Except every single one of your posts is in this thread....

I'm sure you're a sweet lady, and Missouri is happy to have you donate. But why are you in a recruiting thread for the football team to "play nice" on the womens b-ball side?

You heard Nick. It was the smell of leather and mahogany emanating from our forum--softly lit by the glow of a multitude of giant Apple 4K UltraFine monitors.

I know they can't play in Bowl. I thought they could practice with team though. Just asking Geeeez

Not sure if you ever got an answer but I think they changed that rule so they can't practice with the team. Also, that was only early enrollees. Some sign now early but are not early enrollees.

Well that is a difference just signing and being enrolled. But looks like it doesn't matter since they can't practice anyway. Would have been nice but maybe at last they that enroll can start with the S&C and watch practice which still will help.

Man I didn't realize how good the state of TN HS talent pool was until I looked up some player rankings.

We could close with as many as 9 of this year's class...I think 6 or 7 is more realistic, but that's a good haul of in-state talent. And if the state keeps producing a dozen or so 5/4 stars and we're landing the majority of them old Pruitt could be rolling with local talent mostly. I'd love to see 50% of the class being TN kids, think it just means more to them and the fanbase if they pick UT.

After watching the interviews after Missouri with Pruitt and JG and seeing the guys excited again it’s fun. It’s so much fun watching Tennessee football again. The way Pruitt is never satisfied but loves the players is fantastic. Those guys truly know he cares about them and no matter how bad of ass ripping he gives them they go right back out on the field and play their asses off for him. Win these next two games and keep rolling right into a DOGFIGHT in Norman next year. Momentum is gonna keep building and we are gonna kick some serious ass next year. Guys are now finally playing with a chip on their shoulders. They know what it takes to win. Our defense next year could be lights out. DB, DT and NW have been fantastic and hopefully the other guys strive to be better then them. Warrior and Bituli are fricking machines this year.
I gotta temper expectations for myself next year but Dammitt man, if we beat OK .........
Gotta focus on the Sec though, one step at a time

I get it. Pinkel was a good coach and they get invited to join the "big bad SEC". The East is at an all time low, Mizzou capitalizes, they get comfy, start thinking, "well they're not so bad at all". And that's just how it's gonna be.

Then things start to feel a little off. A little different maybe, not looking quite the way they were.
Start to notice a few cracks in that misguided world you built.
I understand and not even mad. But hold on...because it's about to get a little bumpy. And I'm afraid none of this is what you thought it was, much less signed up for.

I cant get over how much of a dump that stadium is. Every time we play there it still surprises me. Rocks and a berm in your open endzone is MAC tier weak.

One of my Missouri buddies has been talking **** for a year, and I unloaded on him after the game.

I told him the M was cute, too bad Tennessee had to close in their end zones like 100 years ago because people actually come to our games and we needed the seats.

I also said it’s a smart move by Bryant to go to Missouri. They have excellent tutors and he’ll have plenty of time to train for the NFL combine with no bowl to worry about.

It’s very obvious this team loves fighting for Pruitt. While there might be some issues for Pruitt to grow into the job one thing that isn’t a worry is how the players regard him.
