Recruiting Football Talk VII

I prefer "Dunk it or chunk it."

Keep your sex life to yourself. This is a family site.

Russell Wilson released by Broncos.

Atlanta Falcons maybe

Not even a secret it was going to happen. Any action won’t be newly formulated.

I was a teen in the 90's when Tennessee was rolling. I am most excited for the teens that are fans now, like my daughter. They are getting to experience a revival of how much fun it is to be a Tennessee fan in most every sport.

Now it's time to pay it off like in the 90s...

 

[Devo182]

That's an embarassing Top 5 list lmao. Ohtani is the only one that should be on it. I'm pro-Caitlyn Clark but this is getting out of hand.

Jokic deserves it.

Favorite to go B2B2B MVP

Only Wilt and Larry have ever done that.

Shoot, he might go 4 in a row next season.

Also, go vols from the Mexican cloud forest. Which one of you is this?

Emblid messed that up.

The list should've been best Women's athlete. Then nobody complains

Serena Williams is #1 if she still competed.

I can't even imagine most folks agreeing on more than 2 of their top 5 at the moment...

Rn there's arguably no all-time greats in olympic sports. Messi is on his decline... Ya got Mahomes and couple of big ole baseball and basketball players that feel less athletic to some, but I agree with...not all will.

Have no problem including her somewhere in the top 5 at this moment, sure.


When I think of top 5 athletes, the likes of Phelps...Usain Bolt...great decathlonists come to mind. Just me.

Pete's shot volume he still averaged 44 points against grown men and Caitlyn is clearly built different from her peers that struggle to hit wide open lay ups.

I’m sympathetic to complaints about agendas, but when those complaints devolve into trashing women and women’s athletics, I draw the line.

My baseline view: men and women are biologically different and thus the sports they play are different. They are simply not comparable. Caitlyn shouldn’t be knocked because she doesn’t play against grown men - she shouldn’t have to play against grown men. Keep the men out of women’s sports and evaluate the two sports separately.

All that said - I do think it’s notable she played long and well enough to score more points in her career than Maravich, and it should be celebrated. Does that mean she’s better than him and could beat him 1x1 on his prime? In my view, that’s not the question or even the point. He’s a man, she’s a woman and they play different sports. It’s simply that we should celebrate her achievement, and comparing it to Maravich is an interesting data point that simply shows us how unique her accomplishment is.

Well said.

It's comical any of this even needs to be spelled out, but I guess it does.


Interestingly, when a man breaks an NCAA record that was a woman's...zero chatter...

Don't get the fragility, but it exists. Oh well, it's the world we live in. Greatness is greatness is greatness. Simple as that.

Emblid messed that up.

Embiid won it last year because some thought he got ripped off previous year.

Hey I'm with you Joker should have 3 in a row.

This year if Dallas was top 2 in Western Conference Luka wins it hands down. The guy is a walking Triple Double.

 

[volbeast33]

Emblid messed that up.

Embiid would have messed it up this year too if he had stayed healthy.

I agree with most of this. No need to devalue women's sports. It's an amazing achievement.

And since we're not devaluing women's sports, there's no need to bleed it into men's records. It is notable enough and laudible enough within women's NCAA. See the two underlined of your post for an apparent contradiction. There's little notable about scoring records in different sports.

 

[Jimmy Football]

He's a liar.

Hmm. Lying regarding an active proceeding into the legality of one’s conduct?

In some places, that’ll earn you a three-year show cause.

Can you point us to that? I'll go ahead and preface, if you can, that it would be stupid to make the comparison.

I'm interested to see the social media accolades of a man breaking women's NCAA records (short of a dude claiming to be a not-dude and beating not-dudes, which I also disagree with).

Thanks.

Hard to prove the unknown, but STAYING HEALTHY has been his kryptonite.

Stats that help your team win has been the customary path to MVP.

This is true though Luka averages 34.5 ppg, 9 rebounds and basically 10 assist per game. Shooting around 48 percent from field, 38 percent from 3 and 75 from FT line.

I will only be worried if the SC players have wristbands to help them with play calls.

Anthony Jordan coming out of retirement?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Nope, nope, nope.

 

[Devo182]

96% chance of winning another SEC reg season title under Barnes.

Feels good man.

 

[VolNash17]

read somewhere pretty holly is a crisp 12-35 vs ranked teams at Tennessee. If true (wouldn’t surprise me whatsoever) shows why everyone needs to line up and support the monster program… blue font.

Nope, nope, nope.

Man needs rest.

Good for him though. He's becoming a national brand name outside of just CBB junkies.
