Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[SouthKnoxVOL]

For which team?

Our resume isn't great outside of Bama. We got quite a lot of respect for beating a bunch of ~.500 teams by 10 or fewer pts.

Vandy game will help us. Miss St won't.

Lmao our SOS is better than 7 other teams in the top 12

 

[Devo182]

4 SEC and BIG teams speaks a lot on what the committee thinks about the rest of the conferences.

Then maybe they'll do away with these 4 autobyes after this year

So stupid.

Agreed

autobids are so dumb

SOS <> Resume

And yet we're ranked...7th?

Most predicted us 8th to 10th and people are upset we aren't any higher than our AP ranking at 7th...despite us not beating a single SEC team so far by more than 10?

Jmo but we should be quite happy. We've skated by since the 2H vs OU, including needing an OT win vs a bad UF team. Needing to comeback vs UK. Loss to Arky.

And yet...just keep winning baby. Beat Miss St and Vandy and we'll make our way in. Vandy is the key game now, at worst. But I think we give UGA a game. Very vulnerable.

 

[InVOLuntary]

We're in with one loss right now. Bunch of one loss teams below us. It's a lot harder to work your way in. We're sitting pretty good, imo.

Momentum changes all the time in CFB games. Please see our first half play vs 2nd half play.

Baseball games are 9 innings. Team with momentum through 4 doesn’t mean squat.

Florida was driving to tie the game late in the 4th quarter with a walk on, and UGA scored because they returned an interception to the 4 yard line.

My point is that Georgia is not a juggernaut. Should have lost to UK (overturned pick 6), got beat by Bama, and struggled against Florida.

Lol Oregon has also beaten #12 BSU and pummeled other conference opponents outside of OSU.

I agree with Penn St. I could see them swapped with Indiana even. Many had them higher.

Touche on the bsu. Most contending teams dont have 2 good or great wins atm. Its disingenuous to marginalize Tennessee’s wins outside of bama when most contenders are in the same boat as us. Hell, texas/psu/indy dont have any top 25 wins. Byu has 2, they should be higher.

Florida was also down to their 3rd and 4th RBs and had both starting corners out pretty early in the game.

No doubt. Napier has done a good job keeping his dudes playing throughout all season.

They really have improved the last several games no doubt.

I'm impressed that the Lady Vols are hitting layups.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Yeah definitely better than past years. Be curious how they do against top competition.

She will have a nice returning roster next year to build on.

Ruby, Latham, Spearman, Cooper, Boyd is a solid core.

With this style they will likely beat someone they aren't supposed to , but when shots aren't falling they will lose a few where they are significantly favored. DW did his homework. picking an a coach with an entertaining system. Not trying to beat USCe at their own game.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Yearsssssss of missed layups and bricks from 5-10ft away.

Not to mention the broken backboards.

I'm impressed that the Lady Vols are hitting layups.

I forgot what that looked like. I'm liking the physical play and driving to the rim.

Not much standing around. Spreading the floor. Pressure defense.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It gets emptier and emptier every year.

It’s really sad.

Quitters..

 

[Orange.]

He's making Bawny look to bad.

Lebron was a Knecht fan during the NCAA tournament last year, long before DK landed at the Lakers. AD loves the guy, too. The fans out there love him. I think people's fixation on Brawny is overblown and completely unproductive. It really has no bearing on anything, that I can see.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I wonder if people have tried simply not being salty about what people post on a message board to the point thay they rage quit?

I wonder if people have tried not posting asinine Idiot Margin drivel ad infinitum..

Agree that they’re not a juggernaut

I love baseball....I hate hate hate hate MLBs stupid financial system.

Give me a real salary cap that forces a level field and I would come back.

This season was garbage...it was over before it ever even started. I mean did ANYBODY really ever doubt that the Dodgers were going to win it all?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Cool.

Now let's think about this. You lost your cool. Who won that battle? You? If your wife finds that an attractive quality

I hope it works for y'all. My wife would get up and leave, mortified.

Let's think about this. Had you hit that person.

Who would have been arrested, you or he? What if they hit their heads on metal seats, or fall to concrete and crack their skull?

You think your the first person that's had an obnoxious drunk behind them?

Hoss, lemme tell ya...point is there are ways to deal with things to resolve issues, without losing your cool.

Some people have had to pick up a 2nd job the past 3-4 years. That cuts into VN time.




*Seriously, and this is going to sound bad, I think VN was funner when we were terrible. The sunshine pumpers/ nega-vol era was addictive to me. Some of the best times I've had on here were during coaching searches (Grudenmania). I still enjoy reading/posting with you all but the "hope" years were special, IMO.



**Hard times make hard men harder. (That don't sound right but y'all know what I mean.)

Nothing like opening Volnation and seeing you’re 100-150 pages behind from last night
Good times

The most fun you can have as a sports fan is when your team is climbing from a disaster to greatness. No respect ever given to the climb.

We respect it. A lot of us.
