Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[MemphisVol3]

They've got us vs UGA as the 3rd most important:

3. Nov. 18: Georgia at Tennessee​

Why it will matter to the committee: This could eliminate one team if the game determines the winner of the SEC East -- or it could change the three-peat narrative in the SEC and catapult the Vols into the top four if they're not there already. If Georgia doesn't beat Tennessee and doesn't play for the SEC title, it's going to be difficult for the selection committee to justify a top-four finish -- unless it's a close loss and Georgia has won every other game so easily that those in the room agree the Dawgs are "unequivocally" one of the four best teams in the country.

That's going to be difficult, though, because Georgia's nonconference schedule includes UT Martin, Ball State, UAB and Georgia Tech. The entire East division could be eliminated if Tennessee beats Georgia but loses at Alabama on Oct. 21 and again in the SEC championship game.

------

And let's be honest about the Dawgs schedule... We're the only competition they face in the regular season.

Agree that they won't be tested at all until they play us. They could slip up against another team but if they don't bring their A game and we're healthy, they are in trouble. A lot of the older guys want this game too and I think we have a very good chance at beating them in Neyland.

Will probably skip on the PB and chocolate and add some mayo, dollop of cottage cheese, and banana slices to the yogurt. With a nice warm glass of fat free milk.

Yum

If I click on the bell, it shows you responded. It just doesn’t show up as a new notification.

There is something really weird about the old school footbawl coach mentality. And notice it's only with kids up through college. Coaches try and pull that shiz on an NFLer and get whipped like they should.

Why having the title of coach over...say...teacher is ever an excuse to hit another human being is so dumb. Coach Woody at OSU knows

I mean Devil's advocate here but you think he didn't mean to hit him that hard? I had coaches get excited and smack me on the butt harder than that.

Let the record reflect, I'm not excusing what he did and our actions have consequences but he doesn't slug him. Just don't like judgements based on a snap shot.

Starfield about to drop. Vols and CFB coming back. Welcome September, welcome!

Some of those aren’t terrible, if we wear the Alt white helmet with black jerseys, they would look cool with the white pants with black outlines on the orange stripes

You have to clear waivers before you can be put on the practice squad

That's the one only on Xbox because Microsoft are a bunch of bums, correct?

Microsoft bought Bethesda a while back but they definitely blindsided everyone when they forced Starfield to become an Xbox exclusive (well sorta you can always play on PC which is what I'll be doing). No one expected that MS would cut out Playstation on this though but I think it was because Xbox just doesn't have a lot going for them with games right now. Xbox actually has great hardware on paper and I like the idea of game pass a lot but they don't have any good exclusive games and for whatever reason they're losing this round of the console wars. Starfield is a victim of MS being stupid about that. Really, they should've left Starfield alone in terms of letting it come out on every system but given Xbox owners something special. That would've been better for sales and would've made everyone happy.

That all said, Bethesda games should be played on PC, imo. It's the mods that really take them from being good to great and you lose a lot of that on console. But knowing sometimes you just wanna chill and play on the couch, I'm a proponent of all games on all systems. If we have to have exclusives do them for no more than a business quarter and then release on all. I'm ok with old gaming houses that have always been on x or y staying that way but it really hurts when devs that used to release on all platforms suddenly only release on one or two.

It's weird bc Starfield is going to sell a ridiculous number of copies but it's going to be a fraction of what it would've sold which is a shame.

Staff writer from The Athletic Cooper Klaus ranks Bazooka Joe as the 40th best starting QB in college football... though with the below quoted qualifier



They gonna learn... but I'm sorry: if a 'model' does not take 'schematic differences, athleticism or scouting reports' into consideration, what is it more than a dart throw or a beauty contest?

I built a model last year using EPA and PFF data that had him as a top 25 QB by the end of the year last year. Haven’t run it yet since, but imagine he’d be top 15 or so in it now.

Look

All but Callaway and Thompson have been signed to practice squads.

LookS like Fant is on Cowboys practice squad !!!

 

[knoxvol52]

When I was a lad model cars was a big thing, but now days nobody likes to do that as a young person ..... I guess the video games took away from putting model cars together...
