But if those two guys aren't good enough at those positions they often don't get recruited or lightly recruited. Seems really stupid to me. Also stupid not to be recruiting basketball players and baseball players that never even played HS football. You are leaving some tremendous athletes on the table that could be great contributors in 3 years time. Those guys that lack the skill to be pros in those sports, but are amazing athletes. Red shirt them and get two good years. Totally worth it to me. I would also be looking at foreign athletes. This is why I think I could turn around a 2nd tier big time program given time and a good coach to work with. Still amazes me that NFL teams don’t find some 6’10”+ college basketball player with a 35” vertical but who wasn’t talented enough for the NBA and try to turn them into a kick blocking and Hail Mary specialist. It’s a really small niche, but if you’re looking at potential game changing plays a blocked FG and Hail Mary catch (or defense) is right near the top of the list. Seriously, tell me someone like Tacko Fall couldn’t make an impact in an NFL game. Even the thought of a guy that size lurking to block a kick might mess with a kicker’s head.

It's almost like someone just said that... maybe like, 1 minute ago... 😁 You know what I would love to see. Getting a midget on the team and throwing him over the OL for FG blocks. Had a dream about that 10+ years ago and it's never left my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be illegal, but nice outside box thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deleted that s*** along time ago because of the devide that was on it. Social media is a disease I use FB for business leads mainly and it helps. But I agree I deleted twitter awhile back and it was a great decision. I only go there when I see a news announcement posted here or the athletic and I click on it if I can’t see the full thing. Twitter is divider and a crazy town. There is no rational discussion to be had. Only emotion. To disagree is to be evil. Main problem I see with Facebook is people like to post these wonderful relationship photos, vacation photos and new cars, etc. It causes people to envy, covet and think they alone are having life problems while life is nothing but roses and honey for all their friends.

A lot of buddies from college and the Air Force. Agree on it being a disease, that's why I never had Twitter, a snap chat, or Instagram. One platform is more than enough.

That's something I agree with but don't understand. Just a bit of common sense would let them know that these photos are rarely ever as perfect moments as that snapshot shows. I mean, we all have had to endure the 10 minute fight where our mom/aunt/whoever tried to get a perfect photo while everyone is getting pissy and annoyed, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get bothered by someone else’s happiness so I don’t mind Facebook so much. I like to see my friends kids grow up. And I know everyone has their own problems. I guess point is if it bothers you so much that the Jones have this or that or people on Twitter have wrong political opinion better to just step away rather than be constantly bothered and upset. Or worse you are disowning your friends and family over stupid stuff. People make themselves miserable and yet can’t leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to admit I enjoy poking fun at people's political opinions from both sides. I never have to de-friend anyone, if they won't look at reason or get upset at a joke they'll do the work for me. I seem to have a friend-list purge every 4 years. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk why but I feel like I'm determined to out-stubborn them. Probably a kinda toxic trait. 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
