Recruiting Football Talk VII

[KptVFL]

If I hire a UT athlete to endorse my products, it's absolutely deductible as an advertising expense.

I can see it now........

"In the market for a big fancy floaty thing?....... You need to head on down to @InVOLuntary 's Big Fancy Floaty Thing Emporium...... Tell em Nico sent ya!"

This is an enemy commentator (UGA), but he probably brings some of the best film and player evals of any YouTube person in the space. IMO. At 1:21 he talks about the stakes of the UT QB play in our bowl. It is brief snip, but worth a listen. His stance is this may be a harder freshman start than Bama or UGA due to the expertly disguised zone coverage Iowa runs. He says if Nico plays anything other than trash, he'll be calling him potentially the dude. He's had our number in recent years both positive and our negatives, so this is high praise, but also a warning in case Nico has a rough go.

He also made a wise case on why Milton would want no part in facing a stout NFL style defense prior to likely being the talk of the combine.

But AP said it too. You know, the guy we spend all season saying has no useful info. Now we take what he said as gospel.

AP batting about .206 on the season

Hats off to Joe. He stuck it out, was a great teammate, and continues to be to allow Nico to prepare for next year. He’s been an excellent leader and VFL.

Couldn’t have asked for 2 better leaders than what we’ve had in that room the last 3 years in Hooker and then Joe. Now that torch gets passed to Nico and barring the unexpected I think we see the same from him.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

Spent 5 minutes in the FF when the news broke and immediately regretted it.

Recruiting Forum Rule #147:
If AP or Basilio say anything remotely negative it cannot be true. If it’s rosy then it’s gospel.

No offense Jack, but you are pretty much the only person I remember taking anything TB says as gospel.

If Nico is starting this game....I hope with every fiber of my being that he plays great...or this place will be miserable Idiot Margin hell.

Just playing well ain't gonna cut it...you guys are expecting 350 and 5...or more.

Agree, see the video I posted for an opposing fan base commentator seconding your sentiment. This could be a tough tough game for Nico to have his coming out party.

Richard G West put this tweet out yesterday and everyone took it as fake but now it's true?

It was fake. That was not a real release, the Joe quote is fabricated. This time it ended up being true.

His skill/joke is in taking a shred of information, or a narrative that is rooted in truth, and using it to produce disinformation that is just believable enough to pass as true. I think the idea is to trick people? It's like Tennessee's version of April Fools Day, but every day is April Fools, for some reason. Then people that are "in on the joke" of him being misinformation point and laugh at those that share it as fact.

This time he ended up being right, so it legitimizes him somewhat, and now people will share his post mixed in with real posts. Then the next time he posts something untrue it will catch on quicker because he happened to be right this time. Which is what he wants because more people will share and it will trick more people.

Apparently our O-Line is still makeshift as well. Both Dayne Davis and Jackson Lampley projected to start.

Not ideal against a top 10 defense.

 

[DD4ME]

Nico Time

I am happy, but this makes more sense for Joe than Nico.

Huge challenge for Nico

RGW will end up getting an actual “journalist” fired if he hasn‘t already.

 

[DD4ME]

And 50% of fans just permanently decided to stick with Nico.

 

[butchna]

I enjoy NFL , I suppose having a team I cheer for enhances my interest..

They’ve tapped down the social justice virtue signaling somewhat. The average NFL viewer grew fatigued returning home from one sermon to endure another one on DVR.

I think that already happened.

 

[DD4ME]

Love em or leave em, guy has been a great ambassador for the program.

 

[Rishvol]

Nah it's Immaleava.... With a NC

 

[franklinpence]

Basilio wins again.

Broken clocks and blind squirrels.

 

[Plove23]

That video of Seldon running track plove posted during his recruitment was wild. Cam was so big he looked like he was running against 3rd graders,

Haha. “Club Neyland”. I like that.

 

[Jack Burton]

No offense Jack, but you are pretty much the only person I remember taking anything TB says as gospel.

He doesn’t bat 1.000 but also doesn’t get credit. AP is treated the same sometimes.
