Recruiting Football Talk VII

[SoilVol]

That is indeed what happened. And Danny White didn’t fight it and gave up his previous edict of wearing orange and white in title games. His prerogative. He’s a great AD. we won. Yeah! I’ve just pointed out that wearing Orange in ”big” games is no longer a given in any sport.

Where did Danny White say this?

We didn't play in black because they liked it better. We played in black because you don't mess with a streak in baseball.

Stop being intentionally disingenuous and arguing in bad faith.

You’re wrong.
yes, superstition was involved.
but they also prefer the black to the orange.
i guarantee you that and I’d bet any amount of money I’d win a poll of the players response. In football, also.

What is usually the cut off draft pick as far as coming back to college or not? Am I wrong that if you get drafted in the first 10 rounds it’s better just to go pro?

Depends. It’s all slotted now so a guy projected to go, for example, in the 2nd could go in the 1st and the team can sign him under the slotted value to be able to pay over the slotted value for a pick later in the draft. So it’s really just about money and not even so much draft position.

Where did Danny White say this?

When he first got the job early on in his career and was talking about uniforms and alternates and the move from adidas to nike.

Well, go do a poll and come back to us.

 

[vol_in_ga]

Not true.
there is no problem. Just stating what’s happening.
we are fast replacing orange with black as our primary color in recruiting photos, congratulatory photos, player preference, and now, in a national title game. Those are facts.

Whoever hurt you, it’s not your fault.

My brother in Christ we moved to Nike in 2015...

 

[Vfl2407]

Since we were the home team, we technically would have worn white.

No, we had the choice. We could wear any color we wanted,
baseball is different than football and basketball where white is decided beforehand.

 

[Glitch]

Screw you.
sorry: I sank to your level. Have a nice day.

Maybe message boards aren't your game.

 

[85SugarVol]

Apparently there’s smoke to the rumors of Texas am going to the big 10.

Good. Tell Missouri they’re going with em.

Then make the offer to the 2 free agent schools that are perfect fits for the SEC from a TV Market, Cultural, & Geographical perspective -

UNC & UVA

 

[ChattVolFan64]

And he’s wearing black, not orange. I rest my case.

Actually what he is wearing is Pantone 151 Orange. Tennessee Orange....accentuated by black which the new generation is more attracted to. The "PRIMARY"
color is "ORANGE"

 

[Vfl2407]

My brother in Christ we moved to Nike in 2015...

He was just talking about the move when talking about different palates that different companies provide.

Danny wasn't here for that move...

Where is the article and video that you are referring to?

 

[Vfl2407]

You haven't answered my questions from earlier. Can you source this edict?

Sorry. I just remember discussing it with other Vols when White said it when he was hired.

Oh, I'm wrong?

[Vfl2407]

I understand that. He talked all colors and companies that UT had and would wear.

I remember seeing somewhere, not sure where that the black jersey were the lightest and most breathable jersey. Not sure if that's true but if it was that could be a reason they went with that combo.

Sorry I didn’t tape the conversation.

I think the SEC office probably loves this A&M boondoggle Sausageagle mess. They want the drama, the storylines, the rivalries more bitter. Better for clicks and for ratings which equals more money.

LaVioltte deleted his tweet saying how great A&M is

What color did baseball wear in Game 1? Supers final? Regionals final? Game to win SEC reg season title?

What colors did basketball wear in Sweet 16? Elite 8? Game to win SEC Championship?

What colors did football wear in Citrus Bowl?

I'll save you the time: Orange and White. Every single one of those games. Not a single one was black.

So again, Straw Man and Slippery Slope. You're literally making up a problem that doesn't exist, then saying that problem that doesn't exist is going to get worse. Bad faith argument. If you're not trolling then you need to be studied.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

He is not even man enough to stand by his word. Loser.

DON'T TRUST BAMARS

That's not a source. I want the words verbatim and in context.
