Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[rikberry31]

Exactly. Was just about to say this.

Holy crap! You got dirt on Hooker too?

 

[mrMet]

I was so certain we would beat Arkansas and was annoyed at my fellow Vol friends in our group chat that I made a horrible declaration thirty minutes before the game.

"There is no way we lose to Arkansas. Hell, if we lose I'll drink my own piss."

Never. Ever. Have I regretted a statement so much in my life. I've been hearing it from them all week. I've seen what happened to FSU... I won't let my foolishness spread bad juju onto UT. We are heading to Knoxville Saturday morning for the Florida game, but before we leave I'm going to get a solo cup... and give my all for Tennessee. This is gonna suck.

I legit lol’d

Tbh, I'm not sure what we as a fanbase are supposed to believe? That it's all purely innocent and just a huge coincidence? Live ball fouls are NEVER called on teams playing us. Ever. They are called on them playing other teams and they are called on us...but never on them when playing us. It's essentially statistically impossible for the foul situation to have been this way for 2 year so...the only reasonable explanation is that multiple ref crews have been instructed to call games that way.

There is actually data on flags against opponents. I can’t remember where it is kept, but I looked at it over the summer. I will try to find it.

I was looking for UGA and not UT.

Yeah, last time it was posted in here, it was egregious.

 

[rikberry31]

The wrap around choke hold is the one that really bothers me

To be fair the official was in the wrong position to make the call, The play happened 10 feet away directly in front of him.

 

[GVol1966]

Why haven’t we seen any Braylon Staley.

Heard he was unguardable in camp.

Yeah but Heupel has some unwritten rule.
Never play any freshmen offense players any meaningful minutes.

I’m guessing here but it’s the only thing I can think of why , no matter how good and talented they never play, unless it’s UTC or Kent st.

There are those who believe in the medicinal powers of urine.

 

[rikberry31]

These receivers can’t stay healthy a full season…not a good look if they ever thought of playing in the NFL

?

 

[engineerVOL]

We truly do have to beat the refs and the opponent. The live ball penalty disparity is eye opening.

 

[Jack Burton]

I know a guy who is a manager on X and he said Squirrel is going to be driving the equipment truck from now on.

It’s probably difficult to drive with a broken collarbone. Or is it?

Maybe they aren’t 17. Seems to me. …that I heard somewhere…about a 17 year old WR in the SEC who is awesome. Just sayin…

 

[rikberry31]

Not enough credit is given to Arkansas. I want their RB to portal here. Their defense played like we did against Oklahoma. Absolute animals. I miss Sam Pittman. Good man.

Buuuut…. Film’s out on this offense and seems we will sputter along until next year. Can’t fix this in season.

There's nothing wrong with the offense There were opportunities and open men all over the field. You're putting too much emphasis on scheme, execution particularly our blocking is the problem. It's the Jimmies and the Joes.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

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

 

[rikberry31]

And that’s why I’m still in doom mode.

It’s like kids these days can’t stand to have one blemish on their record.

When we lost to USCjr, we still had a chance at the SEC, but nope we laid down and lost to Vandy that year as well.

For some reason it’s only ever happens to us, or feels that way lol

Yep, it's only us. Everybody else wins a natty every year.

 

[rikberry31]

Only way I will believe that the arky game was a fluke is if we go out and start winning again

Well better freakin win then dagumit! If you don't believe we are f***ed.

It's every game.

Which is head scratching to me. Wasn’t this oline supposed to be one of the best we’ve had in some time? Maybe I missed something, but other than the d-line, weren’t people gushing over how this was the second best unit on our team?

I wasn't speaking about talent. It is execution.

Paper tigers.

No I get that, but even that wasn’t supposed to be a problem. I guess my point is I’m baffled as to how this oline is looking so terrible when it’s supposed to be one of the more talented groups on the team. Hell, our secondary, which I was very worried about, has impressed me more than the oline.

 

[Jackcrevol]

One less beer, one less word. One less solo cup.

 

[DD4ME]

If this football thing doesn't work out we have options.
