Recruiting Football Talk VII

[KB5252]

Saw something on social media about Tennessee going to hand signs after the 5th because they lost pitch com, when asked A&M claimed they didn't have it. Distantly there might be a pic of that pitch com with an A&M player.

I'm typically skeptical of stuff like that..... Asking if anyone else has heard something similar?

The "heart sign" bugs the crap out me..................

My daughter does it. . . Melts my heart!

My daughter does it. . . Melts my heart!

Daughter to a parent.............that's absolutely ok

I think Vitello started at $600k/yr. He got raised to $1.5m. He'll get another raise that I bet puts him near $4m with bonuses. . .

He just got a huge bonus for winning the natty, 40% of his base salary I think.

Coffee’s extra strong today.

Sure is good being the champ

There may have been just a splash of bourbon in my coffee this morning.

No, not really.

No, not really.

I was trying to be nice............

I don't hate Kessling, he's a little vanilla for me. But he's solid. Problem is he'll never live up to the legend that came before him....... Not many out there capable.

I've backed off on my dislike of Bob some over the years. He's just a television guy doing radio play by play. He just needs the Bert Bertlekamp equivalent for football. They keep pairing Bob with boring color guys and Bob just doesn't generate his own excitement. That's why his football calls are bland but his basketball calls are pretty good. Bert helps him so much. He needs someone with intensity in the booth for football. Or just retire and make sure the next Voice of the Vols "makes his own juice".

The minor league seasons are shorter than MLB. Most should be done by the end of September.

The minor league season should be over by the Florida game.

Very good article he wrote giving his legitimate reason and then owning it when called out
Tons of sports writers need to see this and be like this guy

Have to say-every single a and m person couldn’t have been nicer.

That's how it begins

And he is worth every penny.

Doc is all the way back at last Wednesday. He’s got one heckuva a roller coaster ride coming his way.

Tony is going to win another one before he catches up.

What a great day to chill on my boat in the Gulf of Mexico with a drink in hand and my Tennessee flying high!!! Just feels right!

I don't listen to games on radio anymore, although I thought Pat Ryan was Kesling's commentary partner.

 

[Devo182]

Yep...just finished watching the game again...lol....I gotta be up in 3 hours to go drive all day..lol..

Well done making it till 3 ya old fogey

I've never really had a great dislike for Kesling. That being said I didn't grow up with John Ward. Really the only thing I've not liked of Kesling is the Alabama game when we kicked the winning kick. I feel like he left so much at the table. He hardly sounded excited.
