Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

This is the only team that was really our best. It’s been getting more watered down ever since….and look at little Charles Barkley.

I suppose you do need at least one mediocre player to go along with all those hall of famers.

Notice no one wants to buddy up to Laettner? Such a punk.

Team USA was outscored 16-2 to finish the game in a loss to France. Yikes.

it's Sunday and I'm headed to church soon to ask forgiveness

was Pantone 151 even a color back in the day?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Its just gas it will pass. He didn't do anything special in MI.

His offensive line was terrible. I’m not making excuses for him but the kid basically was asked to either throw the ball or run the ball every single play…. It was insanity. No offensive balance to Michigan’s attack when he was the QB.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Both OK an Texas fans are already talking about moving the SEC championship game to Austin or Norman. . .

See them in Atlanta…. Oh wait…. No we won’t because they won’t make it.

 

[drvenner]

It's garbage

There has been very little wokeness so far. Covid has had some impact, but not awful so far. I agree it is not the same as it normally is. I am still going to watch as much as I can, cheer for our athletes who have worked their asses off for years, and enjoy it.

Badminton is wild.

Lol..good luck with that..it will be the call of the century if it comes through.

I meant he kid can definitely sling a football. He can also run and isn’t afraid to lower his shoulder to get the first down.

If Huepel is who we think he is regarding QBs, he could make Milton into something.

08 team was just as good.

 

[drvenner]

No idea what the actual truth is, but a journal from a Mexican officer that was supposedly at the Alamo claims he surrendered and was executed because Santa Anna said take no prisoners. But there are certainly other accounts as to how it happened as well. One of the fascinating things about history is we're never quite certain how exactly it all went down.

The winner always writes it.

Idk if I have nostalgia glasses on but it looks like team USA (basketball) doesn’t try nearly as hard as the 2008-2016 teams did.

Well, why would they want to after what we have been told about our country over the last couple of years?

 

[drvenner]

I was talking to a coworker the other day about similar, but more related to the workforce....instant information, instant gratification, (much) less loyalty, mercenary mentality, etc. It really is an attitude and/or mentality of today, it seems.

I'm definitely a Vol. By birth, a Vol. I've seen a lot of good and a lot of bad. And all the bad hasn't just been this last decade or so....sorry to disappoint the younger folks. There were bad times back in the 70s and early 80s. It didn't matter. We were Vols, so we did Vol things. We went to the games because we loved the Vols, the fans, the tailgating, and yes. the pagentry and the pride and the tradition and all it entails.

While I'm typically a purist at heart (don't even get me started on MLB, cross division play, DH, etc.), let them all join. I don't care. It won't change my fandom of the Vols at all. Every Saturday, I will either be there or watch on TV or listen to (meh) Kesling on the radio or innerwebs, cheer for my Vols, hope we win, and enjoy the games and the people representing my hometown team. Corny, I know. I'm old. Get off my lawn.

Johnny couldn't beat Alabama until he did. Four times in a row, to be exact.

Pretty sure Laettner was the college player on the team that year.

It was the summer before his rookie season. They chose him over the Big Diesel.

If I'm not mistaken they had a policy to chose a college player for the first Dreamteam. Can't remember when that stopped.

Well now that college football is headed towards something completely different, it's still nice to see at the end of an era -

UGA: 1980
Tennessee: 1998

An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard, and a German were in a large crowd, straining to see a magician doing a card trick. The magician noticed and moved a little and said, " Can you see me now?"

The each responded: " 'Yes.' 'Oui.' 'Si.' 'Ja.' "

It took me a minute. I thought it was a joke about him being invisible and he wasn't.

Pretty TRICKY joke, you are quite the card.

I’m not saying they didn’t look prepared, but I am saying they looked pretty uninterested.

USA basketball..............

 

[Ten_Titans]

AP says HB is the most steady option at QB after calling him too inconsistent like 3 days ago. So there's that.
