Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[VolunteerVandiver]

Notre Dame at 16 is still bothering me.

They lost at home to an average G5 team who turned around and lost to Buffalo.

ND is always overrated

 

[Orangeburst]

let AU recruiting class burn.

Ouch bears.

AP is the weirdest man...

Kansas State drops 10 spots for getting blown out by BYU. BYU doesn't move up even one spot in the polls though.

I do think Missouri should drop, but they still won and they fell 4 spots, don't think Penn State or Utah did enough IMO to jump them.

No clue why Notre Dame jumped a spot either. But I'll take us climbing into the top 5, a big win and hopefully Arkansas is ranked when we go to Fayetteville in 2 weeks.

Vols won.

4-0.

Had some celebratory TN whiskey.

Time for bed.

Catch you morans after sleep.

Yes Brillo you're still posting Weigel tweets at 2 am, we know you had some celebratory somethings

But for real, that was some skrong 3rd shift posting. Thank you for your service, sir.

There's no rule about hitting a qb vs any other player. They don't have fouls specific to certain positions.

You can't hit a passer above the shoulders while he's passing. You can hit a player who fumbled above the shoulders.

I’m far from an expert but looking at the rules online…. it says that you can hit the qb unless it is excessive… Above the shoulder hits is considered excessive…. I don’t like the protection rules at all bc they are so subjective… I don’t think the hit reached the point of being a penalty no matter who it happened.

Strange that Bama & UGA both got bye weeks before their game against each other.

SEC HQ has their crack team of specialists crunching numbers as we speak. They’ll figure out how to allow both teams come away with a W.

Who is hungover today?

Good morning winners.

Pretty fair though tbh. They said "Let's not play dumb"

I would like to know who the "recruiting forum royalty" are? Is it me? Am I a royal Yeti? Little known fact, I am the king of Tibet, though my country is currently occupied by communists. I rule in absentia. I traded the Himalayas for the Smokies.

What I mean is, this forum has a handful of guys who have been commenting in here for a long time so your thoughts and opinions are listened to, while newcomers are generally ignored from what I've seen. Which is fine, it's yalls thing and you guys are basically a tight knit friend group, so i appreciate you responding to the new guy. Go vols!

Why is his profile pic still him in UT swag? He left. He doesn't get to rep the T anymore.

He's trying to troll. He's doing the "vol" down like horns down.

 

[Orange.]

Well, yeah. But again, where is Cam?

I thought I saw Cam a couple of times. Returning kickoffs (fair catch, prolly because of the turf); that may have been Boo. But at RB for a brief bit when DSamp was being relieved. Haven't rewatched yet to verify.

Heup is smart to play the long game and be conservative with bodies. No college team has ever played a season as long as what we're hoping to play.

 

[DD4ME]

Naw, it was Thomas. That angle doesn't show it clear and the announcers did say it was Carter but it was definitely Thomas. He's put a couple big hits on already.

Thanks for clarifying.

 

[BaldBiker]

Surprised Mizzou fell out of the top 10 after that thrilling/gritty 2 Ot performance yesterday against SEC juggernaut Vanderbilt.

 

[Devo182]

We've doubled our odds since the preseason...




and if you take a step back from a 10,000 foot view, this is still wild to see. At some point in the last 15+ years many of us had begun to lose hope we'd ever be consistently near the top once again.

Feels good man.

 

[Orange.]

I thought 23 did?

Naw, it was Thomas. That angle doesn't show it clear and the announcers did say it was Carter but it was definitely Thomas. He's put a couple big hits on already.

Boo was there too throwing a shoulder but Thomas knocked him aside as he laid the lick. Boo landed on top of Okie bruh. That's why the announcers called Boo's name. I also thought it was Boo until I rewatched the replay. Jakobe with the mega hit. Boo was in on it. Okie bruh wasn't scoring either way. Closing speed. A+ tacklers.

B2A.

I saw Seldon on the field for offense. I noticed him, but they blew a whistle for a penalty or timeout or something. I'm not sure if he stayed in for the next play after the whistle or played any more.

This was a tough time for him to return. Trying to knock off some rust against the OU defense during a tight game isn't exactly an ideal situation.

Hopefully he comes back vs Ark 100%. That could be a better game to come back in anyway.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I know their qb situations are a joke but I’m really surprised Hyatt and Tillman are both basically non factors in the league still.

It's also because a lot of random drop in trolls come in here for a few days or a week or two. Just dropping random thoughts unrelated to current conversation or being straight up confrontation with other posters here that have been commenting for awhile.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Matt LeFleur fixed Malik Willis in two weeks. Titans couldn’t do anything with him for two years.

Look like Titans should have given LeFleur the keys and moved on from Vrabel.

 

[DD4ME]

We are a top 5 team until we beat Bama. Bama will have already beat UGA. UGA will be fightibg for life and their game will be a coin toss. Then we will be top 3. We will play TX for the SEC.

Fayetteville

 

[UTSuave’]

I hate the rule and especially it’s subjective nature but I haven’t, personally, seen them differentiate between qb and normal player when the qb is attempting to pass.

They should…all I’m saying.all things considered
