Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Ace]

Orrrrr, he’s covering for Tom Brady, because he and Brady are best friends. If Brady gets in trouble for this, then they open up the “deflate gate” again, Brady then loses all his Super Bowl rings, Manning rightfully takes his throne as greatest QB of all time.

Let it be written, let it be done.

Vols or Volunteers is the proper name of the team. You are a fan of the Vols, hence a Vols fan. It's grammatically correct, weird sound notwithstanding.

That’s true. No one says I’m a Titan fan, I’m a Bengal fan, I’m a Bear fan.

I find it comical how Michigan is acting through this entire situation. You got caught cheating, destroying evidence, and giving your cheating ring to other programs to influence results of other games as well. You are not a victim. You would think they would just shut their mouths and try and take the spotlight off themselves a bit through this whole thing.

While I agree with you about how they're acting. It is still a great way to inspire and unite the entire team.

You forgot his permanent ban from the NFL Hall of Fame.

You betcha. It was in '68. I was watching it on TV until they cut away from if for Heidi. Why, is that odd? We did have TV's back then. Indoor plumbing, too.

I watched it, too (I was a young girl then) Raiders were my favorite team. We called it the Heidi Bowl!

 

[Jack Burton]

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

Laying eggs in winnable games like Florida and Missouri must be making things more difficult though.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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

I love the place

We’re not on that level yet where we win every game that is winnable. Part of the climb

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Is he an edge rusher?

What difference would it make since the SEC lets literally everybody maul our DL with impunity?

 

[TN-POSSUM]

So, I saw some ants running in my garden the other day and it looked like there was about 9 of them. After seeing one additional ant with them, I decided to build them a little house so they could by my tenants.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Where do I apply?

You could probably get a hefty gofundme going based on that promise.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Anyone else have zero interest in watching those red schools play in the SEC title?

Can't STAND it

Best possible outcome is that Tennessee wins today. bama beats uga in the SECCG game and elimiates uga from the playoffs. Then bama ends up in 5th or 6th place and also misses the playoffs.
Can anyone come up with a way that texas also misses the playoffs? Don’t want them in either.

UT +9.5
I'd take it, but I don't like betting games like this one.

($ poured in on UGA & the spread, but the line moved the opposite direction)

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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.

It is literally criminal...and there is almost no point in even watching anymore...it is infuriating that nobody does anything about it.

What kills me are the stupid dumbasses on VN that refuse to acknowledge that the SEC has absolutely castrated our defense since the A&M and SC games...our DLs do not just suddenly suck, they were killing everybody.

The SEC (Bamas puppets) are not going to let us get back to our rightful place....period.

I feel for our players that are getting cheated, and I feel for our coaches trying to recruit elite players when those players know by now that they will not get fair competition if they sign with Tennessee...

You naysayers can call me whatever you want...I don't care anymore...you're all blind fools.

They lose to Iowa St today. But I guess that would move Bama up

No way..losing in Big 12 Championship game is a better opportunity for them to lose.. especially if it's Oklahoma again..

 

[Enki_Amenra]

They should do a Clinic Bowl for James Madison and the best P5 team that didnt make a bowl.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Mizzou has the 45th ranked class, Gamecocks 19th, Auburn 16th, Clemson 17th opposed to us at 12th (and not finished) and we'll see what Florida's final tally is with them losing a four star every day and DJ Lagway ripe for poaching. Guess the heart wants...

Awesome. Why cant we have as many as we can get. Let's poach. Laws knows its happened to us, 11ty billion times.

 

[InVOLuntary]

There’s some crazy stuff at play.. has to be. I’ve watched football my whole life and I’ve never seen it as blatant as it’s been the last couple of years.. especially this year

It's because too many people are sheep. They don't believe it's possible for an organization to be corrupt. I can't understand where their faith comes from.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Why did Randy Moss go to Marshall? Was he not that big of a prospect or something?

 

[volinexile17]

Prediction:

Vols 423
Pups -2

Gonna be a good day.

 

[Glitch]

To hell with Georgia! Smokey is better!

Ma'am....blink twice if you are being held against your will. We will get help.

up in arms about it will change anything.
