Recruiting Football Talk VII

[mrMet]

Much appreciated!

Be prepared to be waiting a bit to leave wherever you park though. I’ve never parked on Broadway in garage for a Titans game because I Uber but that might honestly be your best bet for quick access to leave. I’m not entirely sure

The 2 bye weeks should be the trend going forward. Start a week early if needed. Does a few good things for college athletes including rest and recovery. It’s going to be a real grind for those in the playoffs along with full class load, etc.

The analysis for the football program was more than just turning ourselves in. People can debate it all they want, but it led to firing a bad football coach for cause, saving $10 million (minus expenses) and ultimately causing further investigations by the NCAA on our campus. It also resulted in the coach getting a show cause which currently prevents him from getting a job at Bama. In hindsight, the correct moves were made.

I can still accept that we may not "win at all costs." I am as competitive as the next person, but integrity does still mean something to me, especially as an alum of the university.

I read we saved 4.6 million. 12.6 million buyout - 8 million in fines (not even sure that includes expenses/billable hours). I wanted Pruitt fired as much as the next guy, but what exactly did he do that lacked integrity? Firing him in the circus show way we did set an extremely high bar for college administration stupidity.

I really have no clue. TNF has been going over last 3 weeks but both these teams are big bags of garbage so I’m not entirely sure what the play is lol

Under a mile for sure. Prefer less than that. Not too concerned on $. Just want to be able to get out and head east without too much hassle.

Just land a shuttle craft with the fold up wings right next to the stadium and post a squad of storm troopers to guard it while you head to the game. No problemo.

Aged cheeses have most of the lactose removed by the cheese culture. You might be able to enjoy some of them still.

There's definitely a cheese culture around here.

@butchna don't understand why Wizards and Capitals would move to Virginia....

That whole D.C/Maryland/Virginia corridor is one big metropolis…kinda like DFW.

Sorry, but I can't see 9 wins on this schedule. First, we have 4 sure losses in UF, Bama, UGA and OU. Second, I'll believe road wins when I see them. NC St is a "neutral site" in Charlotte and @Arky are 2 huge opportunities, but away from Neyland? Nah. I'd hope for a split of those 2 games and hope we can hold serve at home. 7 is about right......assuming our portal prospects remain as they appear a this point in time. Now if they go out and fill our needs with really good players, my confidence level goes up by a game....maybe 2.

9-3 could get a playoff birth

How much are you wanting to pay vs how far you want to walk?

Congratulations and thank you!

UT is allocating resources at a "win now" level. Football should not take a step back next year-- not with the resources invested in this program. The expectation is to compete for championships, and that is the goal every year. Sooner or later, investment and results will have to sync. I'd go with sooner.

Think we are in a calm “before the storm” scenario with recruiting?

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Maybe 2025 we will get a break from UGA and Bama during the regular season.

And then we can beat them in the playoff.

 

[Orangeburst]

not for long

hey Trippie..weed will replace corn as the state agriculture staple

what makes OU such an automatic loss?

Yeah, that's happening.

Best wishes for a great "retirement" that keeps you busy with things you "want" to do instead of "have" to do with those you care about and serve. God bless.

Do you call it a "flyover" or a "flypast"? . .
