Recruiting Football Talk VIII

The SEC is using the men’s tournament to showcase the incompetence of their referees. Power move

Tundra? I just picked up a '25 Tundra last week. How has it treated you?

Sure is. Got a low-mileage ‘22 platinum. Loving it so far. Very comfortable for the family and great long-distance traveler.

Have the same sticker on my wife's Cherokee and we both run a tri star plate. I cannot have enough tri star.......wife's a Georgian but she understands my state pride. She loves Tennessee, was a big Pat Summit fan before we met, always loved the lady vols.

Now on the front and the trailer hitch I went Power T. But the Tri Star is the one I’m most proud of.

"Reds"

Should be named the Tennessee Miners. That way we can have the Oilers and Miners.

Moonshiners or Rum Runners

Tiger Woods is 22 years old in 97/98, and he was still small in 2000.

You comparing Tiger in ‘07 & ‘18 is like comparing Bonds in ‘00 & ‘06 - they had both already swollen.

The gymnastics to give Tiger Woods (of all people) the “benefit of the doubt”… is just astonishing.

And the size discrepancy is just one aspect…
There’s that whole hanging out with HGH Docs too…

You brought up the year- not me. Tiger's birthdate is in December, so at the 1997 Masters, he was barely 21. I don't relate a 28 year old Tiger to a 40 year old Bonds.

I don't care about gymnastics, and I don't care about people disagreeing.

In 1997, Tiger was 21 years old. If you look at side by sides of Lebron James from 20 years old and 10 years later, you see a big difference. Part of that is natural aging and body composition.

Barry Bonds' body changed when he was 35 years old.

Like I said, this isn't a big deal to me.

Hey now. I'd be fine with having the body that I had at 22.

 

[Brillovol]

Got it right before the tariff war. Now I've got two gas guzzling full size 4x4 trucks because 'Merika.

Meant to say the gas mileage is pretty good. Tested it out on a trip to Knoxville and got over 22 MPG. It’s closer to 19-20 if I speed up to around 80 MPH. Around town more like 16-17 MPG. And it’s not a hybrid.

Another nail in the conference tournaments coffins.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Yeah we are just south of ATL and not looking forward to this. It’s gonna hit us in the middle of the night Saturday. We already have plans to take everything into the basement and sleep there.

I'm north of ATL just off 400 on Lake Lanier. Storms usually weaken a lot before they get to us, but it looks like there's going to be some unusually strong dynamics available to keep the threat going. I'll be up late watching everything while the family sleeps. We might have a slight threat Saturday morning too, so I'll be up early checking on that.

Maybe I just don't know shizz about how tough it is to swing a gold club a bunch....but Tiger getting hurt like he does blows my mind. Imagine if he played a real sport? Sheesh. Dude would be in a wheelchair.

Very nice plate, truck ain't bad either. I to went power T for the hitch and a cws national championship plate frame.

It is chunk not chuck. A chuck is a kinda gopher or groundhog.

I couldn’t get my old plate frame to fit unfortunately. The license plate area is kinda restrained.

Yeah, it should be better than my Nissan Titan but my wife has been driving the Tundra. I probably average around 17 mpg and get up to 19 mpg on the Titan. So far the Tundra shows an average of 13.8 mpg and my wife claims she's taking it easy. I'm not sure she knows what that means. It's still on its first tank of gas, so it will probably get better after it has about 1200 miles on it. It's not a hybrid...I got a great deal on an SR5 with the TRD Rally package that has everything I would need and the panoramic view cameras so hopefully my wife doesn't hit stuff in parking lots.

Huge blow to golf. Tiger woods has been golf for 2 decades. He presided over golf's golden age. He brought more fans to golf than anyone ever. Heck he even drew my wife's attention and interest, I came home from work one Friday and caught her watching the Masters.

He drew a lot of ladies… and heck his wife even started golfing.. she was just a little confused about whether to hit a golf ball or golfer.

Yeah it should get better once broken in. I’m getting over 500 miles to a tank of gas. Mine is a 4WD and has added weight from the moonroof, etc. Of course, it’s also likely this is your wife…

21-22 is pretty much full grown. It’s why Sr football players generally look bigger than Fr football players.

His body changed dramatically. But I get it - he was out there training with ST6.

Of course people can disagree. I just find blind nostalgia as a reason to be odd.

Athletes bodies breaking down later on is another sign. Happened to Bonds too.

21 as a golfer is not like 21 as a football player. Plus, football players in college look different than 25 years old in the NFL.

You can't tell me that Lebron James doesn't look different from 20/21 to 29/30. He just did.

Sure, Tiger bulked up. Maybe he took steroids. But he was fascinated with military-type training, and he did some things that he enjoyed but weren't conducive to minimizing injury.

Barry Bonds did it late in life, and it was overtly obvious. I don't find them to be the exact same. So what?

AI is soo dumb.


Chuck

Chunk

Next question...

 

[gordonr24]

It helps that I work for the state now. Tri star for life. Also looks great on my truck.

That’s a beautiful sticker. I’m looking to get the front license plate for that as well.

I also own a navy blue Tri-star hat that I wear on American holidays and for casual settings too. I got that from Volunteer Traditions.

Bonds is believed to have started somewhere around age 32/33 - he was still in his prime and was not some old man.

I just find the continued defense of Tiger Woods to be fascinating.

-He’s running with HGH doctors and trainers
-He’s associating with known users
-He’s doing both at the time HGH is huge
-He bulks up considerably
-He proceeds to go supernova
-He’s believed by ~70% of PGA to be dirty
-He develops a hyperactive sex drive
-He succumbs to his body breaking down
-He is a known liar and cheater

Anyone of those ^ can be explained away and dismissed on its own. But taken together in their totality, it is pretty damning.
