Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Kevin Hart was the worst part of the NBA All Star game and that is saying a lot.
Knecht led his team in scoring.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Finished it up. While it was never as good as those first two seasons, I still enjoyed the rest of it, including the ending. The final scene was perfect.

The whole show was a little cheesy but I couldn’t stop watching it and really enjoyed it

Short bench or not you’ve got to play an SEC game with more energy than what we did the first half.

I agree. That just wasn't there issue being talked about.

 

[jakez4ut]

Which is exactly why the short bench is an excuse for poor effort.

I didn't offer it as such.

Byington had no issue finding capable offensive players in no time. Rick in a decade has shown he has no idea ab offense.

Byington’s “capable offensive players” have a losing conference record and are in danger of missing the ncaa tournament. Rick’s supposed incompetent offensive coaching and supposed incapable offensive players are a projected 2 seed. Which would you rather have?

 

[Smokey123]

It feels like whoever you expect to win rarely does… but this may be pearls best chance to ever win one

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Those guys were both drafted in the first round so it wasn’t a crazy limb to wander out on.

First of all there are plenty of QBs drafted in first round every year. Very few have 3 MVPs shared between them. I didn't simply say Allen and Jackson were the best QBs in that draft class. I rated them as generational prospects. And I think most would agree both are easily 2 of the 3 best QBs in the league right now and future Hall of Famers.

With that said, go read through that thread. Lamar and Josh being stars is a given now but in 2018 it wasn't that obvious. A lot of people thought Allen and Lamar were too inaccurate to be NFL QBs. Remember Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold were drafted ahead of Allen and even Josh Rosen went before Lamar who fell all the way to the last pick in the 1st round. It's total revisionist history to act like Allen and Jackson were anything close to sure things. It's not like I said Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck were gonna be studs.

I should also note I haven't rated any QBs since 2018 in the same tier as Dobbs, Allen, and Jackson. I have been pretty consistent is saying the drafts since 2018 have been weak especially at QB. So it's not like I hype up every new crop of young QBs that come into the league. I missed on Dobbs so far but I was absolutely right about Allen and Lamar.

Any other behaviors you mimicked? Public grass fertilization?

Hahaha. No. Also didn’t embrace the water v paper culture. Distinct differences in hygiene, but I believe America is in the global minority in that regard.

I say that tongue-in-cheek as someone with many Indian friends through academia. When you bring up an Indian stereotype they 1. Think its hilarious and 2. Say "That's South India, forgive them" to the bad ones. Almost all my friends are from North and Northwest India so they just blame the South for the bad stuff

Fudging their height as in most players are shorter or taller than they are?

Football does it too, im 6’0 even and when we stormed the field vs bama I walked past sampson and he maybe came up to my shoulder, as did several of the players with listed 5’11 or 6’0 heights

Im switching to baseball at 2:00. The basketball season is over.

Buddy.... frigid cold take

We have one of the highest offensive efficiencies in the country. Slightly higher currently than last year's. We ended up having 2 players score 20+ while Vandy had 1. In fact, Barnes knows so much about offense this team turned in a 50pt second half.

Y'all really need to chill out with the negative overreactions duringbthe course of a game.

Happy Monday - jealous of my peeps who are off today. Enjoy it.

Relative or Road trip?

A cake-loving opossum in Omaha, Nebraska, ate an entire Costco chocolate cake before wildlife rescuers admitted the "cranky" animal for recovery and diet rehab.

Kinda crazy to me that we were, in retrospect, a bogus roughing the punter penalty away from playing in the SECCG

Yeah. Would have been our first trip to Atlanta since 2007 for a shot at our first conference title in over a quarter of a century. Cannot believe it's been that long since we won the SEC. And even if we'd lost to tu, we'd have still had a home playoff game. Things would've been mighty different had we taken care of business in Fayettenam.

Costliest penalty in Vols football history

Assume you’re talking about ARK game.

Wasn’t called roughing. And wasn’t a bogus call bc he absolutely did run into the kicker.

5 yard penalty. Issue being it was 4th and 2.

Not me but I admire their tenacity.

I think it was bogus in the fact that we should have never called a punt block in that situation, for the exact reason that happened. Momentum completely changed that play and im still bothered by it
