Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[DarthVol1]

January 10, 1982​

With 58 seconds remaining in the 1981 NFC Championship game, Joe Montana found Dwight Clark in the back of the Candlestick Park end zone for the winning score in a 28-27 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. "The Catch" is remembered as the signature play in 49ers history. It sent the team to its first Super Bowl and transformed the franchise as San Francisco went on to win four Super Bowl titles in the 1980s.

That was the game the Cowboys of my childhood officially died and the start of the end for Tom Landry.

What did I miss?…is this the chick that everyone is talking about who landed a job on espn out of nowhere?

The lady he is pseudo hugging got randomly thrown under the bus by a lady suing FS1. The lady suing FS1 claimed harrasment there including Skip Bayless offering her 1.5 million to have s3x.

So in her lawsuit she randomly calls out this female journalist as having slept with an executive to get a job and also of sleeping with on air talent. Basically sleeping her way to the top. That was who the guy I posted was hugging in an Hr appropriate way.

The meme i posted about the HR appropriate side hug is because he was the only personality this woman didn't drag through the mud. She said he was professional. So people have posted memes about him being a wise husband in a bad environment.

Rumor has it the Steelers still haven't found the QB of the future to wrap the franchise around.

I think I have a solution....

I would be so effing sad if this happened. Surely my Steelers aren't that stupid... right???

 

[SagginVawls]

I hope we get 7+ inches

@Glitch

This is all we have so far

I'm temporarily in Memphis. We got slammed. More inches than Miley Cyrus gets on a Friday night.

I've been a UT fan long time, and I remember the days when I was devastated when we lost. That feeling went out the window when I realized the sun came out the next day and the mailman kept delivering my bills.

I'll always be a "true UT fan", but in the end, they're just games and the won loss record does not affect my life in the least. I won't let it.

Sorry if that bothers you bud, but as Paul Harvey would say--good day

Our incoming new Voice of the Vols Mike Keith once called Tennessee football…”the most important least important thing in our lives”.
He was correct. Of the things that at the end of the day don’t REALLY matter in my life, Vol football is the most important one to me.

What's the status report in the Dayton, TN area?

I'm supposed to hunt sandhills Sunday and hoping we don't have to cancel

The lagway expectation among Florida fans is unbelievable. They are expecting a runaway Heisman Trophy campaign. Will see how fast they turn on him if he starts slow.

Lagway is going to be a good player but the hype is ridiculous. Don’t know if we beat the gators last year if Mertz doesn’t get hurt and Lagway takes over.

No. They are not that stupid. It's more likely that the Titans would extend Levis than it is that the Steelers would consider trading for him.

 

[drvenner]

I see contact. I’m not saying he crushed him but impeded his path to the ball

Agree to disagree. Appreciate the rational discussion.

 

[drvenner]

He makes it hard to hate on ND. It’s like when your kid does something stupid. I want to hate on him, but I can’t because he’s my kid. I want to hate on Freeman, but I can’t because he’s so damn likable. And I love what his QB was saying at the end about Jesus, loving God, and how he shouldn’t be on camera because he didn’t live up to his expectations. I don’t like ND, but I’m definitely pulling for them in a few weeks.

I thought it was incredible the way he handled the very questionable PI call. He laughed it off. He did not go apeshit and lose his mind. He had a discussion, knew he wasn't going to change any minds and figured out how to win. He does make it very hard to dislike ND.

I bet Ohio State fans minds would be blown if they saw it snowing in the tropical paradise of East Tennessee.

I can speak on this from personal experience.

I managed a public works department, with an annual maintenance budget of around $5M-6M. About $3M of that went into personnel (~20 people) and another $1.5M went into paving. That doesn’t take into account vehicles, equipment, signals, consultants, signs, etc. that were needed on a regular basis.

Despite that, we had 300-500 tons of salt, a brine maker, 5 plows to put on trucks, and about 7-8 trucks total that could treat roads.

Now tell me this. Why would I invest any more money into something that only affects the public 5 days a year, when I have to worry about keeping everything else up the other 300 days? Only a fool would make that investment. Now you know the decision-making of every city, county, and state road agency.


Those northern transplants can go back if it hurts their feelings so much. I think our fiscal responsibility is just fine.

Plus all those blow hards move here because our cost of living and taxes are so much lower. Some people just can’t figure out 2+2=4. I’ll help all of them pack.

 

[Devo182]

Good deal, Penn State is pretty damn low on my list. Between what went down there & Franklin being there they’re almost as hated as Bama & Gators.

Honestly Notre Dame winning it all would be fine by me, Freeman being the first Black head coach to win a National Championship would be cool. Seems a good dude.

Yeah I'd pull for ND over OSU.

Texas-ND, I wouldn't mind either a lot.

Hubbs thinks Banks and Martinez will be back. Also thinks Kurt Schmidt (S&C coach) will return. Said Ek to Nebraska is one to watch. All of their contracts expire at the end of January. Said Boo's involvement in the offense will depend on his ability to process and understand the schemes. The plan is to use him extensively. This is from an interview on The Zone today. FWIW

 

[Devo182]

Beck to UK?

Per Richard G West……..

Now his real trolling can begin, since he dropped a few truthbombs.

This is his Masterclass Season 2

Just a couple of inches half way from Atl to Athens

 

[tnvols72]

What's the status report in the Dayton, TN area?

I'm supposed to hunt sandhills Sunday and hoping we don't have to cancel

about 4 inches right now

 

[Devo182]

Who we playing against?! Because that's a whole lot of shooters/ballhogs and only 1 big man. So I'm looking for passers, rebounders, and defense to balance out.

I take Shaq for that very obvious reason.

MJ and Lebron for obvious reasons.

I guess we need Curry to run point, though Lebron could too. I'll still take Curry, he extends our court nastily and passes.

Bird/KD is a bit of a toss-up for me, but I'll go with Bird for his passing abilities.

Sorry Kobe. We only have so many shots to go around. Also, where's Magic?

C - Shaq
PF - LBJ
SF - Bird
SG - Jordan
PG - Curry


Cut:
- Kobe
- Then KD

Well this pretty much means no change at OC, WR or OL coach. Guess he thinks Halze, Pope and Elarbee are all good to go. Loyal to a fault.

Simple as pie. Cut KD and Steph. Start LBJ, Kobe, Shaq, Bird and the GOAT.

Already thinking about next season….

That was my exact lineup and yes, I'd put in Magic over Curry. But Curry would be first in if I had a bench.
