Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Volbucky]

My German Shepherd has hip dysplasia. We give her Novox and Gabapentin. Do you think this would be better?

I’m no vet, and my only experience with it was with her. But it without a doubt helped her. She was slipping away quickly and when we started giving it to her it boosted her for several weeks. Her cancer was a huge tumor on her stomach so it kept her from having an appetite. But the cbd oil helped her with the appetite and discomfort.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Boycott the damn thing!

Do whatever you need to do to keep Fulmer from retaining Pruitt.

The fan base has suffered enough.

Thanks!

I’m sure the twelve people that show up will be convincing.

Spread it to every UT fan you know in the general area. Better than doing nothing

Fulmer’s release was a standard generic statement.
It was not an endorsement for Jurmy.

It wasn’t an endorsement but he certainly didn’t have to mention him by name. That was on purpose.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Just feels like we're a huge joke. Aren't there people in power that ever get tired of that? Do we have to make headlines in every way possible except for winning football games?

 

[johnfnkelly]

I am curious to see how Pruitt does without JG, I cannot lie

Our Oline sucks, 0 pass rush, ILB’s can’t cover a slant to save their lives, safeties are slow, corners are lost seemingly every other play.. i could go on. JG is awful, but he’s far from being the problem.

The problem is Pruitt.

 

[johnfnkelly]

UT football is like that childhood friend who went down the wrong path, and no matter what you do to help, they’re too stubborn to fix their issues. Eventually you just have to let it go.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

This is so stupid and the folks in charge should be ashamed of themselves for even tempting their fans to go down this road again. I won't be participating but I cant say I blame them. And I won't be surprised if they are louder than some of y'all expect.

 

[Smokey123]

Pruitts returning. We woulda already fired him. We’re screwed. Wow.

 

[Dudleys87]

I bet you take a cbd gummie and walk around drunk seeming. Not a personal attack, just seems like you.

Not a personal attack but a personal attack, I get it now.

My last 2 huskies had this and I gave them Glyoflex 2 and it did wonders for them.

 

[Smokey123]

Florida fired Mac in year 3 after just 7 games after winning 2 SEC East titles. This is why Tennessee is a laughing stock and will never be good again

 

[Smokey123]

Tennessee woulda gave Muschamp and Mac lifetime contracts

 

[Volwark]

What did DP say today ?

I missed it

To summarize:

- as of right now, Pruitt will be back. Unless the investigation takes a significant turn for the worse. Also if you fire Pruitt, a lot of players leave.

- contrary to what people believe, UT wants to win at the highest level, but the answer is not as simple as the fans think. Because:

- no homerun coach wants to come here (Campbell and Peterson would be asked and say "no"). Gus would be an option. Chadwell, Napier might still be there in the future if Pruitt goes another year. Freeze is not an option because his record isn't that great, so the powers-that-be don't think he would be worth the NCAA risk. And that the SEC would not approve the hire anyways. Boyd, Fulmer, and some big boosters are very much against Freeze.

That's what he says, not me. So don't shoot the messenger.

Everyone relax....
Let this all play out....
Bunch of folks getting together tomorrow pre/post game.

Where is that happening? I make some awesome jalepeno poppers I can bring. Maybe some chili? You like chili, AV? What time should I show up?

And not only that, but Fulmer doesn't like Freeze at all because Fulmer feels that Freeze tanked his recruitment of Michael Oher, and allowed schools like LSU and Arkansas in more because they wanted to "play the game" better. Basically, Freeze was dirty even at a high school level, and Fulmer knows it.

Per Brice, Fulmer is scheduled to receive a six figure retention bonus on 12-31. Beginning to believe he won’t receive it.

Pretty sure Pruitt gets one too. I think it's $200,000? Plus, technically, Pruitt gets another $200,000 since we "made" a bowl.

Pruitt’s is scheduled for January.

Both are gone. Writing is on the wall after reading Butchna’s post

People have been waiting patiently for over a decade for Tennessee to put out a good product. There’s no relaxing, man.

 

[SmokeMSJ]

We have the dumbest big boosters in the history of college football.
I mean seriously... it’s not even close.
They’re a walking 12 year calamity.
They have destroyed this football program.
They make Auburn boosters look like nuclear scientists.
It’s a ******* embarrassment to this fanbase.
I’d rather have Turkey Man, or Steve from Lexington make the hire... at least I know they give a damn.
Hey Atlanta Vol, when they meet tomorrow night...
Text them my post, and tell them I said to, “kiss my a**.”

 

[TNHopeful505]

See, now that Fulmer has "planted his stake" that Pruitt will be back, the only way it comes down (in my opinion) is that some evidence will have to be found that relieves Jeremy of his duties. Because obviously if at this point, Fulmer comes out and says he will be back, after knowing our record, then there's no way to backtrack on that. "Well, I know what I said the day after we finished 3-7, but today, I've changed my mind, and that's not acceptable."

Fulmer basically just said, "now you have to go over me, and good luck doing that without a decent look." So, I'm guessing that unless the "evidence" is super damning (which DP has alluded to it not being, and AV has alluded to it potentially being damaging), Pruitt will be back.

This was a bold move by Fulmer, and I view it as a "Okay, now your move."

And I'm not sure he is going to like what comes from that. It sounds like there's some pretty bad dirt on him this year. Fulmer may have just burned our program to the ground, starting with his own self.
