Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Volator]

K. Y’all have a good one.

Smyrna is done.

@Freak please delete this account.

Thanks!

Once again. Just like football season.

Alligator mouth bites hummingbird butt.
Same story different sport.

I feel for Santi...he completely lost his shooting ability when he and the team needed it the most...I can't remember ever seeing a guy go from being a really good shooter to a absolute brick mason in one year like he did.

It had to be in his head...like the yips in golf.

I honestly think there is a hidden injury or something else physical with him.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Z not good enough , JJJ disappearing, getting nothing from our interior. But it’s been like this all year when we lose.

We’re just not consistently good enough offensively to be a FF/NC team.

And...yet...we were a crooked ref crew away from the F4.

We could have taken NC State or Duke...but I don't think we had a good chance of beating UConn. They are a steamroller...unlike this fraud garbage Purdue squad...they are a truly great basketball team. We would have had to play a almost perfect game to beat them.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Anyone have it recorded and care to count how many times a 3 second should have been called?

Every single time.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Find the evidence of collusion and add it to the lawsuit

Sounds like a job for Sally

 

[itsme]

I have NEVER seen it happen to a young person before...mostly to shooters in their late 30s from wear and tear.

It happened with Lofton and a lot of people were complaining. Then after the season we found out he had cancer after the season. That’s why it’s hard for me to complain about a guy that loses it for a season.

37hrs between the last game and tip-off today. . .

I don't know if it mattered much...but this was the first time I remember seeing them look gassed other than after that 18 point run against Chreighton...they seemed really tired then too.

At this point sometimes anything can make a difference.

I have. Every time they had the ball.

Should be eye opening

Yep...I have grown an intense hatred for them thanks the their puppets screwing us over twice the year and twice now in the Dance.

I hope whoever plays them not only whips them...but completely embarrasses them.

This would be the only time I would ever pull for Bama to win anything.

Between the music city bowl and the last three meetings against them in bball, the refs have played a significant part in all four. It’s beyond old.

Yeah, they had to be literally exhausted from the turnaround alone.

Plus, if you remember, we've had problems with early games this year, at least recently. I hoped we'd play after 6pm the rest of the way. Still can't believe they jammed us in at 2pm after making us play til 1am.

Yes...it's rare I truly hate a team from another conference the way I hate SEC teams...but Purdue is now top 4 with a bullet. I hope they rot when their big stupid mongo turd leaves.

Tough to watch and I feel for him. If I remember correctly, Dane Bradshaw also had a difficult final year shooting.

Sometimes the story book doesn’t end the way we want. Very proud of the guys. Better days are ahead!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We fire the old man yet?

I think it's time

I don't remember ever seeing ZZ look so...just not ZZ...you know what I mean?...how quick and strong he literally ALWAYS looks even when he is not shooting well.

He looked slower on both ends today.

 

[VolXr1]

Not only does it suck getting screwed by refs & knowing we are the better team than Purdue esp with equal refs.. but to make matters worse. We would have cleaned the floor with either NC State or Duke. Today was truly for a spot in the NC game. 95% chance UConn would have won but getting there would have been everything. Would have shut the Barnes haters up and the KY fans with their lame ass "No FiNaL fOuRs" comments

I honestly don't remember...I mostly checked out during the WH years.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Refs trying to save Duke...the refs in that game are crooked too.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We’ll still have a good team next year. Aidoo has to put on some weight and be more physical tho

Eh, next year's team will have a major scoring problem.

We will be somewhere between 4-7 in conference and probably a 5 or lower seed. It's time.

 

[LittleVol]

He was behind a veteran QB at Penn State that is in the NFL. Levis was pretty good for the Titans with a bad supporting cast and terrible OL, and they've helped both of those groups dramatically while adding an offensive-minded head coach, an actual strength staff, and a lot of people with knowledge of coaching QBs. I think he will be alright

The guy is not a winner.

If you mean career journeymen as being "alright" then we agree.

Otherwise, this dude will never win no matter what you put around him

 

[Glitch]

I hate sports. They bring nothing but pain and sadness

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I don't remember ever seeing ZZ look so...just not ZZ...you know what I mean?...how quick and strong he literally ALWAYS looks even when he is not shooting well.

He looked slower on both ends today.

He looked like he just ran up about 2,000 flights of stairs. . . probably felt like it too. He didn't have a break in the S16 game.

 

[LoudOrange]

We have got to find more than one deadly scorer..if RB can somehow do that and still put his usual elite defense out there...I believe it will happen.

Big huge IF though...Knecht is an anomaly...an elite talented scorer that WANTED to work and learn defense.

But with Knecht having the success he had here will make Tennessee more attractive to a scorer. At least I hope so.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Sticking us in the midnight window and then the early game Sunday didn’t help.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Barnes has to recruit scorers and not defenses. Our assistant found a Knecht and it carried Barnes this year. Can’t win it playing defense only. Ready for a change and I don’t care if that upsets anyone. Bring back English.
