Recruiting Football Talk VII

yikes….

Still up awaiting the discharge of our dog, Q. Wife and he got attacked during their walk while I was at work and he got three nasty lacerations. Going to be a fun conversation with the other dog’s owners tomorrow. Misspelled NEGOTIATION!

So sorry. Prayers for a quick healing.

BTW Washington State defeated Arizona last night 77-74 at Arizona.

When Tennessee wins Saturday maybe move up to #4 in rankings and retake 4th #1 overall seed in NCAA tournament.

That does not matter to me, I would actually rather see us as a 2 or 3 because it would put a chip on the teams shoulder instead of tbem being tight trying to live up to the pressure of the expectations of a #1 seed.


Brace yourself, we are...probably...going to lose a couple, or more, of these tough games down the stretch...and that is ok.

It does not matter where you start The Dance...it only matters where you finish.

But...IF...we win out, we are going to get a #1....I just don't expect it to happen though.

1 game

Not enough!

Wth

What? Not mixed together.

 

[Glitch]

Agree. At this point, I am starting to believe they want to be put out of business.

AA be like...

 

[orange parmejohn]

Random thought. Tennessee’s training gear has been way cooler looking since they went to Nike.

You know it's rotten when @Grandpa4 is using exclamation points!!!!

Glad I am not the only one that thinks this is a childish prank.

If you attempt something that will knowingly cause harm to someone, it is definitely a crime, no childish prank about it. This is the act of a budding sociopath.

I think so, I've had this feeling since the beginning of our case. They are doing some really stupid stuff. Maybe the people leading the NCAA have a backdoor deal to be named part of the leadership of the new governing body. It's the only thing that can explain their stupidity and incompetence.

No way a group of highly educated, powerful professionals can make so many stupid decisions so frequently without there being some dark motive behind it. God help college athletics if the people in charge are really as stupid as they appear to be.

LSU was fined $100,000 for storming court after victory vs Kentucky..

Stupid rule. Get rid of Sankey and this rule with him.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

What happens if an OOC team visits Neyland and we rush the field. Would we still pay a fine? I suppose it would go to the SEC, if so. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to fine us if that happened.

Why storm the court for UK doh? Lol

 

[therickbol]

Is there some sort of buyout language in the NCAA contract that we do not know about. It is like they are a highly paid NCAA football coach that is losing games on purpose so they can be fired and paid a buyout. That is the level of stupidity being displayed by people in the NCAA that have jobs that one would assume you can't have if you are stupid. So the hubris is that strong that it completely removes their ability to reason and logic.......or they are doing it on purpose.

I agree, though Tennessee has never been a #1 seed in men's NCAA tournament before. Just would be nice to see it happen while I'm still kicking.

I know, act like you've been there before.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Not really. I think it’s just a formality. Commissioners don’t think in terms of celebrations and memories. They think in terms of injury liabilities and lawsuits. Just my guess.

Elsewhere in SEC

He may be a Gator, but this is a good-hearted young man. He earned money based on his God-given abilities, paid it back to someone he loves dearly, and made a better life for his family.

Bravo.

Also, NCAA, I have a magic trick for you...

 

[rikberry31]

should be more than one game but that is two different entities doing the suspending…. SEC/NCAA

True, but it's the same as the Soviet Union and Cuba being different entities.

 

[drvenner]

Proud Dad moment. My kid just earned his Eagle.

That is extremely awesome!! That is a challenging accomplishment. Congratulations!!

Cause they're barely .500 and beat a ranked team on an improbable last-second shot. I get it and applaud it. Let the kids have fun and storm the court with the players.

The kids yes most definitely, though when I see grown ups probably in late 40's or 50's storming the court or field I just shake my head and laugh.
