Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolsDoc81TX]

Tennessee beat AL 11-0 today! Tennessee National Championship in tennis! Basketball recruiting going great for a coach I like. Like the football coach for the first time since PF was coaching and can't wait to score a lot of points! One happy cheerleader! Go Vols! (The miserable people can go somewhere else voluntarily or by the press of a button!)

You have a whole crew of happy cheerleaders right there with you Cap!

Even if we lose today, still have the CWS to wait on

And any loss we incurre will strictly fall on your shoulders for not getting that haircut.

Wesley Snipes or Omar Epps?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I watched this clip on repeat over and over and over again...

So maybe for this decade to be ours, we just needed to right a catastrophic wrong and dump a cheating gump?

Hey gumps,
Tennessee is coming for you in every sport. And even Birmingham can’t save you this time... time for us to retire another gump.
Majors retired the Bear. Fulmer showed spurrier the door. CJH gonna show saban the path to retirement. Maybe not this year but we’re coming. In every sport!

I agree with Chicago on this one

The baseball team has some skinny dudes that hit absolute bombs.. idk how they do it, but it’s working.

They have all excelled in the mandatory physics of baseball course taught by CTV...

I seriously think there could be a 30 for 30 on how many games tennessee has won, then lost over the last decade or so

You’re nuts

 

[butchna]

This chili thing is already wearing thin for me.

Passed that point 14 exits ago.

You’re nuts!

You’ve had it and still think that way?

 

[UTMVol76]

Yep. Personal preference I guess, but I can’t stand it. I love giving folks from Cincy hell about it, they get emotional about it

 

[headhunter15]

Speaking of chili...

My family and I visited Cincy in 2018. The men of the family liked the chili. The women, especially my wife hated it.

On that note, they put a Petro’s in by my work. Tastes like being at Neyland!

Kinda my thing. Volunteer coached both at the middle and HS level in baseball and golf. So here goes...

Swing speed and arc tied to leg push against the ground - similar to golf. Square the barrel on the ball just like squaring the club head in the right spot on the driver face to produce the least spin you can. More technique and less power. A lot of smaller guys use free swinging, long arcs, lateral body movement, front leg kicks, spring effects (jumping up from the ground at impact), etc. to add power. That's how the smaller guys can boom it in both sports. But there are nuances for each player's swing.

Rotational swings start with a bracing against the back leg in the stance in both sports. They then unwind like a top while moving the body forward into the ball. You may hear it referred to as staying behind the ball to the moment of impact when the arms fully extend. In baseball it can be done with high, low or no front leg kicks. Think Mike Trout - a generational legend already. He uses a kick in games and none in batting practice. In golf in this swing you stay firmly rooted to the ground like tree trunks with your legs. The front knee may stay still or rotate a bit behind the ball in the backswing as long as the foot remains planted. I use this later method in my golf swing today and have never played better. Takes the pressure off the rotators.

Shorter swings or those with less arc need more muscle from the primary muscle groups associated with the swing in each sport. In any type swing, moving the head up and down is less likely to produce good results except when doing some version of squatting the body at impact. Tiger used this well for a time as did Jeff Bagwell in MLB with his back leg knee bend. Tiger has also used the spring effect until his knee would not let him anymore like Justin Thomas uses now. Despite being small, JT has a lot of arc with his upright swing that gets added to the spring effect.

There are lots of ways to pound it no matter your size. TWSS

I’m only 25, so needless to say I hate Florida a lot more than alabama. I will be at a bar in spartanburg if anyone else lives around here and wants to raise hell.

Same…hate Florida more than every other SEC team and it isn’t close. I will be on Lake Bowen. What time do we play? I think they have WiFi.

I can generally get a bit (3-4 slices) in even on my fat loss phase. Last night just one though… I chose to eat almost everything else in the house

 

[volbeast33]

As in for the drug's and baseball's entire existences.

100%.

Don't get why people think baseball is/was such a pure sport. Littered with scoundrels and rules breakers since its beginning that the leaders helped or at least looked away.

The only thing about the steroid era that really made me mad was the fact that MLB knew about it, encouraged it.... benifited from it..... then acted shocked and that they were going to clean up the sport.
