Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Just saw an idiot in the FF say that anything less than 11-1 is a huge disappointment. . .

It's amazing these people can get driver's licenses and vote.

Special needs people if any of you’ve been in the FF, you know what I mean.

Anything less than 12-0 will be a disappointment. Maybe not when I look back after the season, but in the moment… yeah… I’m going to be disappointed with any loss. We could be playing the 1985 Bears with Joe Montana at QB on Saturday and I would legit expect us to win the game when the ball was kicked off.

those guys would not be able to hang with us. They are so old.

The lucky ones are so old…

My score prediction:

38-17 Vols

But close early, and either tied or OU ahead at the half

All Vols in the second half

I hope this is what happens...if we can wear on them in the 1st, then it becomes more and more likely, they are not deep.

Never knew that so many were envious of guys with big trucks.

I drive a 250 because I use it like a truck, I need it. If I didn't need it for towing I wouldn't have one. I think alot of it comes from people who own one just because its a big truck and don't even need it for what it is. We've all seen and know who those people are. Nothing wrong with that, their choice, but it causes some people to feel that way. My buddy drives a dump truck and gets brake checked constantly and gets all kind of road rage toward him. Its ridiculous, he never drives Miss Daisy, I've rode with him several times and he flys in that thing.

1st half total pts o/u for UT is 16.5.

Do you think we score 17 in the 1st half?

@Jackcrevol

Think we score 24 in the 1st half. 17 feels safe to me

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I really feel this is going to be a 24-17 type of game....and it's going to wrack my nerves.

I don't think I am gonna bet this game. We haven't seen the Vols against really good competition.

This feels a lot like a rivalry game and I try to avoid those most of the time. . . I'll probably find something I like by kick-off though. . . I just like the easy money bets and I don't see one for this game yet.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Not sure Arnold makes it through the entire game with our front 7 against their OL. He will get hit early and often. I don't think they have enough talent to match up.....we are huge, fast and nasty while being extremely deep. It's truly rare to have so many elite DL options with elite LBers behind them.

UGA and Bama are only programs equipped with enough talent to deal with us in conference, maybe Ole Miss. Maybe OSU out of conference but that's it. We are deep and talented at the right positions to beat anyone and have been managing the roster well and staying fresh.

It could turn into a complete rout if our defense destroys them like that, and so then our offense can wear that good but thin defense completely out late in the 2nd quarter...we have seen that happen.

Barnett!

And I am here for it.

There will be a dark knight in Norman....
VOLS BY FIDDY

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Never bet the VOLS, but there is still a good bit to be seen. That being said, I think we roll comfortably this weekend. Nico is going to show that he plays up to competition and flourishes when the moment is big. I'm already amped lol

 

[Orangeredblooded]

You need to quit drinking on Sundays it seems.

Considering I spend most of the day working, cooking and then seeing my grandchildren, then you’re probably right. I’ll defer to you.

 

[benholt06]

@benholt06

He’s done great, I’m happy for the kid.

He really looked great in garbage time vs 3 opponents we absolutely decimated.

Y’all only do reactionary, don’t you? Hey, if it made the HS ref feel like a pro scout for a second, that’s great man.

 

[Glitch]

Gonna be a long week to wait..

 

[InVOLuntary]

Texas is getting a lot of love, mainly because of beating Michigan. Michigan = NCST IMO.

The real question is why on earth would you even venture over there to begin with?? You need to clean up before coming back inside the house.

I like what he said about road games too. Hopefully it shows and we stomp them all game long.

Hey a little hooch to ward off evil spirits is a good thing.

(I'm trying to figure out what you found offensive in his post )

 

[TheBigOne10]

Think about how vanilla we’ve been able to be on Defense to this point. If need be (questionable considering we should eat only rushing 4) Banks can unleash a hella amount of pressure this week and test Arnold. I kind of like the idea of rushing 4 with a spy to account for his legs, or just rush your 4 and maintain gap integrity and set the edge is even better.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

To be honest..... I never was much of a Titans fan. I tried to love them because they were the "state team" but they just don't take enough VFLs. I've loved all of Boston's teams since middle school and I became a Packers' fan when they got Reggie White.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

We now have a 45% chance to beat uga @ uga

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Oh well..I guess you can go over there if it’s really necessary!

Maybe I've missed them but I've not seen one defensive line stunt. I think that's why JP hasn't gotten his sacks yet. I bet that changes this weekend.
