Mea culpa, I've been watching WW2 documentaries lately and the phrase is frequently used.

There's a feature where you can have your phone or computer replace particular phrases with other phrases. Let's think of some interesting replacements for "tide"! You can program your phone with the best result!

Here, we can judge our creative ideas against three common phrases with "tide" in them:

Phrase 1: "a rising tide lifts all boats" (a phrase which would be perfectly fine if it weren't for Bama)
Phrase 2: "the turning tide of war" (ditto)
Phrase 3: "the tide fan married his sister" (the most oft-used of all three phrases)

Now if we replace "tide" with "pachyderm", let's see:

"a rising pachyderm lifts all boats" ... that could be true if the boats were on a river safari in Africa. Otherwise, meh.
"the turning pachyderm of war" ... nope. doesn't work.
"the pachyderm fan married his sister" ... that one actually works perfectly.

So we'll give "pachyderm" a 1.5 out of 3. Let's try to find better.

How about "sewer water"?

"rising sewer water lifts all boats" ... well, maybe, but why are the boats in the sewage canals?
"the turning sewer water of war" ... war ain't fun, but this makes no sense.
"the sewer water fan married his sister" ... again, works well.

But that means "sewer water" only scores a 1 out of 3. Need to keep looking.

Time to think outside the box. How about "arsehole"?

"a rising arsehole lifts all boats" ... that makes no real sense, but sounds hilarious when thinking about Bama fans.
"the turning arsehole of war" ... I actually knew that guy, back when I was on active duty.
"the arsehole fan married his sister" ... wow, this works not only for Bama fans, but Auburn fans, too! And in a pinch, could be applied to Gators.

So this is a very good result. That's at least a 2.5 out of 3.

Can someone come up with a perfect 3 for 3 solution? For science! And for unfrozenman's phone!

Go Vols!

Based on this assessment, this guy is the full package. Sounds a lot like the honey badger who was originally a 3-star player. It makes you wonder what he is missing to still only be a 3-star. Possibly elite speed but the other strengths minimize that. I will have to look at his film.

According to some recruiting his speed is what made Georgia offer and he is a 4 star on some recruiting services

Good info. I was trying to figure out the rating with the high level attributes. Like I said, maybe weight could be one. Hopefully he'll get in the program and get in that 195lb range.

Welcome to Big Orange County

 

[njvols]

Big win on the recruiting trail...good offer sheet. Seems we're likely destined for a good class in top 15...would really like to see us add another 5* or two or more 4* talent. We're recruiting above our "on the field status" right now, but if we put another good product on the field this Fall, I'd expect likewise good results after all's said and done w/ this class.

 

[wmcovol]

Great! Congrats, Mr Gibson.

 

[Pride85]

So what does the write up look like for a four or five star?

Who cares? Don't sell this kid short just because you are a star child. This is an article about our commit.

 

[jeff1vol]

We get a stud recruit and drop to 5th in the SEC. Unreal.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Mea culpa, I've been watching WW2 documentaries lately and the phrase is frequently used.

Some other good WWII phrases we Vol fans can use the next few years….
Blitzkrieg
Overlord
Schwerpunkt
Sturm
Bombardment
….
And my favorite, from the Battle of the Bulge, the reply when the Germans demanded the American defenders of Bastogne surrender…..
NUTS

 

[jakeaaal]

He's a 6 foot corner and didn't I read somewhere he runs a 4.3? This is the best DB class I remeber

Way to small at 171 lb. When he shows up he will 5' 9'' and 163. Some reason he is a 3 star .

Heupel to Saban Oct 15……

Good offer list. Any time we can beat out Ga, Aub. PnSt, Ark we are doing good. Someone in a previous blog said he runs a 4.3, at 6ft. Will be a 4* soon.

That’s what I thought too. Can always put weight on them, but can’t coach speed!

Did anyone see this commit coming? Seems to come from out of nowhere.

 

[MSME Vol]

Must have missed my point lol. I was saying that if he gets a glowing review like that as a three star, then would him having another star make it any more glowing? I think not. Glad we got this one no matter what the services say.

Honestly I don't generally care how many stars any one player has, but history does show that it is easier to win with more stars overall.

Watched his highlights. The kid is FAST

 

[joevol33]

Boom

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

Heup just beat Kirby for a DB! Are you kidding me? This is awesome. Heup gonna own the East in 2 years.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Stars typically mean nothing, but offer lists do and this kid was recruited by our biggest rivals. I bet he gets a 4th star before the end of his Senior season!
