Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Glitch]

What debate?

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Reasons to ignore most press

At some point they should kick people off voting panel. If you are that stupid you should not get a vote.

Disclaimer: I realize that it's just summer league basketball and most of the guys playing are either 2nd or 3rd year guys trying to break out, recent draftees, G League players, end of bench depth or guys who probably never see much real game action.

That said.....Dalton really is looking like he is going to continue to elevate his game to the competition he plays and be a high level NBA player who is immediately in the rotation and probably starting eventually as a rookie. He stands out as one of the best and most consistent guys in every summer league game and against better competition than he typically played in college.

I hope he stays healthy because he is looking like he is probably going to have the best NBA career of any Vol in history if he stays healthy. I can't wait to watch him this season....first time that I will watch regular season NBA in two decades and nearly a decade for the playoffs.

Bernard King says Heeeeyyyy!

Ok, but the Titans had one of the best RB's in the past decade on their roster and did very little to put all the pieces around him to actually do anything with his talent. Other teams could tee off on him and he was still able to beast out. Give him a better OL and a QB with slightly more than a pulse and that offense could have feasted with DH in the backfield. Tell me I am wrong and explain how exactly.

The Titans remind me of Ogle's Water Park. The best show in town but never do what it takes to be among the best in the industry.

Where would the SEC be when compared to professional leagues?

You think Saban is more loyal to someone he mentored than the university that paid his bills for 15 years?

Saban is a Bama crony. Pretty sure he’s still on staff as an advisor/consultant. I wouldnt tell him squat.

I believe him capable of separating emotion from profession. It’s a job for these coaches. They don’t have the same feelings about this stuff as fans do. And he’s not being paid to tell his protégé’s secrets.

Bama needed Saban more than Saban needed Bama. He doesn’t owe them.

 

[DaddyChad]

I think he was just dumb. He wasn’t even pulling these blue chip recruits who were literally coming here just to get wined and dined for a weekend. It was a joke. Again we hired someone past their pay scale. He’s a great DC that needs to be monitored be a HC. Probably the reason him and Richt butted heads at Georgia

That and the fact he was a lunatic alcoholic at Georgia. I mean it’s hard to argue against his record as a DC but his defense kind of sucked here.

 

[Weezer]

Back when you lived in a forest was your name Adam and @Orangeredblooded
went by Eve?

Actually, based on your VN interactions....I'm going to guess @Orangeredblooded
was named Lillith.

I'm not THAT old. Who do you think I am? @BaldBiker ?

 

[Weezer]

Prayers sent.

I love that we can unleash a hailstorm worth of shittalking, sarcasm, FUs and Yeti jokes and still know we care about each other. All for one and one for Vol! Except @Weezer. He can take that smelly purple yeti hide elsewhere.

 

[Volunteer821]

@Enki_Amenra caught this little booger on a rooster tail, dem bass minnows I put in 2 months ago are a growin'.

 

[Weezer]

Can't lose to Missouri. Matter of fact I will guarantee that Tennessee doesn't lose to Missouri.

You shouldn't pick on people who are obviously high.

 

[Weezer]

My son has finally decided on a career path. He wants to be a roofer. I will fully support him. He is just beginning to learn the trade, but his boss says he is picking up everything really quickly. I mean, he's not the best roofer in the world yet, but he is up there.

People believing wine 2,000 years ago would be superior to today's wine must be drunk...on 2,000 year old wine.

 

[Weezer]

I think maybe they should add six more, but tennis far as I will go.

 

[Devo182]

Anyone know what the new theme song will be?

Word is they'll be using the national anthem as sung by Ingrid Andress.

 

[Orange.]

Surely that's not them? LUV airlines is saying that?

Fake but funny imo.

 

[Devo182]

It appears we may be quickly heading to a power 3.

The Big 12 is closer to a G5 at this point, compared to the other 2.

I think everyone knows damn well where this disaster train is headed and it will exclude half of the country or more. No pro sport would ever seriously consider such a ridiculous notion...for the good of the national sport at large.

But the 2 Napoleonic commishes don't give a damn about anyyhing about concentrating every last penny to the fewest schools and pushing their pay higher and higher. There is not a single person that has the good of the whole game at heart, just competing interests from multiple folks. No way to run a sport smdh

 

[Billy Antrim]

Good grief, Rory and Tiger

They both hit their iron shots quite high, which works great when there is no wind. Today the winds were so strong that their approach shots were blown way off course and into the rough or into pot bunkers. Really brutal conditions, especially today on the front nine.

From what I saw, the golfers that scored well were able to hit lower trajectory knockdown shots (under the wind) to the greens.

It just proves it was the Jimmy’s and Joe’s at Alabama.Even his secondaries sucked here and he’s supposed to be a guru.He was an Alabama school teacher that couldn’t complete one sentence .

Do you read the following words in a high pitch tone? "buttermilk biscuits"

Has your family tried them?

 

[Orange.]

What debate?

Exactly. UT = Tennessee. TU = Tulane. tu = Texas.

Am I the only one who thinks the schools need to wise up and fire Sankey? Big 10 has a bigger TV contract, and Big 12 is looking at adding ACC teams to get more money. What the hell is Sankey doing to increase our revenue? We have the best football but we aren't getting paid for it. Fire Skankey!!!

Yes for fire him, but for opposite reasons.

Fire both of them (big ten commish too) and set up a national commissioner that will get everyone paid and come up with a scale that does reward, but within reasonable boundaries.

Then split teams up by...gasp...region. Call them conferences...call them divisions...idgaf. Just want cfb to survive for all.

It's about to be 16-20 monster teams only playing each other. Say goodbye to a huge number of rivalries and national interest. And 30% of the teams will be tasked with traveling an absurd amount. Then watch how quickly the rest die off, then it will trickle down as the G5s and FCS are no longer getting big tv games. Just a terrible direction.

You are wrong. 2019 (second year as starter) top 10 offense, 2020 (third year as starter) top 5 offense, 2021 (fourth year as starter) top 15 offense. All with Ryan Tannehill as his QB and AJB on the team

And before you say anything about Tannehill, he was a top 5 qb statistically when he took the starter job from Mariota through 2021

2021 he broke his foot as well or it would’ve been a top 5-10 offense again

The GM made fatal mistakes after and got fired. The HC wouldnt change tendencies and got fired
