Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JT3]

Agreed.

At OT
Umarov, 4 star 6'7" 330lbs - FR
Johnson III, 3 star 6'7" 350lbs - SO
Brian Grant, 3 star 6'7" 340lbs - SO
Heard, 5 star 6'6" 340lbs - SO (he's getting better every week it seems)
Perry, 3 star 6'6" 310lbs - FR
Ginther, 3 star 6'5" 310lbs - FR
Duncan, 3 star 6'6" 300lbs - FR
Warren, 4 star 6'7" 342lbs - FR

IOL
Reddick, 3 star 6'5" 350lbs - SO
Lang, 3 star 6'4" 340lbs - FR
Bussell, 3 star 6'5" 300lbs - FR
Anderson, 4 star 6'5" 311lbs - FR
Satterwhite, 4 star 6'3" 300lbs - FR

Every one of them is rated as high or higher than Davis, Campbell, and Spraggins.

Mays is going to be hard to replace, but I think there's good size and talent just waiting for a chance.

We may need to add 1 interior guy from the portal but the other 3 spots i would hope we already have on the roster. I'm assuming Karic is not back. We can also kick a few of those OT bodies inside. I wouldn't be mad if all 4 spots are already on the roster.

you could probably list all the Big 12 games...lol...

Michigan has no shot at OSU.
GT isn't beating UGA in athens.
USCw over ND....that's not crazy talk, that could happen.
MD isn't beating PSU, but it would be great if they did.
feels like Syracuse over Miami is too trendy of an upset for it to actually happen....but, certainly, still possible.
does Cal/SMU change anything in the ACC? IIRC, SMU is already in Charlotte, right? if so, then hell yeah, sign me up for that upset.
Purdue over IND....is gigantor suiting up in a football uniform for them this week? if not, IND wins big.
scared of the aTm/TX game. i would only like aTm winning if i KNEW UGA was going to win in ATL.
i got no clue on the KSU/ISU game. both of those teams have looked really good, and really average this year.
and there are plenty of people looking at Vandy as a trendy upset pick over us.....so, this is one party i'd not like to attend.

bonus upset...Auburn over Bama...that'd be a nice cherry on top.
or MSU over Ole Miss.....just because Kiffin sucks.

But then you start to have to hear USCe fans chirping if they beat Clemson....not sure i'm ok with that?

SMU losing means they'd HAVE to win the ACC title game to stay in the playoffs, but they're in the title game even with a loss. Miami loses to Syracuse and Clemson plays them.

How long do you think you could survive in the amazon with nothing but what you have on and in your pockets right now + 1 item of your choice? What item are you choosing?

Bear Grylls

[Girth Brooks]

And if SMU, already lower than UGA, also loses, they get dropped out too I assume?

So you now have
#8 IU
#9 Boise St
#10 Clemson (let's assume they win this week)

Who is your #11? If you leave out all of the 3-loss SEC teams...you have...Tulane jumping 6 spots


If there's ever a year a 3 loss team gets in, it would seem to be this one. You'd literally be left with only TWO SEC teams in that case. Oh and if we lost, then only ONE. That is patently absurd. Texas, OSU, and a load of scrubs Ya gotta fill in a 12 team playoff somehow.

Then they shouldn’t have lost elsewhere in the regular season. I’m of the belief that UGA should be left out of the CFP if they lose in the SECCG. They did what was needed to earn a spot in the SECCG, so they can accept the consequences of a loss. Don’t lose to the Gumps or Ole Miss in the regular season and it doesn’t matter. The entire schedule matters! It is used to select teams for conference championships, so the game should likewise have value, good or bad. Life isn’t fair, but a 3-loss SEC team doesn’t belong this year, not without a complete and thorough meltdown amongst the top-15 over the next two weeks.

I literally said the <BOLD> in the post you responded to.

Several of you are in the mood to argue, can’t read, or have started imbibing early.

If we're smart we bring in Austin Gentle in the portal, I don't care how he's rated that guy can become a first day starter for the interior next season. He's 6'3" and 295lbs so good size and 30 consecutive starts at any level is impressive.

 

[NMVol]

Man, this makes me feel old. Wish they had beaten the Bruins.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

They meet on Invol’s boat. I’ve seen the pictures.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Anyone else notice the pundits not even mention how good our defense is? We had one eh game against Georgia and suddenly everything else they've done is completely ignored.

Who does the Thanksgiving cooking in your family? My mom is still the master chef on my side of town.

We host a family potluck where I smoke two hams, my wife prepares a couple of dishes, and other family members bring various foods. We always gather at our house since it’s centrally located between my family and my wife’s family.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Sweet relish, like bread and butter pickles, are an abomination.

Which brings me to the next question. . .

How many of you have ham on Thanksgiving or do you just have Thanksgiving turkey and save the ham for Christmas?

Which brings me to the nest question. . .

That sounds awesome. What time should we come over? I'll bring the moonshine.

 

[TheRain]

Not sure Vandy is worth this speech but we can't lose this game.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Cranberry Sauce or not?

 

[gainesvol82]

I like it, honestly I wish we had an Eric Berry type on this team. Plug them in and only play 1 true LB. A 6'2" 215 bound safety with speed as the 2nd LB to help handle the QB spy work would be a big help.

Boo will do. Kid is already a headhunter. Can't wait to see him get some plays on offense. He is a stud. Our DB evals recently have been ridiculously on point.

 

[TheRain]

Cranberry Sauce or not?

Yes

Calhoun’s…after my mom passed away, a new tradition was started. And I don’t have to cook it!
