Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JP_UT_O&W]

Win out and erase any doubt that we belong in the CFP.

Alabama is a good win, but the rest of our schedule sucked and we lost to a mediocre Arkansas team.

Can’t fault Indiana and BYU, who’ve won all their games.

We’re obviously a stronger team, but they have proven themselves in every game.

Ratings vs rankings do matter…But you have to give teams that win all their games their just due.

Now I do think we should be ranked on par with Texas and Penn st.

PSU’s loss is better but they have no good wins.
Texas’ loss is better, but they have no good wins. Though they did beat Oklahoma and Florida worse than us.

Some stuff will get settled by the end of the year, but unfortunately there’s always going to be someone feeling like they got left out. And they will probably have good reasons.

Just win

I hate that it took this long to learn about "Gas Pipe"

Still waiting to see Okpara shine. You see glimpses.

I saw what I wanted to see from him when he swatted a floater in the lane back to half court tonight!

The BCS never used the computers exclusively. It was a combo of human polls and computers. A good balance of human and robot. I think that model would have worked well for us by the end of this season.

Of course, we know that.

The response was to computers of the past being right.

Maybe so, maybe not, but they'd suck for us in this moment. 50/50 split with the current committee would have us ~10th.

I get he's attempting a compliment, but serious "Real football" vibes going. "Old school" smh CRB has definitely modernized his offense. Chaz is just one example of keeping this going beyond Knecht. We aren't going backwards to mid-60 ppg seasons.

Guess Coach Kim is SOL with him

He’ll hopefully be a grad assistant next year and then the QB Coach and we can keep using the nickname for years

Gaston gonna turn the Gas On this weekend! Gas-pipe is the coolest nickname I’ve heard for a TN player in while rofl

 

[DD4ME]

Agree. Drop pipebombs

 

[mrMet]

only watched the exhibition, bits and pieces of GW, and part of todays game. Guess I was wrong, thought of him as more of a guy to create his own shot.

I stand by that so far i've not seen him attacking like I thought.

Beaten a ranked team yet?

A 7-3 Tx Tech would be, except CO just beat them.

Sometimes ya get punished just for winning haha.

But aside, there are playoff teams without as much as a ranked win. And we're comparing them with a team just hoping to make a bowl game after having a 1-win season 2 years ago.

Don't think anyone is setting # of ranked wins as a metric for a team just hoping to make a bowl lol. Look at Dooley-early Butch era UT...and we're the damn Vols, not hot trash U.

Just trying to be objective, he's done well, regardless of his tomfoolery and douche methods.

 

[DD4ME]

Wild story and good on him.

 

[DD4ME]

Lanier and this guy..

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I hope he stays long enough to get the record. 3 years should do it. Would be nice to add a couple Natty's to it.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Wild story and good on him.

Give everything to get him to transfer here next season, but I’d say he wants to stay on the west if possible.

Wish nothing but the best for the kid.
