Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jackcrevol]

I think you guys are making way way more of this than it is. She is going to rehab because her PR manager is making her. The same as the boxing guy who is going to anger management after being caught using racist language. It's for PR and nothing else. That's what literally every celebrity does when they get caught being a bad human or making bad choices, they go to rehab as an attempt to dodge the social consequences of their bad decisions.

She's a mediocre musical talent who's used social media and flaunting her admittedly nice bod to make a name for herself in an industry where talent isn't all that important. I don't care if she could sing in an a capella group, she's not that great of a singer. The people around her aren't to blame. She is. She's not a victim, she's a social media starlet who's developed bad habits that caused her to embarrass herself. Her bad choices and lifestyle caught up to her. This isn't the first time she's done this, it's the first time it's had consequences she couldn't avoid.

Why would I know about any of that? I'm 46, married, with 3 kids. All I heard from sound of a cat being slammed against the ground, repeatedly.

Hope she gets the help she needs. Music isnt her thing. I could literally drink a 6 pack, forget half the words to SSB and destroy that rendition of our National Anthem. And i'm awful.

It should say I'm probably being stupid.

Because he don’t know how blue font works if he is being sarcastic?

 

[BigOrange15]

Man, some of y'all are ass at detecting sarcasm lol

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

If you’re McAllan Castles, do you go to training camp with Philadelphia or sign with the Memphis Showboats?

Any of our other Vols get selected? The UFL website is booty cheeks.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Lol

 

[knoxvol52]

What did the crab say to the lobster? You're on a roll now.

More to come for only $29.95.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Dang

now that's a big pile of crappie!

 

[jpope9]

Lol

lol butt hurt bama players. He's an analyst now, he's not supposed be biased to one team.

 

[Orange.]

Lol

1. I love the bammer laughing at Sabey.

2. As for the prediction, I'm not endorsing it, but from the first minute it was announced that seemed to be the reason Birmingham wants those two to meet the first week of SEC play. The playoff criteria change every year on a different basis as bias. But there is always media hoopla such that "that loss is not a loss-loss" and "those wins are not really win-wins." So let's have "but that was the first week."

Don't worry. He's still biased and will use his platform for biased purposes so long as he has it. He thinks that is rat poison to the rivals and motivation to his boys.

No, Castles was the only one.

Our rb room isn’t exactly proven but i was glad to see Sampson add 10 pounds in the off season. If Seldon is completely healthy by Kent State September 14, sure would make me feel better about Oklahoma the following week.

#6 Sampson 5’11 201 JR
#23 Cam Seldon 6’2 222 SO
#20 Khalifa Keith 6’1 239 SO
#22 Peyton Lewis 6’1 210 FR
#25 DeSean Bishop 5’10 200 r-Fr
#28 Patrick Wilk 5’11 203 r-Jr
#24 Hunter Barnes 6’0 196 r-So

Great blend of running styles, and difereent size guys with even the larger backs like Keith having good speed and Seldon having great speed, hope he is healthy ASAP and stays that way. Hard to prepare for Sampson, Seldon, Keith and Bishop as all are different. Throw P. Lewis' homerun speed in the mix and that is a lethal, if young, stable of backs..... especially when Nico is nearly as gifted a runner as many of them.

I predict Nico to have:

- 650+ rushing yards on the year
- 5+ rushing TDs
- 200 to 250+ pass. yds per game
- 2+ Passing TDs per game

I put a + beside all numbers listed as they are right around what I think he will put up in the regular season but I have a feeling these could be on the conservative numbers if he is as good as a I, and others, think/hope he is. Our offense and Nico's abilities are made for each other and Heupel seems giddy about it. Nico also looked very good in the bowl game so I see why Heupel is excited.

Very possible that Nico crushes one, a couple or all of these stats but I think that they would put him in the Heisman talk as long as our running game keeps to previous year's form, defense continues it's level of improvement and we are winning games.

That would definitely be the viewer friendly matchup. I just don't think Texas is ready to play 8+ competent teams in one season. There's a mentality change that will have to happen as they adjust to playing someone 8+ times a year who could possibly beat them instead of 3 or 4. They're going to have their usual sleepwalking games that used to be automatic wins but will be losses in the SEC.

I do think Texas will be a power in the SEC eventually, but this year they'll take 2 or 3 losses.

The face of someone who will at some point in future, get their ass beat.

"rammer jammer."

 

[yourstruly23]

Any of y'all get tickets to the Morgan Wallen concert at Neyland? Was the ticket purchasing process ridiculous or pretty easy?

I got mine and was about 7000th in line starting out.. Went back to try and get two more and 130,000+ were in the queue... I guess that's why they added the second date

Inside joke. @VolsDoc81TX secretly loves philosophy.

Wow.

I like Sampson at 200..guy is elusive, fast with power..pushs the pile when needed. We will see how he picks up blocking.
I tell you what, Wright was a great SEC back..power and speed and I am amazed at how he developed.

Wright really developed when he stopped being stubborn about putting on weight and bulked up, eventually getting up to 220. He admitted that he was scared he would lose speed in his freshman and sophomore seasons and didn't want to add much weight. Immediately became elite when an arm tackle to his shin wouldn't take him down.

If any speed was lost then it was negligible and was far outweighed by his ability to run tougher, fumble less and break tackles, not to mention being more durable to taking hits. I think it also helped with his mindset on waiting for blocks to develop. That was a major difference in his final season at UT and will significantly help as a pro.....much more than a small amount of speed. He will still be one of the fastest guys on the field every time he plays in the NFL.

You all were so privileged, I only had a baseball bat and rock to play with when I was a kid.

Ha, you had a bat. We had treesand rocks.

My dad was bragging about his new hearing aid. "State of the Art," he said,
"It cost me a fortune."

I asked: "Awesome what type is it?"

He said: "Two thirty."

 

[Weezer]

I met a guy who was bragging about this special golf ball he had. Claimed it is impossible to lose. I asked where he got it, and he said he found it in the woods.
