Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I forgot we were down 10 at one point in the Pitt game tbh

Yep and we beat Pitt in OT.

'Tres cervezas con lima por favor.'

'no me gusta la coca de sinoloa.'

'Whoa.'

You learn that in Cuba?


(I make that joke merely as an opportunity to post this: We know @Jackcrevol ain't no communist and we should probably consider that those jokes have run their course.)

 

[Orange_Crush]

nice find. I will amend. TBF I always added the 'H' as a regional slight on that gosh awful 'Birmin-hayum' 'Tuh-skloosugh attsayunt.' As in 'Roe Tahd.'

But yes can see how that was taken as such, my apologies.

No apologies for good joke fodder, amigo. Also because I took it in that direction; not you.

Ok folks it is Bama week. We are in playoff elimination game this weekend. Win and we advance. I like those odds. Our defense is legit. They are playoff ready. Maybe a little more stressed with Pili out, but still enough talent.

Offense we need Nico and our tackles to step up and shine, but the pieces are there.

I am confident we beat FL because of the crowd and the crowd was not as intense as it could have been. We rose up on the big occasions, but the enthusiasm struggled early with our offensive struggles. We will need everyone at their max against Bama. That is a much better team than UF and AR.

I think it is for sure.
The loser has no wiggle room left, us against UGA them Texas
10-2 feel pretty good for either team making the playoffs 9-3
PS 9-3 Bama probably 9-3 UT not so sure

Little off topic but I hadn’t used my fanduel account in a long time….new phone and never reloaded it again. I just happen to like DK better. So I just did and had $140 in my account

I can't stand the new 2FA on FD. I wish it was an option to toggle on/off

I still cannot believe that mark stoops used Diego Pavia and vanderbilt as an example of Kentucky not having good enough NIL program when they've brought in a former 5 star QB from Georgia a multi-year starter at quarterback from NC State and a former 4 star quarterback from Penn State all in the last couple of years

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Is this for real? Uncanny.

Yeah. They said on the broadcast Sunday the guy had worked for the Titans for 20 years. Broke his leg and was having surgery later that day

 

[Orange_Crush]

Really good take here, I think.

I'm pretty sure that was fake new. Admittedly I was taken in at first as well.

Sad to see…unfair to judge Billy on this season. He needs at least another year.

 

[SoilVol]

Hooker needs to start in the NFL. I realized this past Saturday just how special he was here.

He's got the work ethic and understands the game. I think its completely underrated his situational awareness and ability to dissect a defense both presnap and during the play. He has the mental tools, not just the physical.

But I think he needs to start getting serious game experience soon instead of being a multiyear backup to see his full potential. Especially bc if his age. Goff isn't going anywhere.

Lord I hope it was for his sake lol

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I chose ML.

I usually don’t get upset losing $150 to make $50 in profit.

If I would’ve put $1000, yeah I can see being mad, but I’m always fully aware I’m probably going to lose.

But some people could be.

I snagged 4.5 live. I had little confidence in us covering the original line. We are a dog to Bama, but I think that flips throughout the week

I ain’t betting on us anymore lol

Sticking with Soccer and MLB hits. Waiting for NBA to kick up

The Titans have an opportunity. In the wake of Aiden Hutchinson's injury, trade Harold Landry and Mason Rudolph for Hendon Hooker.

That's a massive overpay. Lol

NBA is my worst sport.
Live betting College football does ok.
MMA I'm decent at.

I usually take Alperen Sengun for 4ast, it’s usually like -200 or -180, I can’t remember.

But he fed my entire family for a good amount of the season last year. I think he went on a 10-11 game streak with 4 ast.

There’s this thing I do for NBA called the 4 for 4

I’ll pick 4 players, either to get 4 rebounds or 4 ast, whichever I feel more confident in.
Sengun was clutch
Pascal Siakam was clutch

Just look at the last 10 games for NBA.

lol I’m all in for them keeping Billy around.

Sucks to hear about Mertz.

Was it the field that caused his injury? I know injury was non-contact & after a throw. Maybe he just planted awkwardly

Curious to know if anyone saw anything, since it was a new field. The field didn’t look to be problematic to me, but I wasn’t playing terribly close attention.

I always put $5 or $10 dollars on the biggest odds of winning NBA Championship.

This year it's the Detroit Pistons at +100,000

side note…

Florida heebie jeebies
Backup QB heisman performance

Those monkeys finally off our back?!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I think the 2 biggest keys for Saturday are.
1. Contain Milroe. If he throws for 400 then so be it, but you can't let him run wild.
2. Start fast, can't get down 14 against a good team and expect to win

It was non contact

Yeah, i know. I mentioned that at first

We need the bama game thread started today. Monday seems to be working for the rivalry games.
