Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I honestly think the league managed not to screw this up. An unexpected development.

It can still get ugly. We'll still have 6 of the other 12 teams which will have a chance to give you a more difficult schedule than others. May get Florida, Bama , Georgia and Oklahoma same year , just hopefully they will be fair to everyone.

If everything were hunky dory, you asked for evidence—this is it, then why in the world would Danny White do something as drastic as call for collective bargaining? The evidence is that there are lot of people in very high positions in college football who are scrambling to find a fix.

No offense, but that's pretty unconvincing evidence. ADs want more money for their institutions. That's really their primary goal, and their secondary goal.

If there is an objective expert out there who is sounding the alarm on the demise of college football, I'd listen. But as much as I like DW, he is far, far from objective. This new system is causing boosters who previously donated money directly to the university to donate directly to players or NIL funds, which means a significant decrease in funds going directly to the university. That's what DW is concerned about, not the demise of college football or a decline in its health.

I wish we had oil baron money. Texas Tech buying a Georgia-level roster after 1-2 more years of this…

Well it didn’t work out for Jimbo and A&M

It's kinda looking like that for 2028/2029. I would imagine UF, UGA, and OU won't be on the schedule next year or 2027, but they all may rotate back on in 2028.

At the same time, I don't think any team is going to avoid playing at least 5-6 tough SEC opponents annually.

A likely 16-team future playoff paired with a 9-game conference slate is going to mean SEC playoff teams will either be absurdly battle-tested or absurdly injured, especially if they don't get a first-round bye. SEC Championship game probably dies under a 16-team playoff.

I think we are going to move to a 16 team playoff

So you will have 6 Big10 teams at 10-2 and 2 sec teams at 10-2…..ND will be in every year, 2 ACC and 2 Big12 and.….4 SEC teams total and 1 little league.

Aguilar is on pace to throw 12ints. The number seems very insignificant when you consider how the ints happened. I don't mind 12 ints if they are all as meaningless as they have been.

That’s what I been saying for months. A long interception down field taking a shot at a Bomb is no different than punt.

Music to my ears.

Saturday Down South still looks foolish sourcing a parody account. Lots of people guessed what Richard did. He launders his account that way. Whoever runs that account is really clever. And notice he doesn't have a blue check. He isn't being paid to tweet. If he was wrong no one would be concerned. it's a parody account. He's wrong all the time often times on purpose.

Am I the only one that thinks this and accounts like it are stupid? It’s not even satire and never funny. The only point is to dupe people. It brings no value and I’m about to ignore posters who bring it over.

I find it absolutely hilarious but I understand what it is and what it isn't. Sometimes it can be really funny. What irritates me is how often people quote it like a legitimate source when it's regularly wrong on purpose.

I really don’t find it funny at all. If it was satire, I get it. That account in particular just reads the message boards and posts the most likely outcomes. I just don’t see the humor in it I guess.

I stopped finding it funny when someone lost their job for trying to call the account out

I told my pastor the next morning I needed marriage counseling, or him pray the Georgia out of my wife. He's a Georgia fan, didn't help me

Switch churches

 

[crazyguy]

All of this talk of difficult schedules….

Y’all- THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE is the team people don’t want to see on their schedule in the future. We are the sound that goes bump in the night. It’s time for our glorious revenge.

V,B forever.

Does this rumor that Shedeur Sanders told the Ravens not to draft him because he didn't want to backup Lamar smell fishy to anyone else? He's third string right now behind Joe Flacco. Even if Joe isn't the guy, there was a guy drafted ahead of him the team has more invested into.

I agree. It's like a middle school level of juvenile humor. The kind of people who enjoy it seem to be the same people who make fart noises with their armpits and giggle about it. I just don't get how people like stuff like that.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Wow,

What did it say?

 

[TN-POSSUM]

You're acting like this moron's prediction of Bama, Vandy and Kentucky is ground breaking news. This was the consensus opinion of VolNation (and pretty much everyone else) over a year ago.

Will you, or anyone else, show me on the doll where RGW hurt you.....

*He's been right several times and normally calls it before anyone else. I don't know why he bothers you so much. He's fun and I don't see the problem in what he posts or any of our insiders post.



I know it's kind of a mean spirited post from me, but I've been wanting to use this meme again.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Nobody really gets a cakewalk. Honestly I'd take ours over most of the others.

It really boils down to whether you get two blue bloods or just one. Glad Danny was able to work the magic to only get one.

 

[volfaninpa]

Holy cow!

 

[jave36]

The bit about the refs from the OU game was perfect. "I'm sure the conference will have them right back out there blowing all manner of calls soon."

 

[Mullins2010]

Holy cow!

Steven Pearl time lol

 

[Adam Sandler]

Post has since been removed it seems but a couple of things stand out to me:

Auburn doesn’t have lsu or Florida as a permanent rival and instead has Vandy.

Alabama gets miss st instead of lsu.

Ole miss and Oklahoma seems like an odd pairing to me.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

What did it say?

It was a post reporting App St old coach who was at UCF had some sort of medical emergency he had passed.
