Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I raise you one. South Mississippi in summer. There’s a reason why all those crossroads deals happened in Mississippi. Satan lives here. Nothing like 98 degrees with 90% humidity that makes it feel like 110 degrees.
I lived in Meridian for a few years as a kid. Dad was stationed at the NAS there. Fun days.
 
Had a best friend from Starkville back 20 years ago, been there with him visiting his family. I can confirm, Satan indeed lives in Mississippi during the summer.

I did an industrial firefighting class down there in middle of summer many many years ago when I was a pipeline operator. Wearing that gear and fighting a fake ruptured gas pipe on fire..it was hot.
 
Can confirm. Hot, moist, and nary a breeze. Would wear the old Converse sneakers and asphalt would burn your feet through your shoe. Schools didn't have A/C. Even at home, Dad wouldn't run the A/C at night to save a buck. Occasionally you'd get a slight breeze and for 5 seconds it would be 'cool'. Good times.

Parris Island, South Carolina from May to August (actually into October).
Hell on earth.

Was good to me. 🤣 All seriousness, nothing but respect. Could hear the rifle range behind me as we scouted for Cobia.

Ive hiked im backcountry there. It is not what most people think. It's up and down, and hot. As hell.

Area between there and backcountry in Beaufort is some of the most beautiful ive ever seen. It is remote. It is teeming with wildlife.

Wish the US would make it a National Park.

Think it would behoove them to make a memorial for USMC there also.

Just depends on the athlete’s age, but guys can certainly return to form from an Achilles injury. Durant has. Dominique Wilkins did. Others have, too. Just a long road for recovery.
Kobe did at the end of his career. Hard workers with that different mentality.

It is a paradise, if you're not a recruit.
I went back in October of 2009 to see my nephew graduate.
Even in October it was insanely hot and unbearably humid.

I absolutely guarantee it. It's got to be the elevation, and heat off the foliage. People dont realize its hilly out there. Cant imagine running in that ****.
 
Try wearing FR rated clothing in middle Georgia during the summer, its like wearing a long sleeve wool suit. Now during winter its nice, I rarely ever wear a jacket.
I bought a long-sleeve FR Carhartt "t-shirt" this past winter (online clearance). I really like the weight of it but there's no way I'm wearing that thing past March. It's like a sweatshirt
 
Anybody else have a relative who at every birthday party asks…

ā€œwhere did you get the cakeā€ as they are eating it.

And every year, you say Walmart or Food City.

And they act totally shocked by this statement.As if they can’t believe it is possible.

Except they say the same thing 3 times a year for the last 20 years.

Just me that experiences this?

Carhart wears a little heavier than Ariat to me so that's what I wear.......but I have worn Carhart in the past. No matter what brand, I have to wear a cotton t shirt or the shirts are scratchy and so uncomfortable.

Does it make you want to …..Smash
 
Use your prognostication skills to tell me when this "tear" is supposed to begin. Next week? The week after that? How bout the week after that?
#it's only june

we usually get the bulk of our commits in june or july. if not then it's in s different month between january and december
 
There are teams with full classes already.

I think if Wyatt goes to Andy. something is up. And frankly, I think he ends up there.

It does seem like something is off with recruiting, there's no reason we should ever be at 41, even though Oregon and Alabna are right there.

It is the same song and dance. Kids love their OV's, go elsehwhere.
