Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[franklinpence]

That Daily Wire article can’t even keep its subjects straight. At one point Hubbard is the weight lifter and later in the article they’re the person articulating IOC policy. It’s hard to trust journalists/editors who can’t proofread. The late, great Truett Langston of the Macon County Times would have had my hide for that.

Liked for Macon County reference.

Texas and Oklahoma bring eyeballs in multiple revenue sports-- men's and women's. Scheduling to maximize viewership to increase TV money is what they care about.

Not sure why the networks think focusing on announcers conducting inane interviews and chatting nonstop like they're on The View is what viewers tune in for while a live game is being played, but that's apparently the new model. Sankey droned on for an entire inning with everybody ignoring the actual game. I'm surprised they didn't have him hoisting a Coke bottle, label front and center.

SEC should have courted them instead of Missouri and TAMU. Bring in WVU and VPI

Well ****, I just got the Masters rejection email. Oh well.

Join the club….

 

[volsfan_17]

That’s a big deal to TN Tech

While I don't disagree, the future is super conferences and the top 64-72 teams playing each other week in and week out. I personally think that these teams will round out the fall schedule, while the others migrate towards a spring league eventually.

I like to crank her musak up, esp when the girl's are fussy, makes 'em laugh...

Girl has spunk. Good role model.

I initially thought this was innuendo. Kept reading and was briefly confused. Then realized you were actually talking about listening to her music.

let me be clear, i dont listen for my own enjoyment but if girls like it. could be a whole lot worse. Lemme tell you about Jojo Siwa

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Just imagine the excitement around the program if Heup comes in year 1 and produces on offense immediately and we win 7-9. All of those guys are coming back next year except Velus. There would be serious buzz around us

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

I’ve advocated to ditch the SEC a few times now. This OU/TX talk enforces that. You already know somehow this is gonna end up with us playing Bama and OU every year

 

[Brillovol]

I don’t care what it takes, I just want to win. If we can win by beating the entire SEC and Big 8 conferences annually, then fine. If it means TTU multiple times a year and pulling a Tonya Harding on the opposing QB every other week, then so be it.

Kidding on the last part, or was I?

 

[LA Vol]

I'd be surprised if we get Bama off our schedule anytime soon. Nothing to do with the history or the grand tradition of TSIO. Bama likes playing Tennessee. I doubt they care what Saturday it's played. Someday, it will be a game again. But now, Bama just likes having an easy SECE draw they consider an auto-win.

 

[Volitaire]

Adding teams like Texas or Oklahoma only makes it harder for any SEC team that happens to make it to the championship playoffs having just gone through the ringer of an stout SEC schedule unlike teams that play in the PAC, Big 12, or ACC…Let’s not act like our conference isn’t already the hardest in the nation year in and year out

A&M was fine…and still is. Big 12 still hurting from losing that fanbase.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

If TX and OU join .. you would think

West
TX
TX A&M
OU
Mizzou
Arky
LSU
Ole Miss
MSU

East
TN
Vandy
USCjr
UF
UGA
KY
Bama
Auburn

Hahaha. Very familiar. Your girls into the Zombie movies on Disney? My 8yo would watch them on a loop if we allowed it.

A&M is code red, end-stage meltdown levels right now.

Good way to get the game back and they’ll have been vindicated for jumping.

 

[volsfan_17]

@Freak now with NIL in full swing, and our athletes able to make money just off having social media followers, could we get a sticky in each forum with social media accounts for all the players so that Volnation can follow them and add to their fanbase?

They are really crying pretty good over there. . . "we want to be the only Texas team in the SEC! We want our own identity! Whaaaa!"

Meanwhile, Texas wants in so bad so they can be relevant again. It's almost as funny.

I’m sure they don’t speak with one voice.

 

[Revived2002]

I'd rather not make things harder on ourselves to actually be good at football again. Yeah, I'm afraid. No shame in admitting it. We've had 14 years of football dysfunction. Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC might mean less cupcakes in our schedule (i.e. good football games each week), but it also means we likely don't sniff a conference title for quite some time.

I'm in your camp. Being down in the dumps roster-wise while playing an incredibly difficult schedule year-in-and-year-out coupled with our ridiculously sky high fan expectations is a recipe for this disastrous dysfunction carrying on for much, much longer.

We frankly could use some scheduling breaks to get stability at the head coach position and build traction with recruits. That becomes much more difficult with them in the conference.

Is what it is...

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

For it

Me too. I just want to win and win a lot.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Would it though? The schools that benefit most from the move is Texas and Oklahoma and the move would cripple A&M.

 

[Jackcrevol]

i let them watch prequels and their behaviour became more aggressive ... so no
