Recruiting Football Talk VII

This is 100% mine!

The why bring up skin color?

I cannot speak for him, but, IMO, he was just stating that he can see why young, black athletes might gravitate more towards Deion than Heup based upon the success Deion had as a player and has had so far as a coach. He is likely a role model for a lot of these kids anyway, so I think that was pretty much it. That, at this point, it is appealing. Obviously, plenty of black athletes admire and want to play for Coach Heupel, too, but Deion is the hot new girl at school right now.

Many great ones from Major league as well. Probably my favorite baseball movie. Going with Serrano.

Gave a Like; but, Eddie was my favorite. My two favorite quotes: "You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?" and "Hey, bartender, Jobu needs a refill!"

Then, after he gets hit with the flying bat, he takes Jobu to the mound for warm-ups.

Thanks for clearing that out.

Makes more sense.

Possibly.

My take is he was simply trying to start ish on here.

I’d rather play for Deion than heupel if I had no connection to Tennessee as a fan. Sorry, just true. Especially if I was a black kid.

Good thing. Hendon Hooker and Jaylen Hyatt were white.
Black kids got no chance playing for a white dude like Huepel

 

[mrMet]

That is one of the trolls. Pay no mind.

Oh I know but typing that made me chuckle a little

If you’re going to talk sh*t, you’d think you could at least spell our coach’s name right

 

[drvenner]

I have stated it before and I'll state it again, there is bias in officiating. One only has to look at the fumble that was clearly shown on replay to be a fumble and they still got it wrong. That is 100% in your face corruption. There are no ways around it.

I used to not believe that it was corruption. That means that the level of incompetence is incomprehensible. I am starting to drift more towards the planned bias instead of just plain old suckage at their job.

I mean I'd think some HS kids would find Deion a bit off putting, since he's 56 and still acts like he did in his 20s.

In his first year at Colorado he absolutely abused the transfer portal and even cut guys he had brought in himself free within weeks (burning their free transfer in the process). At some point regardless of success that will get old I'd think. Talk is cheap so saying he's looking out for the kid's best interest then just tossing them aside as soon as they aren't deemed useful.

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling he's only coaching in college as long as it takes for a NFL owner to give him a shot.

 

[VolLisaLee]

Shut up Lisa

Ok Avatar bet?

 

[Volbucky]

Ok Avatar bet?

Wow risky

 

[drvenner]

Lol

If it is true he did it, that means the victim was between 12-16 years old. If he is guilty, under the damned jail, please.

Lou Brown the manager was da bomb.

 

[mrMet]

Ok Avatar bet?

Yes, I bet they score 31+. Boom

 

[drvenner]

Tennesee can wear a orange checkered thong and a damn Sombrero as long as they win......

No they cannot.

 

[drvenner]

Aaaaand now I have a new Gameday wardrobe.

Dammit @knoxvol52. What is his poor wife gonna do now?

I for sure think small games where it doesn't matter get some pretty bias/**** officials assigned. But I also think part of the bias is the "I'm the authority" mindset and the old ass officials cult is as bad as any for that level of arrogance.

 

[csprig9]

I don’t like UNC but I’m damn sure a Mack brown fan after what he said

The NCAA is a bunch of pu$$ie$

They are a bunch of commies
Can’t even disagree with them without hurting their tiny feelings

That’s not leadership

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

This is 100% mine!

 

[drvenner]

Staff can't close.

 

[drvenner]

That is always a possibility. Now, I have never been at all guilty of that myself.
