Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Ten_Titans]

How hard is it to just randomize the gun delay? You really think an arbitrary amount of reflex time is better than that? You must be one of those people who believe every rule and law was fully fleshed out and researched because the establishment couldn't possibly be made up of ignorant or lazy or biased people.

You must be one of those people that think because you half brained an idea in 2 seconds, you have outsmarted an entire international sporting body in your infinite wisdom.

But okay. Off the top of my head.

1) The cadence is already random at the scale of tenths of seconds, which is what we are talking about.
2. Now matter what you increase the cadence to, it is still technically possible to time it.
3. Any athlete that exceeds the current known limitations of human reaction time will be under immediate scrutiny, as people will assume corruption between the athlete and the person with the starting pistol.

Under the current rule set, the timing of the starting pistol is irrelevant... As intended.

Pearce @ #27. . . big shoes to fill.

Q Crouch? (I kid)

 

[Weezer]

Rounds 11-20 of the MLB Draft tomorrow. Finished for today.

 

[WillAtSpyre]

I love the look of 44 at MLB. Excited for Elijah. Great kid.

What a depraved monster!

To now giving back with this:




It’s like medicine for the soul and a glimpse of what’s truly good in this world.

T.S. Eliot said April was the cruelest month. He was wrong. July is just brutal. It’s been almost 7 months since we saw our Vols on the field. Recruiting has slowed way down. No sporting events that are worth a damn. July. July is definitely the cruelest month. So ready for football.

At least you agree with a portion of his explanation of the cruelty: "mixing memory and desire"!

 

[Orange.]

It is not French's. So it is probably a fake.

Definitely fake. And you'd think by the time he was that old his mom would have carpeted her basement.

We’ve had 9 players drafted so far. Gonna be tough next year to replace all of that.

We are still going to have a really good roster…and if Crawford hadn’t been drafted so high, maybe #1 again.

You're welcome.

The last time I saw one of the chump's posts (here), he was floating on a raft with a chick and forming an "L" with the floats. He was out there guaranteeing a win against... Louisville. I really don't think anyone can troll him more than he trolled himself.

The bold would seem to invalidate the entire issue and further delegitimize the entire ruling against the player.

"We DQed you for timing something at a randomized scale."

I don't have any dogs in the hunt, but that dog doesn't seem to hunt.

Quavaris Crouch?

No dog here either but that's a good point. Seems it would make more sense to just have them run the race and then deduct their reaction time from it if it's deemed too fast.

Not a track guy, by any means, but what the hell. It's a slow day in July.

Seems to me we need a rule against fake injuries.

Why does that dude tweet to reporters when he is not busy subtweeting recruits he missed on?

 

[Orange_Crush]

Dang... UK coaches getting in Twitter spats with journalists about opinions? Is it just me, or does that reek of thin skin? (I mean, I don't even think thin-skinned-Butch did that...?) Seems to me they'd have better things to keep them occupied.

Kind of feels like someone needs to take his phone away and get him on task. A certain amount of stoicism seems appropriate for that level of coach...?

LOL, now your take is that they implemented this to prevent collusion between the gun and the athletes?! Goodness, we've arrived at far fetched.

If athletes want to gamble on false starting with a 0 strike policy and a multiple second window, fine. All the ones that matter would make the smart choice and wait for the gun.

And for the record, two collegiate and 1 international track people I talked to confirmed that this rule is considered arbitrary and asinine in their community. I'm sure you think the ncaa, etc...are infallible too with all their stupid rules, but sometimes something is just obviously wrong.

I don't know what that's all about, but that gif is great.

Hehehe UT guy taking it to the fakes on national tv

Love it.
