Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Rishvol]

Could be why Harper is moving to Knoxville

 

[BigSteve09]

line starting to move up to -2.5 and -3

wonder if some news leaked out about the WR

 

[Rishvol]

Let me guess - the better team wins most of the time?

Or is there another algorithm I need to beat Vegas, since they aren't in on it?

Yes because that's why bama beat both Tennessee and LSU without giving up a point in the second half

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I heard that this week is our super bowl... Seems about right.

5* Recruits should be pouring in here! Who wouldn't want to play in a Super Bowl every week?!

Early Sharp $ imo.

I mentioned taking it up to -4.5 the other day. I think it moves to around -3.5 or even -4.5 by kickoff. Personally, I think we win by 9+.

Early Sharp $ imo.

Yea ....no way Burden doesn't play....Drink will wheel chair Burden onto the field....to much at stake for Him not to play...

Michigan will apparently have Harbaugh in tow for a major game over the weekend on the road, one with league title implications.

Hey VN...........

I don't do stuff like this, but I know the love and compassion on this forum.

I have to put down my golden lab Phoebe today after 15 years. She truly saved my life during some very difficult life experiences. She has been my best friend since the day I brought her home and will be missed more than anyone can imagine.
Some thoughts and prayer would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

People hold your breath...and see which happens first ... Harbaugh getting suspended or ...dying from lack of oxygen...I say the latter...

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Have you seen this kid live? In warm-ups? I was never impressed with Dobbs throwing ability, it was serviceable. Dobbs was an amazing athlete and an improviser. (Condredge 2.0)
Nico is a smooth as silk great athlete, has a cannon, and is very accurate. In game he looks very poised and confident, except when he runs. If someone looks at Nico and can't see he's something special then they don't know what they are looking at.
If you want to see something impressive go watch a video of him playing volleyball in HS.

How much of that is based on him being rated a 5 star and you emotionally investing in that hype panning out?

I'm not saying Nico won't be great. I just think his star rating has more to do with your belief in his abilities than anything he's actually done at Tennessee.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Clausen is #2 in yards

So based on #'s....Arian Foster is the 2nd best back in UT history? Got it.

TDs are more important than yards. Dobbs is 2nd in TDs. That makes him 2nd best.

Buddy I been watching ball for near 50 years, coaching 30 years and been pretty successful. I know good stuff when I see it. Emotion has nothing to do with my opinion. Just like I know good food when I see it and I know what to do with it.

 

[drvenner]

I take back all the mean things I said about him earlier.

I don't. He's still a putz.

Man this has got to be some sort of a record!

 

[bpalmer28]

Vols slowly turning into DBU and you Willie haters can’t even see it. First he elevated Alontae Taylor’s draft stock and put Theo into the league. Now he’s revitalized Hadden’s career and likely has him in position to get drafted as well. With Ricky Gibson III, Cai Bates, Jordan Matthews, and Boo Carter we will have dynamic athletic covering the entire field. Now with the pressure that Garner’s gang will assuredly produce, we will have the elite defense we’ve all been craving for 20 years

 

[Devo182]

We are probably 1st in the nation if first down runs aren't taken into account, which is also where the teeth gnashing comes from

There's strong statistical evidence showing passing on 1st down is superior to running on 1st down.

The ole "get ahead of the sticks" folk knowledge is overall poor advice (in general, not for a specific team, we may be an exception IDK).

Like plenty of "common sense"...what's commonly agreed upon is wrong...fade the public

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Wow

This sounds worse than Bruce Pearl's bbq lies. . . should get a worse punishment.

 

[drvenner]

When walking off a penalty against them I would take really big steps.

When you announce the penalty, please be sure to include Double Gauldens to their bench.

Might as well cheat.

For anyone in the housing market….first objective..find the secret liquor stash

Legendary Tennessee football coach Johnny Majors' home on the Tennessee River goes up for sale

Johnny Majors retired in 1996 as a legendary coach at Tennessee and Pitt. The home where he spent his later years overlooking the Tennessee River is up for sale.

Ohio State at Michigan Nov 25 at the Big House in Ann Arbor already had massive implications…

Now the spice level will be at an all-time high after the Jim Harbaugh suspension
