Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jackcrevol]

The Italy team is really good. Never underestimate the Germany team though usually very competitive.

My buddies and I usually have a pool (for bragging rights, or beer. No money).

Germany and England are who I worry about. And of course Luxembourg.

Man the interwerbz are littered with mad FSU trolls...Oh the fact that we're supposedly cheaters amd prepare to hear about the Burke check swing that they thought should have been an stike to end it(I mean it kinda should have) lmfao but who cares but it's gonna be discusses at nauseum either way but nice to not be on the screwed side for once

To be fair, we would’ve been doing the same thing.

Don’t listen to em. Orange Beach is a good little spot

Bunch of morans

I hate my job—all I do is crush cans all day. It’s soda pressing

Just liking this because it’s Father’s Day. Otherwise:

Just had a wolf spider in here. Sent it back to hell from whence it came.

Before I got a divorce my wife and I were having a late dinner and she said " we need to make home improvements" "I said I think so as well, any ideas what we should improve"
She replies " you moving out would be a major improvement "

FSU is low key very hateable I've realized.

Nederlands is my team (in an Euro Comp).

There is something orange I like about them...

What I find wild, FSU fans have 1 call in the entire game to complain about.

How many for the Vols? Hell Combs had an entire inning where his zone was the size of a tuna can.

You lose after getting a 6 spot in the third it’s not about 1 check swing.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Do they play Dortmund?

Dusseldorf, it's the one day in calendar year where water replaces beer in the miles long beer pipeline under the city.

that's actually pretty fair analysis

Combs was getting squeezed bad but running that mouth towards umpire didn't help the situation either.

 

[SmokinBob]

This will be something I’ll be monitoring. We’re now #7 all time and climbing fast. Probably be #6 by the end of lunch.

Wow LSU - 68,888

I mean the ump was damn patient, ironic it was FSU’s pitching that smashed his nads.

Letter to the FSU fans crying:

Both teams made mistakes to give the game away and made plays to win the game. Both teams made multiple errors defensively. Chalk it up to the clay, grass, or nerves. Blake Burke mistakes made up 4-5 runs for FSU alone. FSU mistakes gave UT 2-3 and cost FSU 1 at least. You can't whine over the ifs and buts, that's part of the game that 1 team overcomes to win and the other doesn't.

A single call doesn't decide a ball game. At the end of the day, FSU shouldn't have even been pitching to Blake Burke. FSU had 5 chances to get 3 outs through the bottom of the Vols' order before Burke walked up including walking a pinch hitter showing a bunt in 5 pitches. Had enough pitches to Burke to end the game before the checked swing. Had multiple pitches after. After surrendering the tying run, FSU had 2 more batters they could've retired to go to extra innings and couldn't. At the end of the day, 1 call didn't decide the game. Tennessee outhit FSU 18-13 and made those hits count. FSU's aces did all they could but still couldn't contain Tennessee's offense. At the end of the day, that's what it came down to.

Well said.

Salamander racing was a favorite of mine.


I had 2 rules about the creek.

1.Don't drink the water.
2. Don't mess with snakes.

3. If stick or rock in hand, ALWAYS mess with snakes.

 

[SmokinBob]

I think all those teams are the last 3 years.

So you don’t think it’s 8 years of teams?

 

[Devo182]

Florida closed pretty strong didn't they? I think they had injuries the first half of the year?

Idk but still unranked, I'd think they're the worst team in the CWS. State and UVA in 2nd tier.

Just sucks if we end up in the semifinals with...of course...the 3 other best teams in the WHOLE country smh. We haven't made a semifinal in a major sport since 2008 Lady Vols (unless I'm missing one idk)...so this lineup would be such "UT luck".

Maybe UVA can get their shiz together. And either of the losers' bracket on the other half I'm good with.

 

[Devo182]

Nederlands is my team (in an Euro Comp).

Mine too. Always pull for them, outside of that game vs us where theu put us on skates. That jersey color doesn't hurt

I'll pull for Italy or Spain too, fun teams to watch.

Happy Sunday and Happy Father's day to all the amazing dad's on Volnation. Be blessed.

June 16, 2024: Many of you, My children, are caught in the throes of division and mired in disagreements and disunity instead of seeking peace. I want you to remember that I have no favorites. When you are one with Me, walking with Me, and having My mind, you will seek to be at peace. Put aside prejudice and pride, and walk in the strength of My Spirit, says the Lord. And, love will overcome hatred. 1 Timothy 5:21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

Here is my gif to FSU fans crying about the umps…. It also relays my feelings when we do the same thing.
