Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[rikberry31]

Need to make the playoffs before Kiffin inevitably wins big at Florida

The only thing Joey is going to win big at in Florida is the Golden Bachelor Bar in Gainesville.

Don't do it. FU is tweeking crackhead.

Miss state is bad. Florida is gonna beat the pee out of them.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

FIGHT ME!!!


Grrr....

@butchna.

What you think about Bryce Young to Miami to play QB in place of Tua?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

He made a comment towards the end of the game about if Lube U didn't get the 1st down here they would want to do something Beth was like... It's 4th down.

he was talking about how far they should throw the ball. . . "should they get just a couple yards for a short field goal or try to get the first down?"

"Uh, it's 4th down, hero."

"That's what I'm trying to understand"

I mean if UF loses to MSU you gotta fire him on the spot. You just have to.

My opinion on football uniforms:

Home: choice #1 because it looks great against a nice green field and it's the VOLS signature look.
White helmets
Orange tops
White bottoms (without stripe)
White cleats

Away: top choice
Storm troopers
(I do like the all whites with the thin black outlines)

When to wear them:
Black/smokey grays against Kentucky/USCjr/non SEC rivals/ out of conference/home late Oct or early Nov

Traditional Orange/White for home and Stormtroopers for away always against bama/florida/vandy/any other top 10 teams/homecoming/bowl games

I'm good with the all Orange unis and I'm ok with the white tops/orange bottoms, in moderation.

*The Orange helmet needs to sleep with the fishes. I hate that helmet

100,000% cosigned.

Honestly the 'Back Pat,' pun unintentional needs to be an online sale only. I would buy one for kiddos to support that cause.

I personally like the Smokey Greys...but it's a once a year uniform IMO.


My least favorite is actually white tops orange bottoms. And I'd like to see a true all orange (with orange helmet) at least once, then they can retire that helmet

Yeah, that's an unforgivable loss. They play a tough schedule, Miss State aint part of it.

The timing and circumstances would command a better return than what Young has earned. But that simply may be a second and future third. If there’s anything there to harvest, McDaniel would be a godsend.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I only really dig the summit blue for basketball/baseball/softball... for football I think it works best for sleeves, socks, wrist bands, or gloves but not as the main color of pants or jersey

Thanks for noticing

A little bit of heights, more of flying. Just feels wrong being 35,000 feet in the air and going 500MPH. Like it might shake apart.

I've been traveling since I was a baby. But some time in my early thirties I went through a period where I was really nervous to fly. At one point they called for boarding and I almost just walked away.

To get over the hump, every time I felt nervous, I pulled up FlightAware and looked at all the flights that were in the air all over the world. At that time. I could zoom into The airport I was at, where I was going, everywhere in between and just was astounded at how many airplanes are in the air at one time. With how few reports of problems there are, it actually gave me great relief.

The other two things I started doing was trying to get a seat closer to the front of the plane because you feel the turbulence less. And when I was a passenger in a car, closing my eyes and feeling myself uncontrollably bounce around and still recognizing I was safe.

I hope this can help you or someone else. Because once I got over the hump, I actually looked forward to flying again and fly several times a year.

Yes for real. Did we have some receivers get open, of course it was Kent State. But, we also had Nico having to hold onto the ball for a long time due to our receivers not being open.

OUs DBs are going to be better than anyone we’ve faced so far and so will their DL so he is going to have less time to throw this week. Hopefully, our WRs can get separation so we don’t get holding penalties or sacks in the back field.

Will be a good game to see what we truly have on the OL and at our WR positions. (For the record I am hoping we were just working out the kinks) I think we beat OU no matter what though.

If OU drops eight we will kill them with throwing to the flat and run game, when they step up and go man we will deep slant or fly them (we have the speed to take off the top). Disguising their blitzes will be much more difficult due to us lining up sideline to sideline.
OU's offense will have a much harder time vs our defense than we will against theirs.

Kicking a FG on 5th down has become all the rage these days.

Where’s that guy at who hyped up Caleb Williams up before preseason tag his a$$

If you can’t find HIM? I’m available! Need something?

A lot of Vandy fans?? No such thing

@drvenner would know that if he took a break from the dad joke generator @TN-POSSUM

Yes you!! Are you a Caleb fan?….if so…..show me the TD’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Powder Blue looks wonderful on the Lady Vols.

@Ulysees E. McGill if you have a instagram account and you’re over 50…I swear I’ll give you a follow that’s bad ass

Uhmm...what? What did I do?

I have no idea what you're referencing..lol.

I mean if UF loses to MSU you gotta fire him on the spot. You just have to.

Who steps up as interim? At that point no assistant wants to stain their resume with a bunch of bad losses. I think they’d keep Napier as coach and just let him take the heat.

Once you fire the HC early in the season then the recruiting class really falls apart and your existing players start getting poached behind the scenes. UF is already unstable so going this route wouldn’t surprise me.

I’m a BEARS fan who’s perfectly fine with our current QB situation…especially considering our history. Rookies make mistakes…tons. It’s when they repeat them and project defeat in their body language that starts the clock for me. We have a win and a six point loss to a loaded playoff team. Why would I panic?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I think the bigger worry for the Bears and Caleb Williams is leading the league in sacks at 9...

Acting like a first round QB is a bust after 2 games of their rookie year is stupid.

Peyton started 0-4 with 3 TDs against 11 INTs

It's a 1st overall curse that QBs have to deal with, max dollars and the worst team. Brady, Wilson, Lamar, Rodgers all had better starts to begin with because they went to better teams. Caleb's career will have to play out a bit longer, clear though the Bears need more than a QB, cause Fields is 2-0 for the Steelers with 0 INTs throwing almost 70% right now.
