Recruiting Football Talk VII

[MarcoVol]

I think the difference was over signing. It was easier to over sign, and take a chance on guys. So glad they capped these classes at 25 to help make it 'easier to rebuild a team.' Such BS, it is and always has been to allow Bama an easier road to Atlanta.

You think the NCAA capped the classes to help Bama make it to ATL?

SIAP, but this is pretty cool! And Neyland at night is shown pretty early in the commercial…Rocky Top gonna take over the United Kingdom

Thought that was an SEC rule, the 'Houston Nutt Rule?'

College GameDay going to James Madison is just awesome. This atmosphere is already 10x better than when they go to Georgia, Alabama, or Oregon for they 1000th time.

There have been some truly putrid and boring environments this year, but man these JMU fans are getting lit. It always means more when it goes to a smaller school that experiences something for the first time.

Inspired by Nutt and started in SEC but NCAA adopted.

I enjoyed it when they went to Bozeman last year too. Seeing new environments is good for the schools

It’s good for the game, too. The only counter argument would be they went to Duke for the first time this year and that was arguably the quietest and most boring atmosphere in about 5 years, but those nerds only care about basketball so it was a bad choice to begin with. Smaller schools get jacked up for this stuff.

Napoleon 🩶would want me to post this morning!!

It’s Football Time In Tennessee!!
Let’s F’n Go!!

Probably get the dumpster here, but Butch Jones did recruit pretty good ...but couldn't coach worth a damn in game ...

Don't give him too much credit, he was lucky to have so many high quality legacy players !

 

[TheBigOne10]

Well let’s roll the ball out and give it our best today. Give it our best and be at peace with the result. Lay it all on the line.

 

[TheBigOne10]

I will literally vomit if Beck sits back and picks us apart today. I’d rather see us get burned deep than to see that sob escape with a clean jersey.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Can’t tell you how awful 4 different random Georgia fans at work were yesterday. I was helping set up for some holiday meals at one my plants and didn’t even know these particular people….I just sat there and took it. I keep receipts. They are THE WORST fanbase, and from working just across the border in North GA, it’s really not even close. I was wearing a black UT polo, and didn’t even know these people. They came out of their way to completely attack me lol. They are psychotic.

Dillion Bates who was a bust, the Berry twins and Todd Kelly Jr....was only legacy players he had..but I do forget sometimes maybe there were more...Oh yes and Nigel Warrior....

 

[MarcoVol]

3 straight winning seasons and some of y’all acting like all the sudden we should be competing with Bama and UGA in recruiting….and seem disappointed we aren’t

I should have said highly rated players. I know they weren't great but did boost the preception. Keeping Dobbs and the Tennessee players was his greatest accomplishment.

 

[jacobyvoln27]

App State was awesome last year! As far as Duke they already knew the Coach would be gone at the end of the year and know with A&M pockets he is a no brainer! Smart move for A&M he will bring them back.

 

[TheRain]

Heup's real offense will be rolling very soon. I would have liked to have seen Dobbs run it for one season anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[knoxvol52]

We could sign over 25 a class. There were some powder puff ****'s in there.

Botch benefitted from a generational in state class. Still he went out and got it done. Still he missed on prettiest QB this side of Clemson, Higgins, and Tee's boy.

Reason Jones lost Trevor Lawrence was he was all in on Justin Fields instead....rolled the dice and lost on both...Higgins fell for Dabo's charm lol...

Agree. Going to have to be willing to take risks and send the house at him today and see if he can be forced into a few mistakes. Taking the bend but don’t break approach will play right into Georgia’s hands.

 

[knoxvol52]

No need to guess where College GameDay will be next week...Ann Arbor, Michigan here they come...

 

[drvenner]

To hell with Georgia! Smokey is better!

You call your wife Smokey? Or is that her real name?

 

[JacketVol]

I think if the refs start calling this game unfairly, we start playing unfairly

Had this same convo with someone in the AD yesterday

What do you mean by “keeping Dobbs”? He flipped Dobbs from Arizona State.

Harbaugh will be the guest picker

Why sit there and take it. There’s no reason.
