Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Devo182]

That team has the nuttiest moments week after week I swear to god. Iirc we did something similar to Vandy and a few others.

Watching that live was up there with the Clemson smasher last year to save the season...but this one is TOPS.

Sat morning on Live From The Masters, they were talking about the fairways at Augusta almost always giving you a sidehill lie as a right-hander, with the ball above your feet. Makes it much harder for a flatter swinger like RMac.

Every player has side hill lies. That's just an excuse. I doubt you'd ever hear Rory say that. He doesn't seem to make excuses, and I respect that.

 

[Devo182]

I guess Ky is back now?

I mean, when the only bullet point on your resume is "have won big...y'know...as a player" I guess this is all you've got.

Can't blame him. But he's in an impossible situation. Way out of his league with how much better coaching has gotten in the SEC. 3 years max. And he's probably an ok dude, but he won't last long with those nutjobs...and with Ricky Badass sending you to your room twice a year...

DUBAR first in the bball boat


EDIT with link:

Moar, do NOT let up !

side hill lies. sounds like a cheezy 80's cop drama.

Someone called Kiffin the P.T. Barnum of the SEC.

I can get behind that statement. Lane constantly proves that there's a sucker born every minute.

Heard an amazing "Coffee House" cover of Hall and Oates's Rich Girl today on sirius.

But after "you can rely on the old man's money" she followed up with "...old man honey". Is that the real lyric? If not, a genius mixup of the lyrics imo.

Old Man Honey...I'll have to remember that when I'm 95, sadly widowed, and trying to bag a 92 year old Coach Caldwell.

 

[Jackcrevol]

How the hayull did that team not win a Championship? Fahr TV ! Homeruns are fake! Pimp jackets give Sampson strength! Tennessee commands the wind!

...taking a lap.

I'm assuming you're referencing Hill Street Blues.

Side Hill Lies, could also be a grainy drama about 4 50 something divorcees, and their crazy hijinks about town.

Barnes is definitely looking for more offense in this cycle.

He knows he can preach defense but that only goes so far. Need dudes to get buckets. Dubar fits that criteria.

Actually…….flatter swing helps with the ball above your feet

How did Kentucky move up 14 spots in 12 days? Went from 17 to 8 to 3.

People finally giving them some respect and leaving preseason expectations behind. In B2B weeks they swept ranked Ole Miss on the road and then ranked Alabama on the road.

The opposite of UF, which took voters far too long to turn on.

Well deserved rise imo. 14-1 in the toughest league in America is impressive. As are road sweeps against ranked opponents.

Its the new game. Well, its new for Rick.

I finished off episode 1 and made it 10mins into 2,

This is a family site, sir!

 

[Devo182]

So who are we getting at RB from the portal? For sure need 1 but do we go for 2?

If we land a legit 3-deep guy, I wouldn't see the reason for another.

Seldon is expected to return afaik.

Heck, our running scheme is so good we could probably plug a walk-on in as a 3rd rb. They just need to be capable of blocking.

 

[Devo182]

I just hope some of the Vols fans don't set dubar to high for the young man.

New Dad Joke rankings:

#1 @knoxvol52 (1 for 1 - 100%)
