Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TN-POSSUM]

The mob is alive and well. Vegas runs college football.

I guess it was just a coincidence that UNLV was one of the teams.


Get gambling out of college sports. The officiating might get better, especially if their families aren't being held for ransom during the games.

At this point, if Nico doesn't start this place will be miserable Idiot Margin Hell

I am thinking this game is going to REALLY let a lot of people down...there is way too much being expected of this kid right now with the all the opt outs and transfers along with the pressure of this being his first real test under fire, and against a really good, deeply underestimated defense....and IF he does play close to these crazy expectations, the idiots will have freaking insane expectations for next year.


I think if we win, it will be a 20-13 type game....and the Idiot Margin will spew copious amounts of their stupid non-stop all year about Nico being a bust and Heupel on the hot seat if we don't win 8 games.

I cannot begin to express how much I hope he plays up to at least close to those expectations...I am absolutely dreading it if he doesn't.

 

[BucVol98]

The same Cade McNamara that beat out our Joe Milton at UM was the back up at Iomeh? Yeah. I am not worried about this game.

Starter* but yeah me either

 

[knoxvol52]

Tulane isn't very impressive for an 11-2 team..

Tulane isn't very impressive for an 11-2 team..

They lost their coach and many players prior to bowl game

Now, take those exact stats and apply it to 85° heat, getting bumped into, whilst lugging thrice children across the vast expanses of the 'most magical place on Earth.' In 45 years ive once to find anything magical about it. A beer was $13. It was magical when I got home curled up in fetal position and slept.

I used to love taking my 3 kids to Dizney when it was magical and wasn't the ***est place on earth...it really sucks that you didn't enjoy it. My kids always got so excited and it was a joy to see their eyes light up.

I hope my grandson loves it that much when we take him this year, as much as he gets excited for Dollywood I'm sure he will.

He started 5 games before injuring his Knee ,the QB who started the other 7 games just transferred to Utah State ...

You didn't take a flask to Disney? WTF!

Why does it look like AP shot his Christmas card at a haunted house?

This is a thing now. We had our family picture made at the 1st of the summer at a farm and they had a large tree like that. It's the center piece of most of our pictures. I don't understand why.

*My wife ordered a 11" × 14" canvas pic with that same AP family pose. The whole top half of the picture is of the tree. We hung it in the living room, in the same place we had an oversized clock. I'm constantly looking at that picture for the time. The joke around the house......."hey, what time is it?" "It's tree churty".

 

[UTK]

It’s mofo Nico time

 

[UTK]

Oh and iowas defense is inflated due to playing hot trash offenses. Period. Nico gonna dump 40+ on their heads

 

[Jack Burton]

The people here who think iowa is going to get blown out by us are in for a disappointment. Will likely be a 17-14 type game

I think it will be a close one too. At least there’s not a lot of tape on Nico.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This is an enemy commentator (UGA), but he probably brings some of the best film and player evals of any YouTube person in the space. IMO. At 1:21 he talks about the stakes of the UT QB play in our bowl. It is brief snip, but worth a listen. His stance is this may be a harder freshman start than Bama or UGA due to the expertly disguised zone coverage Iowa runs. He says if Nico plays anything other than trash, he'll be calling him potentially the dude. He's had our number in recent years both positive and our negatives, so this is high praise, but also a warning in case Nico has a rough go.

He also made a wise case on why Milton would want no part in facing a stout NFL style defense prior to likely being the talk of the combine.

Some of us already knew that about Iowa...I hope the kid plays well...for that to happen the rest of the offense has to play really well too..no missed blocks, dropped balls and broken routes.

I think these two may be father and son....

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Agree, see the video I posted for an opposing fan base commentator seconding your sentiment. This could be a tough tough game for Nico to have his coming out party.

Yep...like I just said...some of us that pay attention already knew that about Iowa.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Apparently our O-Line is still makeshift as well. Both Dayne Davis and Jackson Lampley projected to start.

Not ideal against a top 10 defense.

We are screwed

 

[Jackcrevol]

You didn't take a flask to Disney? WTF!

I was with little kids. And I dont really drink liquor.

 

[jakez4ut]

We win or we riot

 

[knoxvol52]

Yep...like I just said...some of us that pay attention already knew that about Iowa.

Nico will do fine but I really don't see a 300 yard passing game and 3 touchdowns...

Just as it should be depend on the run with Sampson and Seldon..

I see a low scoring defensive game...

Disney doesnt own rights to Marvel east of MS. Same for Lucas Film, only own partial rights. My sister in law owns a watch and has been 4 times in two years, and was busy planning the next trip while we were there.

There was a pre planned, like it or not, speed walk between rides mentality. No it was not fun. My son is too little to ride big rides, and girls want to do opposite things.

There were things that were cool about it. But mostly the water park at the air bnb yielded most memories.

Never was a fan of Mickey Mouse or any of it. So there is no attachment or sentimentality. Its all about the kids for sure, but its our vacation too. 26,000 steps in a day isnt fun. Its too much.

Next time itll be my family, in December. And we will ride roller coasters, which are amazing. And we will stop and smell the roses.

I did enjoy the MCM ride about the future, in Tomorrow land or whatever.

 

[I4Jay]

I am not concerned about Nico playing up to his talent level.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't know why he would want to go to NFL, VolNation says NFL sucks..

It is sloppy garbage

We'll only get to see him for the 1st half. We'll be up 42-3 @ halftime.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Over or under 225 passing yards for Nico against Iowa.

Under
