Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Kind of pisses me off the staff thinks 6-6 is the bar

Kind of pisses me off that you just took a bunch of idiots word for it..

Maybe in their own minds when they are being realistic, but no way they said that to a media guy..

Kind of pisses me off that it doesn’t piss you off that a bunch of idiots were told that
Haha

My takeaways from the VQ chat:

-Staff expects 6-6.
-Tiyon Evans is gonna be good.
-Byron Young is gonna be a beast.
-Our staff is overall a big upgrade from previous (shocker \blue font).
-We’re gonna be tossing the ball all around the yard (6-7 WR getting playing time).
-Looks like our pass rush is gonna be better than expected with Byron Young and Tyler Baron.

You really gotta sift through the BS in that chat lol. And I expect 7-5, not 6-6, personally. I think there are some teams in the East (UK, Mizzou…cough, cough) getting way too much hype. And are we really that much worse than 2019? Nah. Maybe depth isn’t as good but that sure helped us against BYU and Georgia freaking State.

If true, I believe that’s the first time that I’ve ever seen a staff record prediction lol

I thought your people wanted to defund the police?

No they want their own security….. just none for the peasants lol

Still a pup compared to @InVOLuntary and @BaldBiker

Please confirm but the way I read this is that the VQ staff expects 6-6 and not the Tennessee coaching staff.

That would make much more sense

 

[Revived2002]

That would make much more sense

Ha ha - yeah I agree. If our coaching staff is expecting 6-6 then we should be expecting 3-9. Lol

 

[volbeast33]

This approach works well for many people but not all. We are all built differently. Not saying your approach was wrong at all as clearly it worked and you know your own daughter very well. I feel Weezer's pain. Not saying you don't.

I’m definitely sorry for weezers loss…. I agree about different approaches to a degree except I feel that we need to teach kids about mental strength and how it has to be an individual process…. If someone saying mean words to you bothers you than it is going to be hard for you to manage on an everyday basis…. I mainly work with it as it relates to young athletes. I believe in four main thing in young athletes:
* no excuses(don’t care what it is)…. Only thing that matters is production
*listen to the message not the tone
*pressure/fear are not real things…. They come from within so control them
*There is a difference between hurt and injury…. If you are hurt then bounce up and keep playing…. If you are injured then we will get medical attention

So after Nick's hit and run, I felt left out. He gets a car, I want a car too dang it. So I went and traded my wife's car for a Volvo. Yes, VOLvo. Perfect car for Vols fans, no? And perfectly, this is my fob. Never seen an orange fob. Clearly a sign. Go Vols.

We have owned a Volvo for 7 years. Had a XC60 from 2014-2020. Just traded it in last summer for the 2020 XC90. Love it! So glad we went a step up to get more room. They are fantastic vehicles. What did you get?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

What did you get? I have a 2020 XC60 and love it. Had a 2018 before this one.

Do you have any kids? We went a step up last summer to the XC90 and love it. Got the T6 inscription. My wife was worried about the 4 cylinder engine until we test drove it, and was shown how you can change from eco mode to dynamic, which has a ton of giddy up and go. I got caught up into buying Volvo initially because of the safety features…it’s worth the money to know my wife and daughter are as protected as they can possibly be when they are in a vehicle. Due to the great safety features, full coverage on the Volvo is actually cheaper than liability insurance on my 2010 Tundra!!! That’s crazy! If I am able, we will probably not own anything else as a primary vehicle.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

We hired the wrong staff if they stated that….. hopefully…. It was asked if they thought they could get to 6-6 and answered…. Definitely.

Context of the question is always important. As always, the media twists the answer.

Let's see. Probably 1972-1976 or thereabouts.

Ah well, she would have been there in the early 80s. Then on to the (sadly) closed Tyson Middle School, where we met. An interesting time and place to be 13!

My family moved to South Knoxville after 6th grade, so I went to South Junior High, then we moved to North Knoxville after 9th grade and I went to Fulton High. I remember Tyson Middle well, right there on Kingston Pike.

 

[Mightyvol]

If we can score, we are in every game but two. Anything can happen if you can put up points.

I think he meant the VQ staff.

Bingo. Poor phrasing on my part.

That’s how I read it as well.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

The VQ staff thinks that. Not the coaching staff

 

[MCScots4]

Gotta just say….are you f***ing kidding me? How do we lose these guys to bumass, loserass, lameass Kentucky? And they’re from Spring Hill (SHS), where I used to work? There isn’t a Kentucky fan within a 50 mile radius of there.

And you want to go to UK (which is a joke in itself)…..as a 4 star…..to play football?!!! What?!!! If you ever think UT doesn’t properly utilize players or positions, these idiots use their WR’s as QB’s!

I'm from Maury County and can actually think of 4-5 Kentucky fans I know pretty quickly. But they are not near as prevalent here as bumass, lameass Bama fans.

Kind of pisses me off you believe that bunch of idiots when they acted like they were told that..haha

You're supposed to hold the tail when you lip 'em. Shoddy form.
