Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Leeleesteeth]

You’re one of my favorite posters and a good person.

I should have kept my thoughts to myself.

Nah. Put them out there. We've all got to quit being so thin-skinned and looking for something to be offended about.

It's easy to ignore if you want.

I have other things more worthy of my precious time. Again, that is just me.

“40-year-old Jerry Smith, knew Etute, but they didn't say how”.

That’s the only thing that really bothered me. It could have been interpreted a million different ways and I used the race card. I jumped the gun.

And AGAIN, I’m sure he is guilty, I’m not taking up for him.

 

[Glitch]

It's sad. My only solution with College Football is to turn on the game at kickoff and not watch any pregame stuff or other ESPN crap.

I usually DVR the UT games and watch them that way. Easier to just zip through the mind numbing commentary if it starts.

 

[InVOLuntary]

3-star. Do not want.

Why? He's got that killer instict.

 

[Catbone]

Some more fuel:

Sorry if some of the dates are sort of arbitrary, conferences have had titles for different lengths of time.

Big 12 (1996-2005) - 6 different champions over 10 seasons

Big 12 (2006-present) - 2 different champions over 15 seasons


ACC (2005-2014) - 5 different teams over 10 seasons

ACC (2015-Present) - 1 team over 6 seasons


SEC first 10 years (1992-2001) - 5 different teams over 10 years

SEC next 10 years (2002-2011) - 6 different teams over 10 seasons

SEC (2012-present) - 3 different teams over 9 seasons. Bama 6 out of the 9


B1G - first 6 years (2011-2016) - 4 different teams over 6 seasons

B1G - last 4 years (2017-present) - 1 team over 4 seasons

Great work Devo. Sh*** broken and getting worse

Yeah. I just read the article. Unfortunately articles are written by media hacks who don't care how things sound in print.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Dang. I thought my comment would be the most offensive. You win.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Same way. I watched very little CFB after it was apparent that UT had s*** the bed last season.

I probably would have watched more if it had been better hoping to find someone to upset the big ones, but it very rarely happens anymore.

 

[TrippieRedd]

That was my only issue. And of course some had to flop their dick at me, like chill.

MODS DELETE DELETE.

He probably writing a whole ass story now

 

[InVOLuntary]

They are like a**holes. Errybody got one.

Some have more than one. Some are one.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Some have more than one. Some are one.

I’m both.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Great work Devo. Sh*** broken and getting worse

And you're just the young man with time and energy to get it fixed.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I vote @TrippieRedd switch from Indica to Sativa. Who's with me?

 

[UpstateVol613]

 

[Volsdeep4]

You obviously are. Look how upset you are right now.

Freshman VT football player Isimemen Etute has been arrested for murder of a Blacksburg resident.

He has since been suspended from the Virginia Tech football squad, the university said in a Wednesday statement.

Props to VT for suspending the player. But I hope they let him back vs Clemson at least.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

“Investigators said the victim, 40-year-old Jerry Smith, knew Etute, but they didn't say how. Etute was identified as a person of interest, and later charged with second-degree murder.”

might as well say, “We chose him because of his color, figured he did it”

In all seriousness though, RIP to the victim, prayers to all who knew him and I hope the proper punishment is made.

WTF..

 

[Devo182]

I have no idea what to do about it. One time transfer made it worse. NIL is going to make it worse also.

Expanding the playoff is a start, but even then, I doubt that fixes it. Bama, Clemson, and OSU are going to beat those bottom seeds 9 out of 10 times anyway.

Outside of the NFL miraculously moving to a "2 and done" model or making their own minor league...

The NCAA could make things more like the pros draft and take away signing spots from playoff teams. That feels a bit extreme, but most any pro sport has parity measures, so I don't see why college couldn't either.
