Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

My neighbor's 13 year old boy asked me if I have any work for him to make a dollar. He wants to buy a ps5 or whatever the new game system is. I told him I'd give him $250 to pressure wash my decks and privacy fence.

He worked for about 2 or 3 hours when a lady I've never seen before pulls in. She jumped out crying that I have "a 10 year old working out in the summer heat". . . saying that there are businesses that do this type of work and kids shouldn't be doing it. I told her not to worry about it, mind her own business and get the he** out of here. I fully expect her husband to be here any minute crying about how I talked to her. . .

I remember doing this type of work when I was 13. What the heck is wrong with people these days?

ApoE genotype. Check it. We're learning more every day about how ApoE4 affects calcium, cholesterol, heart, brain, cancer, etc. The good news is that diet and supplementation can eliminate most/all of the risk from it, but it's not likely things you would do otherwise.

High cholesterol can be caused by many things, but the gene I mentioned is one cause. And for the record, cholesterol isn't harmful. Inflammation is harmful. Cholesterol can be a symptom of inflammation, but cholesterol is also what the body uses to deal with the damage from inflammation. The real focus shouldn't be cholesterol, but inflammation. Some mainstream docs are now admitting what alternative practitioners have been saying for years. My cardiologist was a straight line "take your statin" guy, but has now changed his mind on most of the "conventional" wisdom. He isn't alone.
Thanks! Never really heard of it but will look into it.

I failed to mention that my previous doctor (and continued by current NP) prescribed me a cholesterol medication, but it isn't a statin. I was told it was not a long term solution but was fine for my age. I've never really had any side affects that I know of.

for those of you negas thinking 7-5 is really possible, do you expect Heupel’s seat to start getting warm then? Because it would be.

8-4 is the floor. 9-3 is what we’ll be. 10-2 the ceiling.
I don't think his seat is really even warm at 7-5. There isn't much he can do to get on a hot seat after this season. If he does it in back to back seasons and it's effecting recruiting too, I think he'll ease up into a pressure cooker. . .

No way is it warm at 7-5. People would be disappointed but you can't just discount how bad the program was in the 10 or 12 years preceding his arrival.

If we were to go 7-5 in 2026 also then people would probably start grumbling, but I still don't think he'd be in any real danger.
 
Practice report from today seems pretty good actually? RB’s being raved on and that’s the lone group we’ve not heard much about yet


(IMO): As I expected from the beginning of this QB race, it’s seeming more likely it will be JA starting, Gmac (the truth) backing up, Merk 3rd
The fact Star Thomas is getting rave reviews is fantastic. Everyone knows Bishop and Lewis are going to produce, so having the third back show so much promise just means we’re about to run the hell out of the ball.
 
Coaching maybe. Bartending at a country club. Maybe adjunct professor. It's so far off I haven't put that much thought into it haha
I like the idea of adjunct professor - or maybe working at a museum or library so I don’t have to deal with people.

And then I’ll volunteer as an asst coach for my grandkids’ sports teams.

That would be the life!

I used to want to grow up and be the Walmart greeter and just smile and hand out a buggie but now they have to get confrontational and check receipts so I’m looking for new retirement opportunities.
 
OU has upgraded substantially at QB and will easily have better weapons on offense.

We haven't come close to beating UGA.

We haven't won at Florida and Alabama since 2003. Its a harder schedule.

3 whole games that have been automatic losses and we have to deal with better QB play from most everyone we play.
Why even play then? Just call it. Lol

Florida is late in the year and their schedule is brutal. Doubt they have lagway by then.

Bama without Milroe and using Ty Simpson. Sorry if that doesn’t scare me.

And UGA at home with Stockton early in the year is the best chance we have had in a while. And anyone saying OU at home instead of a night game in Norman is not easier is crazy. I don’t care about QB. They dominated Bama at home with no QB last year.

Bet that self checkout trend REQUIRED that change. Sadly the honor system is not functional anymore.
 
That's my optimistic hope. He's definitely going to turn the ball over more but hopefully give our guys a chance to go make plays. We have a solid stable of RBs but no Dylan Sampson. I hope someone can be a deep threat like Thornton, but I've yet to see it.
I think Aguilar is likely to make some mistakes, but while Nico’s INT total is low, he fumbled the ball nine times last year. He didn’t lose half of those, but he was pretty darn dangerous with the ball.

Joey will probably turn the ball over more than the average Heupel QB, but coach does such a good job at mitigating those turnovers.
 
Vol nation

Where every opponent is a world beater without playing a snap bc the media told you so.

The home team is automatically ass.
People forget we are almost automatic at home under Heupel. As long as they are not UGA. It’s crazy hard to beat Heupel at home. And I doubt we go 0-3 against the big three. Those are the games we want most and circle every season. Bunch of Betas

People have gone soft. I wouldn’t be worried about her husband. Doubt he is anything to be scared of if that is who he married lol
 
Cliff notes?
Lots to be excited about.

Quarterbacks: "Wink, **** eating grin. I saw it but won't talk about it out of respect for the program and coaches."

=========================================================================

I have a lot of respect for that episode. Unlike the rest of the Knoxville media, he refuses to drive clicks by worry-circle. Also, consider Kyler is one of the VERY few voices out there that actually SAW the scrimmage.

PLEASE, folks. Stop falling for the concern-troll-media. Just wait. Have some hope. We'll see what we have soon enough.

There is nothing wrong with trying to lower cholesterol into a more normal range, provided you don't take it too low or do more damage than you correct by doing so. Cholesterol is 'U' shaped. Too low is just as bad as too high, although low hurts different things. The people pushing statins act like lower is always better....false. Lower to a point, sure. Some statins do lower inflammation though, which might be their real benefit. But fixing heart issues only to cause brain issues isn't very helpful.

But seriously, check it. Very few docs seem to emphasize ApoE genotyping, even though we now know it is the #1 genetic risk factor for dementia and other diseases of old age. The study of what it does in the body has greatly expanded the understanding of how to fight it, not just as applied to dementia, but also heart disease. I've seen these genetics wipe out multiple generations of my family, but I am increasingly confident I can avoid that fate.
