Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[pierce60]

Tomorrow is about weathering the storm (literally and figuratively). Play sound football in the rain.

Also, you can’t win this type of game in the 1st quarter, but you can lose it. Withstand UGA’s first surge of energy and I think they get nervous while Tennessee gains confidence.

I actually like "Van Hagar" better than Van Halen. I know. Blasphemous! But Eddie was the glue. Top 5 guitarist of all time.

Don't know about that, but he was definitely a top shelf guitarist.

He's a little upset....

If you're talking about the Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, they don't play there anymore. Opened a new Ballpark this year right next to the old one. Is there another Arlington park somewhere?

I’m not sure...whichever park the LA-SD series was played in.

Imo, grade of slaw, y’all.....
Georgia will play tight because they’re so caught up in their own “awesomeness” that they can’t stomach the embarrassment of the idea that an “inferior” Tennessee team could beat them. I say our boys are laser focused and come in like controlled chaos. Ears pinned back and intelligently aggressive & attacking on defense... Hulked up and pissed the eff off & physical on offense. LFG. WGWTFA!!!!!

And again, maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not buying Bennett as their third Heisman candidate this year. He is not good. I mean, you give him all day long to throw and yeah he can make some plays. But he isn't going to have all day to throw. We are going to blitz him early and often and make him beat us.

I could be very wrong, but I don't see GA lining up and running it at will against us. I think we are better on offense, and though they are better on defense, their QB not being good helps us here. We have a chance. It's going to be a close game.

If they get any rushing yards it’s going to be by getting outside of our DBs. We haven’t allowed anyone to run up the gut on us. As for passing, Bennett is about to get a rude awakening to a real Jeremy Pruitt defensive blitzing scheme. Plus I don’t think anyone realizes but with Bennett having to roll out that plays right into the way Deandre Johnson rushes the QB. Johnson runs the horseshoe and if Bennett doesn’t step up into the pocket (which he can’t btw because he is too short) he is going to get dusted.

I just realized Stetson Bennett would be 4TH STRING right now if UGA kept Newman and Daniels was healthy... he sure is getting a lot of hype... I hope he plays like a 4th string QB tomorrow

This year...

I just found out about my good friend and fishing buddy lost his battle with cancer yesterday. Loved his family, friends, and The Vols. One of the greatest people ever. He was a respiratory therapist at the hospital where I worked. We worked together in the ER for years. He pushed around his computer and cart with a bucket of candy. You see working in an ER can beat you up. You see tragedy non-stop. You get treated terrible. It makes you question life choices. Tim would see that in your face, walk over and put his arm around you and say “you know this is just temporary buddy”. He would then hand you piece of candy and say “I’m proud of you”. He would call me on Veterans Day just to say thanks. We fished together often. Really going to miss my friend.

He graduated from UT. Huge Vol fan. Had a million Alabama jokes.

He actually ran for governor once .

Worked in medical tents on pit row at Daytona every year.

He had two degrees one in chemistry. He made the best “juice”. Couple of drinks and those Alabama jokes were hilarious.

Not asking for sympathy. I feel bad for the world losing a great kind soul. Asking everyone to raise a glass to Tim tonight. VOL FOR LIFE

Absolutely!

Could Daniels come in if he is atrocious?

If he does they are in trouble.

The absolute best board scrolling before our game tomorrow will be either the OU or Texas board. Good lord it's going to get heated.

Either Texas is 2-2 in year 4 under Herman (0 Big 12 titles) or OU is 1-3 in year 4 under Riley (he ultimately and easily gets a pass for winning the conference 3 straight years).

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Biggest thing that intrigued me here is just “the measuring stick”

We want to be back in the fight for the East and thus should let us know if we are in the fight or just on top of the KY, SC, Mizzou, Vandy tier

Let the debate

 

[Devo182]

Maybe

My son’s birthday party is tomorrow. Your boy will be trying to hold it in the road and avoid the score till I can watch late night

Don't forget UT/Pruitt possibly 4-0 before "Third Saturday in October"

Brice has been struggling since he left VQ. Hope this works out for him.

Brice is one of the best as far as program connections. Really hate him & Barton fell out after the Haney article.

I didn't know that's why he left. Thanks

 

[901LookAlive]

Brice got big time mad. You could tell Butch cut his access off or something after that article. Plus Brice said he had no idea about the article or that it was set to drop.

 

[Aesius]

Yeah. He left VQ for 247 and then got fired/quit right? VQ has had an opening a few times since then but I guess that bridge is long since burned.

I actually like "Van Hagar" better than Van Halen. I know. Blasphemous! But Eddie was the glue. Top 5 guitarist of all time.

I feel the opposite, I like the DLR years more. I got the first 2 of the Van Hagar albums, but my favorite albums are their early stuff like Van Halen, Van Halen ll, Women and Children First, 1984 ect. My favorite is Fair Warning which is considered the guitar album and their darkest album. Van Hagar just got to commercial to me.

It's now been over 10 years since we had 13 men on the field in Baton Rouge. That's INSANE to me. Still seems like yesterday.

13?? I remember at least 15 but it might be the PTSD
