Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Vols4us]

GeauxVols - if you see this. Our daughter said her friend and kids left Thibodaux to get out of there. Her husband has to stay due to being on the city police force. It has started there and they expect it to be a 3 when it hits full force.

Pray for folks down that way, VN.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

St Louis or baby backs?

So Hodge joins Maurer in the portal. Wonder how many more will leave? And I don't mean that in a negative fashion. Sometimes you have to trim the chaff. Wish Whitehead would switch to LB. If he doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the portal eventually. I don't think the former staff did any favor to these guys by promising to play them in positions that weren't necessarily their best position.

It's going to be a rough ride from the looks of it.

She says that you can put the pill deep in the cat's mouth (like, the throat) and spray with water. They are really good at spitting stuff out though.

She also says that Benadryl probably won't help. The cat needs eye drops from a vet.

I’m taking him Monday. He’s acting fine, so I can’t justify the extortion price of the emergency vet for him.

But I just found a trail of ants around their cat food by the front door. Had to shift all their stuff across the apartment so I could spray Raid down.. and they still won’t stop going near the area. It’s dry now so they’ll be fine, but Jesus man. Cats are uncanny at always doing exactly the opposite of what you want them to do.

The statement he got stuck with Martinez is false, he wanted Martinez as his QB. He pushed hard to flip Martinez away from UT.

He recruited him 3 years ago bud. He benched him each year at some point. His other QBs transferred and he thought he could get Milton. He didn’t and got nobody. Therefore the stuck comment

He's 18-28 without the perfect season.
Also, if you look at UCF's history, they strangely seem to have a bad season, followed by a very good season. This happened plenty of times before Frost and they look a lot like the 6-7 season followed by the 13-0 season.

Seasons before Frost:
O'Leary 0-11, 8-5, 4-8, 10-4, 4-8, 8-5, 11-3, 5-7, 10-4, 12-1, 9-4, 0-12, Frost 6-7, 13-0

If you take out Frost's name from the list, it just looks like what UCF had been doing for years.

TY. That's good analysis. And after 3 years and 1 game, he has not won as many games at Nebraska as the one year at UCF. Ouch.

Goes to what I mentioned yesterday to someone. I think my frustration was valid. The whole ordeal was a communication flaw that goes back months. My understanding of my role in the project was X, and he expected me to do XYZ. So as it turns out, he was mad at me for not having completed that list of things. I was mad that he threw that on last-minute because I had no idea I was expected to have done those things.

Going to talk with him tomorrow or Tuesday to square the whole thing away and move past it. But I still have to get all that done, and he slapped a huge report to be due Friday on top.

You have done well to break it down to the communication problem and lack of clarity on expectations. Also, that’s the best approach to discuss it with him one-on-one. It will make for a better work environment moving forward for both of you.

I don’t think the position is the problem with either player….. I don’t think either one has the heart/work ethic to be a player at the D1 level.

 

[Brillovol]

Looks great man! That’s almost exactly my process too minus two things… I only ever do salt and pepper on briskets, and I haven’t used foil at the cooler part. Usually keep it in the same butcher paper it was wrapped in on the grill and wrap it in the towel when it goes in the cooler. Is that finished product picture the bark after the foil wrap or before it went in the cooler? Always heard foil can spoil the bark but honestly never really tried it and always used butcher paper.

That’s before the cooler and foil. It’s not any different after it. I mostly use the foil to not get the towels greasy and to hold the heat in better. One other strategy I could use is to wrap the foil around the paper. That would work equally well and maintain juiciness.

Talked with him this morning. He’s riding it out.

Yeah I think South Carolina and Pitt are both true coin flip games. I'm still hoping to go to the Carolina game

Pitt is a coin flip. We will crush SC! We beat them last year on the road and played Pruitt ball and played it poorly. Yet, we still won.

225 degrees 2 hours unwrapped, 2 hours wrapped in brown sugar, honey and couple pats of butter, 1 hour unwrapped last 15 mins sauce. I normally cook mine on a Weber smoky mountain without the water pan. I love the smell of fat and juice hitting coals.
As far as seasoning, whatever you like. Lather mustard and put on seasoning.

I still want to know what you texted your boss.

Man, this hits a little too close to home

Chatelain: If Scott Frost fails to redeem Nebraska, what's left to try?

I'll definitely give it a go. Thanks.

Thanks for the update. Best of luck to the family, and the rest of us.

Let me know what you think. I use different woods but my favorite is hickory. Throw a couple chunks in there once you got temp set

My little brother is a commercial fisherman. He’s currently on his boat behind a levee in Golden Meadow.

Time for the brisket process.

First, we start with an untrimmed 17 lb brisket from a local butcher shop.

View attachment 390126

As you can see, there is a lot of fat and it’s generally not well-shaped. So I cut back the fat quite a bit, shaped it considerably, and partially separated the point from the flat. I would guess I cut off 2 lb of excess. After seasoning with salt, pepper, and some Meat Church Holy Gospel rub, it looks like this…

View attachment 390127

I threw it on at 4 pm last night to have it ready for lunch today. Nursed it overnight at 225° and wrapped it at midnight with pink butcher paper. Best combination of bark and moisture, IMO. So I wasn’t stressing during church and to give it ample rest, I pulled it off this morning at 7 am…

View attachment 390129

You can clearly see the point and flat, which was easy to separate since the remaining fat deckle was rendered so well. I take the flat, wrap it in aluminum foil, and throw it in a cooler with towels to hold in the heat. Next, I take the point and dice it up into 1” cubes, toss it with seasoning, toss it again with sauce, then smoke it for another hour to create burnt ends. Here is the finished product…

View attachment 390130

Pull the burnt ends off the smoker, seal it with aluminum foil, put it in the cooler with the flat, and then we’re off to church. Lunch will be served at 12:15 pm for all who want to come over.

I expect you at my house on 9/9 maybe 9/10. I have an extra room for you to sleep. Bring your smoker. On gameday my smoker and another buddys will be filled with ribs, sausage and other meats.

I think Jamey Chadwell from Costal Carolina would fit really well at Nebraska… he recruits well in terms of conference ranking and runs a very modern spread option system from the pistol. It’s very balanced and effective even against the better teams they play. Another name for that job for me would be Wisconsin Defensive Coordinator Jim Leonhard. That guy can absolutely coach and has turned down Alabama’s DC opening (right after the 2017 season when Pruitt left) turned down A&M’s and turned down FSU’s. Also just turned down the Packers DC opening. He’s bound to land somewhere and he’s really young

He’d probably do well here too… we may wish we had him. Our current coaches has a really good guard playing tackle. I have my doubts

I have hickory. I'll use and let you know. It sounds good, hopefully I don't jack it up somehow.

 

[Kingston Vol]

This is an interesting take. I wonder how many good coaches get fired because the program sucks? Not saying that's the case for Frost, but it's hard to tell sometimes if a coach is bad or not a good fit or the program just can't be fixed.

I think it’s especially true for programs that are past their primes and each fanbase hasn’t accepted it as reality yet. I don’t think that’s the specific case for Frost because he has been given a lot of time - it’s probably more applicable to some of his predecessors.

Should have been the hire.
