Recruiting Football Talk VII

[CAVPUT]

Hey VN...........

I don't do stuff like this, but I know the love and compassion on this forum.

I have to put down my golden lab Phoebe today after 15 years. She truly saved my life during some very difficult life experiences. She has been my best friend since the day I brought her home and will be missed more than anyone can imagine.
Some thoughts and prayer would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

The pain is deep, but the lifetime of love she gave you will give you comfort as time passes. Hard to say goodbye, but you were there for her. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers.

This is from the Big Ten, not the NCAA.

All the SEC did was send Sankey to pull strings in our favor. Still a scumbag and it was only self-serving.

My bad.

November 10, 1928



The Notre Dame football team, inspired by late gridiron star George Gipp and the most famous halftime pep talk in sports history, rallied to upset undefeated Army in front of 85,000 fans at Yankee Stadium on this day in history.

Legendary head coach Knute Rockne's impassioned "Win one for the Gipper" speech echoed through the decades — far beyond the football field — and entered American cultural, political and military lore.

The struggling 1928 Notre Dame squad, newly dubbed the Fighting Irish a year earlier, scored two second-half touchdowns to come from behind and stun the powerful Cadets, 12-6.

Lmao that’s incredible. I need that

I actually agree with this. My opinoins on punishment changed when the Tennessee AG threatened the NCAA to sue if they susupended us.

The best punishment nowadays is scholarship reducitons. The scholarship reductions ought to be tied to the coaches. If Harbaugh and all the coaches stay then a serious reduction in scholarship would be a great punishment. If any of the coaches go to another school then those same scholarship reducitons follow them. So, another school would have to accept a scholarship reduction if they chose to hire one of these coaches.

Yeah, they have more important things to do than that, like making sure teams are not taking pictures for players on unofficial visits. If we know one thing for sure, it's that the NCAA has always been diligent in making sure their priorities are in order.

NCAA always has and always will go after low hanging fruit first over longer investigations, implementations or whatever it is they feel like doing poorly. What you just brought up, is low hanging fruit. Therefore, it was done. This isn’t low hanging fruit. This is something that will likely take a ton of resources and time. I just won’t hold my breath it happens anytime soon, but I hope I’m wrong.

Let me train to be a referee, at least I would call games fair and square..Like you said, I don’t give two s**** about in game betting.And Bama would be called for holding and PI equally as much as we do in games.o

*no offense to those who like to bet on games because my hubby does it himself.

You're hired. Tell Bama Greg Sankey to keep his yap shut.

 

[drvenner]

Not me buddy I'd put it to those Bamers every chance I got. Penalties: Alabama 59-1275, other team 1-5.

The best part of this is that Bama would be averaging 21. 7 yards for each penalty.

I’m curious on how they would do it. The way the NFL does it would cost the NCAA butt loads of money.

Currently, the NFL has a comms employee at every game. They either assign the frequencies to the team or the team picks their frequencies, can’t remember. The employee is then in charge of monitoring the lines and also in charge of turning the comms off at a certain point in the play clock because the helmet mics aren’t allowed to be on the entire time.

There is more into it than that too but just that alone makes the NCAA version much harder. Think about 130+ teams, 60-70 games a week. If they did it exactly how the NFL does it, then that’s dozens of new employees you need to hire, more travel/food/expenses per employee and that’s not even counting equipment, training and whatever else they’d have to pay for. I just don’t think the NCAA can say, “let’s just implement it the way the NFL does.” It’s a lot of money and time. They have it, but let’s be honest, everyone is already predicting their demise. Who knows if they want to take this on when they have more important things going on like battles with congress. That alone is money pit as well.

If they do, it will most likely be a new variation and not the NFL model. That takes time though.

I am not an expert on the logistics but I have been told that it would not be that difficult kinda like encrypted internet and an official like a shot clock operator to cut the signal off and on. It would very hard to hack, similar to online banking. The only way ones banking info is compromised involves nefarious human action aka scams or corrupt people in the chain. Uh oh, I think I just opened a can of worms.

When walking off a penalty against them I would take really big steps.

He continues to steal signs during this "significant" suspension.

FYP

Having teams run their own communications is the way they are probably going to go. I just don’t think they can do the NFL model exactly.

Having teams run their own though just has so many possible entries for exactly what you mention at the end, “human nefarious action.” I don’t think it would be something like tapping in or hacking the line to listen. That’s extremely difficult to do because of encryption.

Id be more worried about something like the home team interfering with the signal to disrupt communications, or the “shot clock” person turning off the comms too early (like the time clock manager for the UK game a couple weeks ago) and things of that nature. If you make it an official running the comms, that’s great, but that then goes back to hiring a bunch more employees by the conference. Maybe that’s the give and take though by the conferences to help it happen.

That’s why the NFL set up theirs the way it is and why it’s the most efficient. They handle the large majority of the gameday operation. NCAA can’t do that, or can’t do it easily, I should say.

How can you tell from the post? Looks like she's using our facility to sell T&A. Bad look.

It’ll die a way slower death than the people obsessing over TV ratings. When you seriously compare the products of baseball vs WOMENS BASKETBALL.

What a beautiful dog. I am really sorry, man. I know that's tough. You got my prayers and my sincerest condolences. Dogs are family.

I think you have to really think critically here. Baseball likely came on when 5 other sports were on.

Id assume that cume was sampled when only other options were 'That's Cake Too,' or 'The Good Witch' marathon on Lifetime.

Either way, I'm going that's cake too.

That is the stupidest show ever. Yet 4 yo and I sit there wide eyed, cant stop looking like 'Is it Cake?'

NCAA is allowing schools to do a test run of helmet communication technology this bowl season. Sounds like they are completely hands off on the implementation though. Them just saying “have at it” next season and allowing teams to set up their own without any oversight though would be a bit concerning to me. I still hope to see it, and have wanted it for a long time, but just do it right. NCAA rarely does though.

So you're hoping for some Pocket Presents from Sally?

One of the dance moms from the studio where my daughter danced has a son whose dad moved into the district just so this kid could play there. Best program in the state, IMO.

I have an idea.

We signal jam Bama's qb, and pipe in soundbytes from Bammer callers on Slimebaum.

Its righteous.

That sucks. My best friend has been gone 4 years now. Seems like yesterday I was bringing him home as a puppy.

Not much anyone can say to make you feel better or make it easier. I'm certain you will meet again.
