Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[VolNRaleighNC]

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hold your loved ones close and enjoy every second of it.

Just lost an uncle this morning that meant everything to me. In a way, he raised me growing up. A part of me is now gone.

Much love to everyone here and hope you have the most blessed day with your family. Love you guys.

Dang, praying for you and your family! So sorry for your loss Trippie.

Merry Christmas

December 25, 2024: Set aside time to spend in My presence and receive the benefits of being in the Spirit where you will find restoration and renewal. Whether you are aware of it or not, you need to refocus and reset. Colossians 3:1-3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Making rice krispies treats. My brother said, "You put cinnamon in them, huh?"

About 10 minutes later I heard my 8 year old nephew ask his mom, "what is a cinnamon enema?"

Not concerned with what teams that didn’t make the playoffs do or who they pursue.

Did we 'make' the playoffs with the Vandy win, or was it Mississippi State? Or NC State? Or squeaking past UF & UA?
Hilarious one there kid.. We snuck back into a playoff that we clearly didn't belong in solely because of all of the other losses that teams above us took after we did not win @ UGA.

Merry Christmas to all.

I’m not a kid.

And I’m not sure why you’re diminishing the fact we won 10 games and made the playoffs. Or think we didn’t deserve it bc we didn’t blow teams out. That’s stupid. Really, really stupid.

This is how every playoff in every sport works … really weird logic.

You sounded like a kid. My bad. And yes we won 10 games, against nobody who was a threat. And then went into Columbus and proved that we're not a threat.

Merry Christmas! Remember why we celebrate; for if there was no Christmas, there’d be no Easter. Without Easter, there’d be no hope.

Isaiah 7:14

14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

4 year old got his first bike with training wheels today. Liam went outside and rode the bike down the slope. Well my daughter ran outside and said he hit your car dad. I'm 5 glasses of spiked egg nog in and I said , I got insurance.

Yeah the most talented team in the country beat our azz. Doesn’t mean we didn’t belong in a 12 team playoff. Spot was earned on the field.

From Stoerner Fumbles in the BB Forum:

1. Carr is leaving. Carr believes he can preserve eligibility, make more money and play more. Whether he is right or not doesn’t matter.

2. Carr has acted like a spoiled turd off and on the whole time he’s been here. I’ve expressed in the past that the legend of Carr has always been better than the actual Carr. He could keep it together in spurts, but ultimately acted selfishly in several instances.

3. Last week, we agreed to a better NIL for 25. He left anyway under some “advice”. He’s been close with Sanchez at UVA in the past, but also has some Louisville and Mizzou connections. Not sure where he’s going given his baggage.

4. There is (allegedly) some truth to the creepy story of Carr and DJ and (allegedly) underage girls. It contributed to DJ’s departure, but more importantly to Awaka’s. I said at the time that Tobe had some moral issues with certain players. I haven’t commented on who specifically, or why, because it involved a player’s family and (allegedly) minors. He was disgusted, and gave an ultimatum that resulted in Carr staying and him leaving. Barnes couldn’t take sides in a matter he knew nothing about, but Barnes loved Awaka and didn’t want him to go. To be a head coach today, you have to be shielded and shield yourself from certain realities. There are lots of groupies, and lots of temptations for these young men. I get that, and I understand there are lots of gray areas. That said, there is nothing acceptable about players compromising underage girls, if true. There are aspects of the Carr situation that have been messy and difficult from the start. He’s better off gone. Carr dug his own hole, dug out of it a few times, but he burned his last ticket. Maybe he needs a new start somewhere else. I’m not a pitchfork guy when it comes to player departures, but I am a bit relieved that he’s going.

Viewed this yesterday:

Messed up situation if true about minors..

Next year is a come to Jesus moment for Heupel’s regime. Coach Heupel HAS to have another offensive mind join the staff, come in and change some things. Preferably someone who is a Qb coach too.

Either he can choke to be a “ stubborn OC”married to his system no matter what, or he can become an elite head coach who always adjusting and ready to do what’s best to fulfill his job as head coach.

I fear the evidence suggests he’s stubborn and loyal.

Hopefully he surprises in the coming months.

Bama wasn’t a “threat”? What kind of insane standard do you have here?

A whole lot of teams failed to squeak past UF, Bama, or even Vandy. Your “point” isn’t valid.

Be worried about every SEC team that we play. There are no guaranteed easy wins. That will be the case even when we have built this thing into a dominant program. Enjoy each win. No need to look into the future to borrow trouble from tomorrow.

lol “no guaranteed easy wins”…but all of our wins are trash?

Funny I don’t remember you being around before the game. Says a lot about who only shows up after a defeat. Some folks favorite time to appear.
