Recruiting Football Talk VII

funny thing i wasn’t arguing Mookie versus Acuna either LOL

No you were arguing analytics vs real stats. I called them snake oil and you mocked the term with a devastating gif.

Glad you’ve seen the light

But seriously, I’ve been Acuna for a while now. He’s the better player this year.

My man he's better period and I'm a fan of Mookie. Ronnie was 3 bags from a 40/40 in his 2nd season. I'd say you haven't seen his last 40/40. Which is ridiculous to think about.

Late in the week. Thinking UT 41-20. Two RBs go over 100 yards and Milton is efficient enough.

Go watch the SC/MSU game from last week and tell me Joe won't throw all over them.

Don’t forget:

4. Have the refs make a couple of drive ending calls/no calls.

5. An away game with a crowd loud enough to disrupt communication.

yeah can the refs please avoid screwing us for at least one freaking week?

Doering isn’t feeling us right now.

Well Doering sucks, so...

Geoff Collins on SEC This Morning basically said that SEC coaches have figured out how to stop Heupel’s offense and what UF did is the blueprint.

I think it has more to do with our current talent but I guess we’re going to find out as the season progresses.

So, is the blueprint having the refs kick a set ball on a key 3rd and short, not call a blatant PI in the redzone, and throw a flag for a phantom crack back block?

I would say that’s not a repeatable blueprint, but it is SEC refs, soooooo…..

Real stats yes I agree who cares about WAR ...but if everyone is saying use WAR then Ohtani better than all ....

Fact check:

Dear baby Jesus,

Please let the refs call a fair game and not screw us for the fourth week in a row...

I’m tired of hearing that the OL is an issue, because it is not. (Outside of the Ollie Lane false starts)

The OL has no help from Milton, defenses do not fear him and are pinning their ears back and making him throw under pressure which he is awful at. Until he shows teams that he will hit his check downs, it is going to make our OL look bad. (Our OL looked bad when Milton started before until HH took over and then our OL looked elite)

Once he shows he isn’t afraid to hit the 10-15yd completion instead of the 30-40+ throw, teams will have to respect him. But as of now, teams do not respect him and they continue to pin their ears back and make our OL look like they are struggling.

Dr. Joe passed away today. He was such an ambassador for the Tennessee system and he loved athletics. He truly got the idea of athletics being the front porch and the need for alignment and empowerment. What a duo of athletic force he was along with Dough Dickey. The work of those two had most of the SEC chasing Tennessee in men's and women's athletics.

I personally hate commercials at the Movie Theater. I paid money to watch a movie and now I'm stuck watching awful commercials before the show.

We used to get some woody woodpecker and road runner before the feature presentation. Good ol' days indeed.

Hot take. You can’t say OL isn’t an issue when UF had 5-6 guys in the box, and we had 5-6 guys blocking and we can’t win the 1 on 1s. That’s OL being a massive issue

Another subject...this Leopold being up for MSU job eeeh...I would stay at Kansas with Oklahoma and Texas leaving Big 12.. Kansas should be a top dog in conference every year...only competition should be Oklahoma State...you know grass isn't always GREENER on other side...

Gabe Kapler fired at San Francisco...as a Dodger fan I hate to hear that

You don't really like the way lettuce tastes on your burger, you just use it to block the tomato from making your bun soggy?

 

[JohnnyD1024]

 

[knoxvol52]

That’s not what WAR is.

The replacement player is always the same. It shows you how much better the actual player is… vs the replacement.

It’s the best overall stat in all of Baseball. It’s definitely the best stat for comparing players across different eras.

Odds Boone and Showalter both get fired this off-season...?

He’s clearly better… This year. He might be better next year, too. We’ll see.

Mookie’s season in ‘18 was silly. His ‘16 was pretty damn good too.
But he’s regressed defensively, his glove isn’t worth what it once was.

Acuna’s bat is mighty valuable.

Iceberg or Leaf Lettuce???

Take nobody. Kick out SC , Mizz, Texas, Oklahoma, A&M, and Arky and be done

This doctor get it.

Don’t put nasty ass tomato in your burger. Problem solved.

And it leaves more room for cheese and bacon.

 

[Devo182]

Forget umpires at this point. The zone can cover balls and strikes and they can use technology on check swings. Plays at bags can also be covered by sensors or instant replay. This is the last part of the equation where smart people will dominate baseball and the old guard can’t buy influence anymore.

Yup.

Humans aren't made for calling spatial judgements that fast and small.

Most can hardly drive well.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Iceberg or Leaf Lettuce???

Doesn't matter as long as it covers most of the bun. .

Oh no idea. I’d rather see Cashman go than Boone.

I don’t particularly care for Boone.
But I effing hate Brian Cashman.
