Recruiting Football Talk VII

I don't particularly like them, but they have the best history of most any team since 1999.
Yeah and it drives the kitties crazy. Them and all the other elitist blueblood fans just caaaant stand it. That's why Hurley rubbed it in their faces.

Fans of blue blood college basketball teams might be worse than any college football fanbase.

College football has Bama as the most bandwagon elitist fanbase

College basketball has 5 of them in Duke, UNC, Kansas and Kentucky.
 
As some of you may know I used to run a rescue for farm animals. Due to the economy and unfortunate circumstances we've had to scale back. We still care for many special needs and hospice cases but we just can't take in new cases

I post all that to update you on one of our original goats, the herd queen for many years who presented with cancer about a year and a half ago. We knew her time would come but were so encouraged by her flight and will. She's had an open cancerous wound on her female parts that we've successfully managed for the duration.

She slowed down some over the past 4 months but her spirits were high, she loved her hay and fig newtons and animal crackers. Spent time with her youngest daughter...... But then she started presenting with loose stool. No big deal we just clean her and treat her....... Let her spend it the remainder of her days with her daughter who is due to give birth any day............. Until Monday night she was much weaker. Tuesday afternoon I went to clean her up again and noticed my worst fears.......fly strike. They had invaded her body........ There was only one thing left to do.

We filled her full of her favorite Fig Newton, animal crackers and alfalfa hay that night. And again I'm the morning. Then took her to the vet to release her peacefully.......

I'm posting a picture of her here when we first took over the farm about 6 years ago, she was in her prime as herd queen........ Scratching her belly on something as she often did....... Rest easy Bertha! We called her Big B.......... We will look after your daughter and her babies...... We wish you could have met them!

You're a good man.
 
Someone posted the Kerbyson summary that they looked light and not feared. It is accurate i have also read positive reports on Pili. I summarized in my mind as meh. Not a standout group, but hopefully not a liability. The d line should cover a lot of flaws anyway.
Ok I read that summary and he also said "I didn't get to see the starters" lol

Got burned buying a used 19 Honda. The 6 speed Transmission is screwed, but there’s no codes. Dealer doesn’t believe my evidence on video clips and the techs said it shifts fine. It’s still in Powertrain warranty. All BS.

The good news is that Carvana is offering me a little more than what I paid for it several months ago. I’m getting out from under it. Not gonna fight it. Really disappointed in Honda and the dealership for trying to get out of warranty work.
Maybe it was a Random Act of Unhelpfulness.

God’s work. Bless you and others who do more than the rest.
 
Happy Thursday

April 11, 2024: If you want to grow spiritually, you must walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh, and you must take action by positioning yourself to do so. Decide to take every thought captive by controlling your thought life in order to be led by the Spirit of the Lord. Romans 8:5-6 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
 
The concern of Aidoo, Awaka and now Mashack is well warranted over in Basketball Forum. 3 of the 4 core players for next year could possibly be leaving. Still I believe Mashack stays but the meltdown is legit.

Imagine if Nico said he was entering the Portal or James Pierce. Good grief this forum would fall all to pieces.

Respectfully, DK didn't enter the portal to leave us. We obtained DK in the portal. Apples to apples, and big Oranges to big Oranges. ZZ is not leaving. I don't want to say this is more like TB (because there is no history of disgruntlement), but does it more resemble that in other respects than anything else on the football side?

It's going to be OK. I think we were caught by surprise over there a bit this year, but that won't happen again. Evidentally, the tampering was massive and during the season, which of course is fine by the NCAA. I think the only person they've ever hit for tampering in all of sports iirc (and in the extremely minor case of a player visiting after informal proof of grades were obtained, but before the official transcript arrived :rolleyes:) was Vitello. We're going to have to pony up to retain who we want to keep or attempt to more than replace what we lose (we don't know yet).

It is upsetting. I concede that. But let's see if we end up.

You have your right to believe what you want, so do I.

Have a good day.

Whether everyone wants to believe it or not , everybody tampers some just do it better than others.

Only thing I was saying it is a big deal for next year when you bring a bunch of portal players in and try to get them to mesh together.

A Knecht isn't walking into the gym every year through the portal .

Yesterday, AP on Josh and swain said to expect a commitment within 10-14 days.

Any speculation on who?

My guess would be Cameron Sparks. I can’t immediately think of anyone else that might be close.

He said on the Tuesday pod that Jaelyn Matthews was “one to watch” during his upcoming visit, but on J&S yesterday just said he was a May/June decision.

So… Sparks or 🤷‍♂️

I added to my response (above) to clarify.

I didn't say we would get a Knecht every year. I was saying that a Nico or Pierce more resembles a Knecht than these guys. High first round picks. I added the case of Baron as a better if not perfect comparison, imo. I agree with you that the possible effect on the culture if they all go is a concern. We'll just have to see.

Didn't mean it to sound personal. I do apologize if it did.

I would fight Honda, but the Carvana offer is more than what I paid for it. There’s no check engine lightw and Carvana doesn’t do anything as far as inspecting vehicles.
Get out while you can... You can't fight the big boys... Had a friend take Ford all the way to court you can't beat them. Truck would just downshift while going down the road. They estimated 5400 to fix it and still under warranty.
