Recruiting Football Talk VIII

What about the players that actually want to play during their college career?

I'm not sure of the specifics. They can transfer after 2 years of if they get cut. I don't think it's unreasonable for freshmen and sophomores to not play early in their college careers. Typically at least. Not sure in the NFL if players can break their contract with their current team and just go and play for another team the next week. I know players force their teams to trade them all the time so they could force a coach to cut them to enter the transfer portal. Not sure of any specifics with what should be done but any sort of deterrent from the massive free agency at the end of each season and the possibility of a player just leaving mid season like the UNLV QB would be a start.
 

Hey Sally, I let my street dog in from the cold as you recommended. Also let him drink a quart of oil to warm up. But he was nosing through the trash and apparently got into some Viagra I threw away which I realized I didn't need since I'm already a horny, well-hung dude. He also has a little bit of Mississippi Leg Hound in him and I'm wearing short pants and he just grabbed my leg and is going to town. Is it best at this point to just let him finish?

OK, listening to the 'Hooker' this morning regarding losing another highly valued portal target on the OL to Oregon. We also lost the one to LSU. Concerns about the portal? Could be Heupel being smart about choosing where the money is spent, or maybe just not enough money. I know we've discussed our NIL a lot.

Worked construction for 30 years. Started full-time at 17yo. Heat is worse, for that exact reason. Dehydration is the real threat and will kill you if you're not careful from heat stroke. When I used to build all day I would drink water/gatorade all day long and still have to drink about a gallon of fluids after work just to be able to pizz for the 1st time since morning during the summers in Charlotte. It would be brown in color. You have to get back hydrated enough to at least pee a little bit though or heat stroke will get you the next day from starting at a deficit. Laying brick all day we simply sweated out water faster than our bodies can uptake the fluids we drank. Your body does that trying desperately to keep you conscious and alive. When you spend the whole summer dehydrated like that, your blood is so thick that cuts and stuff don't bleed much. That part is good. Gotta be really hard on the heart though. If i had to wager, i think a massive heart attack is probably what will take me out. Put a lot of stress on it pumping Ragu through my veins while laying 1000+ brick per day during all those summers. I hate June,July, and August. The rest of the year is OK. October is best, best weather and football season 😄
10/10 would rather cut downed trees and even run a tractor in the winter than summer. Every winter I think "gawd whens it gonna be warm again". Then summer comes and I'm beggin for winter
 
Well, I, for one, am totally confident in the scientific prowess of "moms for america" and whatever "lab" they paid to give them the results they sought to make the Girl Scouts' cookies look unhealthy. Crazy how M4A always finds this bad stuff from organizations and companies they're ideologically opposed to, and not ones they're aligned with. Must be coincidental.

Anyway, bold to assume the people were eating GS cookies because they thought they were healthy....

OK OK. Just give me Tagalongs and nobody gets hurt.
 
The FDA does not really test foods before they go to market.

That said, I don't super trust the conclusions.

"Lead is unsafe in any quantity" is technically true, I guess, but misleading. Trace amounts of lead are in all kinds of food. We dumped lead into the air for like 80 years. If you go looking for trace amounts, you'll find it.
There's measurable amounts of lead, like a significant amount, in ice cores taken from Greenland recently that correspond to the Roman Empire, and stop after the fall of the Empire.

The Romans were smelting so much lead it was leading to globally high airborne lead dust. And not EVERYONE went crazy.

But yeah, before non-leaded gasoline we were hitting or exceeding that level of lead consumption from inhalation and food. The Romans had it worse because theur dishware and utensils were made of lead, but you get the point. Lots of lead.

Hooker is a hack
He tries to start any type of fire possible
He’s bad for business and I wish Tennessee would run him off
 
Is there a chance Pearce comes back? The narrative on draft boards seems to be that his sack numbers, run defense, and weight all need to be better, but his underlying numbers (pff run def grade, win% in pass rush situations, etc.) actually make him the 2nd most impactful edge player in my system (behind only Abdul Carter). He missed on some sacks for sure, but that was with a lot more double-teams coming his way, and the win% tends to be MUCH more predictive of future sack numbers anyway.

If he comes back, my grades would have him down as the most valuable returning non-QB in college football.

I’d actually be pissed if he came back, solely because he should definitely go and get that first round money. 🤣🤣🤣

I think if he comes back the production will match the underlying numbers. If he's getting projections in the 15-20 range, I think it's very likely he could bump up to top 5 next year and double his bonus.
