Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Devo182]

The annual “prop up PSU to give Michigan and Ohio State one good win each”. It will happen again next year, too.

Or maybe they're simply the 3rd best B1G team. They're the first team to be within 24 points of Michigan...or even score more than 13 on them.

It's like people cranking on us or LSU, etc as frauds...there are simply tier 2 teams, for a reason.

Not sure why anyone thinks the teams ranked 9th-15th should be comparable to the top 3 teams in the country week in and week out. There are gaps. Sizeable ones. That's football.

Rank another team higher and folks will still complain How about Louisville? People were trashing them too. Oregon St? Utah?

 

[Orange.]

Yet UK has only scored 6 less points vs Bama than they did vs Vols

Tennessee is a better team than Bama without Birmingham rigging the game.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I took Tennessee at -6.5 lmao

I did -1.5, but would've went to -4.5 if I had more guts.

 

[tnvols72]

Same. Our pass defense is still the same and we are out our best corner

This is my only worry in this game, our secondary

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Glad you're throwing him out instead of me.

 

[UTProf]

I believe you’re confusing McConkey with Oscar Delp

I might be but the overall point is they don't need Bowers (especially don't need him to play soon after injury). They're loaded at TE. Have the market cornered on cornfed athletic white boys.

3rd best team in the Big is like saying who is the prettiest fat girl.

If you think our pass defense is anywhere as bad as last year you are sadly mistaken

 

[The Dog]

I took Tennessee at -6.5 lmao

I jacked the Vols basketball team up to -7.5, last night and won. So, play on, playa and good luck. Scared money don't win none

 

[UpstateVol613]

I hate Michigan is getting credit for a Top10 win. It’s not right. Penn St. are gatekeepers for Michigan and Ohio St.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Time to see what level of miserable I’ll be the rest of the night. Please play well.

 

[Ace]

Not going to be able to watch the first half of the game, if not more. Going to try and follow through a mix of ESPN GameCast and the game thread. I want the hot takes and the play by play.

You are at a wedding, aren’t you?
Come on admit it

 

[RikidyBones]

I did -1.5, but would've went to -4.5 if I had more guts.

I figure if I'm at 4.5, then might as well call it a TD game and get the extra bit of juice.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Good! More snaps for James Pearce!

 

[UpstateVol613]

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Best alumni? Idk...

 

[Devo182]

Was so awesome back when Miami-FSU was one of THE games.

 

[Vol423]

Lol! Yes it will result in losses sometimes. But it will result in more wins than losses. Thus what makes it analytics. Math is not objective. Billions of sets of data simulated over billions of sets of scenarios doesn't judge a situation based on your personal, emotional experiences.

Simulated...exactly.

 

[Devo182]

Ok I was disinterested before, but now I really want them to lose badly

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Same. Our pass defense is still the same and we are out our best corner

Me thinking about Brady Cook against our Hadden-less secondary is making me nervous.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

View attachment 594519 for your loss…. i’m just the opposite of most.. i didn’t want an indoor dog… always had one for my kids though… That changed when this little dog came into my life. She has won my heart…. i couldn’t imagine my life without her. She is pissed in this pic bc she hates wearing clothes..…

Is she @Weezer ’s daughter? Definitely a family resemblance.

Ps: please apologize to your dog for my statement above.

So much more electric than Bama-LSU or anything involving Georgia the last decade

 

[Devo182]

"Missouri would just like to make it a 4th quarter game"

Quickly some disrespect by Danielson

 

[Devo182]

What's with the camera angles every time at Missouri?

Painful to watch
