Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Adam Sandler]

Going win National Championship this upcoming season....that's what the smile is about...

Can we get basketball, baseball, and football all in one year? The 2024 seasons could be special!

It says immediately take them down, which means drop your weight and drag them, not throw them sideways. The dragging down is what causes injury, not throwing someone to the side. The intent of the rule was when Roy Williams tackled Terrell Owens that way.

So you’re interpreting and deriving meaning from language not present? Give me a break. It was a horsecollar in the word of the rule and in nature. It was a dangerous tackling by way of grabbing the back of the collar. Period.

Yah. I didn't see the word "immediately" in the rule, as linked.

"Abrupt" != Immediately.

I saw some clips, but never heard what happened here. Seems like the YouCon players showed some disrespect pre-game warmups?

They were just saying their pre-game prayers.

What's he going to say? "Well, our guys got their asses handed to them and lost by almost 60 points. Also, they brought it on themselves by being disrespectful and mouthy. The loss would have been easier if our guys had at least handled themselves with class."

Or: "Let's not talk about the score. Our guys are classy (and their shower hygiene is first rate)!"

It’s not so much that..but it’s the fact this is his second statement about it not to mention it’s been almost a week since he took the L…move on bro..like don’t you have a different opponent this Saturday to prepare for?

 

[Adam Sandler]

I have this thought. It’s a foreign concept here on volnation, but just hear me out. It’s possible, stay with me now, it’s POSSIBLE to have a difference of opinion and discuss it without calling someone a blind idiot or getting upset about it. Just a thought.

The lady decided she was going to download DraftKings and use their promo of bet $5, get $200 free in bets. So 8 $25 bets. Her first bet you ask? Freaking ridiculous $25->$1100

The most annoying part (besides her rubbing it in my face) is she had to be the only person in America to bet in Presbyterian

The beers are on her tonight

When you play the victim card you get to coach at UCONN.

I just don't see how you can invade the other team's side of the field during warm ups and say you acted with class.

 

[Chuckie]

Correct
It is really cool to experience though. I’ve lived in Thailand before and fed the elephants sugar cane with my daughter when she was little. One of the earliest memories she recalls from her childhood.

Yeah, I can see how being fed to an elephant would be pretty memorable

I understand what you you mean. What you would see in stills are the key moments I described in my text, so you would know how to look for what I am looking at; then you would need to go back to the video (of course) and consider it in motion.

But you've persuaded me that since this LSU issue is like a speck of sand compared to the vast ocean of officials' calls and no-calls that amounted in fact and in effect to rigging in our Bama game (regardless of "backstory"), it is better to let the LSU game go.

I can tell from this still that Bama's first TD against us should have been called back and a penalty assessed from the spot of foul. Or at least know what to look for when I rewatch the play.

I agree with your conclusion, but that still does not prove anything. If he put his arm there only for an instant and it didn't impede the defender's progress, it's not holding.

Now I've seen this live, so I know it was indeed hioldng, but to TG's point, you usually can't conclude anything from stills.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Tell me UGA isn't scared

For EVERYONE who argued with me about the tightrope surgery recovery timeline and insisted ther was no way Bowers would be back for the game against us, and here they are talking about him being back the game before us?!

To be fair, they were arguing based on what happened with Tilman.

Come on man. The still makes it look better than it was, Right in front of the White Hat and nothing. And if his arm was there it is holding, I don't care how long.

I argued that he would not be healed in a month and he's not. Tua came back in month and was not the same. Brock will be in pain and not able to do some things.

Just curious, did you include the cupcake games? I am assuming yes, and that does have an impact. Still, the numbers are tell.

Well the greatest distortion introduced by official statistics is that they explicitly exclude the fact and effect of Birmingham officials completely taking over our games in the second half at FL; and pretty much the entire game at Bama -- but likely setting an all-time NCAA record for rigging in the second half.

Now understanding the clear example that Birmingham set and taught in the rigging at Bama, KY imitated Bama in having it's OL hold every down until they were stopped; but the no-calls never ended. That distorted those stats, too, even if we managed to beat the zebras and Lube U simultaneously.

But I'm still looking forward to whatever things @Nash_Vol97's number crunching brings to light.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I went to my doctor today and he reported that I was color blind. I was not expecting that at all. I mean, that really came right out of the purple.

I just deleted that part of the text before I saw your response because it was a distraction. Honestly. You will see in the first paragraph that I speak of using a still as a marker (together with what one has pointed out in speech) as something to look for in the video. That's how I use and advise others to use stills.

You are correct that what I wrongly thought was a mere distraction in my tacking on the still of the hold on Baron was also incorrect, as you state, because I didn't repeat my own caveat about referring to the video and overstated my point. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks, I hate it.

Their offense may be more limited by trying to get him to play when he’s not ready versus just playing his backup. Plus he may get injured worse. Not a smart move by whoever his guiding him in his decisions.

 

[Glitch]

Never gave any time of day to flat earth believers but today I heard the most compelling argument. Someone explained to me that the world is covered by 70% uncarbonated water. Therefore, the earth is flat.

If the water were carbonated, would it change things significantly?

Kind of makes our ridiculing Kentucky football by saying “let’s go Krogering” kind of moot now.

Nothing renders our ridiculing of Lube U football moot. Nothing.

Yeah I'm fully prepared to eat crow, but it's not happening.

I'm guessing they are making a run for the first playoff game.

Cam Rising was a game time decision against Florida, according to the national media. Dude is still hurt and the season is damn near over. I think this has just been an exceptional year as far as people playing silly games with injury timelines.
