Recruiting Football Talk VIII

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.”

It is the absolute best. I left my phone there once about 20ish years ago and every time I go in to this day, dude still asks me if I got my phone

Anyone gone to a game in Athens? How was it?

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

This will all be settled when we smoke some of these teams in the playoffs

This. Just let us in. I'm sure no SEC team fears having to go to Indiana to win a playoff game. Or Penn State. We would smoke both those teams. Along with every other SEC team in contention.

 

[drvenner]

No more deep fried cat and rat meat

That went over like a ton of bricks

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Buffalo with the comeback OT win. Down 45-31 w/ 7mins left to play.

 

[drvenner]

They’re the people that keep Long John Silver’s in business.

Hey!! I like Long John Silver's

Hey!! I like Long John Silver's

Prices went North and Product went South imo.

 

[drvenner]

I hear ya. I will believe it when I see it. Struggled to get a consistent push all year. They had some nice puling plays versus MSU, the one off tackle to left comes to mind.

But that was nearly all Sampson, sans the nice block from... the TE.

When Lewis and Seldon are in. They dont seem to possess the vision, or dynamic abilities as Dylan.

That's why I think we have to dial up some plays. The frenetic, find something that works then move back to two yards. Tempo, then no tempo is helter skelter.

The play calling, is getting better.

Would love to see some first downs, but stick to run game until mid 35+.

Hope we can run an RPO, or roll Nico out. Use those big bodied receivers on a slant. we've hit on it more than once.

But the changing away from something that is working has to stop. I think we're thinking too much. Three FG's aint gonna cut it.

It will when we also score 5 touchdowns

Can someone please tell me how this ****-show is somehow an improvement over BCS? I didn’t like the BCS at times (mostly because of how unforgiving it could be) but it would be better than this. All this playoff crap is just a way for the elite schools to have someone in the room helping ensure that their thumbs can be on the scales to give them the best outcomes.

Tell me how it’s fair for the Michigan AD (A cheating ass school is the chair of the CFP in case you didn’t know) give Indiana a quality win over MICHIGAN and have them jump us? That seems like a conflict of interest??

Ha, that's great phrasing. Same with Applebee's, mcdonald's, Buffalo wild wings, TGI Fridays. It's amazing how that happens when they let finance people take over the company.

"hey we can make a ton more money if we raise the price and lower the quality. I'm so smart!"

Not trying to start world war 3 in here or anything but this is the Utah Jazz’s arena WiFi

Only problem with bcs was 2 teams. If they'd upped it to 4 or 8 and kept everything else the same, it would have been perfect.

My thoughts exactly! At least the BCS was less subjective than this popularity contest we seem to have now.

 

[Dooby15]

Anyone gone to a game in Athens? How was it?

Went in 22. Sat 4 rows up behind our players. We were ranked #1 and the atmosphere was pretty intense. Fans were okay. Stadium is meh.

Georgia obviously will be playing with their hair on fire this week, but we should be as well with the disrespect that keeps getting handed to us. Especially our defense, no one mentions them.

 

[jordan4vols]

You would think he of all people would know with his contacts. I’ve gone back and forth but I think he plays.

 

[MattR11]

We are laughing... Not really. Just go win. We must be undeniable.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yea. Did I mention that Tennessee was going to kick Georgia @$$ this Saturday while others are doom and gloom?

OMGosh I hope so...if we don't the powers that be are going to screw us over.

I hate the SEC, but I hate all these other conferences with their soft azz teams that we would beat the total out of that are going to make the playoffs over us even more.

We simply have to win...no matter who the QB is.


I really hope you are right...because objectively I don't see it happening at Athens...I think we take em on a neutral field or at home.

 

[DD4ME]

Truth

 

[TrippieRedd]

We are laughing... Not really. Just go win. We must be undeniable.

The offense struggling is definitely true. I believe we are toward the bottom PPG in the conference.

Winning by 10 against a bad Oklahoma team
Losing to a bad Arkansas team
Winning by 6 against a bad Florida team
Winning by 10 against a bad UK team

We haven’t dominated the teams we are suppose to.

Put it all to rest by beating UGA. Simple as that.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I would sacrifice @Weezer 's left arm for the Vols to drop a 28pt 1st qtr on the dogs and beat them by about 40.

What about Weezers Left Testicle.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The offense struggling is definitely true.

Winning by 10 against a bad Oklahoma team
Losing to a bad Arkansas team
Winning by 6 against a bad Florida team
Beating a bad UK team by 10

We haven’t dominated anybody good.

Put it all to rest by beating UGA. Simple as that.

Our defense sure as hell dominated EVERY F'N TEAM ON OUR SCHEDULE.

Come on man we are 8-1...if not for a Jordan Ross brain fart we would be 9-0.

 

[knoxvol52]

Well looks like SEC basketball is going to tough again this year.

Alabama
Auburn
Mississippi
Kentucky

All look like really good teams.

Florida I thought was going to be really good but the coaches issue will affect their play imo.


Or Effect every which word is politically correct.

Oh goodness forgot all about Arkansas with Calipari as HC, they should be decent team as well.

 

[MattR11]

#7....I used to think that media wasn't biased against UT, but I really think they are now in several ways. I just do not understand how that is the case.

We bring eyes on whatever we do, which is money. Our games have high ratings, we are in the SEC, have a likeable head coach, had been down for sooo long but it doesn't matter.

Why are we hated so much? I mean I can think of some things that have pissed the media off but good grief. We had a bad loss to Arkansas. We haven't looked great at times, but we have freaking won! Other teams have had bad losses too or haven't beaten anyone!

All those things were true last week when you ranked them below Tennessee. Id have probably agreed with keeping them all the same even if last week they were above Tennessee. But clearly on field performance thus week didn't correspond with the movement.

They did it only so if we lose to Georgia (who moved down a ton) they can justify leaving us out, and keeping others in. The committee doesn't hold each team to the same standard, and chooses whatever bs excuse they can think of to make their reasoning seem fair and ignore anything that doesn't support their agenda. Horse

Hope our players feel disrespected and use it as motivation this weekend. Just win...
