Some of y’all need therapy. And a glass of whiskey. Toughen up, buttercups.

I like you. I like your enthusiasm, but you can’t be pleased with the trajectory of this program.

Your optimism is a good thing and you should hold onto that. But it’s okay for people to be upset, as expected when we’re losing. Our team repeatedly sucks... over and over again

I want the weak to fall out like chaffe and go into the THC edibles business with Catbone and other sissy hippy UGA trolls.

He misses trolling us so much.

The quality of posting in here has dropped to FF levels. It's just plain sad.

These are good points. But they wouldn’t do that here. They would be in our offense with Weinke coaching them. They wouldn’t be that good. Besides, they’d both be on the bench behind Jg

If you’re done? Prove it! Quit driving by the cemetery.

Hahahah and 956 yards total all season passing yards I can’t make this up

I’m not thrilled but I’m also not gonna give in to the trope of we just utterly suck. I really appreciated JacketVol’s lengthy post from earlier(at least I think it was him). Yes, we’re disappointing this season but there are good reasons for that along with the coaching staff missteps and poor QB play, which we know all too well. There are things that I’ve seen that have given me enough hope that it’s still salvageable and Pruitt hasn’t lost me completely but he’s got a canyon to make up instead of a gap. BUT, if we cannot feasibly grab someone that literally would be a copy & paste fix, we need to let the man do his best. This year to me is a wash for nearly all the conference outside of Alabama. We all know that.

Im not done. Never will be. Just want a good team and what we have ain’t cutting it.

Franks...Dime.

I agree that people should be upset. Hell, I’m upset. Very upset. I’m only 31 and it’s been a MINUTE since I’ve seen us impose our will and scare other teams. It’s been quite painful but I refuse to throw in the towel. I’ve been diehard for way too long. In the meantime, the basketball team is a UNIT

Then it wasn’t directed at you. It was for the “program is dead and always will be.” crowd.

 

[Orange Studs]

couple vists goin on...look for us to pounce on the new transfer rule.

Haven't heard anything about recruits visiting. Can you say who?

 

[butchna]

It doesn’t sound like RECRUITS. Active or opted out QBs? And recruits have been visiting “on their own dime.”

 

[KB5252]

Looking around the landscape of qb's we passed on or didn't show interest having great games it doesn't inspire confidence in our current staff. No matter how you look at it they have handled it poorly. Either they learn and adapt or they don't.

 

[tn88volfan]

i bet Kendal Briles would have taken a pay cut

I just think Pruitt and Phil are too stubborn for their own good. We haven’t improved in one area form last year. In fact I’d say 99% of our players have regressed. Covid isn’t an excuse and Pruitt uses it left and right. No reason to not have 1 of 4 QBs ready to play even decent football. Every other team dealt with covid and plenty of them have improved. I just don’t have much faith in Pruitt anymore. His assistant turnover rate is insane. Insiders have said he’s hard to work with. Only thing he has really done is given us some young talent and IF he holds this current class together that will be a positive but he’s not shown he can do anything with the talent we do have. Next year we will still have no pass rush and our defense is not great under all these “elite” defensive minds. There isn’t much to be positive about regarding our football program. The only thing to cling to is hope that our young players actually play well and he keeps this class together.

In all deference to AV, I have reviewed all of the highlights and film available that I could find on our current commitments. In total they look no different than what the staff have recruited previously. I cannot speak to their mental make-up, just what I saw athletically. In fact, the last class of players looks better to me than this one in all but a handful of cases. Maybe he has hopes for Salter and DT type QB's.

Will see how it goes, but I am not buying any more hype or happy BS. Prove it up on the field by developing the players you have.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

What percentage of y’all would take a voluntary pay cut

I did this year, so that my staff still got paid...

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I think you're referring to my tennis elbow. Yes, I have resumed golfing twice a week with relatively minor pain in my forearm and biceps. It was just a matter of building my muscles back up again, which gets harder when you're over 70. Thanks for asking.

Now we are starting a new covid lockdown on Monday, including golf, in NM. More sitting around and getting soft.

Hope you're doing OK with whatever it is you're dealing with.

Thanks.
Take a vacation in Texas. All the golf courses are open.
