Recruiting Football Talk VIII

He’s got a long way to go. Gonna have to win something.
Been looking for 52's post, to respond too. But this will work.

Could not agree more. dude is generational, but, so was Griffey. Griffey had a torquey, hip swing. Ohtani can get over the ball, and miss by trying to hit ball too hard. Also, Ohtani is 30. That is a big deal.

In comparison, Henry Aaron played 20+ years.

Now, Aaron played outfield. Ohtani could play, say 4-5 years longer than his expiration just as a DH. But at some point, being the do all, everything is going to catch up.

I think the one 'freak' athlete who could do it all was Barry Bonds. Sorta similar type guys who just mash the ball, and could steal bases too. (Bonds didnt pitch, just as a hitter). Ohtani has a bigger cage, and longer swing. Not sure that translates well to longevity.

Wish Ohtani best of luck, great story. But, GOAT is reserved for top of lists, and cigar clenched smiles holding up 6 fingers.
 
Haha rookie, my 240 pages behind laughs at your measly double digit behind page count…

I am back here living my best life at

16-0 🤠
I was right there with you, for the first time I skipped more than 200 pages.

Trying to catch up proved to be more than I could manage. I found myself wondering why most care about a RF game thread as it seems a lot use this as the game thread.

I also feel the same as someone else posted, if we are truly elite this year, we will find a way to go into Norman and get a win. Win this game and playoff talk becomes real!

He’s probably on something lol
 
If you make it their full time job with actual accountability aka suspensions, or termination if they keep performing poorly they’ll get their **** straight. Of course there has to be common grounds between all the power conferences at least, it’s a known fact that each conference calls certain penalties different. That **** is silly.
Why do you have to make it their full time job to suspend or terminate for poor performance? If you ask the heads of officials, they already do that. They just won't admit the performance is poor.

he's 6'4". Barr Bonds was "6'2"" in quotations. Recall seeing Bonds next to Chipper on field, who is 6'4", and Chipper was much larger. Nearly half a head taller and thicker. Anyway, point being Ohtani is just a large human.
 
It says the line is back to -6.5. . . but I don't think it's really moving. When it's -6.5 it is -118. When it's -7.5 it's +102.

I think they are holding the line steady due to respect for OU's home field. They haven't been more than 3.5pt dogs at home since around 1999 I think.
It’s the first time they have been a touchdown home underdog since… *checks notes* … 1998 👀👀👀
