Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Vol423]

If UT were to go the GM route, who would be a good candidate? Saw a stat that almost 70% of schools have this role right now.

I don't believe that stat for a second.

 

[Revived2002]

Not surprised.

Football is a hard, unrewarding sport in my view

Lift weights, learn playbooks, sweat through practice, only ever play at most half a game each week because of specialization, get beat up, only play 10-15 games a year.

A baseball team gets that many in a little over two weeks… basketball in a month or so.

Wow...a bit surprised Jakobe Thomas left even though a starting role was right there for the taking.

He didn't leave, afaik. He's is prolly negotiating. Has happened before.

Clearly, you're an example of the type of guy they're seeking to weed out. You don't love the game.

maybe, I didnt even pay attention. . . didnt look like the other gifs at first glance.

I can understand you not recognizing @joevol33 without his GA bulldog apparel on.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Loaded?

Left out Joey Aguilar!

But not for long!

Apologies. Saw where 8 of the 12 playoff teams had GM positions at their schools. So, close to 70% of playoff teams did.

Kirby Smart has lost control of the USC basketball program. Very Sad.

(Best wishes and full recovery for the young commit and his family.)

Plus how tall the dude in the gif is threw me off.

He'll have company soon.

I was going to say, I've only heard of about 4 or 5 schools nationwide. There was no way I could believe it was 70% of all schools.

The way UT's athletic programs are on fire across the board right now, I wouldn't change anything.

Mustard, chili, onions. That’s as American as it gets. Ketchup? No thanks. That’s reserved for fries or burgers.

Pretty sure thats the most sane take ive ever seen you have on here.

 

[Orangeburst]

We got ourselves a good ole fashioned condiment fight.

Pals way; Gods way.

I was at that game and can say without a doubt that was the worst officiating I’ve ever seen in person. The SEC wanted the BCS bowl money and was simply not going to let us win that game. Plus the nonsense from Kiffin with the 20 plus fake injuries was ridiculous. Actually it’s a miracle that someone didn’t get seriously hurt as that game was criminal. Atmosphere was electric and the SEC literally ruined it.

Yep, I was there as well and agree. I was surpised they let me in there with a bottle of mustard.

Big Nic looks like he’s lost some weight

I want to know how you all had the foresight to take mustard bottles and golf balls into that game?

I still say Frenchs should of somehow capitalized on all that pub..mustardchuker on bottle or something for the South.

Let’s see how JA handles some pressure! That 4-6 weeks would be yuge with the limited time he has before the season starts.

Is Thomas officially in the portal, or is this a play for a bump in pay?

Probably asked for a pay increase and was to no, next step, portal. Need to get used to this type of stuff going forward.
