Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Oh $h!+

Here's an easy shortcut to know if a PE deal is a bad deal for YOU:


You have an offer from PE.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Now I'm pulling for the fighting Lebby's even more than before!

 

[Devo182]

Officiating is so bad from top to bottom.

There is no reason to review this.

Sensors and AI can't take over officiating soon enough. Humans are just bad at it.

Probably not much with that powerstroke in it. I'd definitely be swapping that engine out and I know it would be at least $5k to do it how I'd want it. Too much of a pita, I think. . . plus I've already got 40 other piles of junk waiting for me to do something with them,

You would take out a 7.3 powerstroke? Seriously? Got 2 of them now and absolutely bulletproof! Much better than the 6.0, 6.7 ever were and they pull the enclosed trailers and cars just fine. Had 2 previously that had 500k and still going strong today, we just wanted some lower mileage ones so one has 170k and the other a 1st year 1994.5 7.3 with 112k. Now the early year 7.3 weren’t very good but those 1994.5-2003 were really good. Also by the way, the 7.3l powerstrokes go for a lot of money! I’ve been offered 10k for mine and wouldn’t come close to taking that, unless we go with a Toterhome I’d never get rid of it.

Since we have similar reading tastes apparently, any recommendations?

Not of late. I have had little time to read fiction for several years now, sadly. When I have had the chance, I returned to some old favorites like King's The Stand (that took a while again lol), LoTR, 1984, Narnia series, Neverwhere by Gaiman. (Have you read that? If not... Do!)

I'll probably reread some old Clive Barker next year after early retirement.

Weaveworld... Imajika...

You ever read those? OMG? (Being Barker, there's some fairly graphic eroticism in there if I remember correctly. But worth skimming or skipping it, to get the rest of the prose.) He was (is?) a master at dark fantasy.

Edited:

Also, thinking of starting GoT. I loved what I saw of the series, but stropped watching due to the sex. IMO, it was basically porn. I hear that that is much less forefront in the books, so I think I'd enjoy it. Rumor I've heard is that the energy put into showing sex in the series, was spent describing food in the books. (Everyone has to have their passions, lol.)

 

[Devo182]

Also the #1 team on the list by far is LSU and I only ever hear the league is slanted for Bama and/or UGA. We adding in LSU to the theory now?

2nd and 3rd are USCe and UK (glanced this time, apologies if I’m getting that wrong). Where do they fit into the corruption of who is rewarded night games?

Folks forgetting (quickly) the major SEC games on CBS were 3:30. We got a lot of those.

The USC and UKs got night games...because they were basically garbage games.

LSU for obvious reasons gets a lot of night games and always will. Seeing all those drunks go ballistic...it just warms the heart.

Have a Neil Gaiman book I just threw in the trash. No thanks.

 

[Devo182]

Weather is going to impact the game Saturday and I’m not sure which side it favors. Looks like it’ll start out dry and the rain will move in towards halftime.

Well we're not great at the run and seem to rely more on big passing plays this year...so we better load up in H1. Cause fumbles H2.

I tried to revisit Sandman before all those accusations surfaced. I couldn't believe how toxic it was. I guess as a young person you don't really have good perspective on that. At least I didn't.

 

[Devo182]

Much simpler than that.

Obesity map:

Interestingly Appalachia (just look at the map) ain't the problem. It's the belt and other low lyers. It's the communities that used to farm and no longer do.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Skip Bayless said this?
Douche Bag




"There is no way Travis Hunter should’ve chosen to be baptized on the morning of a game. He is losing interest. He is mentally checking out on the Jags."

Some things are way way bigger than football, Skippy. This is the biggest.

Stardust was my entry into Gaiman (that's a gross phrasing), but I quickly discovered Neverwhere and loved it. Then read everything Gaiman.

Turns out he's a scummy guy too, though he actually got canceled for it lol.

We do have similar tastes though. I've heard good things about Barker and also Glen Cook. I'll do some more digging on Barker for sure.

When you retire, if you like dark fantasy, and you appreciate higher, dense, complex/complicated literature, you have to try Malazan. Commit to it for the first 4 books, then dump it if you still don't like it, but don't start it unless you're willing to read at least the first 4. It's changed the way I view and evaluate all other fiction, not just fantasy.

Which one?

Accusations?

And I read Gaiman young. My filter was much different then.

Dixieland Delight was conceived during a trip up 11W. It’s not a reference to the part of the Tennessee River in Alabama.

Faith is something ya can't "attack"
Piss poor look on him...........JMO


with all the crap in this world....this should be commended............not attacked.

[Orange_Crush]

Just looked up Gaiman and his accusations. Had no idea.

Really dark stuff, but we also don't know how much of it is true. It does appear to be a pattern of behavior but it's not my place to judge him as a person. But I still don't have to consume media that I think is culture poison.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Daniel gatreuax is probably the fairest I've seen. He's absolutely the dweebiest of all P4 officials and definitely got swirlies as a kid, but I've never watched a game of his and thought "wow he's awful or biased."

PASS INTERFERENCE.... . AGAIN

AKA ....Gomer

Daniel Gautreaux called our UAB game this year.

Remember, his crew was ok with this....
*He also called our 23 georgia game.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Which one?

Norse Mythology

And to put it into perspective, I still have the Manifesto, Art of the Deal.

I wrote a book but it never got published.."The title was "line in sand" by Peter Dragon..
