Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Adam Sandler]

This is the definition of desperate if you look it up in the dictionary

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.

No vitriol here. Don't even know who you are. Sorry if I came off raw.


Would disagree with margins. Bill C (the GOAT) and most other analytics folks stand with margins as a primary predictor of success. My UT example is always 2016 bowl game, where 10-2 #10 Northwestern, that won half of their games by 4 or fewer points, came in as a 9 pt dog to 8-4 #24 UT that was +15 ppg iirc. NW lost by 39. Similar story with ND vs Bama in the cfp championship. ND just skated by all season on close wins. A dominant 11-1 team would have been a favorite vs ND on a neutral field.

Close wins/losses are variance. Big wins and losses are stronger correlated to root causes.

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.

Yeah last year was tough, but credit goes to Bama for playing well. I can give you woulda/coulda/shoulda, but it boils down to UGA having a weak-ish schedule and losing its biggest game.

That’s why I feel better about this year. Having margin for error is a big luxury.

Let’s shake hands over Bill C. and get less sensitive.

Dang it—typo. And I’ll get less sensitive.

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

You need to work on that lisp . That kinda crappy

Everyone’s watching the UGA bama game

It’s nice to not have to stress about a UT game and just be able to fully focus on schadenfreude for one of those teams.

Sounds like a hippothysis to me.

You might have the history right, but the recent push has been Kirby trying to get the game back to home/home.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Dylan Sampson hits 13 more rushing TDs (23 total on season) and he'll not only have the single season record, but also eclipse the career mark with 36. James Stewart owns it now at 35

Good thing we have 11 games left

Jalen McMurray in the mix!

We ain't had opponents in here in a while. Those damn UF fans that used to like to gloat sure seemed to dissappear. Or maybe I left their operating space. 99 was a condescending d wad. Would love to copy/paste some old posts for their current circumstances.

I hover between 220-225lbs, but I'm 6'4". My morning routine probably helps, I call it the 2x4 (200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 200 crunches, 200 squats and run 7 miles after). . .

You’re working way too hard. I’m 220 and my morning routine is roll out of bed, take a 20 minute **** while doom scrolling, shower, drink enough black coffee for 3 people, spend way too much on an order of eggs Benedict and homefries whilst finishing documentation from the day before, and then going to help old people not fall down at home.

Pay no attention to the fact that I am only 5’11

These are the real moves that make us better. A recruit here or there means chit.
