Recruiting Football Talk VII

[screenthis]

Tony "thrill" Hill, Drew Pearson, Butch Johnson....Robert Newhouse the boulder of a FB....and on and on....

And.....Golden Richards was just a little too early for me...but Too Tall Jones and Harvey Martin..

I don’t think Tennessee fans are reaching at all with this story. That game was such an anomaly.

I mean, something weird was going on. It’s one thing to lose. That happens in college football. Hapless UVA just beat undefeated top 10 UNC. But by 4 points. 63-38? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything like it. Maybe that year a 6-win Purdue team beat Ohio State 49-20, I guess.

My confidence in the integrity of college football was very low, it's now pretty much non-existent. It's about as legit as WWE in my eyes.

Whatever little smidgen of hope/belief I had left in fair competition was absolutely destroyed Saturday.

It is rigged

Also, SC defensive players wore wrist bands for the first time all season during the UT game.

Yep and if even remotely true, Greg Sankey will have it buried by lunch and Danny White won’t say a word. It’s all a racket.

Or when Iowa beat them the year before. Maybe when Baylor beat K-State in 2012 too

Try to keep up, Jimmy

Just trying to make you proud Jimmy sr.

If you know a blitz is coming, you can adjust presnap with no fear of being wrong. Big advantage, IMO, especially if you know where it's coming from.

This. Especially during the game last year when everyone was in awe that the QB who had sucked his whole career was miraculously making completions under complete duress. Almost like he knew the pressure would be there, and which part of the field would be open.

You can blame it on Jon Robinson, who handcuffed this organization massively with bad contracts and no draft picks. Ownership fired him for his screw ups. Gotta give the new GM a chance while he’s being hamstrung from previous GM. (Kinda like how Heupel has been hamstrung by scholarship restrictions and ncaa investigation previously looming)

Y’all non-titans fans fail to realize that

Meharble is/has been the gm in reality. He orchestrated JR firing and got a “yes” man hired. The oilers are built in mv concept, defense and ball control offense.

 

[JCVol00]

My hunch is that stealing defensive signals is not going to gain you much if anything (for ScJr). I remember watching the game and thinking Rattler couldn't miss on anything he threw. He threw dimes all night, and our D acted like they could not tackle anyone. It did fell "off" as you put it be Carolina had not come close to being that good all year long to that point.

Knowing whst the defense is running is the biggest advantage you can have in football just about. We blitzed heavy that night so rattler could have checked presnap every play to shift the protection and run/throw it where the gaps are in the coverage. It explains why their wr’s were constantly open

 

[JCVol00]

I really wish we ran the score up on USCjr given what happened last year, from them cheating to them running the score up on us

 

[beneVOLence]

Lol you can blame this one on Titans management and leadership...they run the franchise like a blind man working a school crossing....

I thought J-Rob was the issue.

Edit: Others beat me to it.

Something i didnt know while listening to VQ pod this AM. Hubbs said that GA tried to hire Elarbee as their OL coach.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I know what happened to Jimmy Hoffa. It’s a great read btw.

I Heard You Paint Houses - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

He is buried under Neyland Stadium according to the lady in The Blind Side

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

This is going to turn out to be true, isn’t it?

Of course it will. We have our 1st playoff team in the playoff era, and it gets derailed because of cheating, and there is nothing that can be done to change it.

 

[MarcoVol]

For the same reason Milton will get drafted as well

Will Levis threw 13 INTs in his best season. 23 picks over 2 years.

Dude doesn’t even protect the football.

What year did that happen? Maybe they purchased the signs from Michigan for that game?

Jrob drafted so many busts it was unbelievable. Vrabel’s face on draft night was pure disgust when they traded away AJB…

And he would have magically transformed into a Sam Pittman level recruiter…like Pittman when he moved to Athens.

If south carolina beat us something like 31-24 or something around what they beat Clemson like, then I wouldn’t think there was anything fishy going on, but something didn’t seem right with the UT/USCjr game last year

I know y’all don’t want to hear this, but Jeremy Banks is why we lost that game. He was the QB and the heart and soul of our defense last year.

It was as simple as paying the man….
