Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Orange_Crush]

Hope your therapist can help you work through how easily triggered you are by me. Godspeed.

Pretty clumsy attempt to divert focus from being so woefully and utterly wrong.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

Honestly, how stupid is the NCAA to think they can retroactively enforce rules on the members that allow them to exist? Especially powerful ones.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

It’s funny that Texas players all ride Lamborghinis & McLarens, yet here we are

 

[Jimmy Football]

What a world we live in. Recruiting sites publicly list dollar values in the hundreds of thousands for these players, yet the NCAA is pushing itself into an existential battle over plane rides and cab fare.

 

[Devo182]

#1 favorite moment in all of HIMYM.

That light up of Marshall's face puts us in stitches every time.

 

[Devo182]

Today I learned that no player who finished their college career with Bama has ever scored a point in the Super Bowl

Holy ish.

Even Namath?

 

[Jimmy Football]

Holy ish.

Even Namath?

Passing tds don’t count (for the passer).

 

[DD4ME]

Donde's letter was strong and full of legal arguments. This is not rolling over, this is rolling the chamber and asking who feels frisky.

 

[Orangeburst]

 

[eVOLve]

There’s no way to spin this as a positive considering we never do the LSU or UNC thing. We will bend over again and lose everything before we ever give the NCAA the finger.

Uhhh

 

[Devo182]

Win by 15+ .Go Vols..

Curious to see how DK plays back at home.

This would make...game #5 or 6 in a row with 25+(?)

 

[Orangeburst]

Sankey just needs to tell them that the SEC backs Vols, and they will whimper away. Question is if Sankey will do it.

 

[knoxvol52]

Exactly! (Sorry I couldn't respond earlier.) Saban is trying to cap NIL directly or by establishing a salary cap to de facto bring back Bama's punishment-immune bag-game advantage. He'll be working Congress for special permission to violate anti-trust law. And working the broadcast-booth bully pulpit of the broadcast booth and his media suck ups. He is still committed to that.

We saw how Saban was never investigated, and we saw how Michigan had the NCAA intentionally stalling for Harbaugh for 2 years, and is still waiting on him to go to tbe NFL before they (maybe) do something. But did you notice the NCAA just went after FSU and put them on probation with alacrity? Threatened Bama's unmerited playoff spot, and Kirby turned them in, apparently. The NCAA is all about favorites and their rivals.

Orange will be on his death bed minutes from leaving this world and his last request will be able to post how Saban runs college football.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

Great. He’s a nerd

A friend of mine and a UT alum applied for the position and lost out to that dude

 

[Devo182]

Passing tds don’t count (for the passer).

Incredible regardless.

Poverty program

 

[Jimmy Football]

Sankey just needs to tell them that the SEC backs Vols, and they will whimper away. Question is if Sankey will do it.

If it gets to that point. He’s happy to let us squirm in the meantime.

Started during MSU game I believe ..

 

[Devo182]

Did anyone see the ending of the show The Curse?

What th-

If I was Plowman, I would demand it. None of this festering hanging over our heads.

 

[Devo182]

Hey, what do you all think about Taylor Swift being at the Super Bowl?

Let's talk about it.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Did anyone see the ending of The Curse?

What th-

No, it’s apparently still hovering over the program.

 

[volsagain]

UT may be the school that breaks the camels back when it comes to the NCAA. With Donde’s response to the NCAA, we for sure know that the football program has the support from the entire university from the top down. We’re in good shape. All of college football should be on our side because if they go after us, they’ll go after just about anyone.

I say we just App. Plowman Head Commissioner of College Football. F the ncaa .

 

[Devo182]

Did we really land on the moon or nah?

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Holy ish.

Even Namath?

Namath, who completed 17 out of 28 passes for 206 yards, was named as the Super Bowl's most valuable player, making him the first player in Super Bowl history to be declared MVP without personally scoring or throwing for a touchdown.

Not even a passing TD by any of their QBs
