Recruiting Football Talk VII

[KptVFL]

Ima liking this kid!

 

[Orange.]

I heard from my inside contact this morning and he gave me 3 big updates:

1) Apparently Drinkowitz was at the game last night holding up a sign about our alleged violations. What a ****.

2) Drink and Zakai exchanged words. Drink started it, but Zakai apparently got the last laugh, calling him a 4-chin fat ***.

3) Saban has been meddling bigly in Tuscaloosa and everyone in the building is tense, as Saban apparently spends 12+ hours a day in his office while non-stop calls come in from Miss Terry asking him to come home and finish his ice cream.


This guy is dead-on. Best news reporter in South Knoxville iyam

That Drinkwitz was yelling at the Tennessee bench is true. Mizzou announcer on the network was actually bragging on air about Drinkwitz being that low class.

Another dinger dead center
16-0 | B6

Word is, he spoke unfavorably about Saban's meddling in the new coaching staff during a speech at a boosters luncheon.

You will wear her down and she will accept her name sooner or later.

Sally is a female…Enki stands no chance wearing her down. In fact Enki will probably be medically institutionalized or neutered.

 

[SpringBokVol]

was that a no hitter?

 

[headhunter15]

Say this comes true. Does Tennessee make it to the playoffs with that record?

 

[Weezer]

Vols win 16-0 in a run rule game!

 

[DarthVol1]

Welp, the guys decided to open a can on our brave Buccos of ETSU as Clean Living Prevails! GBO! May they have mercy on whatever an Albany is....

Who said we would struggle with ETSU? Think we had it backwards…struggled with UNCA and demolished ETSU.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Too much. Even 8 would be adequate.

No, we need some more teams besides their favorites they will insist on every year.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Hard to tell. Losing to a 2-10 Florida team would definitely hurt the resume I'd think.

 

[engineerVOL]

was that a no hitter?

The box score said that but announcers said “1-hit the Bucs”

I can't remember which of you morans made it, but this has become my victory pic.

I’m guessing the guys were tired yesterday from their trip. A friend thought they bussed back. That means, game over before midnight Sunday and bus back 13 hours? I figured they flew.

Why not just go ahead and do 16?

Anyways, another cool idea would be to give a couple of spots to winners of the bowls leading up to the playoff. Basically a few play-in style bowl games

I can't remember who suggested it, but someone here suggested having the bowls as normal and then seeding, say, an 8-team playoff. I love that idea so much more than what we're getting.

It would keep players playing, hopefully. But at what point for would-be first rounders is this too much football when the draft is a few months away and they opt out anyway.

Used to be, anything West of the Mississippi you flew. Maybe that's changed?

I personally felt and continue to believe that it should be 8 teams and no one gets a bye. There's no bye in March Madness and imo there should be no bye.

 

[PKT_VOL]

was that a no hitter?

No. Backus dove a missed on a shallow pop fly in CF.

Very close to one. Our young pitchers were dealing and we played great defense behind them.

 

[KB5252]

I see that sources continue to indicate that Saban’s meddling is causing real problems with Alabama’s new staff. Apparently the long-time announcer was fired after he was caught in the middle in an argument between Saban and Deboer during a staff meeting and took Saban’s side. Things are getting really heated in Tuscaloosa!

You taking about Eli Gold?

 

[jakez4ut]

Florida looking good early!..

 

[DD4ME]

I missed it due to conflicts, but it sounds like today's game was the opposite of yesterday's.

 

[DD4ME]

Hate that but funny exchange.
