Recruiting Football Talk VII

[rikberry31]

I would genuinely love to talk sh*t about Kentucky, make fun of Kentucky, and laugh at Kentucky. But y’all are making it hard to even post something funny about Kentucky

Funny sh1t about Kentucky? Now that's some low hanging fruit

 

[rikberry31]

They read the signs strait from the sideline. Ouch

 

[mrMet]

Game thread is up. Mock Kroger's finest there, my man! Can't wait to read your snarks! Should I be worried that their new QB is obviously better than Mayo Boi?

I like to read the snarks, I don’t have the brain power to make them.

Your last sentence tho, pre-season the staff genuinely thought he was the real deal. Straight from the special assistant to the HC

 

[mrMet]

On to Kentucky....

I've not followed their season other than noting they took down UF, and truthfully, that did get my attention. Other than the fact that they're physical, rested and at home..which worries me...what are their strengths and weaknesses? How do we match up? Who are their players to watch? Injuries...

Saw a video of Dabo talking about the last play of the game against Miami on that 4th and goal...he said Clubnik pulled a JG and called his own shot...it should have been a hand off. Said it wasn't an RPO.

 

[TheRain]

I remember these guys mocking Vols fans at the draft.

Stoops is stoopid.

Do you remember the video clip (tik tok or twitter) where the Lube U faithful showed dude throwing a TD pass in practice against air and declaring something like "Tennessee is destroyed. Book it." ?

But I still maintain that he is better than Levis. Will not stop.

But were Kim and Tod in Miami, what was she wearing, and did they drive or fly? Inquiring minds want to know! I guess QB has lost confidence in Dabo and Riley.

Duh duh duh duh

Imagine making 10 million a year and throwing the kid under a bus like that.

@matt_mccoy19 after rewatching the offensive possessions, I will say that Milton is prone to hero ball like JG was.

There were a couple of key short-yardage plays where Joe decided he was going to do it himself, and it was the wrong decision. Also the interception last week vs A&M was the kind of thing JG would do after a good play.

Yup, all four of Milton’s INT’s were arrogant throws, the one against UF was an idiotic heave into no man’s land, the first one in the uscjr game he didn’t even read the coverage pre snap and had no clue there was a safety there, 2nd int vs uscjr he underthrew the ball, then the a&m pick was another idiotic throw into triple coverage while not even looking at any other wr

I know you do, buddy. I'm not trying to run you off, just show a little patience. We're trying to work something out right now and we need more eyes to see what's happening to our beloved football team.

Fanbases hating each other is one thing, getting cheated by the SEC conference is something else. It's huge and needs to be noticed, addressed, and rectified.

I honestly dont think the Michigan thing is a big deal, im sure it happens everywhere. Maybe not the sending assistants to future opponents games and filming, but in game sign stealing. Ill bet people will use this to leverage qbs receiving the calls through a chip in the headset like the NFL

 

[Jack Burton]

But you still haven't explained, as I requested, why you choose this moment to bring last year's game up, since it acts as a de facto excuse for this year's inexcusable rigging. There's no other purpose it serves.

Because if there was a conspiracy to always make Alabama beat Tennessee then that play disproves it. The refs would have found a way to prevent the win, and even with the possible false start right in front of them, they simply missed their prime directive.

There is no conspiracy to keep Tennessee down. There is only bias to protect playoff teams. We got caught in that bias Saturday, but we also played like ass in the 2nd half. Both can be true.

I really don't think it is illegal....unless tOSU says it is.

 

[jave36]

Wow, that's pretty damning. He's looking over to the OSU sidelines while they signal before telling the DC it's a pass.

Only when Urban Meyer was HC....Day doesn't have that much pull...

I think this is it. We don't crap the bed against UF and go into the Bama game undefeated and the officiating is different, just like last year.

 

[jave36]

Gary said "ok.... it was signaled fair catch by the other return man, so the play is dead." The "OK" was because someone told him to say that.... probably retired referee Gene Steratore, he had been chiming in during the game. They never said Telander or someone on the front line called the fair catch. They even posted a picture of Dee on the broadcast but only after Alabama had gotten the ball back and ran a few plays. CBS was trying hard to cover it up. This was as high as Dee's hands got. The Telander posts came out the next day. View attachment 590086

Where's the motion version of this? If he's waving his hands then they can win on a technicality. No waving allowed by anyone on the return team. Granted until our game and Iowa no one has ever applied that technicality, but still.

That may be the correct "backstory." The backstory is less clear than the absolutely manifest fact that Saturday's game was rigged.

The play happened in the 1st minute of the 2nd half. The pic I attached was after we went 3 and out, punted, and alabama had ran a few plays. That's when CBS showed Dee Williams "fair catch" signal and explained it as such. A WHOLE DAY later it was said that Telander had actually signaled fair catch from the front line and that's why the play was dead.

2 different stories for the fair catch.

IMO, If you're telling the truth, you do have to make it up as you go..... which is what's happening with the SEC office over this call

Do you know which occurred first? Iowa's game started an hour before ours.

Also, did you go back to the video and look at the official listening to his radio and all the other strange facts people are noticing?

 

[jave36]

If the refs were right all the time then we likely lose vs Alabama last year. Chase McGrath moves just enough here pre-snap that a flag could have been thrown for false start, but it was ignored/missed and we benefited.

Yep when it happened live I could not believe they didn't flag him.

I would say that it's a pretty big deal. It's been stated several times that standing on the field/sideline and "trying" to guess what they call is part of the game. Sending someone to 30 games with an electronic device, filming it, decoding it, and putting it on a laminated sheet is out of bounds.

In game is allowed. What's not allowed is in person scouting of opponents. Which is why it's a big deal.

I now see and appreciate the larger context of your view.

But consider both things may be in play. Consider how weird the SEC officiating was in our second out of conference game at home, vs undefeated TAMU, and the second half of the FL game where our every drive was stopped by officials' decisions, DPIs were ignored in decisive situations, the game-changing call on Castles block etc. Something is up with that, too, imo.

But last year's Bama game was the best officiated one that I ever recall. Recall the year before last when Bama opened with an uncalled targeting of HH.

I continue to think that the focus at present should be on the criminal officiating Saturday. But I see where you're going with your argument.
