Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[GoBigOrange86]

Led Colorado to National Championship in 1990 shared the title with Georgia Tech...

Believe Eric Bienemy was part of that team. Colorado won it for Sal Aunese their QB who passed away from Cancer.....

Played Tennessee that year in the Pigskin Classic, the two schools’ only meeting. 31-31 tie.

Colorado doesn’t have a ton of football history, but McCartney was legendary.

That game randomly showed up in my YouTube algorithm yesterday and I watched most of it. I’m glad ties aren’t a thing anymore.

Imagine if the U of Hawaii could get a huge donor base and start stacking the best Polynesians in the country on their roster.

Tbh I think that would be cool af

When I was a kid in the 90s, I thought all kids went to their state schools. In other words, I just assumed all Tennessee players were in state players etc.

Once it was explained to me how recruiting worked and the most talented kids got to essentially pick where they went to school, it blew my mind that Hawaii wasn’t a national power yet Nebraska was.

What kid picks Nebraska when you could go to Hawaii.

Sounds like writing is on the wall with Ekler. Levorn Harbin is on the road recruiting.

Staff continuity is an important part of success at the collegiate level. Changes are going to happen, but if a playoff team can keep a coaching staff in tact, it's a huge plus moving into the next season.

Do you work outdoors or where the weather effects you, like in a construction sites without heat or A/C?

Happy Monday

January 13, 2025: When you find that you are wearing thin, take some time for yourself to rejuvenate. Be kind to yourself, and give yourself a break. Put all of your worries away until you can see yourself as the Lord sees you. Remember that God is with you always. Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

RIP Bill McCartney.

Great coach, even better person. He and the Promise Keeper org he founded helped change my life back in the 90's.

Yes

Glenn can’t recruit but he can coach.

He can coach run blocking. I will give him that. His OLs have been very good at run blocking. But they are subpar at pass blocking. And he has trouble recruiting. At the very least, they need to find him his own Coach Chop who can help our OL pass block, and who can help in recruiting. Go out and find a good offensive analyst like that and put him on staff, and he can mask Elarbee's deficiencies.

I am mostly outside. It’s a good mix of field work and office work.

Curious how *we 'know' that he can't recruit?

Hawaiians have zero interest in American football. Their heritage is Filipino, Japanese, Portuguese, and Chinese primarily. Who will fund their NIL?

What bothers you more, the heat or the cold. . . or neither? I don't mind the cold once I'm actually moving around. . . but at least with the cold you can put some extra layers on to warm up or use a gas heater. If it's blazing hot, you're just gonna be hot, . . . anyway, construction sites seem to be colder or hotter than it actually is for some reason. I think it's a brain trick. When you go in a building, your mind is conditioned to think it's supposed to be cooler or warmer than outside.

On January 13, 1986, NCAA schools vote to adopt Proposition 48, a controversial regulation that mandates minimum high school grades and scores on standardized college entrance exams for student-athletes to participate in sports as freshmen. The proposition, which passes by a large margin, was not implemented until three years later

Proposition 48 required incoming freshmen to maintain a 2.0 grade-point average in the core curriculum of 11 courses in English, math and sciences as well as score 700 or more on the SAT or a 15 on the ACT. The SAT and ACT are standardized college entrance exams.

The day after Proposition 48 was passed, Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson walked off the court in protest before a game against Boston College.

"I've done this because, out of frustration, you're limited in your options of what you can do in response to something I felt was very wrong," Thompson said.

The NCAA has adjusted the regulations over the years, but it has remained in effect since 1986

Tourists

Nobody attends their games, and the time difference kills the TV market. When I lived in Hawaii, Monday night football was taped and delayed about 3-4 hours before it was shown on TV. The news stations would not announce the score of the game that was already over because then nobody would watch the taped game.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Looks a lot worse when you know what it was and where to watch.

Personally the heat affects me more. But I'm pretty sure I have POTS so it's easy for me to get dehydrated and have low electrolytes. I agree eith you on the cold thing. Plus, I enjoy being out in the winter hunting and not worrying about ticks and mosquitos, so I'm sure there's a psychological aspect to that too.

I hated cold weather most of my life but when I learned how to properly layer and prepare now I enjoy it

If I'm not mistaken, Hawaii's heritage is Hawaiian.

As much as they charge tourists, the state could easily fund the NIL with a Danny White tax on the tourons.
