Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Glitch]

Hopefully figure out they drafted the wrong freaking quarterback.

Vols fans should all bring things of mayo to the Virgina game and just leave them all over Nissan Stadium.

Sigh…I would love to hear about who is looking good at practice so far.

 

[Orange.]

Should be 5 SEC, 4 Big 10, 1 Big XII, 1 ACC, and the top G5

That's not terrible but the others will never allow it to happen. The primary reason for expansion is to get seats for non-SEC teams. Now the B1G had half the seats last year and the 12 had one, so what's their problem?

Vols Fall Practice #9

Since the subject of nutrition has come up again, I'll toss out one that kinda blew my mind...

I recently had my first kidney stone. While searching for remedies, I read up on the herb phyllanthus niruri, and started drinking a tea of it several times a day. Don't know where I am with the stone, but the crazy thing is that after 2 weeks or so, my fasting glucose dropped 15 or 20 points.

Because I am genetically at risk for cognitive decline, I try hard to keep sugar down (it's a risk factor). I'm not diabetic, but mine stays stubbornly high (fbg is often 100-110) and I've had little luck moving it. To see fbg in the mid 80s is not normal for me, even taking Metformin.

Had brunch today, omelette with a nice order of breakfast potatoes...2hr postprandial sugar was *86*...unheard of for me.

Not sure what the impact to a diabetic would be, but anyone with marginal sugar should be able to benefit. It does take 2+ weeks for the effect to kick in, but it's absolutely been worth it for me.

phyllanthus niruri is also a diuretic. Anyone with blood pressure issues should be careful. It could cause potassium issues.

The graveyard is getting crowded these days,

People are dying to get in.

WOW

Committee pushed decision to next year and May suspend him for more than 4 games

Otherwise stated: The committee ruled that he will not be suspended this year. They did not suspend him for next season, either. And there is no reason to expect them to suspend him next year either.

Lying to the NCAA is okay at Meatchicken, it appears. To say nothing of his assistant let go for unnamed computer crimes on university computers. Pron or changing players grades. Your guess.

The NCAA is so crooked. This is why prudent people do not want NIL regulated. Because there is no worthy candidate to enforce it justly and honestly. None.

The article I read said that agreement was made but the final committee had to sign off on agreement. They refused to sign off because of discrepancies and wanted to investigate further.

Well, sure. What did you expect them to do, tell the truth? Harbaugh is stonewalling them. They have the evidence that he lied. Harbaugh is saying he doesn't remember telling those lies, which is stupid and not relevant.

It's not hard for a bunch of crooked bureaucrats to push off a decision they are against. That's how it works.

They've had plenty of time to investigate further. They didn't do their jobs. Or rather, they did their jobs according to their intentions which is to make sure Michigan gets rigged treatment.

Bama is in hot water in their QB room. Ty Simpson had multiple interceptions and strip sacks (2) during their scrimmage. Looks amazing in practice then collapses under pressure with zero pocket trust or awareness.

Milroe threw 3 TDs and multiple INTs. Word was 2 of the TDs were the receivers making the insane play to snag it, not Milroe making a good read/throw.

Buchner is getting better but still behind the 8 ball from transferring. Also apparently has had issues getting comfortable with Saban's coaching style.

The trye freshman Lonergan has been the most consistent but there's questions about how often he's been allowed to play against the 1s. Rumor is the second scrimmage he might get more reps against the 1st team due to his performances.

Also, Georgia had 7 turnovers in their first scrimmage.

 

[UTgrad2015]

Just had a premonition that our very own Joe Milton will be a top 10 draft pick next year

I’m also a few glasses deep in some whiskey so TIFWIW

 

[OrangenSC]

Well played. And that was a classic interview.

 

[Ace]

BTW, Harbaugh should not suffer any consequences on analyst’s coaching. Every team does it and teams were told last fall that rules against analysts and QC coaching would be eliminated this spring. Committee then proceeded to keep rule in place this spring.

Let me ask you this simple question. Did the article that you read state all the known evidence in detail?

No, why would that be necessary. The article focused on Harbaugh lying to investigators and some on final committee wanting more information.

That contradicts your first post (93,656). They're throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks.

That would be necessary for a reader to arrive at an informed opinion and to meet the bare minimum standards of honesty. But it would fail as a joint public relations press release for Michigan and the NCAA.

They are jumping straight to their conclusion and hoping no one has the sense to wonder about the facts in the case.

No, it does not. The discrepancies were in his testimony not with the analyst issue. My post on analysts was a separate issue relating to all teams that is why I put it in a separate post.

 

[Weezer]

Precedent says Harbaugh should get a 3-year show cause, just like Bruce Pearl got for the same infraction.

TY! Am I going to have to go to the football forum to get news and see people talking about football?

Is Simpson’s performance lining up with the concerns people on here has with him? I know there were some but don’t remember what. Played in a weak league?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Totally agree on Kiffin. Only left his name in because the OP I was responding to used him as an example.

sonofUT62 said:
So Spurrier/Rhule/Kiffin etc are all mediocre coaches who must have cheated in college since they struggled in the pros?

Didn’t say anything about cheating, I said give spurrier or saban mediocre talent and they would struggle too. Proof is spurrier at south carolina. Both excelled when they can out talent the opponent. Not the same at all. Thought my post was very simply stated.

Crazy. Doesn’t AL do that all the time?

It doesn't seem particularly strong in that regard (I've been on HCTZ before) but it has definitely improved my BP as well.
