Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Blazing Fury is still there.

nothing but a snake pit.

 

[Rishvol]

I wonder if the OSU people will let the beer wall back after losing last night

 

[vols 30]

Did they ever put the water back ? You used to get splashed on the last drop, but the last couple of times I was there, it was water free

Not sure.

They took it down twice and replaced it with a water bottle wall. They are doooomed!

Have you ever actually listened to the lyrics of Third Eye Blind's "Semi Charmed Life" song, specifically the 2nd verse? 3rd or 4th verse is. . . different too. . . *just read them all, that whole song is jacked up,

"The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth, will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said. . . "

There are some really popular songs we've all heard that have really messed up lyrics when you actually listen closely to them. This dude on IG makes videos pointing them out.

The FSU pitcher pitched a terrific game last night...

 

[Orangeburst]

Game time: 3 O'Clock High

You ever seen that movie?

yes..he hires a bully to protect him from another bully, and then his bully gets whipped and comes after him.

 

[knoxvol52]

Hopefully CTV slips Doyle a Xanax, so he can be even keel. I understand being hyped up but being to hyped up means overthrowing the pitches..

Pumped Up Kicks

 

[peaygolf]

The FSU pitcher pitched a terrific game last night...

Is it 16 or 19 times they have been to the WS?...........without a win..........

 

[knoxvol52]

Is it 16 or 19 times they have been to the WS?...........without a win..........

19. Their ex Head Coach I pulled for to win in the 80's poor Mike Martin deserved a title.

 

[Jackcrevol]

We dont need even keel. We need 12 hr incremental Seratonin Reuptake to around 3:30PM

Then, after 1st inning.

 

[drvenner]

Yeah, those are the ones I'm calling "star-pops". I think they were called Rocket pops around here too, but I'm remembering the store version name.

I think we called them bomb pops

Hopefully CTV slips me one too

 

[Jackcrevol]

I think we called them bomb pops

in the pussification of Murca, these have gotten much much smaller



In my day we walked all way across the pool, both ways. Our bomb pops were much much wider.

Football recruiting by state. I posted this last year, and the state of Tennessee was #8 for overall talent when reviewing blue-chip recruits (2025). This trend continues and Tennessee is 10th this year. While Florida toppled Texas in 2026, they do have 3 flagship universities, and 2 other competitive programs in the state. Texas has similar competition among their state universities. Georgia and California offer a "pot of gold" for USC and UGA being they do not have another flagship university to compete with. Ohio State also enjoys a lack of competition. Penn St, UT, and LSU sit in fantastic positions that allow high level in state and cherry picking outside of it.

Washington, Oregon, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Colorado will be forced to break the bank to remain competitive. Oklahoma and Missou are in sneaky good positions due to location. When looking at the chart the last two years it is obvious why Clemson hates Tennessee so much. They need us down to stay up top. Likewise, we do not want UNC, NCST, or DUKE to become a major player.

You see, there's this thing called fun, right...

It's all fun and games until you take a full can of beer right on the ole coconut

 

[drvenner]

Any recommendations for things to do with kids (Ages 3 & 10) in Washington DC? Going to a Nats game, Natural History Museum, Zoo, and American Bible Museum. Any suggestions?

Don't miss the air and space Museum or Arlington National
