Recruiting Football Talk VII

After 20 years, you get used to it

USA couldn’t even win 1 match out of 8.

And up 2 with 2 to go and choked it away.

Yikes.

 

[Orange.]

This play will always anger me.

That's why the troll posted it. Don't be played.

The thing that irritates me the most about this game if Mays and Small don't get hurt, I think we win.

Right.

Also, if the SEC Office officials don't take Baron's touchdown off the board when there were absolutely no grounds to do so, we win. And without the crooked "spot," we win. A lot of rigging in that game.

Also, as has been noted, if Till had caught that pass in the endzone.

People who clutch at that last play are ignorant and ill-willed. It's the mark of someone who understands little and hates a lot.

 

[Volnut]

Saban obviously studied the film when we beat him and embarrassed above all his DBs, when DBs are his personal coaching specialty. He decided ending the clock rule would be much to our detriment and rig results in his favor. So he had the old rule killed and made a new to his favor.

He seems to have thought he couldn't outcoach Heupel. And breaking rules with impunity had always been the key to his success; but it was not enough to make him look sufficiently better than he is against us. He knew he could scapegoat his coordinators and his dumb fans would buy it. But that wasn't enough.

So he needed to use one of his top "unlevel playing field" unfair advantages: to throw rules out and to change the rules pretty much whenever he wants.

This and that Power T playbook on top of his desk in the Twitter post earlier in this thread indicate we are living full time in Sabey's head.

How many plays per game are we averaging on offense this year? Points per play? Would be interesting to see if they are similar to last year.

As I said, the point is not to try to suggest that this year's offense has been as good. That would be silly.

It's a point exclusively about the illusion that almost all of us have had that our tempo is slower this year.

It’s a theory. Steals as an aggregate have gone up and shouldn’t go backwards, but 100+ steals over the course of a WHOLE SEASON is an INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT which requires a perfect storm I don’t see happening. Problem with analytics is they were invented to explore possible advantages not readily apparent and they’ve become conjured gobbledygook for some wanting to appear smarter than others. If I need an algorithm to determine if one player is superior to another and disregard my regular peepers looking at ACTUAL STATS? I veer more towards real vs snake oil science…jmo.

Ronald Acuna has established a significant spread over Mookie Betts in oWAR

Acuna - 8.2
Betts - 7.6

 

[Billy Antrim]

He won't put uo a lot of points if his banged up offensive line can't block and has a bunch or presnap penalties.

The injury report from Beamer was mostly fake news. Jakai Moore was the only starter missing practice a few days ago, but he should be back. As you can see from their latest depth chart, all their starters are good to go.

#52 OT Jaylen Nichols is the only returning starter from last year who is supposedly out long-term.

I was at the Mississippi game. Great game including throwing Mustard on the field.

Me too. I only wish my throw of the golf ball was a little more accurate.

Call me a fish box to my face and see what happens.

[Vol423]

Definitely think we are going to roll with the bend don’t break method. Give me stuff between the 30s and don’t give up td’s

That would be a really stupid move considering South Carolina's weakness is its offensive line and our defensive strength is our pass rush. We should be playing their WR's tight to take away the short throws. Rattler will then be forced to hold the ball longer waiting for WR's to get open. That allows our pass rush to break down their weak offensive line and get sacks.

FIFY.

You’re preaching to the choir

Our fans knew we were being jobbed by Birmingham's crew.

 

[Orange_Crush]

I’ll go with what Jack said. B+ on the surface… maybe better or worse depending on field results

That's the weird thing. Giving a grade before the test. <shrug>

 

[Batman1948]

That’s the Grove at Ole Miss - daughter went there so I’ve been to a few of those!

But you knew you weren't tailgating----right?

 

[Orange.]

Samesee, my son played both sides of the ball. Offensive line and DL. He used to tell me all teams played dirty. Sorta like ‘what stays in Vegas’….backwards I know, but I’m tired. When you see a pileup, there’s a lot of eye gouging, subtle punches and hits that will make a man ‘sing high notes’. Sorta like that picture we’ve seen of a UT player
untying a Florida player’s shoe strings. That sorta stuff.

Edit: should’ve added, the twisting of ankle does happen.

To'o To'o was caught on camera twice doing this stuff to Hooker fairly blatantly last year.

 

[Vol423]

I posted this in the Ryder Cup thread on the Volnation generic Sports Forum early this morning during the first session (Foursomes).

Caught some exclusive footage of the US team during Foursomes play to kick off the Ryder Cup in Rome.

 

[Batman1948]

I would love to see video of him watching Harper…..I will bet he was not even watching the pitch. He needs to be removed…..he is a disgrace to umpires. Every game he does stuff like this. Reminds me of TV Teddy.

He can't be fired; he's considered a minority. It's like a professor having tenure.

I'm interested to see if the announcers will repeat Beamer's fake spiel, and if so, how many times.

 

[Jack Burton]

You assume he will play well by assuming their offensive line, that has major issues and lots of injuries, can play well and our dline doesn’t play well

He’s used to playing in that collapsing pocket. We will really have to get after him to disrupt and prevent rhythm. If he gets settled and starts making quick completions it will take the crowd out of it too. We need some early sacks and false starts.

 

[Batman1948]

Anybody that was here for two whole bouts of #grumors has put in their work (self five). Congrats on 12 years!

Those were the best time I've ever had on here. Loved me some grumors. The airport watch was classic
This site was going a mile a minute and everyone was eating it up

And keep contain on the edges.

He’s been sacked 16 times this year against UNC, UGA, MSST. Uga’s dline is the only one better really. I think the boys up front eat

This amazes me...

I must be an alien, cause I don't have that body part
