Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

If we don’t load the gun, cock it and shoot ourselves directly in the foot multiple times the past 4 games we’d have stronger 1st half showings.

Sooooooo frustrating...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I dunno, I now think this is just who we are.

Yep

 

[JT3]

This was Nico's best SEC game in his young career. Just need him to keep stacking good games.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We'd be undefeated if we'd just catch even 25% of our drops.

Yep...

 

[peaygolf]

Nice win over our northern neighbor.




Now. Catch a freaking pass.

 

[Devo182]

Based on all predictions post-today,

Expect us to be 8th-10th first ranking. Would include autobids, which are still stupid. So not a normal ranking or even power ranking.

This was Nico's best SEC game in his young career. Just need him to keep stacking good games.

I'm impressed that he seems to be growing quickly. Georgia will be a big test for him. I'm looking forward to seeing how he handles a rivalry top 10 match up on the road.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Nice win over our northern neighbor.

Now. Catch a freaking pass.

Ahhh. I don't like that guy. How about this one?....

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Our receivers did not drop three TDs. Each one of those would have been very difficult catches. Kitselman’s was not a drop - just a good play by db.

Huh. Bro they were drops yes kitselman was hit but the definition of drop is letting go of something.

 

[Ashevolle]

I hope Neyland goes crazy cheering next time Max comes out for a FG.

Poor kid. Lots of talent. Had a REAL bad day. Hope he can move on quickly.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Desean Bishop is a Vol.

No knock against him just think the ceiling is higher for seldon and Lewis.

 

[Devo182]

I think just getting to 10-2 is going to be a chore for this team. We should do it...but...ughhhh....they make everything so freaking much harder than it should be.


They make my nerves bad...

Vandy is going to be a tough tough game. And I know nobody wants to hear that. But they're good and we're very struggly. And on the road.

It is what it is. We either take care of business or go 9-3 as expected.

Hopefully we can keep overachieving though.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Lincoln Riley is a great coach.

 

[gordonr24]

There’s going to be a huge potential logjam at the top of the SEC standings when the season ends. Forget the playoff. There could be 4+ teams that have 2 conference losses and two of them have to play each other in the SECCG

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Better to be 7-1 and be complaining about not winning by more.

Than all the other possibilities after having already played....Bama, UF, OU, NC St, Arky, UK...we'd have 3 losses under any other HC the last 15 years.

I know you get that. Just to say - we have good problems.

I know that...I love this team...but...ughhh..it is so freaking frustrating to watch them just screw up relatively easy stuff and making it so hard on themselves.

You know it and I know it...we should he scoring 40+ a game...it is NOT opposing defenses doing anything, it is just us stopping ourselves so many times a game..

I do fear that this propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot may cost us big time if it is not stopped.

On the bright side..Nico played beautifully...he looked like we thought he would all year..

On the dark side...the worst thing to come from this game is Max forgetting how to kick.

A kicker going ice cold is anathema for a team that seems to always get entangled in close games....he is a big reason this game was relatively close.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Cope.

 

[SagginVawls]

I am really glad we won, but I don't think I can bet on Tennessee anymore LOL. This is the third time this year I have missed a big parlay by 1 pick with that pick being UT... totalling at 15K in winnings this year.

Lets just make it to Atlanta. GBO

 

[engineerVOL]

Miles Kitselman is a great name for a TE. Very on-brand for the position.

Or a trial attorney.

 

[engineerVOL]

Would have preferred to beat Kentucky into dust... But the late games really worked out well for us.

Will be interesting to see how our magical ESPN playoff percentage will change now.

Big positive is that Nico had a great game. Three touchdown drops on absolute perfectly thrown dots. He keeps spinning it like that the receivers will put it together.

Nico was great tonight. Bodes well for the future. These wide receivers are severely lacking though.

 

[SagginVawls]

Tellin ya to just bet NBA

I have no idea what to bet in the NBA, but if you will lead then I will gladly trust you and make some money.

 

[highspeed]

I would give my right nut for us to put it all together against Georgia and boat race their ass.

I am also willing to sacrifice your right nut for that result.

 

[engineerVOL]

Even Tony picked off Vandersniff.

 

[engineerVOL]

I dunno, I now think this is just who we are.

Exactly. This is us. We pick street fights now.
