Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[captainfalcon777]

Man on Swain Event this morning Swain was alluding that Heard could have gone on Saturday but didn’t even go with the team to Oklahoma. If true, not a good look for him.

Interesting. Gotta trust Swain so not a good look at all

 

[butchna]

Didn't he say f*** Tennessee on stage one time? I seem to remember he did once. I could care less, entertainers always pander to the audience. If Morgan Wallen thought he could sell his music by singing about and pandering to a Bombay cricket squad he would do it. He would say, "F*** Islamabad."
People need to realize that these people target Tennessee because we are a huge and extremely loyal fanbase.

Prolly already corrected, but that was Darius Rucker (aka Hootie) at an event in Columbia. South Carolina native.

 

[tnhunter 10]

I'd buy it and wear it with pride. Wonder if I could have the Power T stitched on the other side.

 

[DD4ME]

What we need to do to that AR run game.

 

[tnhunter 10]

I think the Arkansas game is where Nico breaks out big in the pass game. Razorbacks can’t defend the pass at all.

Because they have our old secondary. No disrespect.

 

[BabyGirlVol]

No they are definitely not...and at no point did I ever imply their defense was good....I said their OFFENSE is dangerous...and it is.

It is also kind of weirdly herky jerky and discombobulated.

Arky's defense should get shredded by Nico and his receivers...their defense ain't much at all.

Okies defense on the other hand is really really good...or at least they sure can be at their best.

Arkansas has a better QB than Oklahoma (crazy to think). Will need to contain him in the pocket

 

[DD4ME]

Sad. Doesn't excuse stealing tax payer dollars.

 

[Orangeburst]

Heck, have we even blitzed a few times this year?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

He’s talented but I’m not sure he’s good.


He makes alot of stupid plays and I mean a lot.

 

[rikberry31]

No..and it's not cool to make a false accusation like that...bad form dude.

Darius Rucker, of Hootie and the Blowfish fame, and who is a huge SC fan said that.

Morgan Wallen is from freaking Sneedville and moved to Gibbs when he was a teenager...come on man, that dude is about as Orange blooded as you can get and throwing that out there as a truth is not cool.

I wasn't real making an accusation but asking a question but shouldn't have thought out loud. You'll have to forgive my old mind I remembered the incident not the names and I knew Wallen was involved somehow. My buddy corrected me that it was Rucker on stage with Wallen. The general comment about entertainers stands.

 

[LoudOrange]

Speaking of Auburn, why do we NEVER play them when they're down and we're good, but always play them when they're good and we're down?

I think they have a 6 or 7 game lead in the all-time series, which is a travesty given our relative histories. They've lucked out in the years they've gotten Tennessee. As soon as they're good again, they'll roll back on our scheudle.

Pruitt beat them, I doubt they were good then.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Not to harp too much but Sat was the first full game for both Nico and Sampson. I think we do indeed unload in the passing game next week. They are atrocious against the pass. I'd about bet my entire pay check Jackson gets clamped. But I agree they will keep it a game for a little bit

Our defense will bench their QB and make it three P4 QBs faced, three broken.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

It's a classic trap game spot after beating OU, I'd be legit nervous if not for the BYE.

And Heup's record after a bye/week off is impeccable.

At UCF he was 4-1. Four blowouts and one 1 point loss to a good Memphis team in the covid year where he had all the injuries and covid opt outs.

3-0 at TN
@ No.18 UK
@ LSU
H Tex A&M

We are going to splatter Arkansas. No bye yet for them and they will be coming off a very physical game against a talented A&M.

Their offense is good and Landen Jackson scares me against our questionable tackle situation, but Heup will have us ready to unleash some shizz on them and we will take their souls.

We owe them. The Vol retribution tour shall continue. Haven't beaten them since Ainge and Co bulldozed them in 07.

Green or blue?

Has anyone given Andrej Karic a shout out yet?

A player many were either meh or out on has been out there cleanin mfers up. Dude is as mean as the rest of them and I haven't noticed him mess up at all. LG is not a weakness!

Yay Karic! I raise my cup of mead to thee!

FYI. Someone called CFB Archive posted a video of our 1989 UCLA game about a year ago. I've looked for the game several times over the years without luck. I didn't think this was a TV game. Maybe this is from a PAC-10 version of the SEC's old Jefferson Pilot regional broadcasts?

A great win at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena. UCLA was ranked #6 in the nation. It was Chuck Webb's debut. (Webb enters the game at 26:29 on the video (the announcer thinks he's Reggie Cobb on his first carry.) Majors shuffled tailbacks from that point on and also deployed the soon-to-be-famous "Cobb-Webb" combo set later in this game. You may also recognize a certain popular Neyland Stadium DJ.

During our two week game-less stretch, someone may want to take a look.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Tennessee is "impressive"

The Vol defense is the talk of the NCAAF.

 

[butchna]

Not going to be THAT guy, but my hope is we get good production from him the rest of the season and then be open minded to the possibility he portals back to his beloved LSU. Ideally Sanders backs him up next season but gets enough reps to seamlessly be THE GUY in 2026, but not petrified at the thought of fast tracking our better talent in our better OL classes. Perry, Warren, Ginther, Satterwhite and Anderson with the talent AND culture > best available portal mercenary imo.

Fulmer’s offense. He introduced the unbalanced line which was awesome and made Charles McCrae and Antone Davis first round picks.

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

Saw the previous one he did last week. Puts a premium on SOS.

 

[InVOLuntary]

people saying UT and OU will be "friends now" as fanbases. Like the new kid coming to school and we're going to show them around or something? OK. Naw. Nope. Sorry but the difference between the SEC and whatever conference you came from is we can't have friends. We hate everyone. We line up and play ball and are mentally insane

when they say the SEC is just different, they mean we are insane. And I love it

 

[Jackcrevol]

Is “tows the line” a new addition?? Or is it a staple in the lexicon?

was thinking of ways today, using my validvictorian cents to better tow the company line. I think people with half a brian would put this on a pedal stool.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Heupel calls the plays. Always has.

Where have you seen this? I saw two current players interviewed a couple of weeks ago, and one specifically said Halzle was calling plays. As due dilligence, I'll try to go back and find the video if I get the chance.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

He’s talented but I’m not sure he’s good.


He makes alot of stupid plays and I mean a lot.

Arkansas only had 7 points against Auburn with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter before a broken play deep ball TD.

O ain't that gooder.

Just look at the sidelines they zoom in on Heupel calling plays literally as he’s calling them into the headset
