Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Enki_Amenra]

Yep. If this were at home or even neutral site, I'd be guaranteeing a Tennessee win. We're definitely the better team on paper, but we're just so freaking bad on the road.

We lost by 7 to the #2 in the country in a must win game. I don't think we're as bad on the road as people make us out to be.

 

[jakez4ut]

of course a night game

Well... Is there any real doubt about that game being THE marquis matchup? Kinda no brainer territory...

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Ryan day used "moving forward" the same way Harris used "dreams and aspirations".

Say it enough to believe it.

He needs to be unburdened by what has been.

i ****ing despise this format

It feels good if you're playing. It sucks if you're not, or if you're sitting in the stands.

That first ice cold tackle wakes every fiber of your body up. It’s a nice feeling. I loved playoff weather… 4th quarter feels much better when your body temperature is cooler

 

[jakez4ut]

No, he doesn't... It needs to weigh very heavy....

 

[TrippieRedd]

Would be so cool to play Oregon.

I remember when we came together and taunted Florida

It’s still hard for me to fathom that the Committee just basically ignored Notre Dame’s historic loss to NII. I know that in a 12-team field, losses like that will be forgiven more often, but it really shouldn’t be.

If you lose on your home field to a bottom feeder from the MAC where you were favorited by 35-40, you shouldn’t get a mulligan.

 

[Visidog]

Yep same. Hate injuries. Want to beat everyone at their strongest

I appreciate that, and I’m hearing what yall are hearing.

Yeah the format sucks. But that game is a great match up.

Seeding it straight up we should be playing IU in Knoxville.

But it's not... So we play where we play.

 

[Go Fight Win]

So #1 baseball #1 basketball and a good a chance as anyone to be #1 football

Correct me if I am wrong but lady Vols look like a top 10 team, 2 seed


It sure is nice to be kings & queens my friends. Go Vols

your body doesnt work nearly as hard to stay cool. I always thought it felt good in the cold weather. The only thing that sucked was breathing in the cold air.

We looked far worse than we do at home is my point. We don't play well on the road. The gap in our road vs home performance is massive.

 

[Go Fight Win]

I appreciate that, and I’m hearing what yall are hearing.

Sorry to hear it. That backup yall have is going to be a stud. Tough time to break him in though

 

[jordan4vols]

Other than Oregon, they didn't allow more than 17 points to anyone all year. Couple that with how bad we are on the road, and we will definitely not score a lot of points. Take the under in this game whatever it is.

Now list the teams they held to those point totals:

Northwestern
Purdue
Nebraska
Iowa
Marshall
WMU
Akron
Mich St
Penn St
Michigan

The only one that would have had a chance to score more than 17 to us on that list is Penn St.

Not exactly a murderers row of offenses.

That can be said for basically everyone. It's hard to play on the road in the SEC

I wonder if Heupel will want to conduct some evening practices to better simulate a cold evening.

 

[jave36]

Captain obvious.

 

[jave36]

I wonder if Heupel will want to conduct some evening to better simulate a cold evening.

I hope they take the team to Columbus a week early. Not just for the weather, just to have everyone there and in routine for multiple days. Do something different at least.

 

[Jackcrevol]

i've always been told your body works over time in cold. multiply that by 3 if in teens, wet, and in high altitude. in fact in that scenario, it's over.

likely this and early morning

 

[BigSteve09]

Morons. This whole 'we're not gonna schedule hard ooc games then'argument holds no water. Nobody got held out because of losing an ooc game.

Miami, Bama, USCe and Ole miss all lost conf games... So quit whining.

If anything it will hurt them worse because they won't have a big win to lean on (like UGA v Clemson) if they drop 2+ conf games

 

[JCP201]

It would be great to go to the Rose Bowl.

Thanks man.
