Recruiting Football Talk VII

[JT3]

Tillman was a walk-on. You just never know with athletes like this. It's definitely worth the gamble

Tillman wasn't a walk-on. He was a 2 star who committed without visiting the campus.

IMHO, a society needs to be careful when defaulting to punishing the responsible in order to prevent the irresponsible. My hackles always go up with the excuse of "ForTheChildrens" or "If just one life...". Quite often, it's an invitation to give up personal rights based on emotion, as opposed to logic and reason. It's a shortcut debate.

(Note: I'm not necessarily claiming that the purchase of cold beer singles is an inaliable human right.)

I don't disagree with your point in general.

But in this situation, to me, giving someone a ticket for driving under the influence isn't punishing the responsible. Driving under the influence is not being responsible and doing so isn't a personal right.

Oh, and I don't even know what to think about the cold beer, warm beer thing.

I live for the day when Tillman stops getting name dropped in literally every low ranked kids thread.

I didn't think I'd get too excited about the new EA college football game but seeing an official trailer for it made me kinda excited. Guess I never thought it would happen again

Keep on living for that day then

Didn't know that. Appreciate the clarification. Thought he was PWO

 

[Orange_Crush]

He’s got the arm talent just not the mind for it

He has lots of talents.

 

[UTProf]

Today I learned that OSU has an airport. That's just crazy to me.

 

[Batman1948]

That will be one hot (expensive) ticket for a spring game.

Tickets are $10 and $15

Not sure how you interpreted that from my post, but that's OK.

Daggum, I thought the mayonnaise coffee and eating banana peels was stupid and embarrassing.

 

[UTProf]

Oh hell. Haven't read the story yet but that's about as bad as it gets.

 

[UTProf]

How did he not end up at TAMU? Overalls and all.

 

[Plove23]

I was…until they announced only 10,000 fans. Thought we might set a record this year! And was hoping someone’s idea of having it in Nashville might be an alternative because of construction. Are you going?

Im kinda leaning that was as well, and they are charging more . Still undecided

 

[volamite86]

Of course the Titans draft this loser.

 

[Plove23]

First time I’ve ever seen someone other than @Weezer try to be first at the gate slow down buckko 🫷we’ve still got march

Hmm yeah, but UT ain't slowing down putting it out there

 

[Glitch]

Today I learned that OSU has an airport. That's just crazy to me.

My half sister just got a job teaching at OSU. I forgot exactly what she is going to be teaching. Something to do with veterinary sciences. Random story.

 

[Orange_Crush]

If only Nick Saban had stayed at LSU...

 

[Nash_Vol97]

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

And they’re playing. Herring’s struggled at times, but he and Telander were producing really well for young guys. Perry has improved a ton as well.

Yikes. Anyone saying Herring or Perry played well…. Glad they are VFLs but they need replaced asap

 

[Jackcrevol]

dang bjm gone.

ok hoping he'd stay. any insiders have insight into this? is it the ncaa thing? money? seemed like we were finally turning the corner talent wise.

 

[Shadowboxer]

I didn't say the recruiting was bad but it COULD be better. There's no arguing that sorry. Like I said compared to dline and edge the difference in talent is huge. BJM landed dudes that could be studs by 2nd or 3rd year. He has yet to land a dude that can come in and make a sudden impact. It would be nice to have that.

Apparently you totally didnt watch Arion Carter at all.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Jean-Mary got a great package from Michigan, UT made an effort to keep him, but he chased the money. CJH likes to promote from within and he has that option, so UT wasn't going to get in a bidding war in this particular situation. They'll take the buyout and move on.

No his point is valid BJM did good in recruiting LBs but wouldn’t hurt to be better
