Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Apparently, your pupils are the last body part to stop working when you die. Yep, they dilate.
Sir Frogsworth — (Warning: This post contains a puppy pooping gif....
 
Completely agree with everything you said McGill. Ohio St. was eating them alive in that playoff game but blew it.
Yep...that is about how I think a game against them on a neutral field would have gone for us that year...I also believe if that game was at Neyland in 22, we would have straight up beat them, I don't think it would have been a tossup like a neutral field game would have been.

Georgia has been fortunate with us so far with the home-away schedule..they got us at home when we were loaded, and got us at Neyland when we just lacked the horses, especially at QB.


Make no mistake...tommorow we need Nico to be the transcendent talent he is supposed to be. We don't really need him to go supernova (would be awesome if he did though), but we do need him to not spazz out against a confusing defense and a very hostile loud crowd, and to run the offense smoothly and efficiently.


That may not be fair to a redshirt Freshman starting just his 5th game against one of the best DCs in the business...but he has to be a real weapon as the game goes on..whether he does that with his arm or with his legs like he did against Iowa does not matter...all that matters is he has to move the chains and move us down the field...and absolutely do not, under any circumstances turn the ball over.
 
Generally speaking the more skilled the player the better they are at hiding would-be penalties that get called on other players.
Or...the refs are corrupt and ignoring obvious egregious fouls right in their f'n face on purpose..because they are corrupt pieces of 💩.
 
Main reason Kirby was able to contain it was because of the Joe's he had on the DLine. Penetrated/stymied the middle of our OLine (when we had Hooker).
This is correct. (Along with what I'll say next.)
Wasn't anything schematically he necessarily did besides taking the deep threat away
The schematic things were to [1] stop the run with a light box (basically 3 down, 2 LBs) (5 on 5) and [2] drop 6 with instructions that no one was to get behind them, [3] "no matter what." That last phrase meant holding by gameplan whenever necessary, which was premised on [4] confidence that they wouldn't be flagged.

If you listen to the UGA guy's video on this Vols-Okies game (which, I think, Enki posted) what he is basically calling for is for the Okies to imitate UGA's plan. That compels him to talk up the size of the Okies' front 3 (not playing 4 down by design) and their 2 LBs devoted to run stop. Everything would depend on winning 5 on 5, so 6 could play pass and the safeties (relieved of run responsibilities!) not letting anyone behind them. But he picks Tennessee.

I think what NC State was doing was somewhat in imitation of GA. The book on us seems to be to try to do what GA did, but without all NFL guys. This thing of trying to force us into short throws is prolly something we'll have to get used to. I, for one, think Nico will have no problem being patient when patience is required. We'll take our shots. And in the meantime, leading the SEC is adding to reputation.

I don't think they can stop us.

It's also interesting that GA never stops thinking about us.

Japan is somewhere I’d like to move when this all falls apart. Still very nationalistic and traditional. Their main problem is not having kids, but that’s the case for the entire developed world.
The world is going to have change a lot to encourage people to have children again.

They have destroyed the family...in about a thousand ways.
 
He was the catcher for the Cleveland Indians back in the day. Knees gave out on him towards the end of his playing career, but he had an incredible walk off bunt against the Yankees in one of his last games.
His ex-wife was a great swimmer........individual medley, I believe?

Basically, UGA assaulted our receivers under order from the head coach. They knew they had the SEC covering and it wouldn't be called. The thing is, UT and TEX may just be the darlings of the conference this year...
