Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Christian Lowe]

I prefer Adidas over Nike!

They never got our colors right

 

[Ten_Titans]

Am I missing something? Why the insult?

24.5 inch vertical leap.

That's kinda like being a wide receiver and running a 4.85 at the combine. That 500 lb lineman that played at Florida had a 25 inch vertical.

Good! Rumor was the Bears were looking at that Christmas Day rematch. Putting them on the first Monday Night against the Vikings was trialbyfiery enough.

Looks like Cowboys visiting the Bears in Week 3... Could have a little wager here...

 

[Ten_Titans]

This will cost us recruits! Am I wrong?

That would have been a dumb reason to factor in before NIL. That is downright next-level stupid factor in the NIL era.

People, including recruits, will say whatever. I doubt it will be a deciding factor for anybody.

More concerning is that every alternate jersey Adidas has ever tried to make for us or anyone else has looked cheap and ugly as hell.

We need to Schinano Sunday the Adidas deal, or throw a golf ball and mustard bottle on the field, or something. We cant go back to adidas, they are dog

 

[Batman1948]

I'm in the minority I know but I like adidas much better than Nike (their gear is uncomfortable to me)

I won't buy anything with Nike on it

I do like Adidas though---hope UT can make it happen again

 

[JCVol00]

I do have to admit tho, seeing the pic of the team celebrating the USCjr win in ‘13 with the Adidas made me nostalgic so im rewatching that game lol

That was a great one. I remember being in my apartment in Boulder and just letting out a huge scream when Palardy’s FG went through. It had been years since we’d beaten a ranked team. That was a good South Carolina team, too. Finished ranked #4.

100% don't care about apparel, personally. Don't buy regardless.

But I suspect Nike is still much more popular with recruits. That's what matters.

Welp, the Celtics go down 3-1 to New York and blew another double digit lead in the 2nd half. Watching Rick "The Boston Massacre" Pitino celebrate with New York fans is extra annoying.

Tatum spent most of the night rolling around on the court like a soccer player or LeBron James. He finally went out for good with what looked to be an Achilles tear or something with his ankle. (The last I saw of him, they were pushing him around in the bowels of MSG in a wheelchair. )


*New avi change. Larry deserves better

*I called that one. I knew I should have stayed in medical school.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I like the fit of adidas clothing better than Nike but our Nike uniforms are 1000 times better looking than the adidas ones.

Ya that looked like me trying to jump. I'm surprised they gave him 23 inches. Looked more like 15

No we need to stay with Nike.

This is all just re negotiating. No way they go Adidas. Would def hurt us in AAU and T&F.

 

[Orangeburst]

MJ took Nike over Adidas, and he was the Goat..just saying..

INB4 Possum..





Seriously, watch that movie Air..tells the story.

For some reason I think of Pig Howard when I think of adidas uniforms

I've heard Adidas is making a comeback
