Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

The only thing that might be a big difference is boo was on our defense those two games. I think we are seeing proof in the pudding the last couple of games with him not playing anymore.

Our star has not been good this year. Between boo and Jmac. Wish we had used 4-3 sooner. I think it’s a good thing to run for our Lb unit. Can leave Telander to play a more natural LB spot and let your speedy LBs (Spillman, Harmon, Burns, Perlotte, Carter) fly around.

Step 1: Have the two biggest conferences gobble up the best teams from the other conferences

Step 2: Have the two biggest conferences, which took the best teams, complain about how much harder their schedules are and that they deserve more playoff spots

Step 3: Raze college football to the ground; profit

Can you go lock Moa down so we can drama free Signing Day?

Isn’t that what makes NSD the best though?

I think we land moa personally

Oh I agree, but we dont need any Moa drama.

We seem to play Kansas every other year in hoops. Not that I’m complaining. Barnes has elevated the program to the point that we’re playing non SEC bluebloods on a yearly basis.

 

[Go Fight Win]

Recruiting wise it sure will be a good pitch for Barnes: “yeah we beat Houston, Kansas, Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, etc last year”

Literally nobody cares about winning that tournament minus a few of yall. It’s a pre-conference schedule tourney that means NOTHING for the season goals. Outside the tournament we will play at Syracuse, Illinois on neutral court, and Louisville. We’ve got plenty enough of a tough schedule. The only thing that matters is that you win the games you’re scheduled to play, so you get as good a field of 68 seeding as possible. That’s it.

Starting next year it's going to get pretty crazy. The day before the SEC announced 9-game conference schedules, the CFP put out a statement that they're updating their (secret) selection criteria/formula. Basically reserving the right to put any team in. The SEC was waiting for that before they went to 9 conference games. Every 3-loss SEC team will be in the mix until the final selection show.

I think it will be 16 teams too

Winner gets $1M in NIL money.

We are playing for $300k.

We beat Houston and are coming out $300k richer, so I ain’t mad. But Barnes is probably a little mad, guess he could have kept starters in against Rutgers and tried to humiliate them even further.

“Alex Golesh was why our offense was good”

Just think how good we would be if we had Alex Golesh standing on the sideline again while Heup called the plays.

It wouldn’t have mattered in that tourney

 

[TrippieRedd]

Back when we could laugh at ourselves instead of getting offended. It was a better, healthier time.

Indeed. Truly the best.

 

[Sandman Vol]

Holy copium.

Good for them figuring out how to not be mentally crushed by their mediocrity, but when it comes to football they suckkkkk.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Internets are saying Golesh to Arky…trying to confirm.

 

[MarcoVol]

Golesh to Arkansas?

It’s not necessarily about who we play or winning it, it’s about the payout that is dumb. Our players should get rewarded, and a $700k difference based on scheduling and point differentials is extreme.

Every party has its pooper….

Yes, but every pooper has a party, too.

Arkansas fans seem disappointed it’s Golesh. What did they honestly expect with how terrible their program has been? Golesh is a good hire. He’s going to do well there.

Did not know that, thank you. Still don’t think it greatly changes my feeling though.

Questions: To be used… when? For the current players or just to the school in general? I mean $1million ain’t nothing and that could be plenty useful, but in terms of this season nobody is going to be saying well they only played Kansas and Houston instead of Houston and Gonzaga/michigan… I like that we were in a position to get the backups the experience we might need to rely on over the course of what has continued to become a more and more grueling schedule in the sec.
