Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Ulysees E. McGill]

FIL passed this morning at around 3 am. He is at peace. Grateful he didn't linger but terribly sad to have lost him. Thank you all for your prayers. Still a long way to go in this valley of grief and loss but our heavenly Father will sustain and comfort us.

Continuing to pray for you as well @UTProf.

Oh man..sorry for your loss..

I ll take the qb bet. I think Aguilar will outperform what Nico gave us last season. He was a below average qb. We need a little luck and the defense to be above average for us to equal/eclipse last season.

Ofc I'd never bet against any of our players (bad karma ) but if JA ends up higher in QBR rankings in the SEC (assuming Nico didn't improve over last year):


Top- 6 (63rd percentile) in all games

And/or

Top-5 (69th percentile) vs only SEC opponents

...then we'll be coasting this year for sure. 9-3 locked in. I'm here for it. Love the confidence, Beast. Lfg

More importantly beat out by Will Brooks I believe!!!!

Will Brooks isn’t gonna make the 53 but I think they may keep him on practice squad

What’s a good season in your eyes

7-5 book it.

PSA for the RF:

*There's no way we go 7-5. I'd be severely disappointed with 8-4 and that'd probably mean we lost several key starters on offense, (mainly with the o-line), but 7-5 would mean something catastrophic happened. I don't see it. I think 9-3 is realistic but 10-2 or 11-1 is highly possible. By the time Friday rolls around I'll be .

 

[Devo182]

I’ll honestly be disappointed and surprised if we don’t win by 17+

Spread is 13.5.

7-5 or worse is pegged at 1 out of 6 times by the models out there so far.

8-4 or worse is roughly 40% of the time.

I do think 7-5 would be disappointing. 8-4 isn't that unlikely at all.

That said, Hype tends to exceed expectations. Can we do it again with such a rebuild or will it be another 2023 season? Just hopefully not a 2021.

Did you hear about the scientist that successfully grew human vocal cords from stem cells in his lab?

The results speak for themselves.

Personally, I think we need to get through the first SEC game before we start deciding who needs to be fired....

Fired? Yes

Fahr’d? I’m already ready to fire the special teams coach and I can’t remember who replaced Ek.

@peaygolf's in an "unskinny bop" kind of mood today.

A little more context, this was at a wrestling show in California last night. Raja Jackson is not wrestler. Raja and the guy he assaulted had a little feud going on that became personal. The wrestler involved apologized to Raja several times for letting go to far and apologized to him in Person before show. The plan was for Raja to run in the ring and do a double leg takedown and then throw a few fake punches but ended up slamming the guy and knocking him out and then threw like 20 real punches at him while he was unconscious.

For those who watched wrestling during the attitude era or are life long wrestling fans. The promotion is ran by former wrestler Rikishi.

I never cleared all my old gear so I'm already partly loaded.

I have 3 Adidas football jerseys. 1 nike, but it’s the Reggie White jersey and that’s not going anywhere. And 1 nike baseball jersey.

I mainly wear the jerseys when I’m skiing

Same here. I’m planning to be sh*t faced by halftime up 27-3.

LMAO at the characterization of this year's team being a rebuild.

WTH are you watching?

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Exactly how I feel. Likely top 15 in money spent on a roster and we have people saying it’s ok for 7-5. Yikes

This is the most talented team Heup has had. We lack depth at receiver and safety but we’re pretty solid every where else.

 

[Jackcrevol]

The Chinese Taipei starting pitcher can throw 83 mph.

The Chinese Taipei, is that the pushy sumbitch who is uber competitive, always talking trash?! or a copperhead?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

You're making to much sense. Most these guys think we are going to win every game, every year. You're not allowed to bring up the fact that we have struggled at CB WR and OL recruiting and development. Any great organization cuts dead weight. If we get a shot to hire an upgrade at any of these positions at the end of this year, we should.

If per chance you mean me,

Well then yes, yes I do. If it doesn’t happen I also don’t lose my mind.

Just so we’re clear

17-0

The nipples were out that week fo sho ..........Honestly........it was like a dream.....and a real good one too.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

In my experience, you should be OK if you stab them in soft spots, away from a lot of bone. (Come to think of it, you should be a SME on that.)

Oh I know where to insert the blade. Damascus holds an edge pretty well.
