Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Please be in prayer for our 16-month-old son. His pediatrician believes he has been having seizures and has referred him to a pediatric neurologist. He goes on Friday. Regardless of the diagnosis, I trust in God’s will above my own.

All the prayers for this beautiful young man

Gray's power improved. He went down at touch as a Fr but was better last year. His pass pro wasn't as bad IMO as many of you are making out. He was a significant loss. Chandler seems like a good guy and would have been good depth and leadership but he was getting passed. Maybe injuries or something else but he got worse IMO over the last two years. He didn't seem nimble. He never had elite power.

His pass pro was AWFUL. He would literally jump out of the way on occasion

Missing some good stuff with Freeman mic’d up!

You ain't never been backed up until you have been backed up by MRE cheese.

flirted with Navy OCS in '08. When LT told me me to pack swim trunks and running shoes for a weekend with Marine Gunny Sgt., **** got real. Honestly at 30, was too damn old.

Respects to anyone who has served. And eaten that garbage.

John Brice on Swain Event just said UTAD and Tony Vitello are in a “Mexican stand off” concerning contract negotiations

They’re at a four way stop trying to figure out who should go first?

Let’s pump the brakes on beating florida
Need to worry about BG and Pitt first

We will beat BG by 70 if we want too….. Looking forward to games as fans has no bearing on the season.

Tony is building a power. I hate to expect better than this past season. But with the recent draft news and this...

 

[Ryno14]

DW means business

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Pitt vs VT and Hooker on ACCN if you are incredibly bored like me.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I thought Mexican stand offs where supposed to take a long time, no?

But of course this was said bc our local media can’t stand it when there’s no drama

The waiting and unknown is so nerve racking. Covering your family in prayer. It’s gonna be okay.

We may very well explode...in 3-5 years...

Sucks, but this period of football, while baseball and basketball are killing it, will take a lot of patience. Especially with all these transfers/lost annual spots we are eating up. It'll take a while to stabilize and rebuild the roster to a full 85 consistently. He may not even get a mostly-HS recruiting class till 2023...then there's time to develop, build up classes of redshirts, etc.

But I'm ready to give him 5-7 years to get us moving in the right direction long-term. In reality...just don't sound like a total jackass like the last 2 coaches and pay kids in freakin happy meal bags. All he has to do is merely make bowl games in the meantime and the fanbase will give em time I suspect.

100%

We say this in July The moment he drops one to Mizzou/Vandy/Kentucky, all of VolNation..

Who complained? Lol

 

[Vfl2407]

I can’t get that network.
how-bout a scouting report on both Herndon and Pitt.

 

[butchna]

I hope we do also but if we don’t people will already be calling in wanting JH fired

Will anyway.

 

[butchna]

Who complained? Lol

Line forms to the left…right after Basillio ends. There’ll be a PC.

 

[JCVol00]

All I will say is, if we do start the season 3-0 then Suddenly the Florida game becomes 10x more intriguing and what would’ve been a sure loss would then look like a possible toss up game, especially if we somehow comfortably beat Pitt

 

[Dooby15]

Give credit when it’s due. DW got the job done with Barnes and TV.

Listening to the pundits, they believe this is the worst team in UT history. If it wasn't for our weak out of conf schedule we wouldn't win 3 games.
I really believe we're better than ppl think. Last year was highlighted by bad QB play and bad coaching. There is talent on this team.

Worst team in UT history yet last year we only won 3 games….
