re: 2018 Football Recruiting Latest Commit **3* RB Tyler Badie TN**

Mizzou is just on their final cutdown list.

Really happy to see we are recruiting the state of texas again. Was a mistake leaving there in the first place.

Looking at the schedule this year we have 5 games we SHOULD win and about 4 that can go either way. I think we really need 8 or 9 wins this year for recruiting. This years Missouri's class is loaded and I have seen a few people say 2019 can be even better. I would really like to see us walk away from recruiting this year with about six 4* players and I really think Lock comes back for one more year as next years QB class is LOADED.

I myself have been banging that drum loudly from the inception of the mistaken abandonment of Texas which was virtually publically announced when we first joined the SEC.

I understood the philosophy of trying to get more in to Florida and Alabama but they just went at it all at once as opposed to trying to phase their way in/out which was a mistake.

Latest offer for 2018 makes more offers to state of alabama than Missouri.

Interesting because he's Bo Jackson nephew. Which is why all predictions are for auburn.

So you would suggest that Odom send his dline coach, that is well connected in Louisiana and Alabama, to places other than Louisiana and Alabama?

Sorry, I had to succumb to a mini-rant.

By all means, rant away. Keeping that kind of ignorance inside you isn't healthy.

Where do you suggest they "spend their resources" if not in Alabama? We'll probably pull 3-5 kids from there this year.

I know you like to bash BO just to do it, but for the life of me I can't figure out what the issue is here?

If the staff feels there are talented players in Alabama that can help us win then why not offer? I guarantee you we don't spend much time on kids who don't reciprocate interest.

If you are going to post drivel, at least make it well thought out drivel.

Anyone can disagree with my position points with or without foundation. However my posts, while they may threaten your psyche are at the very least well thought out "drivel". They have symmetry, are consistent and are not self contradictory.

The fact that you cannot allow yourself to respectfully disagree and respond in kind, shows that the "drivel" of which You speak is yours.

Look back at your very own replies. you will see that you have been one of the insult purveyors. Like some others you have responded to my critiques of BO as if I was chastizing your own disabled close family member. Have your perceptions but when you take things so personally it may be healthy to ask yourself why.

So for now your assertion is akin to a dirty pot calling dirty pans clean. So whatever. (as he brushes off his shoulders)

P.S To CRD, I want to acknowledge and own up to any misremembering I may have regarding your previous reply post(s) in my direction. I scanned your posts and while I did not have the patience for a thorough review I did not find much corroboration for my memory. As such, if I am "misremembering" I apologize in advance for my comments as they were directed to you. I would not mean to lump you in with those who HAVE resorted to personal disrespectful language and tone (and some definitely have) as it would relate to their disagreement to my position primarily regarding BO and related FB matters.

The Rant probably isn't your thing.

Well Cardinal, don't get it twisted. I "argue" for a living. Discourse/debating is invigorating and enjoyable to me. As a result I have pretty thick skin.

I can more than fluff off disparaging remarks but that was not my point. The problem is that a snowball effect that occurs by juvenile "piling on". When that occurs no longer do you have productive discourse, but rather a schoolyard nut punch argument. Those also can be "fun" at times but normally moreso in a playground environment.

In conclusion, you are right "The Rant" is the playground that I do peruse. While there is sports information to be gleened that is the forum for derogatory attacks ranging from toothless inbreds..to education levels which are common and funny at times. However, here at the "MSB" it is more set up for dissimination of info along with being a place to discuss OUR favorite University's sports team. I just would prefer to keep debate on respective disparate opinions civil, reasoned and productive interchange rather than falling into the "rabbit hole".

Thanks, I wish your 'ville Cardinals well.
