Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Devo182]

anyone out there that wouldn't?

i'd take not getting curb stomped by the big boys and a December bowl in Memphis, Birmingham or Shreveport, and call it giant WIN.

8 games? Such as 7-5 regular season and a bowl win? Would be a bit of a disappointment.


Expecting 9-3/10-2, if being nega/"realistic". 11-1 with just a tad of luck. But 12-0 well within reach, just play up to our talent and catch a few breaks.. 15-0 if everything goes right.

Judgemint, IMO.

Get the sensation.

 

[RikidyBones]

Lol what'd GojiraVol17 do?

 

[Devo182]

Do we have the talent to do so? I don't see how anyone can argue that we don't.

Talent could carry us to 9 regular season wins alone. 10 with a bowl game shouldn't be too much to ask, but you never know with bowl games. Guys opt out, you end up with a much better opponent like Kiffin did his 1 bowl game, etc.

But yeah I agree the talent is no issue for 8-9 wins.

 

[drvenner]

Who does Tennessee face next year; TU, OU or Both

yes

 

[drvenner]

Same thing happened to me 3 years ago except it was my wife. Tough times for the mind indeed. I made it through though. Hopefully things work out but if they don't you will eventually be just fine

Truly sorry it happened @Catbone But Johnny speaks the truth here.

Unlike the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend was on my must-do list from the beginning. It didn’t disappoint.

The red rocks around Sedona are other-worldly. And we loved the town.

Sedona is awesome. Nothing like going in the winter when there is snow on the red rock

 

[drvenner]

The first stops on our journey Palo Duro Canyon SP in TX and Carlsbad Caverns, Guadalupe Mountains NP, and White Sands NP in NM and TX. I’ll skip those because they were nothing compared to what was to come.

We visited a few places in AZ. Here are a few pics. I wasn’t looking foward to the Grand Canyon. I didn’t really want to go because I thought it was just a hyped hole in the ground not worth seeing. Boy was I wrong.

Edit: I don’t know why that last picture posted that way.

Unbelievably breathtaking. I have got to get out West. My goodness.

 

[drvenner]

No wonder no one likes you. Too judgmental.

Don't really know what you're talking about. Maybe you are just Dredding the inevitability of being wrong.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

We are a week away from fall camp. I am irrationally excited for a football season where we are probably going 7-5 again.

I’d be pretty dern happy with 7-5 this year lol

 

[Devo182]

Lol what'd GojiraVol17 do?

Ya know that movie scene where Paul Blart the Mall Cop loses his cool and goes postal? I don't, but I'd imagine something like that.

Dude was fine for the most part, but definitely protective and just lost it sometimes unfortunately.

Always reminded me of that ole Pane di Mais poster. Except Gojira liked godzilla rather than Marcello Mastroianni.

 

[Jack Burton]

Why, Jack? Were you one of the ones that he sparred with over your incessant ‘Vol’s suck and will never compete with the big boys’ chirping?

“Sparred” is too favorable a word for him. It was like talking to an angry man baby.

 

[Riverratvolfan]

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

I knew Dallas Mccarver very well. Sad story I don’t know why they do that to their bodies, but to each their own I guess

 

[Orangeredblooded]

I guess it’s perspective. Kid was harmless, but then I don’t know what happened.

 

[Weezer]

Don't really know what you're talking about. Maybe you are just Dredding the inevitability of being wrong.

I'm wrong all the time. I've been wrong, even when I was right. And I'm not even married.

I'm curious. When you get banned do you get an email or you just can't get on anymore? And do you usually get a warning first?

Apparently one option is you could just get BGS'd for awhile and have your access throttled.

Sounds like @butchna should know the answers to the rest.

Do you even Judge Dredd brah?

[Enki_Amenra]

depth is the more pressing issue. especially on defense. front line talent is good enough to compete with everyone not named FL, Bama and GA. win them all? nah, can't get there yet. win more than we lose? sure. for whatever reason i think 3-1 in the non conf, and 3-5 in the SEC is about right for us this year. anything better than that...graaavy.

it's year 1. AGAIN. it's just a lot of "new", and it's a tall order for it to all come together in one abbreviated off season for a new staff.

i think the bar is very low right now, and i think there's some fatigue out there as far as what fans "should" expect. not sure that's a bad thing at the moment, if i'm being honest.

Something feels different this year. I'm usually not at 15-0 until early August.

I think we will do probably 7, potentially 8. I really believe 9 isn't out of the question, but that would take a lot of lucky breaks.

In the good old halcyon years, you’d get a message on your profile. It would tell you the date your ban begins and expected return. Twice under the second category it read NEVER.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Too much Handjel can make it difficult to hold onto things.

I’ve heard it helps to speed up some things….

 

[smokeyz1]

I have the depth chart on my own spreadsheet and I have us at 80.

There are 2 former PWOs now on scholarship. OT Davis and Pak Garland. That has us at 82.
