Recruiting Football Talk VII

[BearCat204]

Havent seen it posted anywhere, but how did Bru's surgery go and any updates on his recovery? That looked like a nasty af injury.

Lol

He does get more playing time in games where we have a big lead. Misleading stat. I am certainly not degrading Sampson at all. But that is simply stat manipulation to insinuate a different correlation than what it really was. Saying all that.....excited to see Sampson leave the Iowa defenders with broken ankles all over the field!

Hang on to your cheez-its. It's coming.

VOLS football is also must see for me, especially now with Nico as quarterback. I will admit, it was bad during Butch and Pruitt last years, but we didn't do bowls anyway then.

 

[Devo182]

Chaps my backside that Drinkwitz has achieved just as much as Heupel.

How so lol

Based on winning a certain tier bowl (vs QB3 ) or going "11-2"?

Superficially equal, only.


Let's see:
Mizzou - 2 ranked wins all year () v #25 and a QB3 OSU, no MJHjr, etc
+12 ppg
Highest cfp rank 9th

Tenn - 4 ranked wins, including #1 Alabama with reigning Heisman, LSU with future Heisman in their building, reigning ACC champs Pitt, and current ACC champs Clemson with the best-parented 5* QB all-time
+24 ppg
Highest cfp rank #ONE

Lol agreed.


Literally saying we’re guaranteed to win because Sampson is about to easily get 10+ touches.


Every time this dude tweets, I can’t help but roll my eyes.

I think we have 10 EEs.

Nationally speaking

The USSR is officially created....For all you "commies" out there.


A 1922 treaty between Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Transcaucasia (modern Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) formed the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The newly established Communist Party, led by Marxist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, took control of the government. At its peak, the USSR would grow to contain 15 Soviet Socialist Republics.

Nobody (even me) just sees sunshine and roses. I don’t think you only see what could go wrong. You just get frustrated that some want to scream like a two year old brat because they didn’t consider it might not be the way they want. I never knew men could be so controlled by their emotions until I got on here lol.

I’m an absolute sunshine pumper.
Only I see sunshine and American Daisies! (Source of Pantone 151).

A true VFL will never scream like a 2 year old brat. JMO.

Trying to catch up is getting easier when I figured out how to scroll through the bitching over a very good recruiting class. How to skip all the posts about the football drama queens and attention whores (deion and kiffin to name a couple).

Unfortunately, it’s been like panning for gold trying to find the good posts lately.

Happy Holidays VN!

At most schools Day would be fine. Their fans are not reasonable and will want him fired tonight.

I mean, maybe he would and maybe he wouldn’t. Ryan Day started his HC career with a silver spoon in his mouth. If he actually had to build a competing roster at an average school.. could he do it? He’s not going to get this situation below at every school he goes to.

 

[DD4ME]

This is even more hilarious after the game

 

[Devo182]

Meh...this is a big deal for tgem....Mizzou has almost never done anything of note, and were written off as refuse before this season.

One thing I remember is right before they joined the SEC they had a couple years of big success. Think they even reached #1 for a poll or two. Had a decent team coming into the league. Also had a very good coach.

That state puts out a surprising number of top 100 recruits. St louis produces. Besides that, yeah the program is handtied. But a good enough coach could make them mid-SEC YoY

Too early to tell, but Drinkowitz is trending positively in recruiting, development, on the field. I was impressed how they got better over this season

It's funny that you mentioned you don't watch pro sports anymore because I'm in the same boat. I quit watching pro sports when some of the players started kneeling for the National Anthem.
Since my remote has a button for changing channels, I used it extensively. Before I knew it, I didn't miss watching pro sports, so I just never went back. I'm just into the college game now and that's mainly Tennessee sports when they're on TV.

Totally agree.
Once college football is over, I will watch some pro football.
No need to ever watch pro basketball.
Pretty much the same with pro baseball.

Exceptions: Superbowl and World Series. I watched a lot of baseball because of the Rangers.

I pray that college sports don’t become the same as the professional sports. No heart or soul anymore.

With that said:

Go Big Orange in every sport!

That's really good.

Turning attention back to Tennessee. Nico needs to be the man and this offense needs to bounce back to what we saw last year. Our defense needs to make huge strides, especially the LBs and secondary. Not talking about for the bowl game. This offseason is a big one. This team needs to come together into something special. Lot of work to be done before next season.

If we see 5-6 plays from Nico like we saw in the orange and white game and throughout the season, it should be enough to build his confidence and win the game.

I played all 3 sports growing up...

By far it's harder to hit a baseball than anything...
