Recruiting Football Talk VIII

We need to take the ball and go score a damn TD to start the game Saturday. That will help put all this to rest and hopefully help build up some momentum for Nico. I fear how tight both the team and the fans will get if we start slow again. We’ve gotta find some rhythm heading into the biggest game of the year, the third Saturday in October.

Please vote for my nephew for Tennessean player of the week. Some of you know that my brother committed suicide 2 years ago. His son, Brogan High, is up for Tennessean player of the week. He wasn’t expecting to start but got thrust into the starting position as the ball was kicked and then Portland beat Henry County for the first time ever. He’s also the biggest Vols fan you would ever meet. Thanks everyone.

Voted. Sounds like your nephew kicks ass in a multitude of ways

Soooooooo, has everyone calmed down some? Admittedly, I was so pissed after last Saturday and for days after. I stayed off of here except for the occasional read through out the days and went to something else. This is a different type of year for us. It’s Florida week and it’s later than what we are used to and what we’ve been clamoring for. I’m over the loss last week and want to talk about Florida. Can we do that?? It’s here and that’s what makes the Florida rivalry great.

Lol don't read back one page. The answer is no.

I won't tell anyone how to enjoy their season, but having a couple of decades of bad football under my belt and spending an unhealthy amount of time being negative about it i would encourage anyone finding it eating at them to take a healthy breath. I say it from experience not judgement. I think all of you mean well, but this is the same team we swore was going to go 16-0 before Saturday.

Think about the dick punch Bama just took. The sport is pretty volatile currently. UGA is still anemic. Only Texas has the luxury of having a Nico level QB as their backup. OSU has the luxury of playing no one.

By all means discuss concerns I am just saying maybe don't leap off a cliff until after UF.

I listened to Swain running his mouth today, bad mistake...probably just like logging back in on here...I wonder if he was so quick to dog out his own teams and coaches.

Who is he to be so critical?

We are what I said we were in pre-season...a really good team with flaws and weak spots that could go anywhere from 8-11 wins.

I hate the Idiot Margin, and they are running wild and free on VN, louder, dumber and more obnoxious than ever, so I'm gonna leave again, but before I do..

I want to ask my many respected friends on VN to please pray for my daughter and son-in-law, she can not leave Clearwater due to her job as head of nursing staff at a rehab facility that is also a county Hurricane shelter...what sucks is she is due to leave Thursday on a 10 day vacation, but that will be after the storm, and if the long talked about, deeply dreaded nightmare scenario happens to T-Bay, it could be too late.

My nerves are shot....football doesn't mean that much to me right now.


Adios muchachos 🙋‍♂️

In our prayers
Don’t let the gurus get you down. Besides, some of us “silent type” get a kick out of your retorts to said gurus.
If it’s any relief, there’s a huge amount of assets being assembled and staged for post storm help. I know it doesn’t help while 💩 is hitting the fan but efforts started over the weekend.

Agreed. It ain't how you start, it's how you finish. Everything we want for this team is still on the table.

While this is the most infuriating part of that game, it's also what gives me some hope.... We lost that game. Sure Arkansas 'won', but one of the TDS was an ole move to get the ball back... I think what we're most guilty of is not being good enough to overcome all the silly mistakes we made.

Fix that... And we can be what we thought we were coming in to that game.

More about us than them.

You have a sincerely weird obsession with me. The entire forum was upset in the aftermath of the horrific loss to Arkansas. Hell, MetalVol was in the Game Thread eviscerating our coaching staff for the performance as well as some other reputable posters, but I’m apparently “TheDookieMonster” because I made a tongue in cheek (obviously not serious) remark about moving the football team to the parking lot until they play better.

You got to admit "TheDookieMonster" is pretty good...

I’ve watched a lot of breakdowns on the Arkansas game from an offensive stand point, and no exaggeration, 4-5 TDs were left off the board by either the oline getting blown up or Nico missing a guy. The play calling wasn’t as bad as it seemed live, things were there at times, execution wasn’t. Play calling still needs to evolve and adapt to the weaknesses of the oline though. The second thing Nico will see on film and learn from, I 100% believe that. The oline though? I’m skeptical they fix it, but if they do and it was just a bad one off game, we will be alright. We shall see.

Agreed I believe the staff could schemed to help o-line but after watching the breakdown we left 5-6 scores out there.
