Recruiting Football Talk VIII

They'd half two send them wouldn't they?

Yeah, I would think so. My trust level of these people is too low I guess.

I just thought again about the OU field and cleats. Then about their guys that seemingly destroyed his ankle when his cleats got stuck in that abomination of field grass... Do we think that OU was willing to risk their players and our players to try to eke out a win Saturday? If so, that tells me two things.

Someone in leadership was desperate for a win.
That desperation means that even they were scared as hell of our team.

I think they just have a crappy field. We have had one in the past. We didn't do it on purpose to mess with our opponents though. I don't think OU did it on purpose. I just think they need to fire their grounds crew and get someone that knows how to care for playing surfaces.

Let's Go Larry

Larry was awesome. Dayne was known.

What was up with Spraggs?

 

[Pridedad]

Read it and report back.

Can't. It's behind a paywall.

OU learns how to lower the deck on their mower and take a little better care of their lawn and we might just be able to not hate them most of the time.

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.

This and your original comment are just unnecessary.

Comments like this are how rumors propagate. In a matter of 72 hours we have gone from wonder why he’s not traveling to the game (A normal thing for a guy that can’t play) to his heart is in Baton Rouge.

We all know that rumors cross pollinate between the different sites, which are then picked up by radio jockeys who just repeat the rumors because they don’t have much more to go on, which then feeds back into the message boards.

A decent portion of the population are not able to distinguish between “thinking out loud” and “the truth”.

Hard to use PFF for grading lineman because they simply don’t know the play call and the responsibility of said lineman. Without knowing that they are just grading based on 1 on 1’s correct me if I’m wrong? Which is great for that aspect of the game but if anybody has in actuality played the position there is more to it…

If we can't call it the beer barrel, let's call it the Malt Liquor Bowl.

We sell beer in Neyland. They sell beer in Kroger. Why should we not have the beer barrel?

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Cliffs? I don’t have 18 minutes for that.

How do you tweet something at someone? Just tweet it and include their name?

I think it is more like...

 

[mrMet]

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?

What are you looking for exactly?

It seems likely a program that has horses running around pulling a wagon on the field during games doesn't care about the condition of the grass.

Said this on Saturday. Maybe not having Oregon Trail reenactments several times per game and your field might be in better shape.

My experience at Neyland is we’re generally friendly and welcoming and game for some fun light trash talk. Continue that and we’ll keep our soul imo. You don’t have to be a Gator version of British Soccer Hooligan to back your team.

Being friendly does not mean we have to like the other teams. We can despise them and still be cordial at a tailgate and not feel the need to shank them in the parking lot after we whoop dat backside.

 

[Orangeburst]

Oregon Trail Reenactments..now that is funny.

 

[you]

I’d be very surprised if Arky scores 24 points on us when their offense relies heavily on the run game and that plays perfectly for our defense.

they have a good running QB. I don't think they'll get 24 either, but it will be problematic for our defense.

As I said, not CREATING something that isn’t there. When did NECESSARY become a prerequisite for thinking out loud on this message board? “Propogate”! Get out of here! If talking heads looking for a source want to quote “butchna from VN” then they have bigger problems…like their resume. You put too much responsibility on regular joes on a free medium.

I have not had the time to look if there are updatea. Can anyone tell me projected status of our tackles for AR?

We will have about 30-35 tackles. That is about 3 per possession if they get approximately 10-11 possessions.

I LIKED everybody I met on Saturday…and it didn’t compromise my team fervor and loyalty one iota.

What we’ve needed.

High quality men of wealth and taste.

So nobody from the RF. Buncha morans.
