Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TheMookieMonster]

Great leadership on display here by Deion to basically throw your young men under the bus in the middle of a season.

Yeah it’s ********. Just trying to find something. Dudes been ranting all week

Refs just suck, simple

I don't think that every call against us is done purposefully. I do think there is widespread incompetence in officiating.

The difference is that they are choosing to not call the things that would give us an advantage -- DPI/defensive holding, and offensive holding.

DPI is purposefully subjective. Everyone knows holding when they see it, and we've seen a lot of it.

 

[BigOrange15]

Not calling offensive holding, defensive holding or DPI on our opponents is clearly indicative of some instruction to officials from their leadership or league leadership.

This is beyond coincidental at this point.

Before the Bama and UK games we could point to trends or scratch our heads about why the refs aren't calling penalties as consistently as they did last year.

These last two games are proof that they are choosing to not throw the flag, even when the penalties are occurring right in front of their face.

We are not getting the same calls we did in 2022. The games are being decidedly officiated differently.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you or what you posted, I was just saying if they hate ours and treat us differently based on it, then they would have to hate Ole Miss and call them like they do ours.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Do they despise Ole Miss's too? Because they go nearly as fast as we do.

They really dont, they line up quickly, but then check with the sideline almost every play.

Funny thing is, Narduzzi said the same thing and got raked over the coals. Deion said it and the media ignored it.

Thought I saw a graphic that showed the top 5 fastest times between plays and both teams were on it. Could be wrong tho.

I don’t look at it that deep. I think it’s just money/betting, and people want theirs.

Shows the gap he hasn't bridged between being a mouthy player/tv personality and leader of young men. His roster overhaul has hit in many areas, but at some point you ride with what you CURRENTLY have. These remarks are Pruitt level as a HC.

I was adding to what you said, not looking to argue or correct

 

[MarcoVol]

It sounds stupid, but the way our games are called it makes you wonder.

It sounds stupid bc it’s Volnugs.

Vol Twitter not exactly comprised of geniuses.

 

[UpstateVol613]

You hate to see it….

 

[JCVol00]

They’re running ads for Summit themed cups for game next weekend, looks like it will be the Summit themed/accents game next weekend

Appropriate, considering the opposition.

[Adam2014]

Does anyone know about a database for college football penalties? I would be curious to know when the last time a team’s opponent wasn’t called for a post snap penalty two games in a row.

 

[BreatheUT]

I think he does come back. I feel like he’s similar to Juwan Jennings, and that he doesn’t have top in speed that is going to impress the scouts at the combine. The best thing he could do for himself is be just a straight dog playing in some big primetime games. Plus, with NIL and his popularity at tn…he’d make himself some really good money over the next year by coming back.

Anquan Bolden is the comparison a lot like Jennings as well.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

The last play was a fake injury too which is hilarious.

It's hard to have a visceral reaction to it anymore, since we do it as much as anyone since last year.

I just start offering thoughts and prayers to Lampley before the XP

Gold

Dude probably has a nickname like
Provolone

Man…. Could you imagine taking smack having lost like 90% of the last 40 years?

[therickbol]

You think we have OL faster than Bru?

He is not wrong. Bru would definitely lose a few steps running on one leg.

“Up Yours, Geno” helmet decals?

An interesting QB I would like to see us swing for is Brock Vandagriff, his family apparently used to have season tickets here or his mom went to ut or something like that. But he is likely going to transfer, and he will likely have 2 years of eligibility and could really help our qb room

Just don’t see that happening. Brock is not going to come here and sit behind Nico. We may look for a transfer QB, but I don’t see us getting one of that caliber. Would love it though.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I think it is good to clarify that description. Lazy and no work ethic only applies to football. He is a great young man who will most likely have a great career in the business world. But football is really just a means to an end for him; a free education and the network he is a part of as a former UT player. Football is not a passion for him. Football is not important enough to him for him to fulfill his physical potential. He is not uber competitive or driven on the football field.

Football related only. Just doesn’t want to put in the max effort. Hopefully he will

 

[UTProf]

If that's the same play I saw last night, they called holding against US the very next play.
