Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[bpalmer28]

So he could start 3 white WR’s and no one would care?

It’s weird isn’t it?!? Kirby trying his best to be Bill.

Soft serve ice cream eats Ryan Day for dessert.

I feel like everything about this whole hire is odd.

Why isn’t he still in the NFL? Why would he even want to coach in college? If he did WHY UNC?!?

There are stories out there about this if you actually wanted to know. Bill Belichick’s father was a coach at UNC, and he apparently feels a connection to the program because of that.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

no.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Didn't he pick vanderbilt to beat us?

Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

 

[bpalmer28]

Bro. I know you're being serious but times have changed a little bit.

Northshore HS in Houston TX. Ranked 5th best team in the country. #2 or #3 in Texas.
Just got beat by basically an all white team in Austin Westlake. Oh and Northshore is basically an all black team. With 4 star players everywhere and was undefeated.

It was close game, but Westlake was honestly just as fast as them. I mean...lol

Times are changing hahaha

How tho?

I’d seriously be interested in some research on this. It’s going to take a LOT to get me to believe that white kids are as athletic as black kids. Probably because I was traumatized when I was 14 in my first AAU basketball tournament. Until then I’d literally never imagined getting dunked on. Heck I was just happy to touch the net. Then we played West Lowndes. I quit playing basketball after that season.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Basketvols are +250 to make final four. 3rd best odds.

+1600 to win it all. 5th best odds

Might put $10 on it out of principle. $10 to win $160 sounds good.

When did Josh Allen ever suck? He was phenomenal at Wyoming. His sophomore year had almost 4k total yards and 35 td

Never heard anyone call him phenomenal at Wyoming. His whole MO was how average he was and that's part of my point is that Levis was worse if you watch the game film despite WL having a higher comp %.

It's the horrendous decision making that is the difference.

I think you can see raw players get better, but if they have the catastrophic turnover gene, I don't think they can get over that. From Jameis Winston, Will Levis to JG.

Ryan Day puts mayonnaise in his coffee.

 

[dmwvol12]

During his last two years in college, it seemed like a non-stop barrage from the media about how pro-ready he was and how he was going to be an incredible pro quarterback.

It just never made sense to me. They just seemed to continue to overlook his flaws in college and keep spouting the same thing.

It almost like the CFB media has to create a story like this every year to hype TV ratings or something. It's like closing your eyes and reaching into hat with a bunch of names and running with the name you blindly picked all year long.

I would have taken Hooker over him 10 to 1. He’s dumb as a tree stump and has made catastrophic plays since college. Guy couldn’t read college defenses but we will teach him to read pro defenses. They get enamored with the underwear Olympics and don’t watch them play actual football. His chances of success in the NFL was always extremely low.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Was just thinking

Remember when we used Nico's legs in the redzone against Iowa? Worked. 3 TD's right?

Have we done that a single time all year this year? I mean we obviously (Dylan Sampson) don't need to, but idk, kinda makes me feel like it makes us more unstoppable down there.

Do you or your house's chef make fried cornbread?

Used to do this.

Transitioned to cast iron skillet in the oven w Cheddar and jalapeños.

Ever make cracklin cornbread?

 

[HalfullVol]

Ever make cracklin cornbread?

No sir.

Sounds interesting though.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

No sir.

Sounds interesting though.

It's pretty decent. Havent had it in years though. May try to make some soon.

Crackling Cornbread

Crackling Cornbread has little pieces of pork cracklings throughout. Slather with butter and you have some of the most delicious southern cornbread.

When did pretty holly get a job at the sec network

 

[Wadetime]

I like that take by Wes

The dude has turned it over egregiously and showed zero poise from HS, Penn St, Kentucky and now the Titans.

It proves that a lot of ppl in sports are just not very bright and especially don't understand probability.

How the Titans, or anyone in the NFL thought they could make Will Levis who WAS DOG CRAP at Kentucky into a SUPER BOWL WINNING QB, is beyond all reason. The probability of that happening is slim to none. There no precedent of that ever.

"Wow look at that arm and talent!"

"Turns it over egregiously in almost every game of his football career? No big deal. Pick 6's and fumbles galore, stares down receivers, holds onto the ball too often. Meh, we can get him good enough to beat out guys like PATRICK MAHOMES FOR SUPER BOWLS"

Omg guys, who coulda saw that not working out! Totally made sense to risk your future over that one!

I remember texting family re: Titans draft and saying as long as we don't draft Levis I'll see how it plays out. After the first round, I thought I was safe.

Welp, here we are. I did save a good chunk of money not having to buy Sunday ticket. What absolute waste of a second round pick (yes those are very important).

That cornbread is too yeller for me.

Yeah, that's not a good picture, . Mine just looks like normal cornbread, but with some cracklins in it

Fried cornbread?
Oh yeah.

not sure if this espn clip will show up for everyone
great discussion w/ Slay at the end of the segment

Having Slay in that position only enhances the Tennessee brand. He may be the best co-host of any show.

Some players they try to talk into greatness…see Jamarcus Russell.
