Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Go Fight Win]

I can’t wait to see Mike with his first quick screen to get him going. He brings that Peter Warrick open field dynamic to the room.

Dude yes. He’s so fast. And Staley, god…. Abundance of talent

I wanna see Cam and Keith dominate carries. And Lewis. I’m greedy

Our defense has a lot of depth. Hopefully they will get our offense plenty of snaps.

Mayonaise,

If we were in our traditional schedule we would be getting ready to face Mertz and DJ Lagway and not know who would take the most snaps. Lagway would play like a superstar and beat us. It would be typical UT/UF game. But alas, Texas AM gets it this week and we get more game film. Can’t wait to throttle them October 12th.

Ric just wants to remind you who the best was.

 

[BleedOrange16]

Anyone going to Oklahoma for the game? My brother bought himself, his wife, my dad, and me tickets. Fortunately I am a huge fan of airplanes and flying in general.

We have 5 going. Got an AirBnB in Norman months ago - can’t wait. It’ll be a whirlwind trip but fun to watch the Vols win by fiddy.

Anywhere, anytime, big boy. You don’t mind if I post pictures of you crying for mercy?

 

[Adam Sandler]

Let it be written. Let it be done.

We would win. Screw kiffin and that lame 64k stadium. Waste of a playoff location.

I agree that Austin saved the WWF. Disagree that he helped kill WCW/NWO...the WWF only played a small role in that. WCW killed itself. Better booking, and a wrestling mind like Vince, and WCW would still be to this day. They had the talent, just not the leadership. Hogan, along with Bischoff, Nash, and others played their part in it's demise.

As far as Flair...him, Savage, HBK, Hitman, Austin, and some others...in-ring, on the mic, promo work, and just a plain worker...Natch was as good as anyone to ever do it. However, as far as drawing power, he never could hold a candle to Hogan and Austin.

Just started getting back into wrestling this past Wrestlemania. Hadn't watched in 20 years. Keeping up with it a bit now. Hard, though, as I long for those yesteryears.

I think huge contracts help kill WCW too, everybody was getting paid and everybody got greedy. Your right though, a McMahon would have never had WCW in that shape,he would have had it thriving. Austin vs McMahon was the best feud of all time, it was new and never been done to that extent before and it worked! Also, WWFs supporting cast was better, why in the world did the NWO have midcard talent?

Couple all that with Austin's drawing power and how solid the roster was in WWF and that was too much for WCW. Goldberg was viewed as an Austin copycat and it wasn't fair to him cause he was really good, even though I didn't like him at all. WWF also had JR and King, they were better than anybody not named Heenan.

Attitude era was pure gold and probably the best time for pro wrestling in my lifetime.

SIAP. If Heupel was any good he would be at OU obviously.

They really need to be focused on Tulane

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

There is no woo in Rockytop.

I don't think those guys are on the team

 

[jave36]

I don't think those guys are on the team

They're so bad on offense, even the fans need to be focused.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Marine Corps legs are going out from under me...a few other things going on. But all in all, I'm still kicken'.

As long as you’re still kicking. I served with a few Marines, I know how hard they fought (I was in when Desert Shield started and had a Navy Seal as a roommate). So I’ve heard stuff. As long as you’re still kicking, you’re still with us brother.

My top 5 favorite wrestling tag teams

1) The Legion of Doom / Road Warriors
2) The Hart Foundation
3) The Hardy Boys
4) The British Bulldogs
5) Edge and Christian

Honorable mention: The Bushwhackers

Agree on number 1. Going old school with rest of mine. Yes, grew up watching Mid Atlantic Wrestling

1. Road Warriors (snack on danger, dine on death is greatest line of all time)
2. Ole and Gene Anderson ( Minnesota Wrecking Crew)
3. Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood
4. Paul Jones and Baron Von Raschke
5. Von Erich brothers

[SugarCC]

Absolutely, midnight express were gold. Rock n roll sucked, they deserved every shot they took from Cornette's loaded tennis racket.........Cornette and Heenan, best managers of all time. I can't choose, so they are tied.

Brain.


Taking NOTHING away from Cornette, though. I mean, the man was so good at being a heel, he literally had to carry a pistol to protect himself, because people hated him so much and wanted to kill him.

This could be a really great game with the chance to see so many players. I am excite. Wanna see the twos on our OL, too.

Can't mention tag teams without adding The Fabulous Freebirds. They had the tough guy Terry Gordy the technical wrestler in Buddy Roberts and the mouth piece Micheal Hayes.

You need to watch "Who Killed WCW" on the Vice Channel. As told by the people that were involved. Crazy stuff.
