Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JP_UT_O&W]

Ol Cole ain't looking at the stat line. He's watching the actual game footage and seeing what happen at the LOS.

His praise for Pearce, ONL, Simmons, Moi, & West should tell y'all folks all you need to know.
Don't doubt JPJ's impact, even if he hasn't shown up on the stat sheet all that much

Josephs, Pili, Jakobe Thomas. I love the entire defense but these 3 are my favorite to watch play.

Josephs is everywhere. Pili is everywhere. And Thomas murders people.

I heard mention that Boo was in street clothes in 2nd half due to concussion.

McCoy and Gibson just as fun as guys you mentioned. Between them, Boo/Harrison and front 7 we barely see the safeties (weakest link but still good, especially Jakobe) have to make more than a couple plays a game.

Gibson barely gets tested because he is lockdown and teams are realizing McCoy is too. Both are also extremely physical and sure tacklers in open field. I saw Gibson came up and stopped a RB in the opens field about 4 yards behind the line. Would have been a 10 yard+ gain otherwise.

 

[gainesvol82]

Do we know anything more about what happened to him? Maybe concussion type symptoms?

Bingo. Was said after the game by Hype.

Bruh the amount of OK fans saying they could have won that game or we were very beatable makes me think they are the most delusional fan base ever. At no point was the game in danger for us. They keep saying “if we had a qb…blah blah blah”. Well if we had our tackles and they didn’t mess with their field we score at least 21 more. Hell even without that if the refs don’t try their hardest to keep them in the game we score at least 14 more. They act like our defense didn’t impact the way their offense played. Like they think Arnold just gave them the ball and we didn’t take it. Even on the interception that was all McCoy baiting Arnold to throw it and disguising his coverage. Arnold didn’t just throw it straight to McCoy while he was just standing there. This kind of pisses me off but it might be good cause all these other fans downplaying the win like some UGA fans are will be in for a big surprise when we play them JPJ, Pili and the boys are hittin the hell out of their qbs and causing turnovers. Surprisingly enough, it’s Bama fans who I see the most actually giving the team credit for the win.

OU fans seem to be very classy. Not surprised as I loved OKC when I visited. But.....I bet many of the "nicest" fans wouldn't have been so charitable had they known how bad we were going to dominate them and then were still classy after because we are coached by Heupel.

Still guessing they are a classy fan base but would be a different story if we were one of their former Big 12 rivals.

Man you can complain about officials all you want but I refuse to die on that hill. Especially when there isn't a damn thing I or any fan can do about it.

Bad officiating is a issue in every conference in College Football just not the SEC .

I wasn't complaining about officiating. I was explaining what is wrong with the typical responses to people who do make a claim that officiating in a particular game was biased.

Conveniently for my purposes, you now provide a fresh example:

Bad officiating is a issue in every conference

My point is that even if that claim is true (i.e., bad officiating is an issue in every conference), that fact does not logically entitle the claimant to conclude that officiating therefore cannot be biased in a particular game. It invites easy agreement, so it may provide some rhetorical benefit, but it does not and cannot do any logical work.

State it the other way around and maybe it will be more clear: It could (logically) be true that there was officiating bias in a particular game and also be true that "bad officiating is an issue in every conference." There is no logical contradiction.

The same for other similar responses, such as "all fans complain about officiating." Or "officials are human and humans sometimes err." Or (the accidentally comic): "My coach taught me that only losers complain about the refs." Or (the most laughable): "I can vaguely imagine or at least make speeches about perfect robots." All of these claims could theoretically be true. But if they are true, there is no logical implication with respect to bias in a particular game.

I learned to drive a stick shift in a Chevy LUV truck - and all of the other 3 who knew how - were asleep! Two in the truck bed and one in the passenger seat…trial and error and not a one woke up!

I was intentionally taught to drive in a straight shift, too. It seems like the best way to teach, so the kid then has the option if wanted or necessary. But I doubt it happens that much anymore.

I do bet you were hell on wheels.

I enjoy ragging on the Okies. I hate that team. But I hate everybody but us, so that's not as special as it feels when we play them. I guess some Okie fans are heads and some are great fans. The great fans one is more likely to meet in real life, the heads on the internet. So long as our guys stay focused on the next game and keep winning, I reckon it doesn't mean much what the fans of the teams we beat say after they lose. So long as we find a way to enjoy their carping.

I haven't driven stick in so long I'm not certain I have the coordination for it anymore. Automatic has spoiled me.

It must be rough to have to keep your husband muzzled in the RV so he isn’t constantly barking…or maybe she uses a bark collar?

Sorry @SmokinBob , I couldn’t resist

He and a Tennessee guy were discussing Georgia‘s potential games that could be a challenge this year and some random Tennessee guy walked by and started in on him - being a complete jerk - got my dander up - I ended up telling him to go home (the random Tennessee guy, not Mr Smokin’)

Watching these Oklahoma media and youtube ppl react has showed me that:

They are not used to things not going well for them. Very much a "how could this be happening to US, the Great Oklahoma!" They have a hard time recognizing just how bad we outclassed them because of how spoiled they've been. They think it's more of their fault rather than our fault.

Well Oklahoma....there ain't no more flyover-backwater stiffs to inflate your all time record with. You ain't competing against kids that grew up counting kernals in a crop circle.

Welcome to the mf-ing SEC, the REAL SOUTH where we got the biggest fastest meanest black, white and....POLYNESIAN mfers, ready to provide you a most unwelcome amount of B2A-ness.

Happy 0-1.

Yes
Very entitled fan base
They are about to be pretty mad for awhile bc they aren’t winning the conference for a long time
Texas has recruited what it takes and they haven’t

If we played who they have played the last 120 years we would have as many wins as them which honestly makes Tennessee and bamas win total even more impressive overall. I how they miss a bowl this year but I think their defense is just way too strong.

Just because it ain't our music doesn't mean it sucks...did you not see Neyland filled to the brim? Wallen is a f'n superstar now whether we hate his music or not...I get it, it's not cup of tea either.

I don’t know if a full stadium is proof that your music doesn’t suck. I went to a K-POP concert that was sold out…. One of the songs was a remix of I scream for ice cream. Not as big as Neyland but still had 30,000 and could have added more, imo.

I don’t have a clue what Wallen sings but he is very popular. I’m glad he is representing the Big Orange.

 

[volbeast33]

I wish they started the other guy so they couldn't be singing the "if he played the full game" song.

I’m good with it the way it happened. I enjoy listening to them cry. That qb may be good or could struggle… His success came when we loosened up the defense and was trying to slow the game down.

 

[UTSuave’]

You posted that..did you not read it all either?

Not gonna lie Peyton Manning in the full uniform pads and all was overly super wack…he should have just left it at Tony and Josh with the teams included…also i agree @volbeast33 its straight garbage music..90’s country all day

 

[Jackcrevol]

Is this you Jack?

not me bru

 

[Jackcrevol]

I call BS, Willie Nelson wasn't considered country either..... It's why he left and went back to his roots in Texas.

Willie would co sign on lots of Wallens music.....

For what it's worth Willie is an effing genius. He sings country/western music in jazz cadence and no one was the wiser. It's why so many people love him and his music outside his genre.........

also a damn good guitar player

Are you intentionally trying to trigger @knoxvol52 ?

Didn't phase me at all. Haters are going to hate.
