Recruiting Football Talk VIII

25-15 but it wasn’t that close.

 

[JCVol00]

Hypothetically… Are we in playoffs at 10-2 with losses to GA and Bama? I’d think that’s a yes?

As long as they’re not blowouts I think 100% yes, I doubt we’d be able to host a playoff game at 10-2 though

There was several Rumors that OU field was going to be slippery.

Yes. Wasn't even a rumor. It was a sandy slippery mess last week on television. A lot of us talked about it during their Tulane game. Looks like the Okies (accidentally or on purpose) made it even worse by re-sodding days before our game.

It was dedicedly substandard for Tulane. It was an abomination for an SEC game.

Will Levis for Bryce Young straight up.

I want to see us try 4-5 different QBs this year. It can be like when Dwight traded up from a paper clip to a telescope to magic beans in the office.

Perfect. A "haven" or "harbor" for Cop'n.

 

[Midas]

Damn yall see these Browns fans going in on Tillman? He hasn’t really gotten a fair shake all year cause they keep giving other receivers more snaps I think due to how much the invested in them (Moore and Jeudy) and they haven’t done much either.

Well, it looks like there are quite a few more riders on Doc's bandwagon today. Some will admit it and some are still afraid to come out of the closet about it. What do your eyes tell you: not what some analyst or talking head says? What happens when you cast away the BVS chains?

Our guys can win every game because they are good to great on both sides of the ball with special teams being adequate to good. Still need to stay healthy and not get screwed by Sankey's striped shirts. But it feels like '98.

This bandwagon is a tough one. If you are found to be of the fake Vol variety, you will be tossed off the front of the wagon. Bumpy ride that’s strangely satisfying too.

16-0

Lol! Leaving middle Tennessee on Friday. Staying just outside Little Rock Friday night. Wake up first thing Saturday and drive the last hour into Fayetteville. Staying just north of Fayetteville Saturday night. Then we plan to stay thru Monday. Working on deciding what we should do on Sunday.

Definitely crystal bridges. And downtown bentonville is right there next to it with lots of cool stuff to do (shops, restaurants, Onyx Coffee Lab that won some awards at the global coffee competition, Walmart museum, 21C art hotel open to the public).

There's some really good casual hiking trails around the museum and a few miles away in Bella Vista if you all are into hiking.

That's the narrative for fan bases after a loss, the officials get the blame.

Sure. The difficulty is the logical error in trying to make to the move from "all (universal) fan bases complain" to "this (particular) fan base that is complaining is wrong because many fan bases have complained in error."

Not opposed to holding out Heard and Campbell for the Arkansas game tbh

Get them healthy for Florida

No way. Arky is better and on road.

Also, little Rock is 3 hours from fayetteville.

Remember everyone, if CJH was any good he'd be coaching for OU.

Really wanna rake that guy over the coals. Only that would give him attention he doesn’t deserve.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Arkansas is not good but they are better than Florida for sure.

We need those guys back

They have a new groundskeeping staff and every OU fan I know has been complaining about it all year, even before Tulane. The re-sodding was a last ditch effort to improve it before their sec opener, but it failed.

Love seeing Danny White there to support Josh and the team. Best AD in the country.

Man you can complain about officials all you want but I refuse to die on that hill. Especially when there isn't a damn thing I or any fan can do about it.

Bad officiating is a issue in every conference in College Football just not the SEC .

 

[KB5252]

Most of the sacks he had no time to do anything but get sacked. Yes, he makes boneheaded plays, but watch the game before trying to tell me what happened during the game

At least half of those sacks he held the ball instead of getting rid of it, one of those sacks he ran right into the arm of a defensive tackle...... On that same play if he hasn't been sacked he was taking a weird the step load up to throw into triple coverage.

The short quick routes are there by NFL standards, he just doesn't process quickly enough to hit them.

The o line is dog arse though. But Levis just isn't a very good QB

 

[rikberry31]

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

Mincy knows he f’d up and would give his left to be back here, instead he’s in Krogerland with “No Game” Mark the president of the SEC Beta Coaches Club.

I'm done with this topic.

I somewhat agree, but I think the SEC is noticeably worse. When I watch the big 12 or big ten games, I don't see a while lot of obvious screw ups like I do in the SEC.

 

[Billy Antrim]

Loud at 117 dBA..dont remember many motion penalties, so we have improved.

I noted Karic had one false start; still exceptional.

Ban worthy IMO
