Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[marcusluvsvols]

Word on the street is that Brooks is going in with Barnes on opening a car dealership. They are gonna call it "Cheggerboards is a Dipsh!t Motors."

I actually did laugh out loud.

Not sure why people are bitching about Banks when they could be using that energy to bitch about Elarbee and Pope.

Sure seems to be quite a bit of pissing and moaning on this here site lately.


Go buy a new fishing rod, get ready for those crappies to start biting good in March. Enjoy life instead of screaming at the clouds...

It's all the coaches around the globe. When they have better players and coaches under them they look better. Look at Dabo now.

Bro stop it Clemson?….lucky run in a weak conference

My 15yo was showing me some random social media post and because I'm the kind of putz I am, I commented on the frequency of "whoa" being misspelled as "woah".

She wasn't having it. I showed her "whoa" in the dictionary and the lack therein of "woah". She said, "I don't care. Look," and proceeded to show me example after example of online woahs, as if that settled the issue.

That's when I realized she was right, for all practical purposes. In her world accuracy and correctness are negligible crowdsourced assumptions that take precedence over stale old boomer dogmatism. And English being the living language it is, a decade from now "woah" will be shown in the dictionary as an alternate spelling of "whoa".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

...but it will still be wrong.

NOOOOO. Dammit. I know it says projected back but this feels like an ambitious timeline.

Boom?

So yes, boom!!

 

[TrippieRedd]

At least that means we will have Boo, McCoy and Gibson for the 26 season now

 

[UTSuave’]

So when the next DC came in and still had RG on staff….I assume you wouldn’t give them credit either?

And if that DC had a defense worse than 6th? Then what?

And in the same sentence praise him for the turn around he’s made on the front line…crazy work…

Guess the DB portal target makes more sense.

Well isn't that a kick in the scrotum

Brothers and sisters, I am asking that you please take a little time out of your day to think of my daughter's good friend Ellie. She's been friends with her since they were 3 and they are 20 now. Ellie was recently diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma and her PET scan revealed it is already at Stage 4 and has spread to her spine, arm and leg. This young lady has been to my home many times and my daughter has also been to hers. Her family are great people and this is devastating and heartbreaking for all of us. Anything positive you can send will be mightily appreciated. She is at St. Judes, so we know she will get the best care possible. Thank you.

Sorry to hear that. I lost a cousin in the Nashville area to Rhandomyosarcoma several years ago. That is a particularly nasty type of cancer. My cousin had fought it off several times and it just kept coming back.

Sucks but probably the best timing to happen. Hope he’s a quick healer

Thank you everyone

Keep us posted.

No. The best timing would have been sometime last year. He might make it back by Nov or Dec, but he won't be 100% in 2025.

That pose has a 1993 yearbook vibe.....

If it takes him till November or December to make it back something went horribly wrong with his rehab. Most college athletes can make it back between 6-8 months

A flip by whom?

What??? Just doing conditioning work and lifting aren't they?

Probably this guy:

I tore mine from just jumping and landing.

It can happen anytime.

 

[LaagerVol]

Uhh yeah it's insane. And we're talking low 9s, some have reported 8.9 1/4 mile.

STOCK.

Only the Lucid Sapphire may be faster and it comes with over 1,200 HP and 1,400 lb-ft torque, right off the assembly line.

That’s crazy. I remember growing up there was a lot of street racing in my area. Very rural and very little traffic so wasn’t really putting others in danger. Anyway we would all talk about who had the fastest cars. Guys would have like a 72 nova with a 400 small block and we thought it was FAST, then they would go to the track and run an 8.40 1/8th mile

Things have sure changed
