Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Weezer]

Guess we have to get our laughs in against Florida in the off-season considering how it goes in the actual game.

 

[BearCat204]

Are we still going by avg star rating since every team ahead of us and at least 5 behind us have higher avg star rating, or have we decided we like our point-based #14 ranking better?

Yes

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I noticed their average star rating is higher with four less commits. Seems like I read a bunch of posts somewhere about how that is a sign of a superior class. Maybe I dreamed it.

 

[jave36]

Yeah they lost, Hurts screwed the Pooch Monday Night....

But they should win Division can't see them losing any of last 3 games....

If you can lose to the hawks with Drew lock, you can lose one of the last 3.

 

[UTProf]

Yeah...well...maybe. Some of you gals hog the console.

Hehe. Multiple consoles, gadgets and PCs, ftw!

I knew a husband and wife team that did raids/trials together. You could tell they were in the same room because when one of them would use push to talk and unmute their microphone we'd get an echo effect because the other one was a tank so their mic was live at all times. They were funny as hell tho when one of them screwed up (which wasn't very often but they could tease each other way worse than you'd get from other teammates). Actually, I've been surprised by the number of couples that do dungeons and raids together. It's def. a thing now but then again the average gamer these days is something like 35 years old (and that's with the wee'uns pulling the average down quite a bit).

Surprisingly, I've met a lot of boomer gamers in various online games too. Now that many are retired they're more visible online and gaming in their mid and late 70s! I hope I have the dexterity and mental capacity to do that when I'm that age.

They will be lucky to go 4-8 next year.

Sucks that they have all their easiest game right before us. Was hoping we'd play them after UGA and texas beat up on them.

You're going to get people riled up and throwing chairs. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

I am a (young) boomer gamer. Wife, not so much.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Another thing... Look at the total commits for some of the programs around us... More than a couple well over 25.. some over 30.

Rating wise.... This is a really good class...

Yes

That's awesome. One thing about online gaming that I've enjoyed is getting to talk to people from all ages and backgrounds. Because we don't see each others faces and often don't even have voice chat when we first meet someone in a game, we don't bring many preconceived ideas to it. It's been nice to make friends with people from very different backgrounds and age groups and hear what they have to say. I love my single player games but the social aspect of online games brings a lot to the table as long as the community doesn't develop overly toxic habits.

Something like that.

This is certainly an intriguing two deep.
Wouldn’t mind a little more veteran help from the portal for oline and secondary.

OL? That might be our most veteran group besides DL.

High Freeze is both a garbage man and coach.

LOS League..gives me lots of optimism

I know that. Actually. I want one replaced on that starting oline but didn’t want to be mean and single him out.

Were they really that good this year though? Returning veterans is nice, but they weren't all that amazing. A couple individuals, sure, but as a unit they weren't a championship level OL.

They were plagued by injuries all year, no?

I don't know about all year. They were definitely better with Cooper than without. But at their best I never thought "ya these guys are good enough to take us all the way."

Their average is 0.31pts above ours, and they'll likely have to fill the rest of their class with 2-3* guys since they lost so many guys. Their total points is 8.5 below ours. That average and total difference is virtually nothing.

News flash, their class was better than ours yesterday. Their class has been better than ours this entire cycle, and today that gap closed. Your choice to be miserable.

 

[BearCat204]

Really hope they teach some of these big NIL earning kids financial management skills.....................................I am not going to hold my breath lol

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Kinda frustrates me that Auburn is able to bring in a top 8 class when they were putrid this year and got steamrolled at home by New Mexico State.

I'm am good with it, as long as they take Ga and Bama down a couple of notches.

Nice car, must've worked hard for it....
