Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Knee jerk reaction but after tonight I think small has a better shot at making the lions final roster than Hendon

I don’t know if Hooker is going to make it as an NFL quarterback in the long run. I do feel certain, though, that it could be a blessing in disguise for him to get released by the Lions and land an opportunity with another organization. It’s not working for him in Detroit.

A $3000 increase is wrong, no matter how you look at it.

A $3000 increase of the same seats, yes. If that section was ripped out and remade into a club, with better seating and amenities, then I disagree. The Neyland Lower West Club was bleachers before the renovation. Now it is club grade seating. Not the same product, rightfully not the same price.

Over under on Rivals dropping Moa to a 4*?

I don't see Arkansas necks year

I hope that, if they do finagle their way to the CWS, they somehow lose in the most heartbreaking way possible.

both centers hire contracted 'muscle' for the season. unless folks have some know how they are usually clueless.

we bought storage shed from lowe's using gift cards. went to lowe's, they were.... clueless. one person was 'knew little bit' about them. had to wait on them, they then informed me they don't carry many of the sheds in stock. i'd have to order online.

then told me i'd need to build a platform. since sheds have them, some are hollow in bottom.

oh! and the shed would be have to be putv together.

i asked if they could do it. they said, maybe. sometimes they will put together if I buy in store. but i'd still have to have a flat concrete or wood base.

several weeks later, and an entire weekend we received our order in the email. we had it shipped to the store to avoid shipping, and so they could take the 5% lowe's card discount off.

guess what? there was one person who knows how to do that. and had to wait a long time for them to do that.

then they struggled getting the gift cards to work.

oh, don't worry. we (wife) opted not to pay them to put it together. we have kids, so, it took about two full days to assemble

in short, take the time to plan it out. take your measurements and buy as big as you can.

build your platform off the ground, ensure its where it will always be. there is permanence.

I would recommend spending the extra money. Height wise you can always go taller, than deeper.

There are dozens of local wood shed builders. Who may be able to custom make one. Wish I had spent the coin for nicer one.

I asked this yesterday. We're ahead of Florida in Recruiting. YEA! But they have a higher average player ranking. Whose having the better recruiting year. I ask becasue Florida is my least fav competition.

 

[Orange.]

I don’t know where people are in relation to Starkville, but you can get upper deck, 50 yard line-ish tickets for $60-$70. I’m 2.5 hours away and going to that game. The university actually still has lower level seats left.

Great idea. Represent! I went to one of games there once.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I absolutely cannot believe that you left @Ulysees E. McGill off this list!
For shame yeti whippersnapper for shame

He is scared of me..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

would make me happy knowing we have right folks in place

I already know that we have the right coach. ..it would just make it more obvious to everybody else that isn't a complete dip...then again, those idiots are so stupid I don't think winning a title would make them see it...hell, just look at all the stupid criticism Tony got from the Idiot Margin this year for example...just absolute ****ing morons.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Jake is a warrior and a leader. Gonna be a great battle.

I hope they are both are so good it gives the staff massive headaches trying to pick which one to throw out there every week.

I wouldn’t worry about rankings. 1-5 can be changed easily by one big commit. If you are recruiting top 15 in the country every year, that is all that matters. We should be worried about needs and some needs will come before others in any year. Some position groups are always ranked higher than others for more four and five stars. I don’t even look at rankings of other teams anymore. I just worry about where we are short and if we are stacking the group. All IMO

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

No one is talking about basketball right now (rightfully so with football gearing up) but this has the chance to be our best team under Barnes if they all gel and reach their talent level. This team is super talented.

August 1, 1981
MTV; Music Television goes on the air for the first time ever, with the words (spoken by one of MTV’s creators, John Lack): “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll.” The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” was the first music video to air on the new cable television channel, which initially was available only to households in parts of New Jersey. MTV went on to revolutionize the music industry and become an influential source of pop culture and entertainment in the United States and other parts of the world, including Europe, Asia and Latin America.




Happy Birtday.......Thank you for 14 years of great music and memories.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I have stated before, Jake has a chance to be very good this Fall and I would not be surprised if to see him being the MAN.

Honestly, it would kind of surprise me. He didn't really show me much to get excited about when he got a chance on the field last year...but admittedly that doesn't really mean very much...sometimes QBs make a huge jump.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Merk isn't one of those 5* QB's everyone slobbers over. He has a chip on his shoulder and is trying to prove he deserves the QB1 job ahead of Aguilar..

I would love to see him just blow up this year...it would be absolutely awesome.

That’s the spirit! Choke, pigs, choke again!

But can they break it is the question.

[therickbol]

It would have been far more effective if it wasn’t posted all over the internet for every opposing team to see.

We wouldn't use it except for a very specific rare occasion. Putting it out there seems strategic. The other team will waste some game prep time preparing for it.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Depends really.

I tend to look at overall ranking but also where the best players are. Im not familiar with floridas class tbh. But imo a highly ranked QB, CB, OT, and pass rusher should weigh heavily than other positions.

We have a 5 star QB and OT.

Florida may have the better class but that doesn’t mean we don’t have an awesome one as well.

He seems to throw the ball into the dirt a lot or low. But when he gets it right, it has great zip.

 

[therickbol]

A $3000 increase is wrong, no matter how you look at it.

If it's not a need (medical, utilities, etc) then it's simply business. People are allowed to be angry. We get angry about lots of things in life. But it doesn't mean it's justified anger. The reality is because players were not being paid for decades that the 'product' was able to be priced well below market equilibrium. The market is calibrating to the new dynamics and supply and demand IS how pricing works in a market.

We don't scream about how it's an injustice that Ferrari prices me out of their products. Or the mansions on the beach. Why do we think socialist pricing should be applied to college football?

They have actually used some creativity to allow fans that can't afford to attend games to get some part of the experience. They should continue to do that and I assume they will.

Anyone live/been to Houston and know great bbq in the area?

My BIL in Houston says Truth BBQ is the best. Blood Bros is another great one.

Anyone live/been to Houston and know great bbq in the area?

Buddy who lives there said Truth, Roegel and Pinkerton’s are excellent. Also said a place just outside the city called Killen’s is great and probably the best bbq he’s ever had.

Truth is a Houston location that was rated as 9th best in Texas.
