Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Ultimate goal post move. That Arkansas team is a few plays from being tied with 2 losses. Ole Miss & LSU are the only games where they really got throttled. Should have beaten OK State & A&M and also were in the Texas game until the end.

To each their own.
But no Arky isn't good.

Good grief Indiana has the softest schedule

They only play 1 (osu) of the top 8 b10 teams (7 if you exclude themselves)...
They play 8 of the bottom 10 b10 teams...


Their 3 OOC games...

FIU -- #112
Charlotte -- #120
Western Illinois (FCS)



Judging off them barely being able to beat Michigan, they would be 5-5 with our schedule w/ losses to Bama, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, & Arkansas

They wouldn't beat UK. I'm not sure they'd beat Ms St.

Yeah, it’s just a bad take.

We are one of the 10 biggest brands in all of CFB, and have strong representation across the country. If the end all be all decider is media attention, we will be in.

don't think Tennessee is top ten

 

[mr.checkerboards]

don't think Tennessee is top ten

After the last decade we aren't

 

[Justin1989]

This. People who say we get left out for the sake of TV ratings or money are clueless.

Tennessee is not a top ten brand though

Tennessee is not a top ten brand though

So, where do you think we fall to as a brand?

Have you heard of the ancient Greek hero, Bophades?

He was a lot like Achilles- he had just one weakness. Except instead of his heel, it was his groin.

You may have heard of "Achilles' heel", but have you heard of "Bophades' Nuts"?

I’m sorry that Pat got sick and couldn’t put it out of reach, but Kim will catch him!

His legacy will always be eclipsed by Pat Summitt. She transcended basketball.

Pat was a cold blooded killer. Geno was a cold blooded azzhole

Transferring to Mizzu.

Ayooo

Lol...the NBA's 'original 11' is such an arbitrary take

The NBA picked the BAA's history instead of the NBL (or both) despite the NBA forming as a result of the merger of NBL-BAA.

NBL started in 1935 (Midwest Basketball Conference - renamed NBL in '37) by basketball diehards
BAA started in 1946 by owners of arenas in big cities.


The Lakers (Kings & Pistons also) moved from NBL to BAA in '48, a year before the merger in '49.

3 teams remain from the BAA (Celtics, Warriors, Knicks)
5 teams remain from the NBL (Lakers, Pistons, Kings, Hawks, 76ers)


Are any of those teams really 'expansion teams'....that didn't start until the first wave in the 60s, late 80s, mid 90s,

You can try to spin it however you want but the fact remains..... the Boston Celtics have a better history than the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers. They are the greatest NBA franchise, ever.

Transferring to Mizzu.

Inbf Dorkwitz offers to hand carry the dick pics to his daughter. (they never got there).

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Transferring to Mizzu.

Didn't an alabama offensive lineman just do this to mizzu? Enter portal, commit to Dinkiwitz, collect NIL money, return to alabama.

Tennessee is not a top ten brand though

But Ole Miss, BYU, Miami, Indiana, etc are top ten brands compared to us?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

To each their own.
But no Arky isn't good.

Didn’t say they were.

No loss is a “good” loss, but the committee is listing Arkansas as a good win for Texas. Losing to them on the road with it coming down to the last play just isn’t as bad as other losses by the other 2 loss SEC teams.

Georgia is the only one with “better” losses, since both their losses were also on the road and are both currently top 10.

 

[Orange.]

 

[MoCo_Vol]

One reason I think Army, Indiana, Notre Dame, SMU & BYU will have difficulty making playoffs if they don’t win conference titles or win out.

Is this meme representative of what the committee said?

Arkansas L is bad for us?
Arkansas W is good for Texas?

Losses count more?
September?

There are not 11 brands better than UT currently being considered for the playoffs, imo.

Too bad the Lakers have the new Larry Bird.
