Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Revived2002]

Alabama is an actual joke of a State (right behind dead last in Mississippi maybe) so they have to cheat I'm sports to make themselves feel better.

My aunt lived in Huntsville for a time.

She advised me, if you ever go to Alabama, don't make fun of their football team.... it's all they have

 

[Christian Lowe]

What?

 

[LA Vol]

UT teams psych themselves out against Bama, even when we're the better team. Stats get in the players' heads, things go a little south, Bama gets the calls, then... "here we go." We've seen it in every sport.

 

[ACvol3]

What?

UT has a target on its back

 

[Revived2002]

Guys - I need to expand my repertoire of Alabama jokes.

How about we spend the evening telling each other the best ones we've heard?

Go!

Also being 0-6 the last 6 tournament games. They're seen this before

Especially when it comes to baSECma

Total hose job. Hope it motivates us.

Don't believe it was overturned. It was the initial call. Even the ex-UT player/commentator agreed that it is a poor rule, but correctly applied as it exists.

Hate it for the players, they were already celebrating. Feels like the Dooley LSU game all over again. Ugh. But we have many, many games left. This team will use it as motivation

Don't defend the utter horseshit please. It's a joke.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

What?

Saying we don’t get any favoritism

It's a terrible stat... but it only has meaning if you let it. The performance of other teams don't predict the performance of this one... unless the players let it get in their head and make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. With a little help from an absurd call that probably hammered it home a little harder.

That and their sister/wives.

You think we respond to it or fold? Tbh we have shown we can respond

 

[Jackcrevol]

wait whoa whoa whoa .... wait. TN....got, hosed by refs...versus Alabama?!?! Wait...in SEC tourney, in Alabama???
the obvious coddling of Alabama's junk by SEC is sickening.

But @Christian Lowe was hoping that TV was trashing UT

 

[LA Vol]

I would've bet this team would have responded today. This Bama team is way down the food chain. And UT normally has the confidence to deal with adversity and come back. Better mad than sad.

 

[Catbone]

If we lose vs Miss St are we at risk of losing hosting super regionals? At this point that's the biggest thing

 

[Rishvol]

No

 

[LoudOrange]

I don't think anger for motivation translates to baseball the way it does with other sports.

 

[Catbone]

No

Ok good

 

[SpringBokVol]

Wow. Tough but shot of a loss.

 

[Maxwell865]

It was confirmed today they offered the texas tech coach 1.35 million dollars. He declined.

Tony is next on the list

The Texas Tech coach has taken them to CWS in 4 of the last 6 non COVID years. Tony V won’t get the same offer. Saying that, I do think it’ll be around 1 mil so we will have to give him a raise regardless.

 

[Weezer]

Why would he call Coach Fulmer, "Lefty?"

Little known fact, Phil Fulmer lost his right testicle in a tragic fishing accident. And that, boys and girls, is why you always need to watch out for those fish hooks when casting.

TMI!

The only way to best what happen against Bama is to drum them where they don't even have a chance. Not even with the umps. If its close the umps seem to always shine and make it about them.
