Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

My nephew played a team sponsored by a former commodewhore….. they wore those same hideous uniforms and this past weekend my son played in a tournament with a team that was called the commodewhores that wore black and gold from South Carolina.

Fify

The color guy was a former Commodewhore.

Once a Commodewhore, always a Commodewhore

They're supposedly "tamper proof" stickers. They're not supposed to just come off.

I personally don't think they were ever put on by Vandy, and I said that last night. I think it was "gamesmanship" on behalf of Corbin. TV said multiple times, "I've never heard of stickers coming off, but somehow we managed to have 3 more bats without new stickers." And he said all the bats were inspected by Vandy on Thursday.

What would provoke the catcher to inspect the sticker after a huge hit like that? And there's been series with Vandy where Corbin, iirc, has requested multiple bat checks.

That is not "gamesmanship" it is pure dishonorable cheating..

So someone help me understand the sticker situation.

We give them our bats and they give us theirs?
We test and sticker their bats, and they test and sticker ours? And they're "tamper-proof" stickers. They don't just "fall off."

If that's the case, I wonder if Vandy purposefully didn't sticker a couple of bats, betting we wouldn't notice. Said, "Hey all good!" Then instructed the catcher to check bats after big plays in hopes of getting one back.

Beck said the sticker was on his bat but he saw it fly off during batting practice and he didn't think much about it since it had been inspected. They'll know better next time

I think "Anchor Down" is stupid. If the anchor is down, you're not going anywhere, you're stuck in the same place. I would've, at least, went with "Anchor Away", if I were dead set on incorporating anchor.

The Navy would not like…..how about Anchos Awaaaaaaay

You obviously don't talk TV with millennials.

The whole lot of them are pretentious little s...They have become a "trope".

So I know someone that has tried to join this site and have not been granted permission to post or like… anyone know why that would be?

Back in the day, there was a grace period before you could start a post but I don't remember what it involved. I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday though

The leader in HRs for all of last year was Arkansas with 109. That was 4 better than the runner-up, or about 4% better.

So far this year we lead the NCAA with 66. Second best only has 50, for a +16 margin. That also puts us 32% ahead of the next best team.

I get why opponents are skeptical when one team is that far ahead of the pack. I just hope we increase our lead even more and break all the damn NCAA records while they're in shock...they'll never realize they may just be watching one of the greatest teams in history.

Oh, and our #1 ERA is also 20% lower than the 2nd best pitching staff...

Just arrest the whole dang team

 

[Batman1948]

I can only imagine the swagger Vitello’s squad is gonna have tomorrow night. You know they’ll have some fun with the stickers. Maybe after every run a player slaps a sticker on the bulletin board in the dugout

They should just put a bunch of stickers on their batting helmets just to piss off everybody

This is the guy last week who said they weren't trying and guaranteed a win

Y'all quit cutting up. I'm only here for the scrimmage notes.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

For real,,, I'm embarrassed for them

It invites mockery and aggression...it has to be the most beta moniker out there.

Corbin would unearth some old bylaw from 100 years ago that said it was illegal.

UT needs to promote the hell out of this and sell all kinds of merchandise from tee shirts to mugs. They could make a small fortune

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

My take, he was a gambling addict, and there is no evidence he ever bet against his own team, and I believe from his effort that he bet only for his team to win every night and played as such.
He did not inject performance enhancing drugs into his body.
One seems forgivable, and one does not

We are impying some measure of being morally incorrupt before we can recognize someone was great at their craft. In this case the greatest

Except that's a fallacy. He was never the greatest. He's a guy who played too long so he could break a record. At the end he was a singles hitter that was more a detriment to his team than an asset. But he still inserted himself into the lineup (remember, he was a player-coach at the end). That's not greatness, that's selfishness. And he broke the one rule in baseball that holds a very clear punishment. It's his own fault but he still refuses to own up to his mistake.

Cheat and still get that butt whooped while looking like male goth cAndy stripers.

 

[Batman1948]

Yeah, I smell a rat. Tony said he never had anything like that happen before. And Beck said give me a wooden bat, I can hit with that too.

Beck is gonna have a bunch of wooden bats where he's headed

 

[tnvols72]

Watch him inspect that bat after reaching home plate

Git sum

I still think Lipcius said something to the ump as he was rounding 2nd. I hope he said check that bat

 

[Volsdeep4]

Never

 

[Batman1948]

Completely agree. They’re a hermit kingdom.

Kingdom and Candy----that's an oxymoron. Never use those two words in the same sentence

Except your kids, right?

"Vandy Boys" sounds like a gay porn movie title.

Candy Boys. . . eek
