Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[rikberry31]

State is now outside of the top 40 (zero total AP votes) and in the 70s in the FPI.

The way've struggled vs bad opponents has me thinking they maybe just aren't very good at all, at least rn.

That said, don't think OU is very good either (yes I'm skipping past Michigan, don't care about em). Only 4.8 YPP offensively lmao. And yes our defense is also giving up more than a yard per play less than theirs. If we can handle the night road environment, they might walk off with their tails between their legs by mid third quarter and asking about shortening the clock.

This time of year can be very deceiving if you put too much stock in score, stats and rankings, I trust my eyes more. Most teams would be hard pressed to put up our offensive numbers against air and the defense is plain nasty. Oklahoma has been playing their starters for at least three quarters, I've had to refer to the press guide to know who most of our players are in the second half several times.
Football is a game of match ups, and OU does not match up well with us. We are uber versatile, talented, and can match up with any style. Listen to the people who know and will tell the truth, ex-coaches, ex-players, and professional gamblers, they know we are nasty good. Believe you me the people who know and keep quiet, current coaches, are scared as hell.

Lol, all I can think about is panic attack dude in that game.

From the resident alternate jersey party pooper… Dark mode is elite. All else is not worth the change.

Dark Mode is amazing. Greys can get lost to time as far as I’m concerned. I’d rather see us in all orange including the orange helmet.

 

[rikberry31]

Yeah I'd be saving it all up for Bama at this point.

I really think we have already tipped our hand quite a bit and we don't need to save anything special for anybody. We have shown several looks and what's scary is that we can change packages without changing personnel much. Against NCst we went from playing 12 personnel to four wides and an empty backfield without changing personnel and snapped the ball with 20 seconds on the play clock. That is near impossible for a defense to deal with. And that is just the offense.

 

[Brillovol]

Nonsense.

Alabama never got a single player, never won a single game, never hoisted a single trophy - because of uniforms “the players wanted”.

On the flip side, the BaseVols hoisted 3 trophies, are the top recruiting team in the nation, and broke the record for wins in a season. All while letting the players pick the uniforms.

So maybe it doesn’t matter and maybe we shouldn’t care?

 

[Vol464]

Sab. I think that's short for something else. I can't remember.

First paragraph of the love letter -
I know you are struggling with your decision. I just want you to know I wish you well wherever you play, but my heart will break for you if you announce Trojan. We love you in Tennessee. You would be our hero.

Sabinocchio? Maybe

When Beth Mowins is clearly the better broadcaster in a booth...

 

[Vol464]

Obviously. Same for those advocating for. So what are you fussing for again?

Because you don’t want him on your lawn. Duh.

CJH sent the weekend forecast to oklahoma:



He let them know that



He told them that it is personal, but essentially they are just step 4 in Tennessee’s 16 step program.

 

[rikberry31]

Good lord. . . Kent State has to play Penn State this week.

Another million in the bank. And PSU won't put more than fifty on them.

The pearl clutching about uniforms from the boomer foggies is next level. Let the kids where what they want from a selection of approved options and let's ride. If they like the uniform and play well, who cares if it is grey or orange or black. Heck we have brown uniforms in our history. Some folks heads would truly explode if they announced we were gonna come out in a brown uniform one Saturday.

Lol, she was leading him along with suggestions and he was just like “I don’t know…”

I mean, I didn’t hate the alt Packers unis a few years ago…

Yikes. I’m experiencing 2nd hand embarrassment.

Another super bowl

It is nice to see that we are not the only ones with insider losers.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

cant wait to beat oklahoma by 35 points =)

In the first half

 

[rikberry31]

Yeah, I saw an interview with Peyton where he was clowning about the fact that he set an NFL record for INTs his rookie year. He said coaches should not pull rookie QBs because that's how they learn and don't make the same mistake twice. But coaching Peyton, a person is aware that he is dealing with a great football mind who learns from mistakes. Mr. Mayo Malaise, not so much. He needs better impulse control. He is never going to be a Peyton, but he can play his role and learn not to hurt his team.

In two years Levis will be playing Arena Football, if that is still around.

 

[rikberry31]

That's why I think UF can win by 7+

Don't do it. FU is tweeking crackhead.

They can wear whatever they want. I reserve the right to dislike them and say so. Plus, I am voting for you not to do the game thread. So there.

 

[rikberry31]

Someone should edit all those types of clips together and let them get played 24/7 at the football complex.

I doubt anyone at Tennessee, including Heup (mabey his wife), gives a rat's bald a$$ about Bobby boy. The whole Stoops clan is a bunch of inbred Yankees. "Big Game" Bobby only made his hay by beating K-State and Texas a few times.

Waking up and it’s still not gameday…
