Tennessee and social media

Hating basketball should be a deadly sin.

 

This is what I’m trying to figure out.

I know being of average height and weight that I can’t play professional football or basketball, no matter how much tape I study, no matter how many weights I lift or drills that I run, no matter how much I study my opponent’s tactics or tendencies. There’s a certain level of athleticism or physical attributes needed to play sports at a high level. Most, not all, but most have a certain genetic predisposition to be a good to great athlete.

 

Yeah, but for a lot of athletes, there's a mental aptitude that's missing from those who make it and those who don't-- it's no different with games. I'd argue that there those who are physically more capable due to having better reflexes and coordination, but the mental awareness for games like League of Legends is what separates people. I'd definitely argue there's more game knowledge to be learned than most sports we watch.

 

It's the same with video games. Some people have cognitive abilities and coordination that are just better than others. I don't think it was as recognizable with games a generation or two ago. Technology has improved to allow more gamers to reach their maximum level of competence on more games.

 

I haven’t played any of the newer games but that makes some sense.

Too bad nobody wanted to pay to watch me play Tetris, Tiger Woods 03 or GTA3. I’d be a zillionaire.

 

College Football USA 96 here. I was unstoppable.

 

Just like with professional sports - most e-sports players are younger and you don’t see many once you get into your late 30s and above. Hand eye coordination and reaction time starts to slow down.

Even when I was younger I feel like I could’ve dedicated my life to trying to be great at a game like Rocket League, but I still never would’ve come remotely close to the top players in the world. It’s almost like they are playing a completely different game than me.

I don’t really enjoy watching the top players though. I tend to watch entertaining streamers over hyper competitive ones.

 

Yeah, yeah, not many past 30. Find me a cabinet with MK II in it, and let's see how many my 45yo ass loses head to head.

Probably enough to feel ashamed, but 20 some odd, almost close to 30 years ago I was unstoppable.

 

Yet my sons cant get more than 5k on Galaga while i put my initials all over their Switch high score board getting to crazy challenging stages near 130k. Differently trained brains i guess

 

Its unacceptable. [uck fay]ing owned by a tech school, not once but twice. Get him the [uck fay] out of my program

 

Two in a row over Bama though. I say we give him another year w/o a contract extension

 

Navy got the shaft. Simple as that.

 

Did Navy get jumped?! That's amazing if a two loss UT got in so easily while undefeated Navy got jumped by Miami. But that schedule was ridiculous. #1 VT. #2 Michigan. Some other highly ranked team.

 

By us and miami

 

Think Navy had 1 loss.

Miami and Navy tied at .992. Not sure what the tie breaker is.

 

Then they lost at the end of the season, because they were undefeated with a couple of weeks to go.

 

[uck fay]ing brilliant

 

Saw that it was one idea. I like it.

 

He also said they’re in the process of registering every player to vote.

 

His best quote was about Tennessee's recruiting throughout this

"We had a plan, we had a pulse of what was happening around the country"

As in, we aren't tone deaf dumbasses
