Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I haven't looked closely, but I'm not sure there will be an outright upset tonight. I was thinking Balls Tate could cover the spread, but they're so unpredictable.

How about this? (I think Tex Tech could pull an upset)

Don't like the Bama pick. I think lsu at home can handle them.

Utah has screwed me all year. They're on my banned list. No idea how to bet them. I like betting on UGA to hedge emotionally if we lose haha.
 
Disappointed Bama has 3 players above our record.

Now I really really want Sampson to break them all. ****ing backwards folks from Alabama
Henry's record is for 15 games iirc. I don't know about the others. We've played 8.

I just saw that you already know that.
 
Inquiring minds want to know.


Their 2 ranked wins will help them.

Honestly the committee should see more of a sliding scale of wins and losses, and overall SOS, but no guarantee. Many folks still operate on "ranked" wins vs not. Even when 35-40+ teams are ranked by votes, only the top 25 are published, and thus respected by many.
 
Some people have had to pick up a 2nd job the past 3-4 years. That cuts into VN time. 🫤




*Seriously, and this is going to sound bad, I think VN was funner when we were terrible. The sunshine pumpers/ nega-vol era was addictive to me. Some of the best times I've had on here were during coaching searches (Grudenmania). I still enjoy reading/posting with you all but the "hope" years were special, IMO.

There's truth to this. The BB forum was great during the Conzo and the Donnie Tyndal days. Bitching, fighting, and crying.

Don't get me wrong I'll take the winning with Rick Barnes 100% of the time, but the BB forum is kinda meh now

Yes he had 15. Sampson will beat most, if not all of them.

Disappointed nonetheless. We shouldn't be that far behind. Before this season they had 4 guys above our recordholder from a century ago.

Thanks to Josh Heupel, this historical inaccuracy shall be corrected in due course 😁

They should just select the top12 for the playoffs and then seed them by each team's overall GPA.
 
Dixie Rod in LaFollette will do that for you. Dewayne is a great guy who builds a great product. Dixie Custom Rods and Tackle
Yes. I also recommend Dixie Custom Rods



Dad got the boys one for Christmas a few years ago. The boys picked the color scheme, a bible verse, and their name was put on it. My oldest got his jersey # on his. They are High quality rods. (Dad didn't get me one. 😕)

I don't see any way Sampson doesn't get to 25 with at least 5 games to go, 2 against horrible defenses. 29 is definitely possible.
Only if Nico starts eating up the TDs 👀

But I'd say more likely we simply increase total TDs. And Samp gets more RZ opps vs SEC teams.

Yep..... The authentic spiciness is what I miss most. I have to manufacture it now.

JP poll has down at 11. Those offensive performances dragging us down on these models.


For sure.

Analytically, we shouldn't be as high as we are in the AP/Coaches poll. Our close games signal future struggles, if not losses. Just getting past the lot of UF in OT, Bama, UK was quite nice. Luckily humans look at W-L much more than W-L margins, however incorrectly, it gives us time to correct ourselves. And with a young QB, we can genuinely hope it comes to fruition. Now the vet WRs need to get their shiz together. New week, new problems 😅
