Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[CAVPUT]

3rd year isn’t starting him off anymore. Especially after overachieving the first 2 years.

Gonna be interesting to see how this team looks when filled with Heupel recruits.

FUN FACT

As the head coach of the Georgetown Men's Basketball program

Patrick Ewing has lost TWENTY EIGHT Big East games in a row

0-19 last year and a loss in the opening round of the Big East tourney and 0-8 this year

He’s putrid. Georgetown has to get over just hiring anyone because they’re related to past program success. Ran Thompson III off for WAY less in 2017. They got to have a reboot. With the right coach in there they can and should be pretty dang good. A lot of talent in the DMV that’s avoided Georgetown

Alexa won't even turn on the kitchen lamp when my wife tells her to. I don't think she is a threat.

'Alexa, tell poopy jokes.'

'Alexa fire up Skynet and kill the human race.'

Pick which one she excels at.

He was great.

2:47 in was on of my favorite movie moments. "You never knocked me down Ray." Jake grew up in the Bronx. My grandfather was friends with him, but most Italians hung out and looked out for one another. My grandfather would always tell me how underrated Jake LaMotta was. He was "that guy" in the neighborhood. No one messed with him, even when he was 13. It brought tears to my grandfather's eyes when he watched Raging Bull. It was also fitting that DeNiro portrayed him and Joe P was featured. Both of them were also Bronx kids that grew up idolizing LaMotta and DiMaggio among other Italian greats of those times. True story. Joe Pesci was a bus boy at my family's favorite restaurant in Little Italy. DeNiro delivered papers. My whole family could not believe how famous they would become.

I about threw up and passed out just watching that…

 

[apevol]

Listened to a Dan Carlin interview with a boxing historian called "Boxing with Ghosts"...they made a very convincing argument that boxing is different when it comes to the "different eras" thing.

the rise of football and basketball has decimated the talent pool of professional boxing. the talent isnt going that direction anymore, nor are knowledgeable coaches and trainers, now with all the old great minds gone the sport has been in rough shape for awhile.

Not trying to start debate, just honest question: Where is the line drawn between draft dodger and contientious objector? Ali actually reported to the location when he received his papers and refused to sign citing his religious beliefs as an objector. It wasn't like he tried to evade it. I think of a draft dodger as one who doesn't show up, hides from it, makes excuses, or pays a doctor to make up a physical impairment.

Personally, I have a hard time condemning those who avoided Vietnam in hindsight both for how awful it was and the questions surrounding whether or not we should've been there in the first place.

Sometimes draft dodgers are right/noble. I have great respect for the Russians draft dodging the war in Ukraine right now for instance.

Well said.

Also, you know he couldn't play wide receiver because he has hands of stone.

Lol. Yep, and being 5'7" wouldn't do him any favors either.

Joey Bosa sounds and talks like what I imagine Marilyn Manson would sound like on steroids. After taking a handful of Xanax.

Dude mentioned the 1930's in attempt to draw an offensive corollary to the Steroid era.

Kids literally play year round from middle school on now. They hit non-stop. Those dudes, Kirk Caminiti, Barry Bonds, Mcgoon, Sosa, Bagwell were head and SHOULDERS above anything someone from that era. Imagine Ted Williams doped up, there would be murders.

I'm sure Ted Williams was. I read a book, can't remember which one, that talked about in their times they had bowls of uppers sitting in bowls in the middle of the locker room for the players. Those drugs should be labelled as PED's as well. Just saying.

 

[KptVFL]

Who refers to athletes as “sports players”?

The same folks that say "the throw game"

 

[beneVOLence]

Only going into his 3rd year and imagine the criticism White would've received if he'd started his "buddy" off that high.

I get it. Billy Napier in his 1st year was at 7.3 million though. I just think we are going to look like idiots if someone comes calling Josh Heupel for 8 to 9 million a year. I personally believe he is worth that much, plus it would be insurance for us if someone came calling.

I’d venture a guess that someone has already come calling and their advances have been rebuffed.

Just pick a topic and start the conversation. We'll join in.

I love scrapbooking. I just finished a couple pages of my dad’s Army days. Will that work?
