Recruiting Football Talk VII

[volbeast33]

Likely unpopular opinion, but I don’t care.

I never liked Bobby Knight and never had respect for his coaching style and inflated ego. Just not for one for the drill sergeant style of beating and cussing players into submission. By contrast, Josh Heupel, Rick Barnes, and Tony Vitello are precisely the types of coaches who not only pull the most out of their players, but earn respect in the right way.

Going back further, Pat Summitt was a tougher coach, but those players always knew she loved them and wanted the best for them, and they loved and respected her because of it.

Barnes, Vitello and Heup have a long way to go to match what Knight accomplished…. His players went to him bc they wanted to be coached in that style. They(not all) adored and respected the man… Knight was also known for how much he loved and supported all his former players. His players took on his persona and were some of the most physically and mentally tough teams in the country.

With the rangers winning the world series. Does Tennessee need to change their 3rd-4th music to dad rock?

Bring Creed back. They can take us higher.

Wow, that pic really shows just how much weight Wright has put on. I heard the other night that he went from 188 to 215. Incredible!

He's blowing throw arm tackles left and right this year. Night and day difference in power from when he got here.

HEY, at least I didn’t start on you guys drinking sodas. Do you really want me to roll up my sleeves and give y’all nutritional advice? Because I can do it, if I’m pushed .

Eat breakfast like a king
Eat lunch like a queen
Eat dinner like a pauper

If you get your calories during the day in that order, easy way to lose weight.

What’s the occasion? Did your dodgeball team on ESPN 8 “the ocho” cover?

With the cold weather, just was wanting a nice little pour before dinner.

That was a solid joke though

He poorly formatted the tweet that holds the story.

Leading with the amount of live ball penalties called on UT causes the majority of people that just glance at the tweet to think that is the story. A lot of them are continuing on with their day, or responding before seeing the stat that actually matters—one live ball penalty called on our opponents in three games / zero the last 11 quarters.

The average person has very, very poor reading comprehension, so you have to spoon feed more.

Russell’s 10…always a good daily go-to. But personally, you can get rid of the glencairn. Hate those things.

Used to be Noah’s Mill as one of my go-to‘s until the price crept up.

New Riff Single Barrel @ $50 is my new favorite go-to. If you haven’t had it…give it a try. Still have a Russell’s 10 in the house though.

New riff is awesome. You should try their Malted Rye if you can ever find it. Best thing they have. Usually around 67.99 or so

I was half joking, half. In seriousness, If you don't think the SEC and the other major conference do not protect their cash cows you are a fool. T.V. ratings and gambling revenues are the drivers, follow the money. Cash cows draw eyeballs and are the vehicles for sucker bets.
Forget the officials and the leagues, what about the clock change rules. The original line was player safety, fewer snaps, shorten the games. One of those is true, fewer snaps. Are the games shorter? Still noon, 3:30, and 7:00 kicks. The rule targeted tempo teams, they are a threat to the status quo and are wildly unpredictable. I will wager that the the rule was drafted on the third Sunday of October 2022.

How are they allowed to do this without punishment? At the very least it should be a fine, if not a penalty.

This is how things like that Mich v MSU fight last year happen.

Seriously..March is a crap shoot..the eventual champion isn't the best team ..luck of the draw...as far as CRB goes this will be his most talented team .....the Grant Williams team were a load of 3 star players that fit well into Barnes style of play.....let's see how he does with this talent rich team before judging...

How’d this pan out, Kentucky?

What a bunch of punks and the Stoops is a punk for allowing it.

I like Alter Bridge better, which is Creed reincarnated. Blackbird is the best, but this or Rise Today would be the best stadium song…

 

[rikberry31]

Wtf? lol. UK trying so hard to be tough. Doing that **** is just asking for a fight to break out. Shoot, it almost did.. Spraggins was ready to throw down.

Should have just bowled over one of those idiots. What are they going to say? I stood in their way when they tried to run onto the field and they ran me over? Duh, that’s what happens MF.

I think it was more of statement that most of the players acted like they didn't care. "Get outta my way little boy."

Same trolling dude who posted this was set to be unveiled a few weeks back.

Have the players wear those checkerboard overalls with the jerseys.
It will help our opponents get better with holding our DL and the DPI…

Wright really is a hard worker, year round. We are fortunate to have him. Small has always set a great example. And Sampson is very motivated, too. What a great RB room with more in the offing! Hoping to see Cam and Keith this week.

Didn't State just fire a coach over inappropriate behavior with a woman?

Speaking of things regularly disappearing from twitter, here's the video of Meyers with his hands on her bottom in the bar. (Formerly trending on twitter.) O, wait.

I did find a short edit of it embedded in a local news story from Jacksonville. (This is a screen shot.)

Perfect for Michigan State?
