Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Devo182]

I’ve never really understood the desire for high school athletes to commit to Alabama. I get that they have a chance at a national title and get prepared for the NFL but Tuscaloosa is an awful city to spend 4 years of your life. Athens, Knoxville, Austin, Los Angeles, Happy Valley are all nicer. Even Ann Arbor and Columbus are better cities. Is playing for Saban really that much of a draw?

Yes it's absolutely shocking HS recruits would take a chance to be coached by the GOAT, at the program which has proven (through my own research which makes me want to puke but agrees with public research) to elevate a kid's talent better than anyone, while being in the championship race every year, etc.

And yes Tuscaloosca sucks.

If it came down to city atmosphere, every single kid in the country should just go to UCLA. Don't even get me started how ridiculous that area is and the...talent...there. Or Hawaii. No college town in the SEC could even remotely compete if that's what mattered most. Luckily most kids are more business-minded.

How many years before Kara Lawson takes Pretty Holly’s job?…

Speaking of Kara have you seen the heat she’s getting after her comments about the basketball being used in the FSU/Duke game apparently a men’s basketball was used in the first half and the ACC is denying it ever happened…very interesting..I didn’t even realize she took a coaching job

No expert but Buffalo Trace, The Company, Woodford Reserve Double Oak and Jefferson’s would be on my list.

 

[peaygolf]

Who??? I never considered them SEC. Hell, I’m still trying to wrap my head around Arkansas and South Carolina being added. That’s old school.

I'm with ya 100%

Why would you not correct that during the game…. Seems like an easy fix.

Anyone know where I can find some high res stadium pics? I want to have one blown up to put vinyl wall poster up.

 

[csprig9]

Why is that?

I personally dont like some of the things she has said and done. Things I’ve seen and heard don’t go with what I want in a lady Vols coach. That’s all I’ll say about that. She’s a decent coach I just don’t want her as a leader at Tennessee

Plus, they don't have to stay in the God forsaken place for more than 3-4 years. Living there will make you appreciate living almost anywhere else in the Nation.

So much for equality.

Southern California blows.

A men’s basketball? That’s sexist!

 

[bignewt]

Southern California blows.

Not if you are a college kid on a full ride.

This argument would’ve made more sense in 2007

Looked at those, and have a couple of possibilities. Haven't checked resolution yet, problem is most pics when blown up to size I want gets very pixilated.
