Recruiting 2022 Post-ESD Recruiting Thread: 4* DE Jack Pyburn commits

Did Benjamin Franklin Want the National Bird To Be A Turkey?

Franklin wrote that the “Bald Eagle...is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly…[he] is too lazy to fish for himself.”


When I lived in Wisconsin, I would frequently see both eagles and turkeys scavenging in the manure the dairy farmers spread on their crop lands in the early spring. Hungry birds gotta do what ever it takes to survive.

ive seen them chase down Ospreys that have caught a fish until the Osprey drops the fish then go pick up the fish.
So Franklin was spot on.

Getting to Know: Kicker Signee Trey Smack

I think you're reading too much into the Deion thing. That was just too perfect of a situation. I Deion had been coaching at a small school in Texas and Hunter was committed to USC, you may not see any deal at all let alone one involving Deion. Portnoy wanted to make a splash on ESD and parody the whole deal. The process, the coverage, everything. What made it so grand was the #1 HS player bailing on a school that he had emphatically shown support for, to go to 1) an HBCU who is 2) coached by perhaps the best player to come out of the school he is bailing. The fact that Deion is a media whore is just extra gravy on the steamy pile of a sh!tshow it was.

And for the record, it was bad for college football. I do feel bad for FSU, in the fact that it was a BS thing to happen. I'm glad that it happened to them and not someone else, but still just crap. And it will open the door to schools like Texas and A&M doing really well, because most people do not fathom the money floating in Texas and Oklahoma.

Change. The established lazy never like it! ;)

there never was a fight, just a beta acting in typical fashion. the rest of us were just pointing and laughing.

Apparently, we are pushing hard to get this guy to visit. Napier and Toney are the ones pushing.

I like it, but -- gee -- we are shut out of Florida so we have to scavenge Bama. Thanks, Dan.

Be nice to have a LB who started in the S&C program at 220.

It's hard to imagine this guy being a 3 star. His highlight tape is nasty

I think with ESD over its a matter of going after anyone left not signed worth signing versus putting a fence around Florida. Im not a huge recruitnik so I dont know what LBs are left unsigned in Florida though. Its refreshing to see us going after actual LBs and seeing a coach actually recognize our roster doesn't have any.

In Valdez, Alaska I've seen eagles swoop down and pluck fish from open water so they are certainly capable hunters.

Locally on the other hand, my wife and I were surprised to see an eagle perched atop a roof amidst a flock of buzzards awaiting their turn at decaying meat spewed from overfilled and overturned garbage cans.

I actually agree with most everything you said, except this: "I do feel bad for FSU" What's the matter with you? Eff them. Any more signs of this kind of weakness and we may have to insist you get banned or at the very minimum sent to Ox's re-education camp.

I watched eagles around Lake Okeechobee and nearby canals take large Gar fish (4' +) and take them to their nest. Eagles are opportunistic and eat what is available ~ alive or dead

Reelfoot Lake in NW Tennessee has large population of Bald Eagles (one of the largest away from the coasts in the US). I've seen them take some decent sized fish out of there. I think opportunistic is the right word. They'll hunt if they have too, but they'll happily steal instead.

Lizardboy is apparently very triggered by me. Probably has something to do with me porking his mom last night.

We are taking leftovers and the homeless. "Thanks, Dan" is right. I bet that colossal d--head has zero respect among his peers.

 

[Silverback Gator]

So true. If he's listed at 220 he might arrive in that range in a year. He's probably not above 6'.

Im not a huge recruitnik so I dont know what LBs are left unsigned in Florida though. Its refreshing to see us going after actual LBs and seeing a coach actually recognize our roster doesn't have any.

If you look at our roster we have a bunch of "LBs" listed at +230lbs. Why they can't play the position is beyond my expertise. It probably has to do with mullen's staff habitually inaccurate evaluations and that our LB coach is not a great teacher. I wish they would let that kid go. Only one of our LBs was a top tackler last season.
