Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Jackcrevol]

Lanier is as good as billed.

Knecht has 12 so far for Lakers.

For us to win hardware he's going to have to be assertive like he was last night.

Was glad to see Dubar get quality minutes. 3 Rebounds, 4 pts.

Winston is the funniest dude in the NFL bro lol

Happy Friday

November 22, 2024: When you think that you cannot endure the circumstances you face at this time, remind yourself that God is with you to bring you through. The Lord, is your strength and your shield, your very present help in times of trouble. Access that supernatural strength by faith, and take the next step. Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

Two browns tight ends had super easy drops. Neither one were wearing gloves. In 30 degree snowy weather. I've hardly ever seen NFL receivers without gloves let alone in this kind of weather.

Real man football. Gloves should be outlawed

 

[TrippieRedd]

He is

Saw the pregame interview from last night and the reporter said “wind”

This dude just started cheesin so big. Had me in tears.

Real men where short sleeves and no gloves in cold weather football games. These whiny girls these days would've never lasted years ago..

N.C.State showed what they've been all season a mediocre .500 team. Individuals should've been able to see that when State struggled against a FCS team in their 1st game of the year.

Lost their QB some will say but they weren't very good with him either...

Vols hit the basketball court again tonight vs Baylor at 9:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Got a bad feeling Kiffy is going to dog walk Gata this weekend. FL D played a lot of snaps last week. They are bad on early downs, Miss is among the best. Lagway is probably still limited in run game. Swamp at noon isn't the same as 7pm Swamp. Hate it.

 

[rikberry31]

If that was the case, there would be multiple teams tied with the same SOS

?

Got a feeling we aren't gonna see "A Very Manning Christmas" album

I still think it should not be allowed to have eastern schools play later-than-8pm tip-offs.

If we care about student-athletes or their fans we wouldnt do that.

Student athletes haven't been cared about for years and Networks really don't care if Fans of schools can't sit up past 9:00 p.m.

Good morning from the deer woods, fellow morans.

Good luck, venison for thanksgiving!

Or be on irrelevant channels that basic cable doesn't provide.

That is a Summit Goliath. Awesome stand. Parents got it for me for Christmas a few years back. It is comfortable.

November 22, 1975.
UT - 17
Kentucky - 13

Big plays helped the Vols to a 17-0 lead over UK in Lexington. A long pass to Larry Seivers set up a Mike Gayles TD and Stanley Morgan scored on an 80 yrd run. Morgan had 138 yrds on 17 carries. UT had a hard time in the second half, but the defense held strong on 4th down with 3 minuets left, and secured the 17-13 victory. With the win, Tennessee became the eleventh team to win 500 career games.

I just saw the Untold show about Connor Stalions last night……

It’s so freaking funny/weird/ that he was just hired as an assistant coach at Bryce Underwood’s HS.

Oh yeah, I got one last week.

The fact that SOS varies widely among publications tells you it isn't a set calculation. Let's just use common sense there.

Just as 1 example picked at random, Miami's opps are 2% higher than us, yet they're 37 spots below us.

It was posted earlier our opponents' W-L cumulative record is sub-100 nationally...and yet we have the #17 SOS according to the post you replied to...

By definition a statistic is a set calculation. Fact is SOS is a very simplistic stat that takes into account very few (one) variables and is not as nearly meaningful as so many give it credence. And they don't ever show the actual numbers just an ordinal ranking, I am sure everyone of these rankings puts their own spin on it.
Just like polls most people don't understand statistics and just look at the numbers and blindly accept them. Just like most people don't really understand football they just watch the ball and see the score.
Besides that stupid committee doesn't give a rip about any of it.

From people who get SOS and how it is used:

"The college football playoffs are even worse. The committee is meant to take into account the strength of schedule of the candidate teams. However, no methodology is specified. This leaves room for bad methodology. This is especially true when you consider the following quote directly from the CFP website: “Nuanced mathematical formulas ignore some teams that ‘deserve’ [emphasis theirs] to be selected”.

Translating for everyone out there, “we would rather pick our favorite and most profitable teams to make the playoffs than teams that are actually better”. Math is not to be trusted, of course, because everyone knows that statistics lie!

Apparently Leacock can run like the wind but can’t catch a cold

End around?
Jet sweep?
Get him the ball then…

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

I’ve been disappointed in Mashack (not actually) just because he ain’t averaging 12/5/5 like I thought he would.

One guy I would almost pay just to watch him play defense. He is like a ticked off yellow jacket…..eventually he is going to get you, maybe several times.

 

[rikberry31]

It is shocking that there is no Georgia back in the top ten and Alabama's leading rusher is the qb. The committee better keep us out, we are built for the postseason, rushing and defense.
