Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Vol8188]

I continually hear people talk about the need for parity in the sport. Am I the only one whose favorite part of the sport is the lack of parity?

If the worst teams in the country had a 40% chance or so at winning against the best teams like they do in the NFL, I would never tune in.

I’m tuning in because I want to see train wrecks like the end of the James Franklin tenure. Because when you lack parity, the games have more value.

Darnell Wright getting some love from the broadcast crew on MNF

Because adidas doesn’t know shite about whose a good coach and who isn’t and whether a university should put itself through a coaching search without knowing what the outcome will be.

I posted proof earlier and just retired man. Not worth arguing with them. Can’t use logic to convince a person out of a belief when they never used logic to get into their belief in the first place.
Appreciate you though.

If Rhule leaves, Nebraska should offer Cignetti whatever he wants. Whatever it takes, imo...if Im AD at Nebraska.

Is Curt Cignetti the next Matt Campbell?

Isn’t it funny these guys have meteoric rises, can’t miss hires, and he could wind up being an analyst for for some other jabroni trying to resurrect his career in 10 years.

*Matt Campbell is just an example

F Bama.

F Bama.

Took the words right outta my mouth

 

[Jack Burton]

We don’t need anymore commercials of people eating fast food in their cars. Lowest common denominator.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

We need to spray our whole defense down with baby oil…

Then they'd miss more tackles...

 

[onescovol]

Ok. That's your opinion. Not sure if I've seen a much worse season tbh. Mostly the last few games.

Jmho. And I don't like to BS on refs, call it how I see it both ways. Most seasons it balances out, but not always, and I've seen it go both ways. But it's been ugly as hell so far, again jmo. I'm not an expert and see very few views/angles like all fans, but some of the calls have been historically egregious from what I can tell.

That’s the point.

Not sure what bringing up a discrete number of penalties, not accounting for context (down and distance, time remaining in game, impact, etc) nor the missed calls with their context really does?

Posters disagree whether there is a conspiracy to determine outcomes of games, but regardless of that many outcomes of games have been determined because of officiating (whether corrupt or incompetent). Maybe we’re on the same page and agree that too many of our games, and league-wide games have been negatively impacted or changed because of poor officiating?

F Bama.

Truuuuuuu

The troll is too stupid to see that he hits him in the chest.

How is it targeting? Not defenseless. No crown of the helmet to helmet contact.

Sorry pig but you cryin bacon when all that’s there is grease.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Guess, I'll be listening to Mike Keith.

Thank the good Lord we have that option now finally.

After what we are going to do to Bama this week, their fans will be praying Penn St poaches DeBoer

A heartwarming thought

The officials who rigged that game for UGA should be fired for sure. Along with the head of officiating in Birmingham. Our game too with the astounding and decisive DPI no-call to alter our game result in UGA’s favor. By rights, UGA has 3 losses now.

@butchna. @Cosmo Kramer


The Bears get revenge from the Hail Mary loss to Commanders last season... You guys are over .500 now... congratulations.

Hard to disagree.

I almost want to say let the coaches coach - but my eyes don't lie. Banks is insistent on running zone and Bama feasts on it.

Except against Stockton vs Georgia when everyone knows he can’t read a zone. Sleepy Tim needs to wake up

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Yeah 300 pounds running at you full speed when you’re maybe 170 soaking wet.

So when Proctor line up in the backfield this weekend let’s just count it as 6. Got it

 

[Orangeredblooded]

I think he’s excellent at stabilizing and advancing a program…to your point, so was Franklin.

Off topic from this, how are you and your family? I miss seeing you here. You’ve always had a unique way of putting things. I still remember when I had to call uncle when you had me on the mat, . I’m still salty about that by the way. Hope all is well with you, wife and girls.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Did we ever figure out why Sanders didn't start?

I’m guessing because Perry has been one of the best RT’s in CFB up until the Arky game.

 

[UTSuave’]

Has anyone mentioned how bad our defense has been? Or how coincidentally awesome our offense has been?

lol don’t mention the defense it gets a little hectic in here when it’s brought up

 

[UTSuave’]

Lol big 10 goes 3-5 at best in those

Even worse

 

[UTSuave’]

Oh dear
