Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Ashevolle]

Tim Tebow and Cam whew


This is an elite ass list bros.

Does this only include regular season or post-season as well?

JP poll has down at 11. Those offensive performances dragging us down on these models.

For sure.

Analytically, we shouldn't be as high as we are in the AP/Coaches poll. Our close games signal future struggles, if not losses. Just getting past the lot of UF in OT, Bama, UK was quite nice. Luckily humans look at W-L much more than W-L margins, however incorrectly, it gives us time to correct ourselves. And with a young QB, we can genuinely hope it comes to fruition. Now the vet WRs need to get their shiz together. New week, new problems

I wonder how the committee will craft the narrative. Will they say Vols are in but any additional loss will bump them out? I just wonder if they will plant those types of narrative seeds to excuse their later moves.

...We shouldn't be that far behind....

Thanks to Josh Heupel, this historical inaccuracy shall be corrected in due course

Now I am surprised because this involves numbers. Sampson is on pace to finish 16 games at 19 x 2.

McEver only played 10 games in 1929.

I am going to imagine total season.

UGA will seal our fate. At minimum we need to fight them tooth and nail like Bama and UGA.
If we have our typical performance with a large loss and then go get into a slugfest with Vandy we likely will be on the outside looking in.

I have confidence, but all roads lead through Athens for the Vols.

From what I remember, they only interview on important weekly topics...teams getting left out...race for the top spot, etc.

We should be very under the radar for now. Don't see any talking about us either direction. Maybe next week ahead of UGA though.

Anyone see Knecht to the Hawks trade rumors?

This is the year to get them. They're as bad as they've been in at least 5 years, maybe more.

Anyone see Knecht to the Hawks trade rumors?

No, say it ain't so. Love him on my lakers.

It’s going to be hard for Beck to move the ball against our defense. If Lagway doesn’t go out then Florida wins that game. I’m looking ahead, but we’re fans and are able to do that.

they should have all their RB's back which will be a challenge.

Good, has a chance to be starter and he is on a likeable team

 

[volinbama256]

Anyone see Knecht to the Hawks trade rumors?

why would they do that? Hawks passed on him in the draft... why would the Lakers want to trade? Did you mean trade Brawny?

 

[Orange.]

btw, @jave36, in answer to your question from the other day, yes, Kentucky #4 (somersault boy) did come back in to play. In fact, I see he made Dylan Sampson's abbreviated highlight reel (#68,729) twice. Watch him in motion at the link.

No

 

[Ace]

Everyone worried about rankings. There is a lot of football left to be played. My suggestion: Sit back and enjoy our team and season. Our defense keeps us in every game. Offense has been improving. Lots of variables ahead, but one thing is not variable - we have a dominate defensive line and that wins championships.

 

[vols 30]

Anyone see Knecht to the Hawks trade rumors?

Yep. Trae Young possibly to the Lakers.

I was floored to read Young was scheduled to make $ 43 million next year.

I know he's good, but 43 Million good?

 

[MarcoVol]

What was the turning point of momentum in that game?

Momentum changes all the time in CFB games. Please see our first half play vs 2nd half play.

Baseball games are 9 innings. Team with momentum through 4 doesn’t mean squat.

Hope they make an example out of Kentucky to keep UGA from thinking about it.

Not Ben! I hate that.

Would you guys rather have beaten Kentucky 28-18 or 48-38?

48-18

Just give me one of those missed TD's and one of the 3 missed field goals and I'll give them our 1st 20+ point surrendered.

38-25
