Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

@InVOLuntary is the dude with the jacked up diesel and a 55-gal drum exhaust who pulls up to cars with windows down at the red light and smokes them out. . .

Lol, noooo! I hate those dudes. Mine is stock. I can't stand those Dodge "shreks". Have to go in the ditch to keep from tagging mirrors.

wasn't sure where to post this thought but LSU's recruiting class is kinda crappy for their standards this year. That was the big thing was BK could recruit better there than Notre Dame and they are getting worked by ND

I've got a chair and a small table in my backyard. It is not under any trees or roof, just kinda sitting out on the pool deck area.

The past few weeks I've notice something pretty strange. After sitting there for a minute, I'll feel something drop on me. At first I thought it was a bug flying into me. Then I saw what it was. . . a small piece of dirt, about the size of a BB.

Since I've noticed this for the first time a few weeks ago, every time I sit there, a little piece of dirt about the size of a BB hits me somewhere. . . shoulder arm, leg, etc.

Its really strange, because there are no trees or anything above the chair for a good distance. The dirt is too big to be blown by a gust of wind and the wind is never really blowing hard when it happens anyway.

Is @Sally somehow responsible for this?

Really, can anyone explain this?

Any mud dauber nests nearby?

“I played in Neyland Stadium the year after they won a national championship. I promise you, they always do the little jet engine or whatever to (measure) the decibels, it’s the loudest stadium I’ve ever heard in my life. And it ain’t close.”

“Neyland Stadium, oh man. I put this one up there next to LSU as far as just cathedral-like, history, tradition. You can’t walk into this place and not start thinking about different eras and different players. Reggie White and Carl Pickens and Tee Martin and Peyton Manning and Jamal Lewis and Al Wilson. You see the pictures of the guys up top, General Neyland. And you get those squares with the ‘V’, the ‘O’, the ‘L’ and the ’S’ that are lit up, like an old Phillips 76 sign or something. Like a 1950s gas station, but it’s awesome.”

“Obviously the big bowl, when you look up there it feels like it never stops. When you’re in those stands, and you step out in the aisle to walk down, especially if you’re up a little higher, you feel like if you tripped and stumbled, you would end up on the field. And there actually is a little bit of distance behind the middle of the benches, so it’s not necessarily on you as some other places. But God almighty does it get loud. We played Tennessee tough in ’98 at home, the win the national championship. We go there in ’99, Ben Laird is hurt, Jeff Kline — God rest his soul, I love you Jeff, rest easy my friend — turns and throws and uncovered check the first play of the game. Deon Grant intercepts it, takes it back. And that right there, folks, that moment, is the loudest I have ever heard any stadium in my entire life. I remember Ben Laird was standing next to me, because we were both hurt for that game. I turned over and I was like, ‘Man, that’s loud.’ And he didn’t even (acknowledge me), he was looking up. And I said, ‘MAN, THAT’S LOUD.’ Like I’m yelling at him as loud as I can, he can’t hear me. Just nothing. That is a volume that is intimidating because it gets to the point where it cuts off your communication. It legitimately does. And when that happens, that becomes a real problem. And when people face problems, people start to panic. Therefor, that’s allowing intimidation to set in and affect you as a player, as a team, as a unit, as a side of the football. It just is. Smokey is running around, he barks after every time the fans starts going nuts. That’s incredible. Then you have the actual mascot Smokey that is running around. The checkered end zones, that’s tough to beat, man.”

@Rishvol just finished The Lost Metal. Epically good. Really loved it.

Spoiler

Really thought the ghostbloods tie in was very interesting. Wayne might be my favorite Sanderson character, and that is saying something. Also liked all the extra Cosmere stuff. Going to have to do some more reading up on it as I know more and more about it, but it is complex and involved.

I just started it. I've read/listened to the others this summer after school got out. The guy that does the audio books is amazing. Especially with Wayne's different accents he uses while incognito.

Volkswagen Bugs were chick magnets in the 70's !!!

Any car a guy had that didn’t belong to his folks was a chick magnet in the 70s!

Meh. . . needs to be about 4 inches lower in the rear. . .

My dad just picked his up from the painter a few weeks ago. It's slick!

Hopkins said he was ring chasing and then opted to play with a bunch of bum ass QBs.

Bum Ass? Hardly.
Not the greatest, but not a bum.

Here are Tennessee football wins vacated under Jeremy Pruitt

"Tennessee has dropped from the top 10 in all-time college football victories after the program was forced to vacate wins recorded in two seasons under Jeremy Pruitt as part of the sanctions handed down Friday by the NCAA for recruiting violations."

"Before the wins were vacated, UT had climbed into the top 10 all-time in college football history. The Volunteers had a record of 867-410-3, tied with Southern Cal for No. 10. Now UT drops to No. 11 with an all-time record of 856-410-53."

Deon Grant had a productive game against Auburn in 1999. #Productivity | RJ Young | By Vol Network | Facebook

There's a way better clip out there...one where you can hear how loud it was.

Terrible culture fit

Can we vacate the Georgia State loss too??

 

[peaygolf]

Can we vacate the Georgia State loss too??

Haha. i wish

Ga. St has already posted about it on twitter...........

 

[Rishvol]

Does anyone else take comfort knowing it'll take one year to not only make up the vacated win but add more to the total win column?

Y’all I hope that’s a water bottle in Steph’s pocket

We’re still 11 games behind most of those in that top 10. Overtaking them won’t be immediate.

Graphic is from preseason 2021, irrelevant at this point tbh

 

[JCVol00]

Hmm, Spillman is #80 and keith is #20

Edit: Matthews is #24, meaning Beasley is going to have a new number too, kind of interesting how the incoming freshman are getting the upperclassman’s numbers. Of course, they probably wanted to switch numbers anyway

It is the auto corrected version of Porsche. . .

I like my explanation better. No shame in being a hillbilly.

Why does it matter? You are going to do everything in your power to justify that we shouldn't have cooperated. It changes nothing and we still don't care.

Then why are you replying if you don't care? You have your opinion, I have mine. Your bitching about my opinion isn't going to change my mind.
