friends do is play golf …….

That was a conference championship game. A known "inconsistent" SEC crew, should not have been assigned to officiate it. It's not fair to either team or their fans.
