Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I would love to see Lewis or webb running without extra guys being able to be in the box.

Webb could have a 15 - 20 avg ypc in CJH's offense. He normally made the 1st 2 miss, ran over the next two and in this offense the 5th guy would be chasing from behind which was a losing proposition against Webb.

More recent generations of soldiers are much open about their issues. WW1 and 2 vets were a different breed. The WW1 guys weren't far removed from the much harsher realities of the less tame 1800's and WW2 soldiers had just endured the Great Depression.

They undoubtedly suffered either in silence and you had others that took it out on their families throughout the 50's. Those guys also had a much more simplified outlook toward the enemy being "evil" an inciting the situation.

Wars since then have typically been long-term wars of attrition with more civilians involved that blurred the lines of morality. Plus, info is much more widespread and the media much more willing to run negative stories about veterans and the military in general.

My son the Marine wont talk about his time in Iraq, unless he hears something , like on TV, that he can relate to or that he says is a lie about it.

As I see it, wars are manufactured to feed the corporate industrial war machine, to steal wealth from the citizens, transfer it to private corporations, empower their political lackies and get them re-elected in perpetuity. If we really wanted to serve our vets better, the citizens would rise up and put a stop to that instead of asking those perpetual political lackies to do more for the soldier-fodder after they use them up and throw them aside.

I have very little hope it will change. It's almost too big to fail.

Wow. Texas AM could walk up to the podium and light a fart & id barely notice they were there. School barely registers a blip on the radar for me. Misery and Tamu, absolute worst additions to our conference, bar none.

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

There was an awful lot of Butch Jones level copium in those posts. That makes me happy.

lol no pressure to win.

@Weezer how goes it this AM, broheim?

And other dude with staph infection.

Hope its better.

Agreed. I mean, I feel like we’re so loaded in this years class but we’re still what… 5th in the conference? It’s insane.

Definitely where retention and development have to come into play.

My bet is on, 'intestinal parasites from eating undercooked puppies'.

I'm sorry you can't read, you illiterate moran. Retired undefeated means I never lost.

I love flipping recruits from Alabama!!

I’ve said this multiple times over the last few days. I’m really enjoying being hated again. Reading all this copium from other message boards has warmed my heart.

There was a Nationalism, unified hatred, a vitriol toward a common enemy. Amazing how potent hate can be, when there are no checks & balances. Media has always been used to further perverted messages, WW2 Germany, Cambodia, Rwanda.

Issues post Korea, at least that I see. Yes, media is covering more than ever. Be it embeds, or round the clock news cycle. 'Wars' are now politically motivated, further, justified.

Every single, day, hour, & minute people are privy to every single atrocity. How often do we hear about a heroic effort? So, then with ONLY two major political parties, does it not follow that people would draw a politically biased conclusion about events?

I think that's just the World we live in now.

People allow largely negative narratives to be driven into their core belief system. It's an easy target. Instead of applying nuance to an otherwise complex issue.

Once had a manager at this job I had, at a Roadhouse, Dalton I believe. Guy was an oracle, he said, Support police & military persons always. Support them, but questions their motives & leadership always.

Further, be nice. Always be nice, until its time to not, be nice.

Guy was always getting into fights, weird.

man I wish he would get a legit shot as QB1, not just as an oh crap our other guy is hurt
