Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Lloyd_Christmas]

What do everyone think our RB room looks like next year?

Sampson or Seldon for RB1. I know everyone thinks it's a lock that Sampson will start, but he still struggles with protecting the QB at times. If Seldon gets good at blocking, then he could end up being the guy the coaches trust the most. I think that competition will be tight all spring and fall. Either way, both of them are going to play a lot if they're healthy and it's pretty exciting to think about two dynamic playmakers like that at RB with Nico at QB. Keith, Bishop, and Lewis are probably competing for the third spot.

GO VOLS! Win or lose...I'm proud to be a Tennessee man!

We went to Roatan on a cruise and really enjoyed it!

Now you're just tempting me. Having a Boris and Natasha toy, or any Bullwinkle dog toy would be effing excellent.

Should have named him Boris.

If we go 8-4, we’ll do better than Music City. But also, just no. I will never voluntarily give up a TN football game.

Idk...that matchup with Rutgers just doesn't get my blood pumping.

Idk...that matchup with Rutgers just doesn't get my blood pumping.

At this point I’ll take an easy win.

Is he an edge rusher?

This aged poorly

I think I'm the opposite. After beating 5 ranked teams last year*, the wins against teams like UCONN, UVA, Vandy, etc. are just appetizers for big games. They're just expected Ws now. Gotten very spoiled in 3 years thanks to Heup but it is what it is.

This feels like that one friend throughout college that was your favorite person to smoke with then saying he needs to stop smoking ..

No bias here. Nothing to see.

Lots of edibles available to replace the bong hits.

Its a covert mission,

though, tossing an iron sickle dog toy is a bit over the top, huh? Makes for an entertaining morning sipping a cup-a-joe from Dark Brandon mug, wearing birkenstocks, socks, and a Nikita Kholov tee shirt, whilst playing fetch.

All that says is he isnt smoking anymore.

There are cannibidoids/cannibis/marijuanas galore made in other forms.

Smoking that jazz cabbage is not harmless to your lungs, good on Snoop.

By no means has Tennessee played to its potential, but they have had some legit criminal officiating by the SEC.

While it is nice to have objective data, the real insidious aspect of this trend isn't the lack of penalties in terms of objective number of penalties and yards, but rather the refusal to enforce certain types of penalties (holding) which completely alters the game in favor of our opponents by negotiating the strength of our defense (and subsequently overexposing the weakness of our defense)

Sure, on the surface, we lose some sack yards and corresponding offensive output the sacks would have prevented. However, once a team knows they won't be called for offensive holding, they can not only block with impunity but change their entire gameplan. Meanwhile, as much as I dislike our zone defense, it's hard to stay in man-to-man when you know you won't be able to pressure the quarterback effectively.

So, while having objective statistics to validate what we witness in games is nice, the true effect of this officiating disparity is much bigger than even the objective data leads credence to.

Hondo.

I think the chocolate covered dank is more his speed anyway.

Disagree with RG3 here. This isn't a court case. It's NCAA. It's already proven they cheated. That's not a question. Whats being investigated is how many within the program knew and enabled or directed.

Vacate the wins where Stallions was on the sideline and Michigan is disqualified by default. That simple.

You CANNOT have a situation where Michigan wins or even where Michigan takes the spot of another worthy team when you know they're going to get stripped of everything inevitably.

Agreed. Also, the BIG10 is well within their rights to suspend him. They have the evidence. They don’t know need to wait until the NCAA makes a decision. They need to make the best decision for their conference with what they know as fact right now at this moment. That is their obligation to their other members.
