Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

The fact that people would run this man off, if they could, speaks to the incredible levels of dumbassery humans can attain.

I wish someone had those tweets. That would be hilarious. I wonder if he reminded Reed he is Steven F'ng Pearl.

Can we replace SEC refs in all sports with computers

So the he has already used it and could only get another one with an exemption. Correct? Or does the 4 in 5 not allow for medical exemption?

Not sure if he could get a medical RS bc it’s supposed to be a season ending injury. His isn’t. But who freaking knows now with how things are?

 

[gordonr24]

Good lord. I’ve never seen a home schedule as good as 2026.

But on the flip side, 2027 is difficult and the home schedule is lousy.

Why do so many coaches try to do nepotism. Never understood it.

 

[DD4ME]

Woo hoo

We treat them like kings, and thusly, they act like kings.

9-3 is the new 11-1.

Yeah these schedules are no joke.. But I like it. Auburn, LSU Texas... Yeah that's cool. Plus Georgia tech ooc... Three old school in me loves playing these games.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Well, there goes the magic.

Because it's embraced.

 

[gordonr24]

LSU, Gumps, Texas and Auburn at home next year?

Sign me up.

Each and every one of those have a shot of being a night game lol this is going to be crazy. I hope Faizon or whoever is QB next year is ready for the moment. We’re gonna be on national tv like every week and recruiting opportunities will be absolutely insane.

I’d be surprised if Heupel doesn’t bring in a veteran QB to push GMac and Faizon next year and to be some insurance.

I can understand giving them their break so they get experience, letting them be an assistant and learn the profession, then use that as a springboard to opportunities they wouldn't have gotten without that experience.

But shoehorning them straight to the top without ever actually stretching their wings away from the shelter of daddy, that's just setting them up for failure. Pearl should go be an assistant somewhere and prove he's got what it takes to be a P5 HC.

This doesn’t even make sense. How is he on the winning side of it? They….haven’t won anything.

The ACC, SEC, and Big 12 all went to nine game conference schedules with one Power 4 out of conference game. When’s the Big Ten going to add a Power 4 out of conference game?

[Checker_the_Shire]

I just don’t have a good feeling. The only thing that gives me hope is if this does turn into a shootout, I trust our offense way more than I do theirs.

 

[volpack2]

I wonder how many of their ticket sales are Vol fans?

 

[Adam Sandler]

SEC, what have you done… This is the freaking gauntlet. Unless they are bargaining to give the sec 4 guaranteed playoff spots and the ability for more, I don’t see how this helps the conference and their members, based on post season authorities clearly valuing win totals over strength of schedule.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Virginia Tech fans are getting excited about this "proposed" increase in their athletic budget but they don't seem to understand none of this is NIL! None of this buys you a better roster. Nick Saban would not have been Nick Saban without superior players. VaTech proposes adding $229M for athletics

I mean if you’re behind in the game you’re behind. Upgrading facilities probably is the first step to retaining talent. Focus on attracting them once you have something besides a few bucks to keep them there, because NIL alone is a losing proposition and one that is probably harder to get booster funding for without a long term vision including moves like the one in the link posted.

Boom!
