Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[UTK]

That 17 year old from Bama gonna be a problem for 3 years though not gonna lie

 

[UTK]

I think we’re 4. I’m more curious as to who they put at 1. Considering Bama just knocked off 2.

Bama/TX 1&2
OSU #3
Vols #4

I would put Bama as 1 if I was a voter but Texas also didn’t do anything to lose it. So who knows

 

[UTK]

College GameDay will be at the Miami vs California next weekend.

Is that real life?

 

[knoxvol52]

Is that real life?

Yes.

 

[UTK]

Yes.

How bad is next weeks slate exactly lol I know our game woulda got it probably if Arkansas won

 

[Midas]

Good game but some people on Twitter saying it was the best game of all time must of started watching college football this year.

Probably UGA fans. This game was nowhere near our game with Bama in 2022 and idk if that’s the best game ever either. Our game was back and forth the whole 2nd half and got stupid crazy the second half of the 4th.

Yeah I can think of 10 or so games off the top of my head that top it instantly

Yeah probably more honestly. Out of curiosity though which games you got as your top 10 all time?

There’s probably a couple biased ones in here but I think the hold their own for the general public too. Also note I’ve only watched since 2006ish so I’m not gonna retroactively pick any games before I started watching. I’ll put my biased UT ones first. Just off top of my head and not fully thought out or in any order. I’d have to really think to put together a legit list lol

1. UT vs Bama 2022
2. UT vs UGA 2016
3. Texas A&M 2018. The one that went into a million OTs.
4. Boise State vs Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl
5. USC Penn State 2017 rose bowl
6. Iron Bowl 2013 aka Kick Six game
7. LSU vs Bama 2022
8. UGA vs Oklahoma in the Rose bowl a few years back, unfortunately UGA won the game was a classic.
9. FSU vs Auburn natty in 13/14 One of the better natties I’ve seen.
10. Texas Tech vs Texas 2008. Still remember that Crabtree catch clear as day.

Yeah I could name more but I’ll stop there for now lol

Been getting reports around about the devastation. Banner Elk, parts of Boone no longer exist. Section of 26 over Noli - gone.

Area ive fished for 30 years at Radio Tower in Erwin is decimated.

We were going to Hot Springs for our Anniversary Monday. A City I worked in 90's, may be absolutely ruined. I'm sure Hot Springs resort doesnt exist.

Spring Creek Tavern. A place my children, myself and wife have frequented for years

Went for a ride on Tweetsie today. An absolute war zone. 20-30 trees in a 4 mile stretch overturned.

I am praying for everyone. Im not sure people quite understand the level of devastation yet.

The bridge over Nolichucky, on the Interstate is gone! I hope that no one lost their life, but I fear the worst. Many cannot make contact with loved ones.

Horrific damage in North Carolina.

#1
Texas/USC Rose Bowl for National Championship

41-38
1200 yds of total offense...almost 500 of which, came from a single player.

If I'm guessing the next AP poll, Texas stays #1. Bama jumps to #2. Ohio State is #3 and we are #4. Depending on what they do tonight, Oregon could jump to #5. Would not surprise me if Georgia only dropped to #6. Miami at #7.

I can see a case for AP voters jumping Bama to #1 based off of this win. At the same time, Texas did nothing to lose #1. However it shakes out, I think those will be #1 and #2. Ohio State will be #3, and we will be #4.

We just need to keep winning, one game at a time. Win the whole damn thing.

I am thinking we stay at 5 because of Georgia comeback. I hope I'm wrong and we move up.

 

[JCVol00]

I still think we need to have a safety help McCoy cover Williams, as well as have our de’s play contain and use our lb’s in run support and to spy milroe

 

[NighthawkVol]

Was Tennessee ever involved with Solomon Thomas? He’s the #1 ranked IOL in America. We just lost Douglas Utu and need a replacement. He’s committed to Florida State. Florida State is a dumpster fire. Seems like it would make sense to kick the tires here.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

But post OU I point that out and someone got mad at me for worrying. Milroe isnt a good passer, but his legs are lethal.

So after watching the UGA game you still think Milroe isn’t a good passer? lol. Is that a joke?

I wonder since they lost Utu if they just don’t go into the portal for a IOL.

He's not if you keep him in the pocket. His legs are the problem. Inaccurate passes all day in the second half.

That's BVS talking. UGA lost. AP voters will drop them below us. Who knows what happens in the coaches' poll. Coaches' poll shouldn't even count since most of those ballots are not filled out by the coaches anyway. They're pawned off onto assistants to fill out so coaches can focus on things that really matter.

 

[Jack Burton]

This weeks poll doesn’t really matter. You can make a case for UGA to be ahead of the Vols. They did make a pretty nice comeback and had a chance to win. It wasn’t as bad as that first half lead us to believe.

The playoff poll is what will really matter and just beating Arkansas Saturday.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Tennessee opens -13.5 at Arkansas (per FanDuel).

I heard that John Travolta was rushed to the ER this morning. Turns out that everything is fine, though. It was just a Saturday Night Fever.
