Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Orange.]

No, Heather Dinich is closer to being the Committees mouthpiece. Elliott is just a blowhard.

I can't tell if Dinich really is the committee mouthpiece, which would mean the committee is violating it's own policy of silence. Or if she is constantly claiming "the committee thinks this," and "the committee is concerned about that" without the committee speaking, which means that ESPN is being dishonest, or that she is conning ESPN, too. And ESPN is selling her columns on an extra subscriber fee only basis. That makes them money and perhaps creates the impression among some people that they are buying illicit secret info. Maybe she asks leading questions that align with her rooting interest and gets vague off-the-record replies that she spins the way she wants.The whole thing is really kinda weird imo. She's prolly a nice enough person.

Keys to the game (no particular order):
-D keeps playing the way it has all season
-limit the offensive penalties
-nico is healthy and plays
-run the ball effectively

Special teams were really good on Saturday. Hoping it continues and is another key to the game. Boo Carter looked like he could be a really good return man

Way to go, @nicksjuzunk!

 

[jordan4vols]

He’s trying hard but having been beat down by AM and Bama there’s no shot for them.

This gotta be Will Levis in ginger disguise.

 

[Orange.]

Drinky is such a dork. I hope he doesn't offer his younger underage daughter to the committee. Or hop and hump one of the male committee members like he does his assistant coach.

Tua just intentionally throwing his head into an oncoming LBs knee.

I need one of these. Now!

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Wonder who will be Guest Picker on College GameDay this upcoming Saturday?

Herschel Walker?
Chipper Jones












Maybe
DEREK DOOLEY

My guess is Luke Bryan or Jason Aldean

It's weird. And ESPN is selling her columns on an extra subscriber fee only basis.

She is. Last year, she had her article ready pretty quickly explaining why they picked Bama over FSU. Pretty sure she’s in Texas when they at least make their final rankings.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

So not Missouri. Got it.

Thank goodness the press isn’t in the college football playoff committee room. We were 8th last week and I think we will be 7th tomorrow night. Probably can’t jump to 6 and take PSU spot. SMU probably takes Miami’s spot.

The GOAT

The GOAT.

I was on first name basis with that place. If I didn’t go for a couple weeks they’d be like, “ Oh Mr. [name] where you been? Gone so long we thought you die.”

Dinich is the Joe Lunardi of College Football. She has a connection somewhere on the inside of the Committees room.

Choo choo!

 

[SugarCC]

Yes! You're the man! Scrappy, never-give-up Vols. Shuler and Co. beat "unstoppable" Zaier and Garrison Hearst. I was a wee lad. F Georgia. We used to own these bishes. We can do it again.

I was 15.

It's only been in these last 10 years, out of our entire histories (265 years combined), that UGA has really been able to say they've owned us. Time for that script to flip again, as well.

Good heavens,

Deion Sanders betting odds to be next Dallas Cowboys HC

@butchna tell me it's not so!!!

[stifles laughter, puts on his best concerned face] I know, right?

 

[Orange.]

Considering only what we know, this is the biggest game of the season. Would you consider it bigger than the SEC title game or a playoff game? According to some, if we don't win here, we don't make the playoffs or the SECCG.

You know what I say every week. The present game is the biggest game. Periot.

 

[peaygolf]

It’s Georgia week.

Remember… they want our water from the Tennessee River.

Not one drop

I haven't been there since I moved down here to South Carolina twelve years ago. My parents still live in Knoxville and still go quite frequently and says that place hasn't changed a bit.

 

[Orange.]

She is. Last year, she had her article ready pretty quickly explaining why they picked Bama over FSU. Pretty sure she’s in Texas when they at least make their final rankings.

But did she report on what they were thinking regularly for weeks before their decision like she is doing now?

Dinich is the Joe Lunardi of College Football. She has a connection somewhere on the inside of the Committees room.

And the committee is okay with that? DW would seal the leak. That's what has me perplexed. Like I said, she seems like a nice enough person; it's nothing personal.
