Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[kong]

I bet a large portion of fans pi$$ing and moaning about price increases never attend games. They're probably band wagon fans who just complain about what they hear or read in a forum.

Yep. Ticket price increase is such a small factor for me. The real cost of going to a game is dealing with the traffic afterwards lol

YOur Pirates got them a star in making in draft in 2024 . Young Konnor Griffin is doing get in minors and projected to make MLB team in 2027 but some are saying as early as next season

F everybody but Tennessee. LFG!



Best edit yet. Now if someone would have the balls to cut Butch out, it would be perfect. Gives Berry’s return due credit, too.

Jake Fromm was the 44th ranked overall player in his class, bad example.

I don’t care what Fromm’s star ranking was. I watched that guy play for three years and saw an average QB playing on an NFL roster against college kids. No different than McElroy, McCarron, etc.

Here's a hot take:
The refs we're right in the Purdue game

Cool story.

My post and point was that Kirby's QBs are rarely "elite" any damn way...only 4 have been top 100 prospects and of those 4 only Fromm and Eason even played for him a full year.

August 20, 1945

Tommy Brown becomes the youngest player to hit a MLB HR.
Something Ryan Williams never did as a 17 yr old......................


During WWII, many MLB players served in the war, which gave several teenagers opportunities to move up to the majors.

Tommy Brown was called up to the Brooklyn Dodgers as a 16 year old in 1944. He hit .162 in 46 games. Brown started the 1945 season back in the minors, but in July, he was called back up to the Dodgers where he would be their starting Shortstop for the remainder of the season.

On August 20, Brown hit his first HR of his career in a 11-1 loss against the Pirates. He became the youngest player to ever hit a Home Run in a major league baseball game (17 years).

Yes siree, by the time I add up the expense of going to and being at the game, tickets are a fraction. Food, drinks, lodging for a late game (we drag our camper), and miscellaneous and sundry purchases > cost of admission.

@butchna

You think Cowboys hire a real GM after Jerry passes away or does Stephen take over?

I want to remind all you morans that I was solely responsible for the karma whiplash that day. Flashback sequence: I was at the house for that game and my wife invited one of her friends and her obnoxious idiot of a husband. He knew jack and squat about football and really didn't watch the game but constantly made stupid comments and said he wanted Georgia to win.
Everytime he left the room good things would happen for Tennessee, when he came back we would suck. He was talking smack when that Eason chick threw the late td. He stepped outside to get a drink from the cooler on the porch before the last play. I locked his azz out. The Dobbnail Boot happens and everyone loses their shite, he's outside looking in through the window on the door like a fool. It was glorious.

I’m not really sure why you’re trying to disagree with me. It seems like we said the same thing.

Georgia was so much better than most everybody else during that stretch. Heck they won with that epileptic hobbit Stetson Bennett.

*I'm not saying Aguilar can't lead the VOLS to another double digit win season. I would love for him too. I'm just being cautious about my enthusiasm for the QB positionthis season. I was all in on Nico winning the Heisman after we went to the ETSU game last season. I was wrong. We got to SEC play and Nico played scared. I'm not crowning Joey Aguilar "the best QB sincre Hendon Hooker" until I see him in SEC play. That's fair on my part. Wasn't Guaranto the Gatorade Player of the Year or an Under Armour All American or something like that? He didn't live up to our expectations. I know the coaches he had were subpar but a lot of it was on himself.

Imo the first part of your assessment is perfectly fair and reasonable, given he hasn’t played a down for us yet. However, to then flip it and say he is Guarantano, is unfair and unreasonable…. Given he hasn’t played a down for us yet.

 

[peaygolf]

Seeing Joey A with #6.................I have flashbacks to Jimmy Streater (My favorite Vol)

 

[DD4ME]

I know it doesn't matter to many or even to wins, but I like that Joey was comfortable speaking on his faith.

I agree with this sentiment.

Too much work. Just do cloud seeding to block the rays over downtown.

Could launch Operation Dark Storm to black out the sky. Positive side effect would be to potentially kill all the robots which are dependent on solar power. Negative side effect would be if they figured out a way to use electric activity in human brains as an alternative power source. Of course, in that scenario we could choose the blue pill in which case Vols are 17-0 every year from now on!!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

We did, I was just pointing out that Fromm wasn't a walk-on game manager like Bennett. Despite how average he ended up being out of HS he was highly rated.

Let’s hope this year “time out management” has improved ….I’ve had to replace so many remotes that’s my only issue with him outside of the offense being asleep the last two years.

Anger management

Gunner definitely has the least ability out of all of them. No idea how he was a 4 star.
