Recruiting Football Talk VII

LSU wears white at home always have.

I thought those white helmets LSU wore when we drubbed them last year with white pants really sucked. Between those and our grays, for me, who was playing whom didn't immediately "read" when one saw the broadcast.

LSU's traditional "away" look at home with the gold helmets and pants is an SEC classic imo. I'd much prefer they'd worn them. Just would look more like we're stomping LSU every re-watch! Even better if we'd been in our classic orange. But a road game at LSU meant we could wear the grays and the blacks the same year, I guess.

I much prefer the blacks to the grays, but I know the smokies have advocates and unlike @85SugarVol I've reconciled myself to them, in deference to fans like @SweetasSoda who love them. At least the grays can bring back memories of great wins over Georgia and Florida. And now LSU.

The orange helmets I do not like. The only thing I can say in their favor is that if I ever accidentally see a clip from that game, it looks at first to me as if that is some other team and not us.

i need ticket help. Due to my schedule this weekend is the only week I can take my family to a game.

I need five ticket, and only have about $500 to spend.

Any help out there?

dang man. I feel for you, pun aside. A family man wanting to take his fam to game is admirable. Perhaps this isnt the best game, esp to wait to get tickets? May want to up the ante for tix though. Ive tried to play the Dad card before. Hope you have better luck than I.

may try scalping?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Vegas is trolling us for some reason. Trying to get us overconfident.

In all seriousness it is strange. There must be some undisclosed injury or suspension they know about already. USCe boards will probably figure it out in the next day or so and post it.

Maybe Rattler got dinged up?

 

[Jack Burton]

Maybe Rattler got dinged up?

Could be. Certainly makes you consider it as a possibility. Something that big would be hard to hide for long.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yay/Nay?

I dont believe that, in any way shape or form. Just by sheer numbers, even the Bg10 schools at some point were that loud. Oregon's stadium, a duck flight from Washington, would get louder.

Also, before we took seats out. I gauran effing tee Neyland was louder or as loud. Swamp, Death Valley, Tamu stadium, Sanford, and even the words largest family breeding gathering could be that loud.

No way that is true.

You’re probably not going to find any tickets for $100 a piece for this game.. they’re running about $220 a piece after fees. Good luck though. Maybe take yourself and one other?

Washington’s stadium has a very unique design structure. Metal overhangs trap in the noise. A few years ago under Chris Petersen they almost passed the 133 decibel mark. Can’t remember what game but want to say it was sometime around 2016? Maybe 2018

Seriously, scalpers may take something else in lieu of tickets.

Switchblade...Sword...some other thing of value, brass knuckles?

Yeah…WHITE is traditionally a ROAD JERSEY. They actually had to receive a waiver.

 

[85SugarVol]

We know. We get it. That knowledge doesn't improve our life. We can move on now?

Fine.

But

 

[Orange.]

Maybe Rattler got dinged up?

I doubt it, but it's not impossible.

I think they expect us to put a complete game together.

What seems to be overlooked is that perhaps Joe's knee is such that him running is back off the table. I certainly hope not. I'd love to see Joe have a fabulous game and Nico get to play in the fourth quarter for experience.

Sept. 26, 1981

The Astros' Nolan Ryan, aided by Terry Puhl's one-handed, running catch of a Mike Scioscia liner in the seventh inning, no-hit the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-0, on national TV Saturday.

The 34-year-old righthander became the first pitcher to throw five career no-hitters. It had been six years since Ryan's last no-hitter, the last of four he pitched for the California Angels.

I was walking in the forest recently. There seemed to be a very large amount of toadstools nearby. I decided not to fool with them and give them a wide berth. Everyone knows you need to give them as mushroom as possible.

Why did everybody like the mushroom? Because he was a real fungi.

We don’t need 300 in the air to win this one. Need 300 on the ground and keep Rattler on the sideline would be my key to the game.

Why not both

Just throwing this out there!…there’s absolutely NO WAY! This BS record still stands when the football cleared the crossbar against bama Or against Florida to end the streak,just to name a few absolutely no chance.. but of course this is probably a ESPN article.

 

[JacketVol]

Coach Garner needs to lay the sermon down on his DL. They singlehandedly will dictate our ability to contain Rattler. They are a huge, huge piece to how this game will go.

We’ve got to contain on the edge. Pressure but not everyone crashing to the middle or he will kill us.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I got to go there on my second deployment in 04. And Babylon too!

@BaldBiker said that too, back in 4 BC

 

[Vols410]

Watching the replay now. Sampson is fantastic with the ball in his hands, but this definitely needs work. He got burned pretty bad here.

And that’s not an SEC pass rush

Something odd going on. I'm not saying we win by 6+ or even win it all. I just mean that based on Vegas odds, they're usually within 1-4pts of the outcome. I don't know what they see. If I were to cap this game, I'd have UT -6.5.

When Wilhoit hit it true. With 110,000 fans. That is THE loudest i've ever heard neyland.
