Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ten_Titans]

I believe that academic people want UT to be good at sports but that's not their main focus. I don't live in Tennessee, haven't for 25 years but I'm a huge fan of the Big Orange, so I don't have a dog in this hunt.
It appears UT is gonna keep trotting out this brand of football because the fan base has always continued to support it no matter how bad it is. That's not gonna change until the fan base unites and says "enough is enough". If you want their attention, figure out a way to empty the stadium on game day. There's power in numbers people. Stay away from the stadium. They'll get the message.

The TV contracts make it that much more difficult. It would be very difficult to make UT football non profitable at this point.

A great SEC football team is outstanding for boosting admission. Unfortunately, I don't know if the administration truly believes the juice is worth the squeeze on that front.

Personally, I would never support a boycott of UT football on the grounds of poor performance. The social justice cult stuff is different story.

If people really enjoy watching the team play and they don't really care deep down if they are any good, I'm not going to chastise them for it. It is your time and your money.

UT fans are like Cubs fans. I mean that as a compliment and as an insult. That loyalty makes it very difficult for the administration not to cut corners just because they can.

My advice would be to watch or not watch based on an honest assessment of how you value or own time and energy. That is the reason I won't be here if Pruitt is back next season. We will suck regardless, but I don't feel the need to watch a team I know will be poorly coached, fronted by an administration that knows he is a bad coach. But if I'm not watching, I'm not thinking about how that affects UT at all. Out of sight out of mind really.

Given that Maine Lobster and Alaskan crabs are cold water creatures, it’s not surprising that you couldn’t get them fresh in a small town on the Gulf of Mexico.

Blue crabs and Caribbean lobster?

That's what #EmptyNeyland is all about along with #StopDonating. It's worked before, it will work again.

rock shrimp

 

[Tennessee Stud]

The thing I remember is people being afraid he was going to leave us.

It’s just an echo chamber in here. At whatever point in time we are, most form their opinions based off what the majority are saying. Different opinions aren’t welcome.

 

[BigSteve09]

If your son were a 4 or 5 star player, and you had no allegiance to the school, would you want them to come to Tennessee right now?

 

[LA Vol]

with exception of loose lips. if what you say holds true, then why release it.

we cant hear what isnt spoken, tree...woods.

Release what? UT isn't going to comment on fabrications or feed into media speculation. They're going to keep doing what they're doing.

 

[Rishvol]

rock shrimp

Rock lobster imo

Exactly. Which was my point earlier. If they were coming due to the bag man, that just ended. So are they coming for the great coaching? Nope. There are too many better programs where they can receive better coaching. Which says - fire Jeremy, hire the best available today.

Can't blame them, it's worked SO well so far....

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Not true. A lot of folks, especially on this site, were drinking the cool aid and saying Pruitt should be coach of the year. Of course none of you sheep will admit it, but it happened.

Lol. You are out of your mind.

For the record I think Wanya Morris is president, VP, and treasurer of the super wieney club.

With that said, this is the situation: We just had a 5 star tackle STARTER transfer because he didn't feel like he could meet his potential here.

That ain't a good look.

Even me. I don't know HT. But I did meet him once. I really want him to come back. But damn. Like, how could I blame him if he doesn't? It would be a travesty if that kid got coaching that was so awful he somehow didn't wind up in the NFL.

Anything new?

You ever order blue crab “legs”? As for Caribbean lobster, they don’t sell that there either. Try fried oysters. They have those.

The damage was done months ago. We're just watching it play out now. Slow plays are the worst.

Anything new?

Plowman just released a statement via my UT email: "We don't work weekends around here lmao. The **** y'all think this is a company? See y'all on Monday. Maybe".

Sounds like there won't be any news this weekend.

Losing?

 

[Bigworm87]

Lol. You are out of your mind.

Funny that he "knows" that, but only became a member Jan 1, 2021. Averaging like 35 post a day. id say his days are numbered here if he keeps his little trolling game up.

released that there was an investigation. period.

Florida and LSU has investigations recently. no one knew until it concluded.

Can someone interpret milf I mean parent? What is she talking about?

What is your best guess as to who is the head football coach at the University of Tennessee?

 

[Orange Studs]

Anything new?

Yes. Great story on Malnati playing in the PGA tourney in Hawaii. They talked about him living in Knoxville and training at the facilities at the UT campus. Playing well right now.

So there you are---- so what happened in the time that you assured folks Pruitt was gone to now that he isn't?
