Recruiting Football Talk VIII

yeah, he was willing to die on the hill that UF was a top 25 team going into the season.....hard for me to follow his thought process

He leans hard in sensationalism to keep relevance.

But...the Trojans weren't the ones in the Trojan Horse...

Great point!

Balderdash, I want Nico to have full Polynesian tribal war paint.

For Polynesians that would technically be a face tattoo not war paint, although there’s some evidence that native Americans made contact with Polynesians, it might be a stretch for Nico to pull from that side. Let’s stick to eye black unless Nico decides he really does need a full permanent face tat.

Gonna take this.

OK I'll admit I'm list on betting these days. I had a bookie when I lived in Memphis and it was simple. Either give the points or take the points and if you lose, you pay the bet and the juice.

When I look at the above I'm lost..

Exactly. Spread and Over/ Under , the rest is mumbling to me.

Saw this posted elsewhere. Makes a lot of sense. We’re not there yet, but the talent gap is closing.

I love this offense…. Heup learned it from Baylor and added his changes to it… Ole Miss, Miss State, TCU, South Florida and probably a few others run variations of it. The tempo was suggested by Danny White to enhance the offense and to go with his marketing of UCFast…. We are definitely trending toward a championship…. This is such an exciting time to be a Vol!

I’m just picking who I think will win

For anyone that doesn’t know Cubelic (who is one of the best in this sport imo) gives a weekly brief breakdown of what he saw from each SEC team. Here’s what he said about the vols

I watched a couple of different film studies post game and one highlighted the effort our WRs were giving on blocks. Every WR out there was blocking like Bru. The guy doing the breakdown said it was insane - you just don’t see WRs do that a lot.

Also, the RB play Mizzou used to beat the snot out of us is now in our playbook.

Alcohol will never go out of style. It's been with us for literally thousands of years.

Not saying it will ever disappear, but similar to smoking tobacco, also ancient, it's out of favor compared to when the beer barrel was around. Just sayin. Attitudes shift

 

[knoxvol52]

Don't think the Rankings come out today due to FSU playing tonight.

 

[UTProf]

Danny White is really attentive to fan opinions and what they want. Have him start working on getting the Beer Barrel back. Because this is now just hypocritical bull****.

Bring back for both football and basketball. Cats are in favor of this too. It never should’ve been a permanent removal.

Enjoy! Have had our 3 grandkids here all weekend. Old man is about worn out.

Two things I noticed about the game….

1. Our guys seemed to give max effort the entire game.

2. Our speed looked elite…. so remember when Hooker played…. Georgias speed on defense looked on an entirely other level…. We are catching up… Its great to be a Tennessee Vol!!!

 

[Devo182]

As someone who sits in the student section…. this is incorrect… Drinking is definitely not out of fad with the youngsters.

Talking statistics. Not anecdotes.

This has been trending for some years now. Along with NA drinks and bars, big industry now itself.

Same here the 4 year old boy wears me out. The other 2 just do their own thing.

Gen Z doesn’t drink much. They came of age during a pandemic and have no money. I read an article about what they do for fun compared to other generations and in short they don’t have fun. Their parents track their cells, surveillance is everywhere and even pizza costs a fortune. It’s actually sad.

And, I bet they see themselves as the smartest people in the room...USC, L.A., California and all. Read a book, dumbsh!ts...or, in this case, an epic poem.

Cole Cubelic did breakdowns of all the teams.

pretty cool story about Madden

What blows my mind about Madden is how forward thinking he was on video games. He saw them as way to teach Xs and Os and when EA wanted to do 7 on 7 because of the tech he said no. Back then no one had any idea the gaming industry would become bigger than Hollywood.

ya hate to see it

Imagine being 1 game into the season and FPI already predicting you to go 4-8

Dear lawd, go gatas!
