Recruiting Football Talk VII

Also if I am reading it right, 5, 6, 7 and 8 will host at their stadium - HUGE advantage there. The rest are neutral site games

Who’s ready for a playoff game at Neyland Stadium?

That I don't like. No 'home field advantage' please.

VQ reporting that UGA made a run at Kelsey Pope for their receiver coach vacancy, but he's staying with the VOLS.

That’s impossible. Poster on here says we miss Burns.

Getting those 4 seeds to me are just as important as winning conference Championship.

Tennessee goes to SEC Title game and possibly loses, still should guarantee them a top 8 seed. which means a home game which would be epic.
Can you imagine how that stadium would be rocking playing as a 6 seed vs a Notre Dame as 11 seed .

I know someone who lives in Alabama. I heard the same thing. Saban wants the program to fail so he'll be missed. The way Saban lied to the players he recruited was prolly enough to cause chaos, without him trying to sabotage the coaches.

Wow, what an ambassador of the program!

 

[knoxvol52]

Shockingly no one has mentioned a ruling on court case yet. A verdict should be coming soon.

Unless I slept thru it.

The longer the wait, the better for us, IMO.

So Saban is a cartoon villain, huh... Man. I seriously wonder if you guys think like this in your daily lives or just in regards to UT football.

 

[jakez4ut]

Agree on both.

Said this two weeks ago!

Does it mean that maybe Adams got kicked out of the SEC? Why was he reffing a Big 12 game?

I don't know. That's the 1st time I've noticed him out of conference during the SEC season (I don't watch a lot of Big 12 games). I didn't think referees floated between conferences during the season.


*Maybe Vegas initiated it.

Maybe CRB got him shipped to the Big 12. Would be great if we never saw him again.

Referees can have contracts with multiple conferences during basketball season.

Deer lord my foot would be sore from kicking every single person on that list square in the nuts.

Edit: This is why I hate SM. Twatter pic didnt show Huepl on there.

That Kentucky windbag gets a nut shot too.

Could you imagine paying $9M per year for Mark Stoops? A win percentage of 53 as a head coach. 39% in conference. 2 winning seasons in conference in 11 seasons (both 5-3).

Maybe not terrible by Kentucky standards but for $9M that's just awful. Almost enough to make me feel bad for Kentucky fans.

 

[jakez4ut]

No issues with this format . Some may whine about a group of 5 participating, isn't any worse than a 9-3 Kansas Jayhawks making field as a 12 seed.

Can't make everybody happy though.

here's what last year's would have looked like, with some projected winners.....

A big oaf.

Which sophomore QB has breakout 2024 between Nico Iamaleava, Jackson Arnold, Avery Johnson

On3's Andy Staples and Jesse Simonton break down three sophomore quarterbacks to watch ahead of the 2024 season.

[engineerVOL]

So dumb to give each conference champ equal weighting.

They aren't the same top to bottom and strength of schedules inside conferences are drastically different.

Agree. Pick the best 12 at the end. These ongoing and living rankings are a trap.

 

[SoilVol]

Gonna be wild seeing Oregon State or Washington State in the playoff. Even if they're 5-7. The 2-PAC for the win!

If you host you love it and you hate it you are the visiting team.

Wow, Saban spoke at an event tonight, and it looks like he was really rubbing in the sarcasm. “I know you guys don’t miss me,” Saban said while shaking hands and readying for his first media appearance with local reporters.

Saban said he felt "anxious" about the success of the program. Now that is going to cause Bama fans to worry.

AL.com said it was previously confirmed that Saban will have an office in Bryant-Denny Stadium and Saban reiterated that "any UA coach has an open invitation to ask for his help." Doesn't sound like he has much confidence in DeBoer.

When asked about the job DeBoer had done in his early tenure, Saban wanted to be clear he wasn’t planning on hovering over the program he led for 17 years. “I really haven’t been around,” said Saban. “I really try to stay arm’s length."

Then his wife interrupted and said they needed to leave.

Maybe all these rumors about Saban undermining the new staff are true. Miss Terry steps in, calls time for retired husband’s interview

Caught a radio program this morning talking about this event, long story short Saban isn’t going anywhere. He absolutely wants to be involved on a National level. I’m thinking NIL, playoff chairman, maybe something with the B1G/SEC deal. He’s not ready to let go.

So to recap, we:

-Stole Bamas OLB/ST coach
-Pope told UGA no to stay here
-Mike Matthews turned down a big NIL offer from UGA and signed here
-Saban retired

It’s been a great offseason so far!

Kentucky kept Mark Stoops

and we are single handingly taking down the NCAA for the greater good.
