Recruiting Football Talk VIII

So Josh Pate basically says we broke their QB. Basically said he'll never recover from that, at least he won't at OU.

Yep. I think he's probably right. . . or it won't be this season if he does recover. Arnold's head has to be in bad shape.

It won't end up mattering because we will get to play two more top 10 teams, but this ass narrative that OK lost more than UT won is garbage. They could have started the other QB and we'd have run that guy off the field. We gave up a late TD late playing backups and everyone randomly acts like this game was close.

Eh... I'm sure there's fans pushing some form of that narrative.

But I think most football people look at it, at least from what I've seen, as a defensive game between two really good defenses that dictated how that game was gonna be played.

Neither team got good o line play consistently. Both qbs turned it over multiple times.

But we have more answers offensively, and ultimately that was the difference.

Maxim game off I ever saw one.

Arkansas is another of those far W teams we rarely play, and have amassed a L record to of late due to sucking. That ends now.

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.

All good suggestions, love hiking in Bella Vista - I also think Wright’s is closed on Sundays. Lots to do in downtown Bentonville

I posted before the game a question... Would they just say that OK just was overrated if the vols won? If we'd have ran them, you know that would have been the narrative. Now that it was relatively close they're claiming we didn't beat them bad enough.

Pretty cool concert. Knoxville is banging right now.

Morgan walked in with Nico, Heup, Bru and a fully dressed in uniform Peyton lol

Feedback from friends that traveled.

The fan experience was excellent. it would be hard for us not to cheer for OU the remaining of their season.

Their fans are great. Tailgates welcome to all, food and beverage ,you name it. Just good people that love their team and school but decent humans to opposing fans that travel.

That's what I hear and have long heard. Punks on the internet are not necessarily indicative.

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!

I would say the opposite. This forum takes good content and ideas from anyone. Crazy stances are usually flushed, but that's just so it doesn't look like FF.

they pretty much decided last night that he was going to have to go somewhere else to start

they let a good QB walk to go with Arnold and he hasn't turned out like they thought, and the staff likes that freshman QB WAY MORE than Arnold anyway. Even if he played a better game last night, the freshman is killing it in practice and coming along quickly.

Any news on the guy from OU that was injured? It was bad, hopefully he can recover and play again some day.

I wish they started the other guy so they couldn't be singing the "if he played the full game" song.

Yall see Morgan Wallen intro with Bru, Nico, Heupel and Manning?

 

[jave36]

You'll get to see 45+, jave, no worries.

Last one I went to was the Joe Adams punt return where he dodged all 11 of our players and some of them more than once. So I'm due for a good one.

Rodney Garner effect.

I see your tagline! Love it.

Well just have to find out next year

I missed it. Sounds great!

Talking to Cam (we know he’s been limited), are the coaching staff holding him for down the SEC road?

Oh he didn't say, but I'm hoping so.

 

[TheBigOne10]

We are literally the hottest school in the nation!!! Holy sh*t this is the stuff of legend

Laughing at Wanye trying to claim Tennessee

Anyone else chapped by Wanya Morris citing UT and Oklahoma as his Colleges on Sunday night football position intros?

Don’t be hard on guys like Morris and Gray. They were told that if they stayed at Tennessee they’d be ruled ineligible due to impermissible benefits and wouldn’t be able to play.

We need OU to win the rest of the year so that Brent Venables' job is safe!

Vol Twitter needs to pick that up. Ice cold trolling.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I dont agree with that. He was constantly getting chipped last night. He was in on 2 sacks IDK if they gave him any credit for the 2 but, he was around the ball.

Just going by his stats. He has done little to nothing so far. I don’t understand it. Dude is one of the most talented defensive players in the nation. So far Pearce has 1 solo tackle, 0.5 sacks, no INts and no FF. He is a junior.

Meanwhile true freshman Dylan Stewart of SC has 5 solo tackles, 2.5 sacks and 2 FF. Stewart is not better than Pearce. Did you see Pearce whiffing and failing to get the QB to the ground? That’s not like him. Something’s going on.
