Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[tnvols72]

Really hope the DL play last two weeks is an anomaly. Watching this Ole Miss game their line gave UGA fits.

I am starting to wonder if our D is getting worn down. They have carried this team since the 3rd week and been on the field a lot.

Boo Carter is a beast.

Can't be. We don't play freshman.

This is what I need from the new voice of the Vols but it can’t be Mike keith

 

[Jackcrevol]

Cannot be overstated how many PI calls were missed in Saturday's game. Even think a horsecollar was missed on play OOB.

I am prepping myself mentally for Gaston Moore controversy after he beats UGA's ass.

You should do a duet with @drvenner , maybe get Andy to produce it.

It can be Mike Keith, that way you won't have to listen to him at the Titans. I'm surprised they haven't traded him off to another team for a waterboy.

It just seems like "Who you beat" is more important than "Who you lost to." There's so many examples of this.

Notre Dame losing to NIU yet still in the drivers seat to enter the playoff.
Bama because they beat Georgia and LSU yet lost to VANDY and Vols.
Indiana is undefeated in the Big10 but only now being respected for it. And already talk that if they have 1 loss they're out unless they beat OSU because they'd have no quality wins.

While I agree with this.. It gets messy if Tennessee, UGA and Bama are all sitting there at 10-2, all having beaten the other. So then you have to go to common opponents and losses, and I think that's where Arkansas really hurts. And vandy hurts Bama... It will be in the eye of the beholder... Strangely enough, if we can beat vandy handily, that may be a difference maker in some people's eyes when comparing Bama and Tennessee... DESPITE HAVING ALREADY BEATEN THEM TOO.

So get ready... It's gonna get a little sporty for several sec teams, us included. I'm sure Ole miss feels like they deserve to get in too.

Are we really expected to take this guy seriously when he doesn't even realize that the correct expression is "Grade of Slaw".

Brooks Austin UGA's beat writer lamenting their line play. They apparently had some Dooleyesque oline recruiting in 2022 and 2023.



Our D line will need to bring the A game and show up pissed off and hungry.

Not for us with just one loss and an SEC title.

Well, I did say if we all were 10-2...

 

[SoilVol]

Beating Vandy would help our case over Bama, but even in that triad I think it STILL comes to who you beat rather than lost.

Unfortunately, Bama has the LSU win in Death Valley and Georgia the Texas win in Austin. Vols should've had the OU win but they're garbage.

We need to beat Georgia

Bro.. Indiana?..3 spots…HOOOW!? Penn st 2!?? show me the strength of schedule and who they’ve played

 

[knoxvol52]

@knoxvol52 , I know your Cowboys are injury-ridden, but still, my Eagles destroyed your 'Boys, today. So, Fly Eagles, Fly

Cowboys season was over 3 weeks ago. It happens bro.

Although congratulations on victory, take out the Commanders this week, I probably hate those guys more than the Eagles but not by much.

Indiana is undefeated. PSU just waxed Washington. It’s really not that difficult.

Looks like his head whipped into the ground a little bit.

Yea that’s what I was referring to…at first i assumed it was his shoulder he took a pretty good shot there

They.have.played.nooooboooody undefeated or not…very hypocritical if you think back to a year ago regarding FSU..they were undefeated and didn’t make it to the playoffs…but now everyone is getting the push by 2 and 3 spots?…come on

Big Ten early on looks like they played expansion well. Brought in mediocre programs to add to their deep slate of mediocre programs so they don’t eat themselves alive. Meanwhile the SEC is the NFL in miniature.

Even if only 1-2 SEC teams make it to the playoff (unlikely), those teams would cut through the field like a hot knife through butter.
