Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[mr.checkerboards]

VN told me that Pitt wasn’t good….

They arent

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The coaches elected to come to Nashville and meet with him and discuss everything. Everything was good except Spyre. There's no way TCU should make a better offer than UT. Ole Miss I can understand they're SEC and Lane know how to mk it happen based on his experience as a lead recruiter and ROY at USC and Bama plus they have guys like Matthew McCaughey and oil guys who don't mind spending to win. TCU a Christian private school spanked UT and Spyre. Like to be very serious Zach don't care about free Gus chicken. He has to help make sure granny is OK.

So OM or is he interested in going back to TCU?
As far as UT I'm not surprised, Plowman has shown her true colors she's scared to get some fleas.

Hopefully you nor anyone you know will have to deal with this syndrome (which doesn't just "go away" the people who have it will always have it, it's just a matter of when it flares up or not).

The "too mentally weak to be a world class athlete" syndrome? I think most of us suffer from that, and not one of us have been on the cover of TIME magazine to celebrate that we suffer from it.

Decision on Auburn basketball coming from the NCAA today.

My guess is a reduction of 4 BBQs per year for the next 4 yrs.

Probably eleven years ago.
It’s been around for a minute. My now “adult kids” introduced me to that terminology when they were going into HS.

Yeah, I think it must've been just a couple or few years before "kick six" happened.

smokescreen!

Haha, they're in the smokescreen phase

Having the twisties is not being mentally weak lol

It's the "yips", correct? Having been defined as "a mental, non-physically caused inability to perform an athletic action?

Twisties: The twisties is an informal term used to refer to a certain kind of mental block that a gymnast can experience as they are in the air during a twisting skill.

So, the "syndrome" in question is the mental inability to compete as a world elite athlete? She is the one that classified it as a mental issue? Your preference for vocabulary aside, what did I say that was untrue? Almost every person on the planet is mentally unfit to be a world class athlete, and not one of us end up on the cover of TIME magazine to celebrate our ability to recognize it.

And, as someone who has close loved ones with bipolar and anxiety disorders, using "twisties" as a mental health issue to get some sort of gobal sympathy feels a bit offensive.

I mean over 30 medals in Olympic and World games, but yeah too mentally weak to be a world class athlete totally fits... I guess?

I deleted because I didn't want to take up this forum with it, I respect your stance.

completely forgot about the AU basketball thing

I mean I am sure it will be a slap on the wrist.

I believe she said it. Not me.

You/she can't have it both ways. You're calling her a liar, and it wasn't a mental (health) problem that developed?

probably so

Last I'll say about Simone Biles (shouldn't have even bothered commenting, I know the bulk of how most posters troll on here but oh well).

I don't know what goes on in someone else's head/body. Even things I myself have gone through may not be the same experience for someone else that goes through it. I also don't get all twisted up over media given awards that I have zero control over, I can disagree with them and not harp on it and be negative cause generally speaking I try to be an optimistic person. If I feel like someone is dragging me down I remove myself, I'm not going to bash them for who they are or bicker with them hoping they change. People are who they are, and I am who I am. So with Biles, with Dak, with Osaka and a host of other high profile athletes if they step forward to talk about mental health (which is a very broad term) and it's not something I consider mental health or something I'm familiar with I just try to empathize and educate myself about what it is they are going through.

With the "yips" or "twisties" or whatever people want to call it, I haven't gone through it so rather than let my personal experience or ignorance on the condition drive negativity I try to think if my son was trying to explain it to me as something he was dealing with what sort of response/compassion would I show him and want others to show him? And I lead with that.

I wouldn't have picked her for Athlete of the Year, but since it wasn't my pick to make I'm also not going to argue it like TIME is suddenly going to change their mind. What she went through in Tokyo doesn't diminish her accomplishments though and doesn't mean she's suddenly "too weak" that's just hate in your heart speaking and it's easier to do it anonymously about a high profile famous person you don't know, but we're all still people at the end of the day. Just love thy neighbor.

Biles win athlete of the year? listen ive defended her purported bravery, but that is silly. She very well may be telling truth. But, there are plenty of people, athletes with better stories.

Awesome analogy. Tennessee is the John McClain of the SEC. Outmanned, seems like a hopeless situation, but we just keep doing what we do and in the end, we will drop the bad guy off a building (bama) and our defense will shoot down the remaining bad guy to save the day (gators or dawgs, you make the call).

Die Hard is a great representation of our year.

Yippee kai ay mother effer! Vols are coming for all the SEC criminals. Don’t care how many sequels it takes.
