Recruiting Football Talk VII

[volsfan_17]

This one definitely hurts them. 2 year starter.

15 transfers and rumors of Raiola about to flip to Nebraska is not a nothingburger!

No pressure of a three peat to hold them there? I wonder if several players wouldn't pursued other opportunities after last season if not for the fact they were back to back Champs trying to 3 peat?

I think certain teams are just loaded at the right positions. For UGA it's LB with Mondon coming back. CJ Allen and Mondon will do just fine. Imagine Creed Humphrey cane available, we wouldn't be a bidder cause if Coop...with that said I would take Dumas-johnson immediately

Not a great time to be a UF fan

I can’t remember them all but just a few:
Dos hombres
Un Momento (their one filtered with mangoes I can enjoy)
Banhez
Del Maguey
Hell I honestly can’t remember the others. I get the notes you mention but the smoke over powers my palette. For the same reasons I can’t drink scotch (even one’s finished in rum casks)

I'll freely admit the romance of the first taste may have defined my palate.

I first tried Mezcal in Mexico, in a little Oaxacan hole-in-the-wall restaurant, eating prawn tlayudas and sipping mezcal as the owner poured across the table and made conversation with my wife and I. Now, realize that both my wife and I spoke pretty broken spanish, and the Oaxacan woman spoke no English. But we all spent so much time working through it so she could tell us the wonders of her country, and we could tell her how much we were falling in love with it.

Don't mean to sidetack too much, but it was pretty amazing. The wife and I got to experience grace and patience like you seldom experience here much anymore, and she got to take pride in a couple of gringos showing delight and love for her country.

It was one of those little post card moments you know will always be a memory.

The citrus, smoke and fire in the belly kind of take me back to that moment, and it's sweet.

OK... TMI for a liquor-snob convo... lol

Click on it and you should be able to see it. That worked for me.

Just have to click through and it works

Not sure even this level of portal defections.... assuming they all leave which I doubt happens...could hurt their depth. They've recruited at an elite level for so many years that it seems they're bulletproof.

Their RB was not last year. They had a walk on in the two deep. TE room got dicey for a bit too.

Have you had Chopin? Broken shed (made with whey)? Reyka? Those are all good for vodkas

You ever tried tvarscki?

Thanks! That worked.

The question next year is Nico x 1000
1. Will he be ready? I think so
2. Can he stay healthy? My biggest concern
3. Do his recievers help him out? My second biggest concern.

Haha fair enough! Experiences definitely change perception. Part of why I love port wine is the experience I had in the Douro valley and Portugal in general. It makes a difference for sure.

I’m dying to go to Jalisco one day for the tequila experience

 

[pierce60]

Anyone looking for a really good bottle at a decent price ($35) you should find this gem.

 

[Jackcrevol]

@Freak chances we can get a separate stickied sports gambling/bourbon/@mrMet thread?

At least get him a badge like @bignewt used to have. 'Gambling Rat' gets to wear it like a badge of honor.

A hot item right now for sure!

Florida is in its own version of the Derek Dooley era with Napier. That fanbase needed to be humbled after the Spurrier/Urban years.

Every fanbase should be humbled at some point during fandom. No program is invincible.

Mike Matthews just went live after bowl practice and boo was there too!

My brother is a wine snob. Says Oregon is at same long/lat as France? Their soil compositions are similar, and therefore support a Pinot grape well? I questioned that because I dont drink enough French wine to compare.

I have had Bordeaux and Pinot Noir in past, but would stop at $40 for a bottle.

I do however, enjoy a Tempranillo or Argentinian wine. Love the spice.

Looked at a few places in Murfreesboro, but finally found it in Smyrna.

Oregon Pinots are good!! They actually have a “Pinot camp” up there every year. Have to be invited to it

I’m still learning a lot about wine though

Italian Pinot Noir’s are good too. My favorite is Monte Degli Angeli Pinot Noir for 14.99 a bottle

I’m finally at a point in life that were I’m encouraging people to enjoy what they enjoy with no shame.

You want a $200 bottle of whatever, have at it!!

You enjoy a $10 bottle of grape bourbon or Boone’s Farm, knock yourself out!

I may not drink it, but you do you and enjoy it!
