Recruiting Football Talk VII

[SugarCC]

Yes. I don’t see any 1996, 2001, 2007 “Close but no cigar” banners hanging anywhere.

Damn, I feel sorry for you, kid. While 96 and 01 where two of the biggest disappointments of my lifetime, we were still one of the top 5 programs in the country, and THAT felt amazing. Wish I had cherished it even more.

Shame you missed it.

Secret train..only available to T-DOT credentialed employees.

I’m assuming sarcasm here

 

[DarthVol1]

Can I ask someone a question, maybe a Spyre/Vol Club member....does any of this go into being picked out for season tickets. I am finally in a position to obtain some season's and hopefully have family start bleeding Tennessee Orange. If you think Tennessee Orange is the orange in Southampton,NY then you are not from up here.

I want to create the fans and then start to work on my donations level and what not.

No, season tickets are through the university and all the donations related to that are for the university.

Yes. I don’t see any 1996, 2001, 2007 “Close but no cigar” banners hanging anywhere.

We definitely have a different perspective on this. I think that would be a fun, successful season.

 

[Brillovol]

This sounds wild to ask but we have a working train in nashville?

Lol yes. It runs from Lebanon through MJ to downtown. Best way to commute…and free!

I remember being 8 in 01 and yelling at the tv that the Iceman sucked… good times lol

 

[Christian Lowe]

Had to put Lowe on ignore. Sorry buddy. You went full nega. Do better and I’ll reconsider.

Thread is much brighter now. Pretty much this…

thanks for the announcement?

 

[SoilVol]

You’re arguing against me with things you think will happen, not anything that already has. Aside from Staes.

And you have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile

 

[Christian Lowe]

We definitely have a different perspective on this. I think that would be a fun, successful season.

It would, but no one would care or remember it later.

 

[SSVol]

It won't placate the negas, but all we know are the recruiting service rankings, we have no idea how the staff ranks them, so we have no idea whether they got what they wanted or are simply filling the class. In the end results on the field are the only meaningful metric, and as TAMU, Clemson, and the '22 Vols have demonstrated, the correlation between class ranking and season success isn't as absolute as you might expect.

No I'm not rationalizing or making excuses, because I don't have all the info and I'm not making predictions one way or the other. I have to idea how it will go, but I'm content to see how it unfolds and will enjoy the ride until the ride isn't enjoyable. The big difference between us is that although we may eventually both be calling for coaches to be fired, I'll be happier in the meantime, while y'all will continue to cling to every negative "fact" in support of your misery. Enjoy your pain.

For whatever reason I feel like you are totally ************ me lol

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I’m Santa Claus to people I like, and I’m the Scrooge to people I don’t best time of the year

Santa Claus you say!

I think Colonel EH Taylor Small batch sounds pretty damn good.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Woah… trying out dark mode.

This is a lot easier to read.

Yeah I’ve been rocking with it since it was in Beta. Definitely a lot easier on the eyes imo.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

lol fat people are funny

That’s the point. If you have higher aspirations, then not achieving them isn’t winning anything. It’s only once you actually suck that you miss almost getting there.

 

[drvenner]

Old man.

Yep. Can't remember where I **** last, but did remember that.

 

[DarthVol1]

Tried it. Hated it.

 

[SoilVol]

Do you guys and others realize our recruiting average is going to likely plummet as the classes closes?

Look at who else were seriously in on:

Sensabaugh (.86),
Wallace (unranked),
the Kent State commit (unranked)
Cole Harrison (.84)
Rodriguez (.87)

*conveniently leaves out McKinley (.986)*

The vanilla and caramel in it mhhhmmm probably the best easily accessible bottle in the BT line

 

[Jackcrevol]

lol fat people are funny

[Orangeburst]

For whatever reason I feel like you are totally ************ me lol

I was able to infiltrate last summer and snapped a pic

 

[mrMet]

*conveniently leaves out McKinley (.986)*

Beware he will call you a weirdo, tell you to put him on ignore, then proceed to put you on ignore

Now we’re talkin

 

[Adam Sandler]

I’m just amazed at the people who don’t use dark mode on volnation.

I feel like it’s easier to read but also it feels weird and is so much to adjust to. It’s like I’m on a whole different website. I’m conflicted.

 

[MemphisVol3]

lol fat people are funny

that video is hilarious
