Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[KB5252]

I can't express how excited I am for this season. I'm still tempering my enthusiasm because I think we still need to improve the roster but this and next year could be damn special.

Any yall checked out the college football reddit page? Good stuff on there...however, so many of the fans on there are fans of multiple teams. Weird. Like 90% of them. Just saw one that's a Notre Dame and TN fan....

Absolutely brought to tears by a simple gesture from my daughter this evening. I wonder sometimes if I've failed her as a father, then she floors me...... She's been looking at games she could buy tickets to for this season......... She's a senior and told my wife she wants us to go to one more game before she goes to college......... I'm floored by this gesture. Looks like I'm going to have to find us some tickets, really want to take her to a night game, no way I'm letting her pay for this.

How do these guys get these many names to not take themselves seriously and chance a possible cringefest? Nailed it imo.

Never understood the angst over early season polls. I’ve watched college football for 40+ years and there’s one universal truth: If you keep winning, the poll ranking will take care of itself. 1998 is a great example.

Every poll leading up to the playoff selection is for viewership and clicks. If we keep winning, we control our destiny.

Tomorrow night is the return of Carrie Underwood singing intro to Sunday Night Football and yes I know it will be Thursday. Reportedly the beautiful woman makes $1 million dollars per week singing the Intro, so $16 million a year she makes for a 2 minute segment

Finished my fantasy draft, what do yall think of it?

I know the picture shows white / white / orange, but what’s with the dark wolf? If I didn’t see the uni picture in the top left I’d assume the combo was about to be black/gray, white and orange or some sort.

Happy Wednesday

September 4, 2024: It is time to reset and consider how you spend your time and energy. There are things you can do to maximize your effectiveness without overlooking things that are vital for your well being. It will require some planning before you forge ahead. Lean on God for wisdom. James 1:5-6 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

After 5 straight days of CFB, going thru withdraw symptoms..actually had to put on pair of pants and brush my teeth today. It was rough.

That subreddit is run by sycophants and actual unironic fans of Vanderbilt, They are well known to crap on the Vols at any opportunity and have done so many times in the past. If you like Reddit I’d recommend “r/ockytop”. It’s not very active compared to this site though.
