Recruiting Football Talk VII

[volinbama256]

Everyone knows what we need to do/what needs to happen for us to get the W, it's just all a matter of whether this team can execute. We have the talent, but can this staff put them in the right positions for success and make the adjustments necessary to adapt to the game... Last season we didn't need to make many in-game adjustments and I haven't seen many so far this season, so the remainder of the season will be telling now that we know what we have with Joe and this Oline. Coaches gonna have to COACH.

So are we checkering Neyland as wellv

 

[volbeast33]

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?

i didn’t see a single scalper at the Austin Peay game….. Are they going away due to mobile tickets?

Vegas knows something. I don't know what, but they know something. I thought the spread would be bought down to 9.5 by now, it's going the opposite direction. . . apparently a lot of people know something I have no clue about.

Vegas is rarely wrong though. Even if we don't cover a 12.5pt spread, the chances we don't cover 6.5 is crazy when even money is at 12.5. Point is, it is highly, highly likely we win by 6 or more.

Reminds me of the line in our game against Georgia last year. I think it was 9.5 and I thought it would’ve been easy money for us to cover that. They knew.

I suspect the long term fans may hate it even more. Florida is the game I most want to win each year and to come out in the second quarter and lay an egg like that puts a damper on the season for me. Is it hard to get up for Florida?

I think for most long term fans, it's Bama. The Florida hate is to some extent an artifact of the SEC divisions and Birmingham's intention to keep Bama from having to play Florida regular season. Although really long termers may still be pissed about the Dickey BS.

Anyway, just let it go at this point, my friend, until we next play them. Hop on Doc's 14-1 express!

I wouldn't bet your money on this fishy spread.

If you're in your nineties you really hate Vandy.

I don’t bet, but if I did I would only bet Tennessee games against Florida and Kentucky. We have enough of a sample size over the years to know how those games go.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

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.

It would have to be Leggett or Rattler to have that kind of effect.

Someone educate me because I don’t follow the nfl very closely. How did Dobbs get to start in Arizona and is there a chance he can get an extended run at the position?

Murray tore his ACL last year, so he's starting until he's back.

I dont think so in AZ, Kyle got one of those big contracts that you don't sit on the bench.

Rumor has it Arizona willing to trade Murray his future isn't in Arizona under the new HC...

Gosh I hope not. It could just be phoning a buddy along with reduction in seating capacity, along with tickets to include party deck passes/skybox/premium seating.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

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.

6.5 doesn't get them any action, this double digit spread a ton of people will be on SCAR. I'm interested in if it comes down throughout the week, if not Vegas wants people on that double digit spread.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

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?

People were wanting 100 a piece for AP and UTSA, you aren't getting an SEC game for thar price except maybe Vandy.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Man, just got finished watch UW highlights. Can't beley we let Penix get away. Dude is averaging 400yds/game.

 

[mrmax86]

Black and orange checkered stadium would be cool.

I think they are the best team in college football right now

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

This. And that means our DTs need to get to him.

 

[ndubvols]

Not saying our secondary is great, but think a lot of people are forgetting how injured we were there last year. Combine that with all the banks stuff that was going on and it was pretty ugly.
I think we see a much better performance this weekend.

I think so too. I see -6.5. Adding in 3pts for home field could maybe stretch it to -9.5. I don't know where they're getting the other -3pts at. . .

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

Would have been real bad if the DE hadn't given up his containment assignment.

Giving -3 for the nighttime ambiance....

2018 class. I went back and read a bunch of that thread the other night. Hiding out from a hailstorm of upset here.
