Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I do both, office & field. I still do some labor if the morons don't know how to do something or if they screw something up and I want it done right. It was tough doing labor only. I didn't mind it at the time or realize just how hard I was working compared to the average person. In fact, I miss those tough work days sometimes.

I am similar. Keep my pouches onsite in case I need to use them or just feel like it. Always have to build stairs etc because my amigos can't do the math and build them to code. Its fun to put the phone on airplane mode for a while and put tools on...its backache or headache 😆.

Don't know about you, but my body would really struggle to go back to building all day every day. I work out a couple times a week, but it isnt the same. I can still kill it for a couple days when my boss has a sidejob for a family member or something and wants me to cut for him all day...but then i am sore for a couple days after that and my back hurts a lot. Very happy to supervise now instead of building all the time. You are correct in that a good worker giving all they have in construction works at least 10x as hard as most folks. We don't take breaks, or stop to socialize, and definitely do not pull out phones and scroll. We work til lunch, break, then work til quitting time. Most people have no idea and arent cut out for it.

Well that’s what you get when a fan base isn’t serious about winning.
You blame it on the fans. Well where's the big money donors at?

Oregon has Phil Knight
Texas has the Oil Men
Hell Virginia got a tremendous amount of money from Serena Williams husband.

Fans can only give so much of their income and many can't, call out the big wheels before the average fan..
 
Hawaii was settled by Polynesians. So true native Hawaiians are of Polynesian descent.
And what are polynesian descendants?

DNA says from the island of Taiwan and Phillipines.

And they came from the "Near East"

And them from Africa.

All to say (likely through multiple waves, not one big push and with a solid mix with Neanderthals and Denisovans) we're all just Africans...

Oh I don’t place all the blame on fans. But a big chunk? Yes. I find it hard to believe we don’t have say 200k fans who could afford say $25/month. Hell most people spend twice that much at Starbucks every week.

Since we don’t have the big money men, why can’t the fans step up a little bit more?

Yeah, we are supposed to be the Volunteer state so let's volunteer some money to make it happen. I'm all for it.

12-3 Houston that high raises major concerns about KenPom now.

Haven’t beaten a ranked team and lost to San Diego State on a neutral court.
They're also #3 in NET.

No metric uses AP rankings, more fluid and reasoned than that.

I'm guessing 5 Quad 2 wins helps them, as do margins and very close losses. Losing by 30 will haunt us a bit, but hey we're still #4 in NET and that's the standard regardless.
