Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[85SugarVol]

I really disliked the long discussion by the announcers about the possibility of Tennessee missing the cut because Nico might be out / injured player. It's just bs. First, they don't know he's out. Second, they don't know we don't beat Georgia anyway.

But, third, and most important by far: They are encouraging what I have always resisted. Fans as a result are incentivized to root for other teams' players (not just to lose) but to be seriously injured. Are we supposed to root for an injury to Milroe? Is that what they want? I'd rather just beat him like we already did.

Eh, I understand the sentiment. But the announcers get paid to discuss the narratives

The QB of the #7 team in the country is a pretty big story and narrative.

Fans are gonna do what fans do, like they did before the CFP committee. Not sure that’s really germane.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I'll add the officials were the worst I'd seen all year. They absolutely refuse to call holding against our opponents.

I gotta say, I love the way Gaston just goes in off the bench and LAUNCHES the ball down field. He didn’t complete any, but I think there were 3 PI’s called on them. Big Marbles!

 

[lilesrt]

Well I'm not the doom and gloom individual. IF Tennessee loses to Georgia the worse case scenario to me is, Tennessee doesn't host a playoff game plays on road instead.

Worst case scenario would be losing to Vanderbilt as well.

Wait, we aren’t supposed to be rooting for other teams’ players to be injured?

Dead on here

Now you're cheering for players to die?! @Orange was right it's gone too far

Honestly if Nico can’t go for whatever reason next week I’ll take that. A completion or PI is a win either way.

Dabo, Beamer, & Drink walk into a bar. I punch all three in the neck.

Sounds like a law firm.

He throws a pretty dang good ball, too.

[tyonthefly93]

Also, let’s remember that kickers are people, too. Max Gilbert got his groove back.

 

[Rizzo924]

Thank you Lord

I wouldn’t expect him to say he’s out.

 

[UpstateVol613]

 

[Orange.]

Yes, if he's out permanently. No, if he returns. They'll consider the fact important players were out for a game.

Glad they didn't keep us out of the Sugar Bowl because Tony Robinson was out for the season.

Are they considering that our only loss was with our OTs injuried? (rhetorical)

 

[rjd970]

Quick everyone over analyze this.

Was his hand in his pocket, or carrying something? Shoulder? Clavicle?

What does the towel mean? Facial injury?

Why the sandals, could be nerve damage radiating to extremities?

He didn’t acknowledge the camera, concussion more severe than thought?


…in all seriousness, whatever it is hope he gets better and plays next week.

With a 51 yarder. Could be a FG type game next week.

 

[Orange.]

....
Not sure why you're dying on this hill based on what I said. None of it negates the point I was making.

Idk who or what is dying on a hill repeatedly, but I think I know why.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Thank you Lord

Josh playing chess versus checkers is how I see it.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Our score vs Miss St was basically the same as Tex.

 

[Orange.]

Just heard commentator say UT UGA was an elimination game. If they lose they’re 7-3. If we lose we’re 8-2. Not the same.

Yeah, they were acting like Bama could get in with 3 losses, too. It's, you know, what McGill says.

 

[VolGee4]

Yet people have agreed with why Bama gets the benefit of the doubt, it’s ridiculous.

At least he ain't gun shy. I certainly wasn't disappointed

The towel is an indicator. After a concussion brights lights are the last thing you need/want.
