Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[drvenner]

If we lose out and still retain Pruitt, I will check out next year.

Thanks for letting us know. I was very worried about that.

 

[bignewt]

didn't like 3 kings.

did like Jarhead.

I would say I think the best depiction of the Iraq war is Generation Kill, the HBO series. They straight nailed it. So good.

never saw that.......i'll check it out when i sign back up for HBO one day

 

[drvenner]

Ok...that's tough and subject to change but

1. Goodfellas
2. Big Lebowski
3. Apocalypse Now
4. Royal Tennenbaums
5. Boogie Nights
6. Pulp Fiction
7. Old School
8. Mad Max Fury Road
9. The Shining
10.Animal House

Disappointed you don't have Reservoir Dogs there. I think it's better than Pulp Fiction.

They should’ve opted out then found somewhere else to play next year. All these high schools in our area had players begging to play. Trey Smith has a real condition but he WANTED to play. Shouldn’t make them play or ever have them play. I played once with over a 102 temp. Even if no Covid, several of these guys wouldn’t. A little too concerned with their safety.

@JacketVol i love it when you get worked up anytime Pruitt is brought up!..it makes me not feel as alone anymore when discussing our chemistry issues and the problems this staff has at hand someone in here is Going to say the wrong thing one day and get you mad enough to where you start spilling the real tea that you had no intentions of spilling.I’m definitely here for it.

How about:
Gladiator
300
Joker
Goldfinger
Oceans 11
Ben Hur
A Perfect World
Dr Strangelove
The Green Mile
Inception
Raising Arizona
The Cowboys
Dances With Wolves
I Am Legend
Django

*I can't stop thinking of movies now

Edit:
** If Hugh Freeze was the our coach, I guarantee you we wouldn't be in here posting movie lists.

GBO

Yeah, we would be posting about why Fulmer won’t fire Freeze since Coach X is available.

Tony B put out some stats this morning at just how bad the offense has been. Out of 120 teams, the UT offense is:

114th in plays of 10 or more yards
112th in yards per play
88th in red zone offense
108th in passing yards per game
119th in third down conversion rate

Man look at this BS Tony B is putting out this morning guys it’s ridiculous.can y’all confirm? @MarcoVol @Devo182 @BruinVol

 

[Gilbert]

Here are some defensive numbers out of 120 teams:

71st in allowing plays over 10 yards
91st in third down conversion rate
87th in yards per play allowed
118th in defensive Havoc (sacks, tackles for losses, forced fumbles, batted balls, etc ... the things that predict turnovers)
115th in stuff rate(stopping 3rd and 2, 4th and 1, etc)

I love Dogs but Pulp Fiction is superior. Dogs is too contained, Pulp Fiction really opened up the Tarantino world and the structure is genius.

CC: Slim Chaney
Sub: Hyatt option

 

[drvenner]

Holy crap seeing those boxing movies in there I totally whiffed on the greatest ever, Raging Bull. It is #3 on my list, please make appropriate adjustment.

Raging Bull is incredible. Love that movie.

 

[HankHill]

Also DK metcalf is such a weird case. Will be the first to admit i would’ve stayed away from him in the draft even in round 2.

His measurables and speed didn’t match his game tape at ole miss at all.

I have not rewatched either in a good while. Maybe I will this weekend and re-evaluate

tried to watch. was good for a couple episodes. BoB spoiled us in that format.

Have you seen Four Rooms? Pretty good and I love QT's vignette.

report back. I would probably even put Kill Bill head of Dogs.

 

[bignewt]

Yes. Fun seeing the different director styles.

 

[bignewt]

at least you tried. I think it captures the chaos of that war especially well. It was a different war than WWII and the mood, characters, everything mirror that to perfection.

It’s almost like our offense sucks AND our defense sucks. Can you confirm @UTSuave’ ??

 

[drvenner]

Good list. LOTR is the best by far. Add stand by me in there and I could roll with this.

This is why I cannot make movie lists. Every time someone names one I forgot about, I would have to reshuffle.

 

[drvenner]

Like Henry Rowengartner’s elbow injury in the Rookie of the Year, JG getting his bell rung is going transform him into Patrick Mahomes.

Funky Butt-lovin!!

Well I had the over in the Tulsa game at 55

Tough break

Which “defensive mind” stat are we looking at here
