Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Doesn’t seem to hurt A&M in any way being an adidas school.

No, kidding. I hope Adidas doesn't make us have an all-male trans weirdo yell squad.

They have a lot more money than we do, they can drop bigger bags

Truth

Yep

Just like the brainwashed MJ crowd.

Probably no need to worry about it because within 3-5 years there will be no conferences. Just one big League of 40+ teams ..

I think the conference remain but their structure will be a collection of regional affiliations culminating in a national playoff. You may see the return of the PAC-some #. Northeast and North Midwest- B1G, Southeast and some Southwest -SEC, North West and North Midwest - Small 12, Southwest - PAC-something. ACC will be swallowed and dissolved. Regional playoffs leading to National Final Four.

I think we got a better chance at beating Bama or Georgia than Florida...is that crazy to say?

A few reasons.

1. Georgia is at home
2. Georgia is early, they seem to have most trouble under Kirby early in the year on the road... last year lost at Kentucky and nearly lost at Bama both games in September. 2023 close game at Auburn in September. 2022 close game at Missouri Oct. 1st.
3. Georgia is breaking in a new QB too (I know Gunner is experienced, but just 1 start)

So is the College Sports Commission trying to immediately blow itself up? What kinda of idiotic people are running that mess to think they can straight up say "go against actual state laws or we'll blackball you from our conferences as well as playing against programs in our conferences!"

That's kind of a monopoly they're trying to create...and here I thought college sports would do more to get the federal government out of their business.


Not to mention it would effectively blow up EVERY SINGLE championship playoff/tournament structure.

Not to mention that they will be possibly violating both state and federal laws.

aTm has a storied history despite their money of dropping bigger something elses.

In the Swamp it's not a win, until it happens. I'm optimistic as anyone and I think the youth and confidence of some of the guys we'll be counting on could help a lot with some of these games.

But Florida got better as the year went on and return their QB. Curious how well Lagway plays. I think he's a tad overhyped based on what he actually did... but he's got talent.

The Presidential commission on nil doesn't mean ****. It doesn't carry the weight of law. It was a pat on the head to little Nicky because he was crying.

Yea, I'm not a Political person from now on I will just sit back and let everyone else rant .... I just prefer the games not the political ranting .

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Everybody will be wearing everything anyway. I got Russell gear that is collecting Social Security that I wear sometimes.

I gave my youngest an old pair of cotton Nutmeg Mills TN shorts that I've had forever. They've got an ABC Sports patch on the back of them. They've got to be 35 yrs old.

Made in the USA, baby!

I bet you open carry when grocery shopping.

I have believed all along that this House Settlement is a nothing burger at the end of the day because it is just more litigation waiting to happen. So glad we have an admin that sees what is coming. Watch, other states and schools will be taking the same path.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Yep .... and I always put my buggy in the parking lot cart corral.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Well that new state law also allows universities in TN to pay athletes directly....so they better be cool with whatever brand brings the most money in.

Adidas, Under Armor, Nike, Puma, Reebok, shouldn't matter as the more the university is making off the apparel the more they can pay the athletes.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yep .... and I always put my buggy in the parking lot cart corral.

i'm sure.

after double parking the dually, in fire zone.

 

[MarcoVol]

They have a lot more money than we do, they can drop bigger bags

The whole point of the switch would be to get our money up. Might not put us in their ballpark but the more we have to spend the better, yes?

 

[knoxvol52]

[Weezer]

What helps most in recruiting is whichever apparel brand gives us the most money

Only if that money goes to the kids. If it's not going to the kids, then it's whatever brand they prefer.

 

[Weezer]

I bet @TN-POSSUM has one of those disabled placards hanging from his rearview mirror so he can park closer to the grocery store..

I have actual handicap tags. What's your point? Do you hate disabled people?

It was sarcasm if it offended you I apologize. I deleted the comment.

 

[tnvols72]

If we thought officiating has been bad in the past and if Tn does not comply with comrad Skankey Tn will do well to win any games lol

If they’re going alphabetically, not sure there can even be a next in line.
