Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[knoxvol52]

Shiiii…tttt @volbeast33 @pismonque @knoxvol52 please remind this man all the S**t the dodgers received the same year

Yes I heard it all.

60 game season
No fans or home field advantage
Yada,yada,yada, blah,blah,blah.


Don't matter they played the season short or not it counts.

I remember when individuals were talking crap about the strike season in 1981.

The NBA has absolutely obliterated this thread.

NBA sucks

 

[Devo182]

Wow. I didn’t think there were this many NBA fans left.

Huge among the younger demos. Always has been. Baseball is being kept alive by the older crowd and basketball is the future for many...soccer's growth may be higher, but volume isn't there yet.

The big thing NBA has going for it is the international following, on top of the below US stats.

At least among my group threads, they're just as obsessed with the NBA as the NFL. They can rattle off all sorts of stats on players. Meanwhile, my brain is filled with UT stats I try to keep up though, because I do enjoy watching the pro sports when I find time...just don't have much of that these days.

To be fair only the NBA scout took over the thread. Most just sat back and watched the knowledge being spewed.

NBA is such a player heavy league most people I'm my age group (29) stopped following the NBA once the players they grew up with retire. Very few care about a team

 

[utvolmaniac]

Totally agree with this sentiment!
Gimme that old time CFB and the classic conferences!

And Notre Dame still without a conference?

Put them in the ”Big 8” along with Boise St to balance out the conference to 10 teams like the rest.

They should have very little problems winning the conference in most years.

Found some old tix in a folder…..
Good, and some not so good, memories as a youth

 

[knoxvol52]

Notre Dame doesn't want to be in a conference for financial reasons. In a conference they just get a cut of the revenue, being an independent they get the big chunk of the pie...

You know when the Wagon Queen Family Truckster pulls (backs) into a $40 parking spot, between an Infiniti SUV and Lexus SUV driven by an 18 year old coed, and her friend Bambi. They and their wife beater, hat backwards have been drinking Pappy since 330. Things may be a bit askew.

But what is your stance on hemroids vs yeast infections?

But what is your stance on hemroids vs yeast infections?

Are you married? Do you have kids?

Not being an ass. But, if none of the above has ever been experienced. You havent really lived. And I mean, through your betrothed.

'Hey look at this!'

Kids like to say their favorite sport is soccer because it's cool to be counter culture... I don't see the TV ratings supporting what they're saying though. Basketball you do see it in the ratings though.

Agreed, but it’s time they join the rest of the NCAA football world.

 

[Adam Sandler]

No stats are irrelevant for anybody who watched the games. All box scores do is give people who didn't watch information about what happened in the game. However, that information will always be limited compared to actually watching the game.

Do you really need to see the box score from the Bills vs Chiefs playoff game last Sunday to know who did or didn't play well? When you watch a game closely you will have superior information to any stat sheet.

I judge players exclusively on the eye test. I watch them play and determine how good they are based on what I see in game rather than basing my opinion on what I see after the game on the stat sheet.

That’s conveniently subjective

Soccer is harder to pin down, because Premier and La Liga eat up a lot of the viewership. Soccer fans will say they love soccer.

Not sure if the MLS would really be that high, if in a vaccuum, similar to the NFL/NBA. But the sport is certainly growing in fandom here irregardless.

To end the 'back and forth' over LeBron?

LeBron’s son > MJ’s son

Jordan's son charged with possession of cocaine

The NBC pie

Sorry catholics...

 

[Weezer]

@Freak id like to propose a contest.

Winner of the NBA bball argument gets an all expense paid trip to Papermill Awful Waffle with @Weezer .

Does that mean my meal is paid for as well?

 

[Weezer]

Jordan's son charged with possession of cocaine

Depends. If MJ's son was snorting coke off a stripper's ass, I'm giving him the nod.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I was watching that episode live and I bout fell out of the bed.


*Parts of her story are true, there was a shop in Pigeon Forge that had a live black bear and you could buy it a coke. That was one of my papaw's favorite things to do. We'd go to Pigeon Forge/ Silver Dollar City quiet a bit when I was young and we'd always stop at that shop on the way back home. The bear would get a Coca-Cola and I'd get a Nehi Peach.

I mean, that’s obvious.
