Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

He’s an awful in game manager. Terrible with pitchers. It’s true.

He’s one win away from winning it all after numerous decimating injuries, even during the postseason. You have to give him some serious props to get this team where they are and one win away from the world championship. Atlanta had the worst record of any team in the postseason. Give some credit where it is due.

I would guess Smiley/Chavez. I am pretty sure Ynoa is not on the roster for the World Series due to shoulder inflammation.

Could also see Minter going 3ish innings to open.

Nailed this take. I've been waiting for this show for so long that there's no way it will live up to what I want but the fundamental changes to the plot and stupid woke BS is probably going to infuriate me and make me feel like Jordan is rolling over in his grave. I also hate the idea of cramming 2000 pages of story into an 8 episode season, but I understand why they have to. Watered down woke shite that loosely resembles my favorite story is what I'm expecting.

I hope HBO converts more fantasy series to shows. They make great series and there is a huge market for it and so many great series. The Gentleman Bastards series would translate well.

The Black Company needs to be made ASAP. It was greenlit then news disappeared.

I am not reading Rothfuss unless he finishes it, I will check out The Iron Druid down the road, thanks for the suggestion, but right now I am four and a half books into my first re-read of the Wheel of Time and my adult onset adhd is killing me. I am struggling to read anything anymore no matter how much I like it.

I will say for those that haven't done it yet..WoT is even better the second time. There are soooo many foreshadowing details that I missed on the first read...Jordan was amazing.

I get it because its definitely frustrating but Rothfuss is great. The delay between book two and three has been so long that I've actually reread the first two a few times now and I think you pick up on more details each time. Great books!

My wife said I snored the house down last night. That's what contentment does. Cats and OM lost in beautiful fashion, then the Braves won. Manfred's pucker factor is hitting near a 10 now. Really good stuff.

Audiobooks & a desk job helps me get through em.

The Blade Itself trilogy (Joe Abercrombie) is really good. I didn't listen to that one but I did his other books and the narrator was great assuming its the same person.

Also listened to the Dresden Files books this summer. Loved them.

No doubt I do. They play for him, and he’s got loads of talent. But the primary place you see the influence of managers is in pitching management. He’s not good at it. Thankfully for him Wright bailed him out last night

Question: Any chance NCAA ruling comes down this month and we end up serving a bowl bad this season?

Surely not. He’s not used to that part of the game.

Brother, the Libby app is your friend

Absolutely! Love the Libby app and our local library system!

He did it last year against LA in the NLCS and pitched really well. 3 innings iirc?

He’s managed that bullpen to where they have been elite this postseason minus one bad inning from Luke. Trust me, I was in the same boat as you for multiple years, and you can look at my posts from the past about it. However, he has stuck by his guns and they have paid huge dividends this postseason.

Whatever Snitker decides, just have to trust it. He has pushed all the right buttons so far this postseason. I have questioned a few of them and they have worked out just fine.

 

[Volnukem]

I’m interested to see how well Michigan State does after Walker leaves. Tucker hasn’t done well as an HC prior to this year and Walker is the kind of guy that makes coaches look better than they are.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I wish we’d been more competitive with Florida. They’re nothing special.

we were competitive. we hve 0 depth. 0.

The king killer chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss needs to be made soon too. Probably would help if it didn't take a decade for the final book to come out. I wish the dresden series had a better bidget

Would be ultimate Tennessee

 

[ConwayFitty]

The Furies of Calderon series by Jim Butcher would be great translated to film.

He actually has done really well this postseason as I posted earlier. But that was a mistake starting the kid last night. Thankfully it didn’t blow up on us

Yeah, I can see that. We are the kings of getting screwed over. We have a good year, go 7-5 only to get a bowl ban.

I do not believe there will be a bowl ban.

 

[C-town Vol]

Folks, it’s Kentucky week. I hate they lost last night. Takes a little shine off the boat racin we’re gonna give them Saturday night.

It is extremely tempting because so many have told me the same thing, but I just can not and will not start another series until it is finished.

Hopefully Rothfuss does his job and finishes what he started and this becomes moot...I really do want to read it.

I'm going to let Sanderson get farther into his "Cosmere" and see how great he ties it all together before I start his books too, but from what I know of them, at least I think you can enjoy each of his series as standalone epics in his case.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Trying to work my way through Silmarillion right now.
Gotta be honest, it has some epic moments, but it also has some tough sledding.

I loved all of it...I don't get the tough sledding, but I'm thankful for that.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Get the Libby app for your phone/tablet and link it to your nearest library. You can read as many free books as you want.

I will check it out...thanks.
