Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MarcoVol]

AP insinuating that MM got wrapped up in the whole social media NIL misinformation bonanza and it’s not looking good for him to come back. Anyone else seeing this?

Where is he insinuating it?

Otha Peters

And the mom was MZTERRY.

That would be a direct act of war. Hopefully he’s smarter. Tootoo wasn’t.

At least he is from Bama and has ties to the state. To'oto'o was from Cali and just wanted an "A" on his helmet for draft purposes.

Alligators can live up to a hundred years…

…which is why there's an increased chance, that they'll see you later.

Stop that. There will be no acts of understanding, sympathy, or mercy for the crimson folk. It is law.

I hold no ill will towards him but from a talent perspective, I don’t think he has “it”, whatever that means. Was disappointed in his production this year and his uncanny ability to lose his footing immediately after securing a pass. I wish him the best wherever he goes but I’m definitely not going to root for him if he plays us.

He’s plenty talented and think he would have shown it if healthy

The three amigos….

Darlington sentimore, who were the other 2

Goggans? There was a te/de that flipped around the same time to Auburn

So they’re saying between Spyre and our coaches, they can’t rebut a bunch of internet randos?

I’m sure other programs recruiting him are adding fuel to the fire. May end up at Clemson. That’s where he was going to go if not us out of HS

So,

the whole social media NIL misinformation bonanza

and everyone participating, according to your account, has been destructive? Who could have guessed? Wonder which school started that op? Wonder why people are dumb enough to fail for that ?

I’m not persuaded that Matthews is going anywhere until he does. And if he does, I’m not going to catastrophize. The worry circle and the “very concerned” are an essential part of the bonanza.

Congratulations on your Fantasy Football Championship……

15-0 and you beat my Arse in the championship game!

Well done. I look forward to redemption next season

It was a valiant effort from a worthy adversary.

 

[Orange.]

Why doesn’t the army of fools stirring up these lies about Spyre instead flood the internet with the same stupid and baseless allegations about NIL at Georgia and Bama? Or other SEC rivals?

Why be so stupid and gullible? I’m sick of stupid.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

So Squirrel is going to Bama and MM was influenced by vol twitter?

You’re underestimating the stupidity of many in this fanbase

Dalton Santos too. How many recruit threads went on forever and the player ended up being a bust? Seems like more than not

This!!

ESPN Fantasy picked me to finish 12th (last) and I started the season 0-4. Finished the season with a 12-1 championship victory run via early trades and clutch waiver wire pickups.

Basically the Titans should hire me. I couldn't do any worse than Ran Carthon.

After my draft I was picked to finish last, with 1 win on the season.

I finished third..... If I made one move different in the semis I wouldve been in the championship round.

The winners team went crazy tho, so definetly wouldve finished second.

Jacobs was the 3rd. Ended up at Florida. Autry went to Miss St, Jacobs to Florida, and we got Sentimore.

Sounds like he is looking for any reason to not come back.

Not sure how we got here, but, still feel the root of this is on Kelsey Pope and staff.

 

[UTSuave’]

Miss this fire on the team so bad

Hit the treadmill for a 350 cal burn and trying to find the motivation to whip out the bench... For those that aren't aware...

In April I was at 236 lbs and slightly feeling down after recovering from bruised ribs in my old man soccer league. Decided to get my ass in gear. I'm down to 190 without any shots. Just being more aware of calorie intake and exercising with two goals in mind:
Improve the abysmal mile time of 11:45
Get under 200 lbs

When one plateaued, the other improved. I'm at:
8:20 for a mile
190lbs. New goal is 175 and then the scale won't be a focus.

That's been why I've been absent a lot this year.

Congratulations!
I have been a lump of coal for a year. Kinda overwhelmed by work and family issues. Unusual for me but it manifested as just not wanting to do anything. Work, come home and sit on the couch until bedtime. So in addition to being a slug, I also started eating more. I hit 235 from 208 with none of the new weight being good.
Thank goodness for snow skiing as a motivation. I get to go skiing 3 times this year. I did in 2024 as well, but I just went without my normal workout for skiing. I would ski 1/2 day and be done. (Prior years I start when the lifts open and ski until the lifts close). Didn’t enjoy it but didn’t feel like making a change.

Well, I have been working out for a month and I have not felt this good in over a year. Feeling overwhelmed sucks and it just sucks the life out of you. My cadio favorite is rowing. An hour of rowing burns 700-800 calories depending on the resistance setting. I have a spring in my step, none of the insurmountable problems seem as bad.

We go skiing 1/6-1/10 and I can’t wait!

It’s amazing to me how much of a difference a little bit of exercise can make (relatively).
Sometimes the hardest part is getting started and then staying committed for that first week or two. Once the energy level changes, then it gets easier.

I have used Fitbit activity trackers for years, but they are relatively fragile. My latest one bit the dust and I decided to change. I asked for a Whoop fitness tracker for my birthday. I really like the Whoop as it not only helps track calories, steps, and sleep, but it monitors your recovery as well. It suggests more rest or more exercise depending upon your body recovery status. It can help you find the sweet spot for training. It can help prevent overtraining too.

I’m not focused on a weight goal as much as a lower body fat percentage. I will add weight training to my regimen once I finish this first ski trip.

It’s a great day to be alive!
It’s always a great day when you are a Tennessee Volunteer. I forgot that for a while.
