Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[DD4ME]

We got that swagger back

 

[Weezer]

Day one in the village of Trash, um, I mean Nash, is complete. Mostly good news. I do have to have a cardiac stress test in a few months. Huzzah. One more day in this hell and I get to return home to the land of the Vols. Double huzzah!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I can respect that, and I'd like to think that. It's just that with that crowd and the injuries on the OL, I think he was balancing protecting the ball and protecting Nico's psyche. That defense was throwing 8 months of planning and some Venable complexity/disguises at Nico. I think CJH took himself out of the equation and coached for the team's and Nico best benefit.

I think he knew that offense wasn't getting to 20 points without more help from us. And he was right. Even with Nico fumbling twice, (in hindsight, with my BVS flair up out of the equation now) they still didn't get to 20. All that to say that I suspect CJH was thinking more about the odds of their low score vs the odds of our high score. He said in his presser that the game dictated the style. I believe him.

Peace

It occurs to me that two of the best defensive coaches in CFB..Furby Smart and Bent Vegetables have now paid Josh Heupel the ultimate complement...they BOTH admitted to devoting a lot of their teams precious practice time, in pre-season camp AND during the season instead of preparing for the other teams on their early schedule...just to stop Tennessee.

That's crazy...I can't believe they both admitted to doing it.

We have a great coach.

By chance if Texas goes undefeated in 1st year in SEC, Katie bar the door on the bragging and smack talk coming out of Austin, Texas.

Close your eyes and just imagine the Vols and Horns both 12-0 and meeting in Atlanta.
And just for extra sauce, imagine that Ewers is out and Manning is the starter.
Now imagine the hit your wallet would take if you want tickets.

To my damn self, that's who.

 

[Glitch]

I want those 5 minutes back.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

We'll find out in about nine months.

 

[Weezer]

@MetalVolunteer mentioned that the rumor was their field was going to be slippery. Anyone in the know care to elaborate?

I also wondered if we had brought extra cleats with longer spikes, just in case?

It's called, Oklahoma is a bunch of cheating bastards, and we still beat their ass.

Huzzah!

 

[Glitch]

Better but it won't matter.

Twss...

 

[Glitch]

Ok..Glitch can take the off week no game thread..lol

 

[CABVOL]

This is why we had trouble running the ball. Look at that box.

Now, having admitted that we had trouble running the ball at times. This was about a 20 yard run against that box.

Not only did they stack the box, I noticed numerous occasions where they’d give a two high look initially but then just before ball was snapped, one of the safeties came crashing to the line.

 

[Glitch]

@nicksjuzunk where's the bye week game thread?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Having heard Robert Plant live multiple times, his voice is one of the best I have heard. Up there with Chris Cornell for me personally. Ive only seen a couple hundred bands live, but some big time ones in there and he always impressed.

Robert Plant has a powerful voice that he does crazy stuff with...his voice also gets on my nerves sometimes because it is so shrill.

So I think both can be true depending on someone's personal likes.

 

[InVOLuntary]

yeah if we got 7 there it would have been a different ballgame

I hate FG in the red zone especially when it's 1st and goal.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I wish Bru would have scored on that one.

Probably would have if he was wearing orange pants.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Am I misremembering this being a Daniel Tosh skit?

It was. And it was wondeful. lol

 

[TN-POSSUM]

All of us older folks know all about living on the edge, we used to answer the phone without knowing who it was.

 

[Weezer]

What in the world did I just watch 30 seconds of and then turn off because it was retarded?

I hope she dates one of his players. Or maybe Nick Saban can finally get his revenge.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Not only did they stack the box, I noticed numerous occasions where they’d give a two high look initially but then just before ball was snapped, one of the safeties came crashing to the line.

Yep.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Probably would have if he was wearing orange pants.

He would have probably killed a couple of those defenders with the orange helmet too.

 

[Weezer]

Damn. Walking the hospital has left me sore as hell. Anyone know a Swedish Masseuse on call?

No, I don't have Deshaun Watson's phone number.

 

[jave36]

Believe she is a Student at Mississippi.

Former student, no way he's allowed to date a co-ed. Pretty sure she graduated last year.

[jave36]

MNF always has the crappiest matchups.

Jacksonville vs Buffalo and Washington vs Cincinnati.

Preseason buffalo and Jacksonville was supposed to be intriguing. Jacksonville got a lot worse in the offseason somehow

 

[jave36]

Bless her heart. Unfortunately that violation is on whoever leaked it, not whoever reported second hand on it. And if it’s just conjecture, she might as well have just confirmed it.

Pretty sure they sign away that portion of their HIPPA rights when they get a scholarship. Schools are required to report injuries to the media, so there's no way lawyers at hundreds of schools forgot to shore up that part of the paperwork.
