Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Lane’s right about scheduling and just beating bad teams… saying you could schedule 20 easy teams and beat all 20, wouldn’t mean much, etc.
I’ve thought Tennessee knew their assignment well with our out of conference schedule this year and next.

I can easily see 10-2 again next year, and maybe 11-1 if Alabama is the train wreck I suspect they might become.

Happy Thursday! May we all find time to give thanka to the one who provides.

November 28, 2024: Stay strong and refuse to be distracted from what you know to be right and true. Never lose your focus on spiritual truth. Maintain peace and harmony. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:9-10 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
 
If we make a deep playoff run, Sampson could set the all-time SEC record for rushing touchdowns in a season. If he gets 2 or more Saturday he'll go into the playoffs in sole possession of 3rd all time.

How much fun would it be if he got the record this Saturday. Imagine the amount of media attention that would garner. And not just 1-2 yards for the scores. Over and over from outside the red zone. Would the media hype the team that destroyed the same vanderbilt team that took texas down to the wire and also that same vanderbilt team that beat the tide?

Don’t really care about the media hype but they would have to talk about a 6 + TD performance. I want Tennessee to score a touchdown with every possession. 10 possessions? 11,12,13,14 doesn’t matter.

Make a statement that the media, the SEC, and the playoff committee cannot ignore.
This game cements our playoff participation, but also helps to determine our seeding.

It Is Time! Leave no doubt. Don’t take out the starters until absolute destruction of any remaining hope for vandy is gone.

Have the players chant Cafego after each play. Make every play worthy of him!

14-2 or 13-2 🤠

I am not sure anymore, just win the eff out!
 
All of that is correct, but my main wish is to see Bama excluded -- as they deserve to be. I think most of the talk about the "3 loss teams" is really just propaganda for Bama. They would get socially promoted, as usual. The other teams 3-loss teams are going to be ignored when the rubber meets the road.

I hate it because I can't even root for all the upsets that would be so fun this weekend. The net result -- and really the whole reason for the "narrative" or propaganda is to keep Bama out. I want Bama out.

Everyone remembers that everyone was dissing us and filling the air waves with "concerns" when we "only" scored 25 and beat Okie by 10. Bama lost to the same team 24-3. And only scored 3 f---ing points. And instead of the "concerns" the subject changed immediately and completely to things being "unfair to three loss teams [that is, Bama]." We will not get in as a 3-loss team. No one will make so much as a peep on our behalf. So F all the 3-loss SEC teams.

And Bama lost to Vandy too. The day Bama lost to Vandy, Feinblabber (and thus the SEC Network) immediately started a fake panic declaring "the SEC is in trouble." That's how he spells "Bama is in trouble." F Bama. Watch the playoffs on TV, bishes.

I hear people here of all places saying "if we don't beat Vandy, we don't deserve the playoffs." Fine. Bama didn't beat Vandy.
The narrative is all geared at setting up excuses for the Bammers to get in, lovers and haters they draw big and tv wants them. Getting killed by OU wasn’t in the script, Can’t control everything.
 
I’m wondering how active Tennessee will be in the transfer portal this year. I’m guessing we sign four players from the portal. A guard, a defensive tackle, a linebacker, and a safety. Thoughts?

Starting RB, like our RBs but we don’t have a guy like Sampson. Need an older guy in that room.
