Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[ACvol3]

We had a good run, but looks like we are fizzling out/striking out with remaining recruits on the board... hopefully we can still get Ramil, and a few other solid pickups before the end of the cycle... looks like we are adding some studs, but surprised we haven't landed a top-tier WR or DL... plenty of EDGE but not really any true DT's... Hopefully the portal will be our friend again...

Anyone on the board still that I am missing? Another DT, WR, LB, and CB would hit the spot!

We have no idea who all is actually on the board. New recruits always pop up out of nowhere by signing day. We will have several surprises imo

Probably true, but I know for a fact that my grandmother would climb up a coal car stopped on the train tracks and throw out chunks of coal while 8 month pregnant. No way I could have done that.

Pfft... In today's generation, even a dude could do that while 8 months pregnant.

FYI SEC already has a strong media presence in the FSU Clemson and Miami markets. I think UNC is the white whale in the ACC…my preference would be to add them and Virginia. It’s all about tv money…that’s why we got Mizzou.

Bump. People are catching on.

And somebody probably did it 9 months pregnant with a foot of snow on the ground before her and wasn’t impressed

Every generation has always called the newer generation pansies.. somebody said the same stuff about our grandparents generation decades ago

Probably because society has gotten progressively softer with more pansies for 80 consecutive years.

It's not just talk when you can look at your grandparents life and objectively see things were tougher back then.

Yes I agree--- every year once we get to Nov it seems like several come out of the blue-- hopefully that will be the case again this year!

As long as he shaves his beard first, otherwise not legit.

Yep, but much easier than they were a hundred years before that, and so on…

Late-19th century women: "Wait. Women today only carry them for nine months?"

I’d bet on it

Up one hill going and up hill back.

I think that has more to do with cars being way more complicated these days

Warning people not to drink the contents of a battery is because the car is complex?

It's those dam slow-gin bat-trees.

My wife: you’re gonna hate me but I think Nick Saban is so funny

Me: I don’t hate you, I want a divorce

 

[Ten_Titans]

Sure. Case in point. That isn't a universal rule by any means, but it generally holds.

Batteries are just now getting those labels?

So with this taunting rule I expect to see every UF touchdown taken off the board when they Gator Chomp. Everyone with me?

I'll never forget seeing a taunting on an opposing player who dared do the Gator Chomp after making a play against them. If one team can do it as a celebration then the other team should also be allowed to do it as a mockery of their celebration....just like horns down.

 

[gainesvol82]

I just saw that Andrew Shultz was there! I listen to him on podcasts all the time

Him dressed up as a knight while roasting Will & Jada Smith was freaking hilarious.

 

[Orange Studs]

If you are good at bringing pressure…. It makes the qb feel pressure that isn’t there.

Sorta like being married?

That's because empires follow a similar trend. They rise from humble beginnings, sacrifice blood, sweat and tears on the way to greatness, then each succeeding generation gets further removed from the mindset needed to survive in a dog eat dog world. Eventually, the empire gets overrun, evolution takes over and the process repeats.

Practically nobody alive in the US now is "tough" by the standards of the people who settled our continent and laid the basis for our now fading empire. We're not more civilized now, just more vulnerable.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

@TrippieRedd what do you think?

 

[delfonic]

If each generation has to “be as tough” as the last we have failed as a species.

There was a time we assumed common sense was common.
