Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

No way in hell Tennessee gives up 10 scholarships this year lol.. maybe a 1 year bowl ban. The NCAA is damn near a thing of the past anyway…

I do feel better about a quicker, better outcome with the sec backing us up.

Just found out that monster dude in my gym competes in the Olympia and the Arnold Classic.

Should I challenge him to a flex off? Maybe I can out angle him with some creative posing

I thought this was a good illustration.

Lol that's some terrible balance

Knife fight would be more of a spectator sport.

Who is it?

Anyone want to take a stab at what our defensive class is going to look like?

Male, late teen to early 20s, athletically built guys.

Has the first date of fall camp been announced?

Central, Commissary, BBQ Shop

Avoid Rendezvous and Corkys. Overrated tourist traps

Depends on what you want to eat. If it's ribs you're after then i highly suggest BB Kings on Beale St. It is a tourist trap for sure but somehow their ribs are consistently better than any of the other places in town i've tried in my 8 years living here.

Oklahoma and Texas will probably be members by the 2022 football season. Lots of moving parts.

Think they have to play through the end of the contract. I doubt they want to pay a buy out.

How can this be real life?

Meth is a helluva drug.

I love this. That SEC south pod would be brutal. I love it.

I follow the sport and there are some locals involved at that level so was just curious.

Okay it’s my turn to ask the question as I’ll be going to Memphis tomorrow. Best BBQ joint in Memphis?

Commissary and Central were the two big names that I liked the most, but they had started to go down hill when I last was there 6 or 7 years ago. Some guys on here had recommended some lesser known ones that are apparently amazing, so I'm watching this to see if some of them get recommended. I don't remember the names.

Also, remember the I40 bridge is still out for another few weeks, so traffic will probably be an absolute nightmare.

One & Only BBQ for Pulled Pork Quesadilla

Gtown Commissary for BBQ Nachos

BBQ Shop
Interstate
Central
Paynes

cant go wrong with any of them

Interstate was one of the worst BBQ experiences I've ever had. Bad food, service, building, people, sauce, drinks, everything. BBQ Shop is the one I think you've mentioned before, going to have to try that.

Some interesting articles out there about what could happen with Big 12 programs.

The obvious route is teams will find other P5 homes. WVU to ACC, Kansas/Iowa St/etc to the B1G, and a few others to the PAC. Baylor and K-State left in no man's land potentially if nobody wants them.

But here's the other potential route which would be interesting - calling up and promoting the best current G5 teams - Houston, Memphis, UCF, Cincy, etc. Talk about a whole new landscape that could turn into...which those schools being in pretty good recruiting areas and then having the P5 tag.

It messes with my OCD.

Too much work for me

You suck as a human being.

The Power 5 is just an arbitrary title that doesn't mean anything.

Adding UCF to your conference and then declaring yourself a P5 conference reeks of declaring yourself National Champion after going undefeated.

"If a team in this conference goes undefeated, are we virtually guaranteed a spot in the playoff?". If the answer is yes, then you are a power 5 conference. I don't think adding those teams from your list would do that for them. Jmo.

Nah...they'll be playing in SEC by 2023.

 

[drvenner]

Changing the subject, I wasn't on here at the time.

Why did Evan Berry not see the field on offense or defense as a Vol? Why was he only a special teams ace?

I remember at the time thinking his abikities were being absolutely wasted, and it was a travesty he didn't get the ball in his hands more often.

My father was in sales for years, he worked closely with the other salesman for the territory who was a mid level booster for Alabama out of Birmingham. Says he's been told 23 is the year and SEC is currently working out details to help them pay their way out.
