Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Rishvol]

Hey! If we kicked off all the non intellectuals, it be awfully lonely around here.

You would be missed... Probably

It’s literally their job to get the team ready to play.
They didn’t.

I work with adolescents everyday, there are a lot of good parents doing their job who have kids that don't do right, young people don't always do as they are instructed. And most of them turn out alright. "Train a child up in the way he should go and when he is OLD he will not depart from it." - The Book

I would be a club of one. Imo, jmo. Tifwiw

18-22 year olds are hard to control. You can say all the right words and that still not be good enough. To me, it's on the players more than the coaches.

The first half one to DK was a brutal toe on the line. Went to bed at start of the 4th. What happened?

Long TD pass in the 4th called back for a dumb penalty

 

[rikberry31]

Is that misinformation or disinformation? We seem to hear both terms at the same time but no one seems to know the difference. The thing you need to avoid is counter misdisinformation which can lead to double secret probation.

I have been on double secret probation since 1968. I'm like Cherry Bomb glasspacks, "Disturbing the Peace since 1968."

We aren’t talking about raising kids we’re talking about preparing a football team.
But to your reasoning, 19-20 year old kids,
Yeah you’re gonna get a few that don’t do as their told each week,

But when the whole damn offense looks like it’s the first day of spring practice.
That’s coaching failure

I wish he loved punctuation marks.

It's hard to love something that you don't know about.

Nope. Every team in in college football has 18-22 year olds.
If it’s a few players it’s probably on them, half the team, Coaches

How do you know it was half the team? Defense played well enough to win. Our two tackles decided not to show up, that's not half the team.

 

[SoilVol]

The ON3 prediction video for the UT v UF game cracked me up. Paraphrased:

"This might be a game for Tennessee where they pull a Michael Scott. There's a scene when he's asked about firing an employee and he says, "I've shot a deer once. Used a shovel. It took me four hours. Why do you ask?" And Tennessee has to beat Florida with a shovel for four hours on Saturday night to win. And I think Tennessee is capable of doing that with Sampson if the offense isn't looking pretty."

 

[Jackcrevol]

Eye black has gotten out of control.




I feel old saying that.

that's racist

LMAO classic. Just my luck

How can all of that be innocent? And does "incompetence" really want to say anything other than "innocent"? And how can even the long-standing coverup and denial, the perpetual gag orders on discussing calls, and the inability to recognize the problem from all the feedback every week (which is also suppressed) also be... innocent incompetence?

The "well, they just don't know any better" intervention always stirkes me as whitewashing. It seems almost the most conspiratorial take of all to claim that it is all one big accident, that no one in Birmingham knows anything about the way they conduct their own games. "Thought we were solid in officiating again this week, bruhs." "Keep up the good work."

That's a LOT of well-intentioned boo boos.

** Does "good ole boys" mean crooks and backroom illicit deal makers and backstabbers? As it so often does. Or earnest simpletons?

Good ole boys is people hiring their friends instead of the best options. Like in tons of companies. It leads to subpar results every time.

At least the game Saturday the SEC has no interest in tipping the scale for FU. As far as the gambling interest, the line is -14.5 and that would make me a little nervous if it moved a lot, but I don't think it has moved and they can't make every game a sucker bet. I think there is a reasonable chance we have a straight game, only bad calls because of incompetence.

If you think everybody on the offenses was playing poorly then you don't know what your looking at. On offense it only takes one or two not doing their job and the play gets blown up. The whole defense can be a bust and still be alright because one player makes a play.

Have a nice life...my advice is to go ahead and get started rummaging around in that used coaches bin for that special perfect unicorn...since you think ours suck at their jobs..

 

[rikberry31]

Should SEC officials wear body cams?

This is Genius, Ref Cam. And record what they say. "This call will be recorded for quality assurance." I love it, which means it will never happen, sorry Orange.
I'll pretend like I hate it and Sally will tell them to do it.

Biggest issue is lack of depth at tackle. Think we all know that song by now. Secondarily, why is Heard so out of shape 5th week in to year? If his ankle is bad, sit him. DD is better option imo.

Now, onto the Gators.

Fat guys don't get fat by putting too much effort in conditioning and he probably was somewhat limited during his injury and if he's visiting the frig too much in rehab, it is easy to see how it could be. Strength fades much slower than endurance, it doesn't take long to get out of shape as far as endurance is concerned.

Damn. Would've been great for my FF team

 

[rikberry31]

Anyone besides Pepperidge Farms remember that Malachi Moore's immunity to penalties and to ejections (as the visiting team at Vandy this week) has been going on for a while? He's the same guy who viciously targeted Hendon Hooker (no call, no ejection) in the '21 game.

(I'll not post it because it is too ugly to look at.)

Not so fast my friend. Eagle Scout Deboer says he's a model citizen and he has nominated him for Time's Man of the Year. Are you saying that is dismisinformation?

Sea bass, it works for the guests and the cats will feast.

But it might kick your a$$

Lmao...yeah...you don't have children

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Fire with fire I kind of like it

Taking a page from Kirby’s playbook. He told his DBs to hold our WRs until they get caught and penalized. They didn’t.

Every OL coach has told their OL to hold until penalized. None so far.

I say that our DL should go full out a la The Longest Yard until either opponents quit trying to hold or the refs start calling an equitable game.
