Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[mr.checkerboards]

People don’t bet on NBA?

No, I'm saying numbers are at record highs because sports gambling is being legalized all across the US.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Also unrelated... was looking at some mock drafts to see if Ewers was even on the radar.

Some folks are projecting the Titans at 7 to snag Jeanty...

In 2024, in the big three men’s sports, Tennessee fans witnessed only 5 home losses. Two in basketball and three in baseball.

You are ridiculous finding a way to complain about being in the playoffs. Winning the CWS. And being #1 in basketball.

All I'm saying is I believe there should be a clear cut difference between teams playing for a championship and the rest of the field.
There isn't. I don't think that's a good thing.

So after seeing that cringeworthy interaction Gastineau had with Brett Favre I looked it up...he's behind TJ Watt and Michael Strahan any plans to meet TJ and complain about one of his sacks next?

Also...I hope he plays a full 15 years cause TJ Watt is the only active player with a real shot at Smith/White

Gastineau had to have been wasted. If he is like that all the time, it's time for the rubber room and the gerry chair.

Weren’t these ACC officials?

Yes. And today they would throw the flag on Fant for pulling. Ugh!

 

[rikberry31]

@Ulysees E. McGill​

How could it be a bad thing?

For entertainment purposes it is most definitely a good thing

 

[TrippieRedd]

Bama gonna have Williams and KC next year.

That’ll be tough.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Yeah as long as we can win the LOS on both sides I think we'll win.

Need to be able to run the ball effectively and need to be able to generate heat with 4 upfront. Hit a few of the big long passes when they are there and it turns into a blowout

I think we will find it difficult to run CONSISTENTLY. This game is going to depend on Nico’s arm and receivers catching passes. Special teams will also be a big part of this game. Should be a good one!!

Bama gonna have Williams and KC next year.

That’ll be tough.

Besides the 1st game against Western Carolina, he didn't have a game where he had more than 53 yards.

For most. They don't care.

For me I see a bad product and get bored watching.

Although I don’t really agree, I’m picking up what you’re putting down

You don't have to, but at least someone understands my position.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I hope there is not...I wanna beat these arrogant fools so bad I can taste it...

Winning this game would be GLORIOUS!!!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Dear friends, I know many of you are annoyed by my animal puns and jokes,












but please bear with me.

Oh deer...

 

[mykidturnedmeintoaVOL]

Is POTS going to be in stadium?

Yes, but only the pep band. Since UT got such a small allotment of tickets, they couldn’t take the full band.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I would prefer not going off on them beforehand, too, but it is so much fun for fans to talk there's no stopping it. Plus, it's not the team. I would bet half the time our fans are just responding to provocations and trash talk from the SuckNut fans.

A lot of this goes to the CFP committee with their stupid 3000-ticket limit for visiting teams. There was no freaking way they were going to let us host with a lopsided rule like that in place.

OMG...it was not fans saying crap that I was talking about...it was Andre Turrentine running his mouth saying that stuff about ours and other SEC crowds being louder and rowdier than OSUs....you are out in left field on this convo lol.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I do realize that. And yes, obviously a mild crowd is better, but I will reiterate, I’m ready for is to not care how hostile the environment is. Ready for us (the team) to have the attitude that coach stated a few days ago. Anyone, anywhere, anytime. Put the ball down.

Sounds good when he said that...it's just the doing it that is the question.

I still say AT should keep his mouth shut and not rile up their crowd...our offense has really freaked out and bed the last couple of years when it has gotten loid and rowdy on the road.

As soon as we quit doing that, I will say let er rip boys....until then, don't give them a big reason to do what they usually don't.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Shockingly I'm with McGill on this topic. Best not to give OSU any bulletin board material. Let those clowns mouth off all they want, Tennessee's reply should be with their play on the field..

..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And I wonder if the coaches complaining are willing to forego raises when they’re offered. Or take a pay cut to show that the pay to players is out of control. Or be on board for a regulating body to implement a salary cap for coaching staffs.

Are you really so gung ho obtuse that you can't see the bad in this?

Rabid.

 

[DD4ME]

Tickets are still dropping....

225 now

I didn't realize Fickell was also on that SuckNut team we beat in the Citrus Bowl back in the day.
