Recruiting Football Talk VII

I think that is very true. But that is when really learn the importance keeping their hands off.

I can not blame our boys...it is open season on them...looks like a f'n 3 man tag team NWA match with the 4 Horsemen throwing Figure 4s and Arn Anderson Armbars on our pass rushers.with impunity.

It must be a rule that every show on the SEC Network has to evolve in to a Nick Saban love fest! Trying to watch SEC this Morning and had to turn it off!

They have Milroe as Heisman winner and Bama in the playoffs! It’s sickening!

 

[Volnut]

Vols have their 2nd best record (7-2) through 9 games they’ve had in 15 years. Best record was last season (8-1).

Occasional reminder to thank the football gods for DW and Josh Heupel. And that there is not a damn thing to complain about.

Well there's still the officiating.

Warren Moon endorsement…

Thought it was 3 days? No less impressive, but if he’s there a full five days, he gets some practice and film study time…maybe even a Cliff’s Notes on their cadences.

Year 3, can't finish worse than 7-5...3rd season bowling under Heupel.

I'm pretty damn happy and still feel like the best is yet to come under Hype.

Missouri is a very good offense, we need to score TDs and not settle for FGs or shoot ourselves in the foot with pre-snap penalties. I don't know how this game will be officiated, but I'm not banking on us getting any real help there. Control what we can control and play 4 quarters.

Need to run for 250+ and Joe keep doing what he's done since A&M. Defense hopefully built back some confidence with how they handled UConn and many starters got most of the game off too. We take care of business and Ole Miss pulls off the upset and us having Georgia with a trip to Atlanta on the line will be huge momentum for what was supposed to be a down year.

I absolutely love this!

Jay Graham on out offensive line: "Our guys love to pull. That's when you know you got a real guy. They don't pull tentative, man. They're like, 'slow feet don't eat.'... 'I'm going through you full speed. I'm on the train. You get off the tracks.'"

This is what I was talking about last week that we are not running just the normal zone blocking one might expect with this offense. We are emphasizing power football in the ground game.

Graham and Aaron Hayden: 2 great VFL RBs in that conversation, praising the big guys up front.

“Fahr Ellarbee…Cain’t recruit!”

This list is horrific.

Running through the T.
Kinnick wave.
FSU Spear plant.
Army-Navy.
Vol Navy.
Running of Ralph in Colorado.
Dotting of the I.

Considering we've not had a RB leave yet for the draft under Heupel that seems like a dumb take, but I think that's part of it. Plus this is the first year where the media has actually talked about how good of a running team we are despite us being a top rushing team in the SEC in all 3 years under Heupel.

Heup didn’t invent this offense…. it has been around a little while..I don’t think there has ever been a stud qb, wr, or RB play in the NFL… The closest has been RGIII( injured)…. Gabe Davis came close to a thousand yards one season….There is a perception that our guys are system players…. it won’t change until they start dominating in the NFL.

There are legit reasons to be concerned about his recruiting…. This class appears really solid though.

Just look at Hyatt. The Giants don't let him do anything but run streaks. He can do more but the perception is streaks are all he can do.

“Concern” away. I’m enjoying the best OL coaching since Fulmer under Majors.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

So yeah, our RB room is full of talent and they're finally getting the appropriate praise/attention they should from the media talking heads. HS RBs should be lining up at our door!!!!

Of course. As usual, ...

Bama expects to get away with anything because that's the precedent. Nothing sticks to them. They'll keep doing what they're doing until enough people get hurt and the SEC is forced to stop them. Bama and UGA are cash cows. Other teams could be, but it's harder to get there than to stay there, especially when facing unfavorable scheduling. It will be hard to dethrone Saban or Kirby, which has given UT a very difficult path. But not impossible with UT's resources.

UT knows it has to take what it wants on the field. Sankey only stood with UT at the NCAA hearing because it was self-serving. CJH, Barnes and TV have put the SEC on notice-- we're coming. The unified support across UT's marquee sports is no accident-- that's the plan.

Crazy how many people on here repost blatant click bait. Whenever I see those, I'm like "nobody would ever fall for such an overt attempt at drumming up clicks."

Then I come here and 10 people have posted it or reacted to it.

How do you beat 14 on 11.

The refs gifted UGA 3 last weekend that pretty much put the game out of reach.

1899 for me.

Vols cheerleaders are the best cheerleaders. My story, I'm sticking with it.

I was speaking of NFL.... cheerleaders..not College...and yes the..Volunteers.cheerleaders are the best by default....but to be honest I rarely pay attention to college cheer teams...

They're going to have to do it on the field. Sending post-game reports to the SEC is a non-starter. Interns can stack compilation tapes to the upper deck to no effect.

I know it's not have TN has chosen to do things, but I wish multiple SEC coaches would go scorched earth in the media.
Dorkwitz last week, Lane this week, Heupel next.
Jimbo could've earlier in the season.
Then at media days next year keep firing shots. Make it obvious to the media what's going on.

We are blessed. It's been a long and bumpy road to get here but our administration and coaches seem top notch.
