Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Weezer]

But Mitchell came from the portal correct? Maybe the portal is not all that?

Or maybe the portal is about who you take? Hendon Hooker came from the portal. Bru McCoy = portal. Velus Jones was portal. We've had plenty of portal successes, Doc. At least on offense. Maybe we have a problem identifying that same kind of talent on defense? Though Dajon Terry has worked out on the DL. So maybe the failure to identify that defensive talent from the portal that would make us better falls on Banks?

Take a look around college football, Doc, and you will see plenty of portal success stories.

Now or in my prime?

do both

 

[BigSteve09]

My furthest was 55yds. Just launching it for distance, no control. I could be pretty accurate around 35yds.

55 yds is a pretty good arm

 

[Weezer]

Shhh…don’t tell that to the people that live in the 901 and the 615

Our area code in Knoxville is V-O-L.

And. . . speaking of movies. . .
I went to this bulk/discount store in Sevierville, I can't remember the name. . . they are similar to Costco, but about the size of a Dollar Store. . .

Anyway, I bought this stuff called "flavacol". You mix it in the popcorn oil. This stuff has the flavor or K-Mart pop-corn from the 80's. , tastes just like it. . . their butter topping is really good too. . .

Just mentioning in case any of y'all pop your own popcorn, you should give it a try.

Can confirm the Flavacol is where it's at

I got a popcorn machine for Christmas a few years ago. Family and guests are always impressed with the popcorn you can put together at home with those simple ingredients. Makes movie nights awesome.

The Orville Redenbacher yellow corn and oil/butter you can buy at the store works just as well. You just have to have that precious Flavacol golden dust

I work out.

how far could you throw a 10 pound weight

Man up-----if you're not willing to say who, keep your mouth shut. I guess these coaches are afraid of being sued if they can't back up their statements

If he worked for the Mob, probably about 3 feet from a boat

[screenthis]

On a rollout, before or after 30?

When younger? I had a very strong arm. All of 25 yards. How I wasn't recruited as a QB is beyond me. Now? Maybe 20?

 

[Weezer]

this summates all DCU movies

The first Wonder Woman movie was good IMO.

The only DCU movie that has been.

I would guess that both wear red and both are losing their starting QBs and both have HCs whose last name starts with “S”

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Throwing it like a football? Jeez. . .idk, 5-6ft?

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Wow!

So what was the news?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

So what was the news?

 

[bigl3327]

do both

I'll be 49 in nine days. I was comfortable throwing with the kids this fall at 30-35 yards. In college, I could throw it around 50 accurately. I don't think I'd attempt to throw it 50 yards now.

Lot of money selling ribs in the Grove!

 

[Enki_Amenra]

55 yds is a pretty good arm

Also. . . that's starting at the back of the endzone and taking several strides and aimlessly throwing it as hard as you can.

Knew a guy named Mike Latham who could throw it seventy yds with 1 knee on the ground. Sounds insane, but it's true. Made us feel like 50ish yds was pathetic.

In college I could throw a bail of hay 10 yds but no accuracy at all.

You sound like the guys I grew up with bailing hay and cutting tobacco. I grew up doing stone and masonry work with my dad and grandfather.

 

[WangoTango]

Honest question, how far could you guys throw a football?

40 yards?


(no Uncle Rico)

I did a punt pass kick with a bunch of has beens last year. An almost 50 year old, whose name you would know, threw it 50 yards. There wasn't a lot of velocity on it but it just hung and floated down. Guys with technique and mechanics never lose it.

You can throw Richard Pryor into that as well. Man turned setting himself on fire into a comedy bit.
