Recruiting Football Talk VIII

In case anyone doubts the garbage path we drew. We will potentially need to defeat every team with 500 or better odds to win it all. That might be the single most impressive accomplishment in the history of playoff.

Just win.


They absolutely screwed us, and actually they screwed OU and OSU also...this bracket makes zero sense.

This just feels impossible 😖

If we can somehow miraculously pull this off...it would have to be considered one of the greatest feats in College Football history. Has anybody in any season ever beat 4 of the top 5-6 teams in a row? (That is assuming UGA and Texas also win until they would play us in this scenario)
 
Lol how great would it be if we picked him up. Piss on mizzou
iirc, the other teams in on him were Okie, Vols, and UGA. But he has now played Dinky Wick for money both in high school and as a freshman, and is now bolting on him at the first chance. He also showed up for a high school game in Okie gear less than a week after he committed to Mizzou (or Mizzou's check).

Re-assert your Caribbean vibe, my friend, if you are so inclined. Nothing we can do about the bracket. We'll just have to bring our A-game (which no one has seen yet, but it's coming if we're going to peak at the right time) and play ball. Vols against the world! 🍊 LFG!

Somebody has to be the talent-laden, home-field, night-game opponent we finally go off on! Why not Ohio State?

It just seems impossible..but..if we can just somehow someway get by OSU in Columbus, I think the boys will absolutely be on fire and brimming with confidence and momentum...and it would be really hard for anybody in our way to extinguish that fire on neutral fields.

Sports history.

In all fairness, anyone who isn't leaving Mizzou after a year with Dorkwitz, those are the people we need to question because something is obviously wrong with them. Same applies to Slingblade Beamer.

We still need to win a Rose Bowl 🤷‍♂️
 

Hahahaha.

So ridiculous from the inept NCAA.

Yeah, Oregon with a $10MM NIL thats less than half some SEC schools just signed this week:

#1 WR in country 5*
#2 WR in country 5*

#1 Corner in US. 5*
#3 Corner in US. 5*

Those are just 4 guys in their overwhelmingly #1 recruiting class funded directly by Phil Knight who signs off on every NIL contract according to an article I read this week. He is 86yo and says he wants a title before he dies...and hes willing to pay whatever to get it. The same article bragged about fact that Oregon could offer recruits "significantly more money than other schools in NIL."

That figure for UT is ridiculously low also. I have heard repeatedly in various interviews (including the VQ guys) that the bigtime SEC programs are wanting to get an agreement in place with a salary cap of $20-22MM per year for player rosters. That NCAA nonsense estimate says UT is spending about half that. I bet that UT is in the $20MM range just like Bama, UGA, Barn, Texas, aTm etc etc.

The NCAA is so clueless and feckless at this point. Just a bunch of bumbling boobs. The SEC has its own issues though...1st and foremost being that we have perhaps THE worst officials on the field of any conference in FBS.

Edit: also, aTm bragged about having a $30MM roster under Jimbo when they landed their best class including the big DT from Tennessee...that now plays for Ole Miss.
 
I never like MG


Favre's response is magnificent. He successfully says all the most beautiful things, and (almost) manages to leave the complete remainder in silence. Socrates' model for a speech of praise. It's unfortunate that ESPN has bullied Favre into feeling that he needs to say anything in his own defense. Since when is it a QB's responsibility to allow himself to be sacked?

ESPN is trashy for exploiting Gastineau's pain to sell commercials and win some cheap attention.

Gastineau doesn't look well. He sounds like a jilted lover in the midst of a breakdown. And standing where he is, in the midst of Packers helmets (perhaps Favre memorabilia) he seems to have essentially forced Favre (by the rules of common decently) to walk to him and greet him or to obviously and shamefully avoid him. Gastineau should probably get some counseling.

In case someone is not on X and wants to read Favre's response, I assembled it here: Thread by @BrettFavre on Thread Reader App

ESPN should at least have enough decency not to try to take credit for requiring Favre's response.

and its going to get done. They can only say and do so much to these players before this it lights a fire under these players. They know they are disrespected and now they need to go take it.
 

Bravo! Wow, if the basketVols can maintain that #1 position through our football playoff game at Columbus -- and given that our baseVols won the CWS earlier this year -- the combination will make a thunderous statement that Tennessee is back. Perhaps better than ever! It should definitely get attention in the biggest CFP game of the week in prime time. And if the LVs are still undefeated? Whew. Lagniappe.
