Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Someone told me that you can actually train a hippo to use a toilet, but I think that’s just a hippo potty myth.

Close to my routine in my 30's.

300 Pushups, 100-150 crunches, 3-5 miles.

Not so much now. My knees hurt just thinking about running 3-5 miles. Damn I miss it.

I probably couldn't do 50 push-ups. . . maybe 4 sets of 10.

Lol we take rankings from teams by embarrassing them. You bolster rankings by playing close. UK and NC state or OK would all be good matchups. For once i am excited to play you guys and Bama. Skin in the game means more for us all.

I get the sentiment, but UGA took Clemson out back and whooped them. Even after getting nothing against us, they’re still a top 10 offense (YPP against FBS teams). Show me another ranked team with a 30-point loss on a neutral field this season.

Kentucky isn’t a great team, but they always seem to give UGA fits in Lexington. In the last three trips up there, UGA scored 13, 16, and 14 points.

FPI says Vols by 2 TDs

Which feels quite right, even conservative if we let loose and spy QB effectively which I don't doubt with Pili's instincts.

We beat NC St (#15 vs #24 matchup iirc) by 41.

And, yes, on a neutral field. Just to meet all barriers to entry.

I could do it in sets. I dont know if its tendons or ligaments (prob early arthritis) in shoulders. Cant really do shoulder press bc of it, maybe really light weight. Then top off at 45 lbs.

Pushups I could get to 200 in sets, but would hurt at first.

Pullups, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii forget it.

Rodney Garner effect. And that doesn’t even include his recruiting.

Yans better put some respek on Levorn Harbin’s name too

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Kirby hates playing in Jacksonville and is trying to get it changed to home/home. But the university makes so much money that he keeps getting overruled. And, obviously, while we never play in the Swamp, Florida never has to play in Athens.

UGA is one of—if the singular—most aggressive scheduling SEC teams. Since 2017, we’ve had home/home with ND, played Clemson twice, and played Oregon. And we play a minimum of 9 P5 games every year because of GT. We had a lousy 2023 schedule because our planned 23/24 home/home with Oklahoma got cancelled by the SEC when Oklahoma joined the league.

Yeah UGA offense sucks azz and let UK shut em down, true dat. And the defense couldn’t get that mighty UK offense off the field. They possessed the ball for 35 minutes and went 9/16 on 3rd down.

300 Pushups, 100-150 crunches, 3-5 miles.

Worked out with 225, at 185.

Running sucks compared to biking. If you are looking for distance and longevity, exercises down the road.

Running is so overrated and not exactly easy on our bodies and joints.

DD4ME’s point wasn’t about teams being ranked when the games were played; it’s about where they’re ranked now. Y’all crushed NCST, but that win probably isnt going to get more valuable with the passage of time.

 

[Devo182]

Oh joy.

Here the come the worst of the worst. A real braintrust I'm sure. But at least they've pushed out 2 other major conferences, half of the country, and now Sankey is the highest paid commish instead of #3.

Mr. MDE and Napoleon Complex succeeds.

Got a Trek hard tail. Added stuff like new cranks, clip pedals, and dropper seat (which ive used once).

Trek MTB ride on 29ers. So its a workout just getting in down the road. When the planets align will take the boy, or meet some buds on Tweetsie Trail and ride to Riverside Taphouse, or come back to Crankys for a beer.

About 15-20miles. The boy rides about 5-6 miles, on training wheels.

You guys always lay an egg, but you also no longer have Brock HOF Bowers or Stetson Gamer Bennet. I will be at the edge of my seat to see how you play Bama. You will beat a lot of teams on talent. That is what pulled you ahead against Clemson. That was a battle until late.

For once in a very long time you face 3 teams with comparable talent.

 

[screenthis]

Prayers everyone is safe.

That road does flood quite often. But yes, looking like a bad one for Tallahassee and the area up there.

DD4ME’s point wasn’t about teams being ranked when the games were played; it’s about where they’re ranked now. Y’all crushed NCST, but that win probably isnt going to get more valuable with the passage of time.

Then it's a meaningless discussion. No one knows where any teams will be ranked by season's end. W4 vs W2 is immaterial by that standard, might as well leave that argument by the wayside.

You can only play the team that's in front of you at the time. If you RAIL a team and they get dropped...then you are punished...? That's silly. And if you SQUEAK by the same team and they stay ranked, that makes you better?? LMAO. Awful logic.

Nobody is really ranked right now. AP rankings are meaningless.

We’re going into week 5 and the first CFP rankings don’t drop until after week 10 (40 more days).

I get it, and I actually agree a Clemson win may be the mercy rule you need if you drop 2 of your big 3.
You guys truly could go undefeated, but we can all agree this is your most vulnerable in the last several.

UGA fans will look back and kick themselves for that Bama loss last year that kept you out. You had the better team.

BTW you are welcome anytime in my book. I have no issues looking past the homer perspectives and you seem capable of that.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Sucks about Utu but we will be okay

Utu can sleep at night if you’re saving 15% with Geico

Dude. Read my post history and you’ll find me making this very point. I don’t know where the vitriol comes from.

I’d also suggest that margin of defeat doesn’t matter as much in rankings once we get 5-6 games in.

Except rankings don’t matter 5-6 games in. They don’t matter until the actual rankings come out. For now it’s just so everyone has something to talk about

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Honestly I agree about the NC St win if they don't recover. I've always thought it was dumb when people would say so and so beat a top 10 team, and they finish the season 7-5. Like no you didnt
