Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Checker_the_Shire]

I’d bet a large sum of money we won’t go 0-4. Other teams go through things too. Bad shooting nights, bad defensive nights, other team gets hot, whistle doesn’t go your way, bounces don’t go your way, etc

Not saying we will, nor do I think we will, but I am saying I can easily see us going 0-4 with the way we’ve played on the road.

This implies the location of the game is what "exposes" a defense.

Didn't get exposed. We just didn't play good defense on the road.

Not necessarily just means it isn’t traveling atm. Postseason play doesn’t take place inside of TBA. It still has to get better

Well judging by our next 4 games, they better respond quick. That’s a gauntlet that I could easily seeing going 0-4.

3-1

Our defense has been exposed on the road. It’s overrated gotta get better before march, but you’ve got plenty of time…

We held Illinois to 64, held Louisville to 55. We didn’t lose to UF because of defense. We literally shot like 27%.

This game was different, but the key is that Vandy doesn’t turn it over. They’ve done that all year.

Auburn will eat our lunch.
Should at least split UK and UF
ST will be a win.
2-2.... We land a 3 seed

Hell of a comeback.

Will serve us well in March.

Have to play better middle 40 mins and we can.

Postseason also isn't on the opponent's campus. We've played great at neutral sites early in the season.

Playing on the road when you're top dog is hard. Yes, we need to fix our communication on defense when we are playing away. Auburn will be more hostile next Saturday. It's nothing that's unfixable.

 

[VolGee4]

The fact that people are talking seeding with 13+ games left is funny. Way too many games left.

 

[Jackcrevol]

depth is a real concern. Lanier good, not great.

Blame that on LUNARDI ..

 

[SoilVol]

Brutal way to lose after the comeback but this is not a game to overreact about. Clear heads and get back into proper form at home against Miss State. They punked us in the SEC tournament last year and Hubbard v Ziegler will be an A+ matchup.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

3-1

I’m thinking 2-2.

 

[volsagain]

It’s not like they were 5-15 or something. Unless they fall apart Vandy is a tourney team

Yeah you got to give them credit. They played hard nosed defense the whole game. There pretty good But we should have beat them. We'll get them next time count on it.

Who has Heupel replaced in 5 years?

The ones that left by choice

 

[Bollweevil]

Cashier at the quick stop said college GameDay is trying to find a better game to do next Saturday.

 

[Govolsman98]

I’m thinking 2-2.

Definitely could see it

 

[JCVol00]

We just arent a great team like last year, I dont see us making it past the sweet 16, if even making it there, with this roster

Oh please

This loss doesn't mean squat.

This season the SEC is maybe tougher than any college basketball conference has ever been.

We are fine. Vandy is just really good.

Recruiting hasnt been great. Its been good.

I remember when Tony V lost to Grand Canyon a couple of years ago. Our season and program were over. Oops.

 

[JCVol00]

Every year we have a player that we use as a crutch, and if thst player has an off night or is off the court, we struggle mightily. Last year it was knecht, this year is ZZ

 

[GVol1966]

Who said fan opinion should carry clout with the coaches? I clearly said the coaches will do what they do. It's what they get paid for. But some of you get offended when opinions are expressed that the coaches made wrong decisions. This is a fan message board where we state our opinions. I don't expect the coaches are reading VN to see what our opinions are. But FFS, people need to stop getting offended any time an opinion is expressed that disagrees with the coaches. It's okay to have those opinions and in no way damages the program.

@JacketVol - I'm always fun.

Don’t they work at a State University that’s partially funded by taxpayers?

If so then I’d say they work for the fans

well, write a strongly worded email, fahr him. and lets move on

 

[Bollweevil]

Where's the beef?
