Recruiting Football Talk VII

[headhunter15]

Been driving all day and saw the Nico news! Exciting times and cannot wait for Monday.

Latinos are also pulling up NBA numbers, on the younger side...a projection of the future. Found that a bit surprising, but if we're comparing only US sports...the MLS ain't there yet...and basketball is very international as well, not soccer level ofc, but up there.

That's why Goodell is having regular season games in other countries now...

Trying to capture the international fan base.

Greedy *******.....

 

[volbeast33]

it doesn't move the needle for me.

Epcot and the futuristic stuff would be cool. I love mid century futuristic stuff. Mickey Mouse frankly, sucks.

Dollywood is superior in every single way. Waay cooler rides. Its all about the roller coasters.

i don’t really enjoy theme parks…. too expensive….. lines are too long…. the weather…. The one time i did enjoy it…. we went to six flags on a monday and it came a huge storm right before it opened…. We were in that theme park practically by ourselves…. we would ride a roller coaster and tell the guy that we wanted to stay on…. it was amazing!!!!

now thats a cool story.

Thank you for letting us secure our future.

Additionally, I think Heupel should had left Joe at home and let him go train for his future as an undrafted free agent

[Vols4us]

Didn’t know I’d have a long lost father in here

There are all sorts of oddities in here.

 

[I4Jay]

A little bit of harsh “Negavol” coming from me:
This team had the identity of their leader. And it’s why they didn’t win any big games.
The “leader” was too accessible and too much of a cool guy. Likable doesn’t equate to being a good leader. Joe’s a very likeable guy but not the vociferous, win at all cost alpha that this team needed.

 

[SSVol]

What's the proper word? Professor

Less about what they let him do than what he was able to do.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Am I the only one that cares more about winning than just an exhibition of players? Yeah, excited to see them but really want to win.

I want a seamless, huge, dominating win where Nico balls out and the secondary smothers, so that I can watch it on repeat all offseason and develop huge expectations.

Gonna have it the night before, but on game day, I be a smokin' and a grillin'.

And last year when the team folded vs SCar, was that bc HH was a poor leader that would fold under expectations?

 

[Devo182]

Most importantly this will make for a very thrilling game day thread. It could get to biblical levels of in either direction in the FF.

Deer god. Someone grab us the antler spray just in case

I know we're all fawning over Nico. After all, 8 million is a lot of doe to spend. Honestly, I just want to hit the offseason running and our team feeling like a million bucks.

I agree with you. Joe gave the appearance of being too comfortable losIng. That might have been a front, but i would believe your take. My questiom is it asking too much for Nico to shoulder that shift this early in his career?

What a sweet way to say you excel in

[mykidturnedmeintoaVOL]

you go to disney by yourselves?

Yep! Low crowds with a lot of Epcot time eating and drinking around the world…throw in some Star Wars stuff for my husband… we have a great time!

We enjoy other theme parks too but Disney is our favorite. I’m a proud Vol lovin’ Disney Adult!

I thought the rumor was they had our plays and the defense was out of sorts due to the benching of their alpha.

Check out the Bowl Game mayo nachos.

Ah yes, the rumors

Agreed… I saw this last year too

There were confirmed team issues starting with Mr. banks. Banks was the defensive leader plain and simple the collapse was basically that side of the ball, correct? I feel like the offense still moved the ball. I usually watch games two to three times, that was one I just left alone and didn’t revisit so my memory isn’t great

 

[DawgInterloper]

You still have to read it and decide where to go. Hooker was good at seeing it quick. Milton was not. Nico I believe will, but is he ready now?

Yeah, I wasn't saying it's going to be easy for a new starter. Just wondering if Tennessee's offensive scheme may expose some weaknesses in Iowa's well-executed zone coverage.
