Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Pridedad]

GameDay will more than likely be at Oregon/OSU in week 7. Then week 8 they're gonna have to decide between Bama @ Vols or UGA @ Texas

Most likely depends on who wins this weekend

Jack Daniel’s Coy Hill may or may not be hitting the market. TFWIW

Not true. If for example,UGA is 12-0 and plays GA Tech and three terrible teams you think they are not going to get in. Also, how to do fault a team for scheduling NC St which has been a fringe Top 25 team. When you schedule them several years in advance and they turn out to be bad.

Any P4 team is getting in a 12-team playoff at 12-0 regardless of schedule. But remember that UGA opened with Clemson, meaning it will play 10 P4 teams: 8 SEC + Tech + Clemson.

I seem to remember that Kenny Chesney did something like that during the Tebow years.

Chesney entered the stage in a Gator jersey and helmet…other rivals also. Never cussed out UT.

I think it's good that Gameday will be there to give it a big game feel. Keep the guys focused.

A noon game on the CW is a trap game

Fair point, I was actually wondering if we thought it was true given they'd also want to be in Knoxville for Bama.

That's the meet me out back uniform...........word is Weezer has that tattooed on his chest!

Who is Wingstop?

One of @SoilVol's hunting rifles imo. Or maybe @Volunteer821's.

(Possibly also refers to the chicken wing chain.)

If LSU is so "beloved"..why did he leave to start with? Looks like he would learn to love where he is...where he is a NC contender.

Side note...IF any of the crap rumors are true...just one more reason to hate pure mercenaries.

I said..IF..

He was behind two NFL bound (most likely first round) OTs and was projected top backup for the second straight season. Not creating a conspiracy theory…just preparing for real life contingencies. I don’t know this kid’s heart, so “beloved LSU” could be unfair. Louisiana kid picked them as a top 10 prospect and played out a season. Could return home and be a top NFL prospect…not a wild shot. And not worried either way.

What is ment by the Knoxville news sentinel headline "If this new Heupel lasts"

I will never understand the pearl clutching at what our crowd did that game. I don't condone it, but if you wanted a recipe for a crowd littering the field they perfected at that game. Kiffin + awful awful one-sided officiating + constant fake injuries + recently allowed alcohol sales. Piss off a drunk night crowd anywhere and that behavior may seem mild. The SEC can control the officiating (somewhat at least), liquor sales, and a rule for faking injuries and they went the opposite way to avoid that on each. They need to look in the mirror.

Exactly, what Ole Miss fans did to our basketball team just the year or two before was far more dangerous than what happened in Neyland that night but that got excused and swept under the rug. The officiating that night was criminal! The Singaporean government has executed people for less heinous crimes. It was stupid for the fans to do, but all the people acting like it was unprecedented, despicable and the end of the world were/are just as ignorant & pathetic as those people hurling things onto the field.

Can you tell me what bottle shop you’re at I would like to stop in next week, will be in Nashville next Tuesday. If you don’t care to share?

also a game after a bye week ain’t gonna be a trap game ever under a competent coaching staff lol

This team is also just all business. Don't see them getting complacent. They different

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Ok if he just wanted to fully heal and not tough it out...

I respect it! I think it's really f'n stupid to try and play through an ankle when you're a 350 pound tackle. That's just asking for you to eff it up for the rest of the year.

I love and respect toughing it out if you can make it happen. Much rather you get healthy.

Good grief. They've benched the guy for a true freshman b/c our defense smothered that entire offense and Hawkins (the true frosh backup) moved the ball a little bit in the second half. Wait until the OU fans figure out that that was b/c UT was playing 3rd and 4th string in the second half.

I'm not sure I could imagine a worse handling of a QB room. As mentioned, the news is that they literally ran Gabriel (super senior starter) off to pacify Arnold. Then they panicked in a game that they were NOT going to win, and sat Arnold for a true frosh who had very limited (but slightly better) success against our 3rd and 4th string defense. As I've watched the OU media since the game, it sounds like there will be a fan revolt if Arnold goes back in over the backup. And even if he did, the fans would be booing the poor guy like we did Guarantano. He's done at OU.

So, naturally, per the link in the tweet above:

Stay tuned for Arnold to transfer, which means that their handling of the QB room has wasted a super-senior that was trained up in the system by Heupel himself, as well as wasting a 5 star RSF QB, and left them dependent on a true freshman. Lord, thank you for the staff we have...

I'm a little bummed. First, for the Arnold kid. Second, for the Hawkins kid. Lastly, just because I wanted to see OU win out to help our SOS. Instead, it looks like that program is headed toward dumpster fire status. (Don't hate it for Stoops' sake, tho. I'll be honest.)

Between this and Bill Napier I am sitting here like:

I think if they both win this weekend...GameDay will be in Washington for Michigan @ UW next week.

 

[mrMet]

How panthers got their own category because of one good backup week idk.

It’s Big Cat. He does this every week and loves to make wild categories

 

[Vol423]

Trap or nah?

College Gameday isn't going to be there because of Arkansas. They're following us. They know we're a threat to win it all this year.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Do people that drive electric cars listen to AC/DC?

Or do they listen to something current?

People who drive electric cars like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.

Trap or nah?

If the game was this Saturday then that would be a textbook trap game. But coming off a huge win and a bye? Hogs are smoked.

I don’t think College Gameday is gonna be there at all
