Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Enki_Amenra]

Are yall prepped for the Duke's Mayo Classic?

I hope Heupel doesn't let them dump mayo on him

Btw tennessee @ -8 now

If their QB just had a bad game, that is one thing. However, it was a bad game vs bad competition. Our secondary is not going to be world beaters, but if our pass rush is as effective as we think it can be and we put a ton of pressure on their QB....the WCU game may look really good in comparison for him.

ShUdA GoTn PReGs At 19

Should we all congratulate her on the SEKS??

 

[25vol]

Anybody wanna bet on how badly this guy regrets these words?
Our offense averaged under 19.5 seconds per play last weekend. That was the first game with a multitude of 2nd, 3rd and 4th stringers playing. I think our offense this year makes the ‘22 squad look slow. Nico’s processing speed and his command of this offense = we goin’ fast boys.

 

[screenthis]

I mean his name is Connor after all. Most thuggish name I can think of.

Weed, 40 ozs, strippers. Typical Connor...

Wait just a second. What's wrong with those things? How are they 'thuggish'? Conner is sounding like a fun dude.

Is Cade Mays really not gonna get picked up by anyone?

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

So stoked about Thornton..they say Joe had problems throwing middle of field, and DT struggled in slot..all makes sense now. Fast 6-5 217 nightmare for opponents.

That dime across the middle to DT, and Brazzel.

That one to Brazzell had NFL scouts like

 

[CABVOL]

We cant even grab a quick snack or drink without missing a play..lol..Brutal.

Exactly. I had to run to the bathroom Saturday at change of possession bc I couldn’t hold my water any longer. Two passes later, we were in the end zone. I yelled out to my wife, “Did they seriously just score that quickly?!”

CJH don’t give two f’s about us old men and our enlarged prostates!

If you're going to give Miami, Kentucky, and Iowa bumps like that, Oregon 100% deserves to be dropped out of the top 10.

Where did he have them the week before? He had them #1.

He did drop them. Out of top 10 would be an overreaction for a true believer though.

 

[Devo182]

Great example of two things…
1. AP voters are clueless and way over react (we dropped 2 spots and Miami went from unranked to #7 by beating a unranked bad UF team)
2. Pre-Season polls are stupid (he has FSU #3 pre-season).

We didn't drop lol. We rose in his ballot. This isn't the AP poll fwiw, just his ballot.

 

[Devo182]

USC @ #13
OU @ #15

160 voting point bump. Heupel respect.

Once we play a P5 and whip NC St I'm thinking top-12...borderline top 10 with some help.

Quickly arisin'

 

[SmokinBob]

I'm glad the players love the uniforms...but I'm sorry, it's kinda embarrassing how gimmicky we have gotten with the unis.

You got
Grey's
Black
Orange and white
Orange on orange
Storm stroopers
White with orange pants
The orange helmets still exist so you got orange helmets with all white/white and orange pants.

Like...we are TN...we don't need EIGHT different uni combinations. Cringe.

I like ‘em…

 

[Devo182]

Georgia Tech at #23 well deserved...

For beating...FSU?

 

[Devo182]

Laughable. Clearly didn’t watch the film of our game. There aren’t close to 13 teams better than us.

Arkansas, Miss St, and Auburn would like a word amongst the top 13 rankings in that case.

Let's be real, nobody gives af what you do vs FCS opps as long as you don't lose. Otherwise UK would be #1 every season through week 4

 

[Devo182]

Ok gamblers, why did Vegas put the spread so low in our game against State? Appears to have climbed to over a TD, but didn't it start just above a field goal?

Last week changed perceptions of state.

It wasn't considered low prior. Still think they overestimated how quickly an offense of transfers could jelly.

 

[Devo182]

No AD is going to pursue Deion unless they need publicity.

FSU and UF would be nuts not to, unless they can't get Kiffin.

Instant top 5 classes every year out of Florida. At this point Florida is ready to gamble. FSU...they would just be dumb AF to fire Norvell after 1 bad year. As dumb as UF firing Mullen. Zero patience.

 

[Devo182]

Wait just a second. What's wrong with those things? How are they 'thuggish'? Conner is sounding like a fun dude.

Oh the thuggish ruggish life is fun as hell while it lasts

 

[knoxvol52]

For beating...FSU?

You're right. Probably should've put Vanderbilt in at #24 after defeating Virginia Tech.

 

[headhunter15]

Heupel and Nico are going to run them out of Charlotte.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Holy crap, have yall seen the video of the dude that got pulled over in Texas and the cop blocked his driveway?
It has bad language in it, so pass on it if that offends you

 

[Adam Sandler]

@Enki_Amenra

Line is already moving up, but jumped on the first quarter, half, and final spreads on DK.

Bet the house

 

[Devo182]

Heupel and Nico are going to run them out of Charlotte.

Uh oh. They've already lost.

 

[franklinpence]

Confused about this timeline. Baby in winter of 2025. Pregnant=9 months. 9 months from today is June. I guess she means this winter. Super pregnant and in your first season of Lady Vols coach...is something.

When do you think winter begins and ends? And do you think they just conceived the child and immediately announced on social media?

Edit: Sorry. Seeing this has been thoroughly discussed. Didn’t intend to pile on.

 

[rocktopper16]

Heupel and Nico are going to run them out of Charlotte.

The caveat to teams doing that is Heupel slowing it down to throw them off.
