Recruiting Football Talk VII

Our Cardinals aren't going to win until Mozeliak and Marmol are gone.

Marmol may be the worst mgr in baseball

No where did I say down with Baptists.

Baylor has done some reprehensible things while claiming to be a Christian based school. I was more bashing Baylor.

Sorry if that was worded to sound like I was bashing Baptists. I was raised Baptist.

It was tongue-in-cheek doc. Just wanted to point out that while lots of forum riff raff made the claim, TCU didn't, and went so far as to mention that Baylor had offered space to house the displaced students.

Is this good?

Dammit, yes, it is.

Fun fact: Your shadow is a confirmation that light has traveled nearly 93 million miles unobstructed, only to be deprived of reaching the ground in the final few feet thanks to you.

Muskies aren't killing the smallmouth. Loads of research on their diet shows they prefer roughfish like redhorses, herrings, young carp, etc. Also, they're being stocked with fingerlings from Tennessee fish. They breed them at the hatcheries in TN and stock them.

Smallmouth are suffering from the introduction of Florida bass both for competition and interbreeding but the TWRA won't admit that because Florida bass are their dirty pleasure. It's my 1 major gripe with the TWRA: how they manage fisheries with introducing non-native species at the detriment to natives to make money. Alabama bass are also causing a problem with this, and they're quick to tell everyone that Alabama bass are the worst thing in the world. Reality is Florida bass are having the same impact, if not worse, because they're dumping millions of them into East TN. The difference is that Florida bass get bigger than Alabama bass and that's all they care about.

You can say goodbye to pure smallmouth in 20-30 years unless they start stocking them by the millions every year to ensure there's pure ones.

Such is the differences told by the guy at the fishing counter vs what is reality

As I said, wasnt sure about the stocking. However, you just brought to light what id feared. Non-natives for $.

And im speaking strictly about rivers, not impoundments. You can tell me Musky dont eat Smallmouth, till youre blue in the face.

All I know is what I see, physically in these rivers where they exist, Musky. Smallmouth numbers are non existent. Used to be able to catch Redeyes and small 10-12" smallies all day long. By the dozen. Not any more.

You can reel in a big guy here and there but numbers of healthy young fish is minimal. Again, this is my exp in Extreme NE TN.

difference between nil, and not. and...tony

Corbin lost his big loophole advantage he had for years with recruiting. He has been getting his comeuppance and will continue to do so.

Battle on Lanier until the bitter end. Apparently he has a G league offer and KY is in the mix.

Ah, a text your buddy comment. Nice.

the olde 'my friends buddy who trains with him' insider status...a tale as old as time.

@knoxvol52

Where will you be (general area) for fishing?

Cosby and for peace and quiet Grassy Fork. Areas have small creeks and truthfully no Game Wardens to be found

For Catfish I usually go to DelRio and fish in French Broad River.

Occasionally I go to Greenbrier.

Have a couple of party friends from years ago that live in Grassy Fork and they let me know when the creeks are stocked. Trout heaven on those days.

 

[Jimmy Football]

It's a Kentucky fan that just made an account on X as well lol. So you just made an account and you just so happen to have a high school friend that knows him lol. Cats fans are in desperation

In my experience, if someone is justifying their information by identifying their “source,” it’s almost always fabricated.

Go home USPS tracking...you're drunk.

“buddy I went to high school with that trains him” is always the best source for recruiting news.

I only cited the response to provide an example that their is a lot of chatter on KY twitter. Any of it being accurate is a different matter. They have made a push. TOS has called it the Lanier sweepstakes, and it seemingly is.

You apparently should just be happy it didn’t get routed through Hamburg, Germany. Well done, USPS!

The game wardens prob stay out of Cosby

Nevermind. Fed Ex is the only way to go. UPS sucks.

I've sold and shipped a lot of golf clubs and had the best luck with USPS. The problem right now is that they have opened this new processing center and shut down four others ones...so everything is going to this one center instead of whichever one is closest to the final destination. They're under-staffed and apparently had little training, so it's creating a bottleneck. If you look at the reviews on Google for USPS Atlanta RPDC, it's full of reviews from truckers saying they have to wait up to 24 hours to be in and out of this place. It's been a cluster all in the name of saving money and being more efficient (LOL) according to Louis DeJoy...the mastermind of this stupid plan. The first RPDC they opened was in Virginia and they had horrible delays there but didn't seem to learn from them. I think one opened in Houston and has been bad as well. Seems like the real plan is to tank USPS.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Impressive year for in state schools in baseball, obviously ut is the #1 team in the country, but you also have apsu, who I think would be a fun post season matchup for ut. And you also have etsu, who is 30-15 currently, and they can score a lot too.

Don't forget about Lipscomb.

They beat the #3 team in the country on the road, and then took the series at Central Arkansas, 2 games to 3.

They do eat smallmouth but not in numbers that makes a difference. Not anymore than people are taking out.

Look at the New River in SW Virginia and West Virginia. It's simultaneously a Top 5 Smallmouth and Top 5 Musky fishery in the south, if not the country for a pure river system. Look at northern rivers with phenomenal smallmouth and musky fishing like the upper Mississippi. The problems with smallmouth in NE TN are not the muskies.

You also have to look at heavy competition with browns. Habitat issues if you've got a bunch of Didymo covering the rocks preventing quality reproduction. Another nonnative eating eggs or something. Because smallmouth and muskies coexist in great numbers and quality all over the country.

Also, this is how I know it's their stance about $$$ and not native fish... they told me. (Pretty sure they deleted the comment after because they got roasted)
