Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Then he went into the NFL and it was like VOLS vs. Florida again.

You can only get so much miracle in your lifetime, I guess. But he is still in the league which is pretty amazing. TBH, I only love our VOLS as far as sports goes. I want our guys to do well after but I don't follow the NFL or the NBA etc.

 

[engineerVOL]

Do that and hike the Maroon Bells. Sounds like a trip!!

Had a friend get married in front of the Maroon Bells!

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol, I have no idea if Telluride is near Maroon Bells, just know I want to knock that hike out sometime.

Telluride BF sits in a big bowl like that. Very sheer, beautiful scenery. My aunt and uncle visit there frequently. App Tom Cruise lives close to where they go? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hopefully they allow travel trailers, lol.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Amazing player, but not a “trailblazer” like the other 4.

He was the first black QB in the SEC to win a national championship.

 

[The Dog]

Nathan Peterman was the worst QB I've ever seen at UT. He got good enough at Pitt to get drafted and have a lot of Steelers fans complaining on draft day that their team had taken Dobbs instead of him. Changes in scenery and staff can matter a whole lot.

Agree. But, Peterman's only chance at UT, he was thrown at the wolves

 

[volinthenorth]

Nathan Peterman had one terrible day in the Swamp. Jarrett Guarantano put in the work over 3+ years to earn that title. His oeuvre was a reign of ineptitude that will hopefully never again be experienced by the Living Vol Fan.

I appreciate anyone who can properly use the word oeuvre.

Like I said, I hope Milton balls out, but I prefer Bailey or even Hooker. If u don't learn from the past, u are destined to repeat it

Anybody have a Helix mattress? Thoughts? We need a new mattress and want to get something good that's not crazy like sleep number.

Buy a Saatva Mattress - Innerspring, Memory Foam, Hybrid & Latex | Saatva

Best I’ve ever had. Unreal customer service too which is hard to find.

 

[volbeast33]

I understand, but without Al, that team doesn't sniff a Natty, hence Tee loses his qualification. That is my point.

WTH are you talking about? He doesn’t lose his qualification…… how many nattys did Al Wilson win in his other three years at Tennessee…. I don’t understand the desire to dump on players like Tee who helped bring something we may never see again in our lifetime…. We should definitely be bragging about our trailblazers in the AA community especially since well over 90% of the players we recruit are AA….. it is huge, imo, that we had the first black QB and first black national champion in the SEC.

What past would we be learning from?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

If it's Milton, they need to go ahead and make a decision so they can start practicing with him as the guy. As for the statues; Holloway was the SEC's first African-American starting quarterback in 1972, while Martin was the league's first Black quarterback to lead his team to a national championship in 1998.

They won’t name a starter until next week after the scrimmage.

So wait…. You prefer Bailey or Hooker yet Hooker also under performed…. Hence why he left VT…. The only one who hasn’t under performed is Bailey but like someone else said scheme matters and if Huepel who is known to be a QB Guru has fixed Milton…. Then Milton is going to start there is too much upside to his abilities.

I try to class up the joint when I can.

I'm not sure he left because of performance. I think he got injured and didn't get the job back when he was healthy. I guess that could be performance related.

 

[The Dog]

Plus, I'm an RV'er, so I run into Michigan fans all the time. They may be homers, but to a man, they miss the LB more than Milton. "U can have him". He balled out against Minnesota after that, well, their critique is not pretty. Like I said, hope I'm wrong, hope the light turns on, but I doubt it. I think Bailey is the guy, if not, give me the guy that's won at a comparable level and everybody says is a leader, Hooker.

 

[Brillovol]

Why didnt you morans tell me about Spotify? Listening to Trey Hensley/Rob Ickes channel.

This no ad stuff rawks.

Love me some Rob Ickes. Especially with Blue Highway. Just hearing his dobro in “Still Climbing Mountains” puts East Tennessee into song for me. Just a few notes and I’m at home in Appalachia where I belong.

Milton sucks

 

[Dudley Smith]

Speaking of QB’s no one expected to be in the NFL in 2021, Garrett Gilbert is starting for the Cowboys against Colt McCoy for the Cardinals in the Marcell Dareus Bowl.

 

[The Dog]

I'm about to get ripped, but that's who I'm riding with, Bailey, Hooker (a close 2nd), then Milton. So rip away

 

[volbeast33]

Milton sucks

Hooker got benched and two different staffs were not high on Bailey so aren’t they all pretty much at the same starting point?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I really think we're gonna see them all against BG.

Truth

I understand your point. But the racists were saying it didn't matter how many Als you had, a black QB would lose a NC for you.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Dunno why you would get ripped. But, per all reports Milton has shown more consistency across the board in what they are looking for in QB.

Either way that is going to be decided probably by Tuesday and it won’t matter and as long as whoever we start against BG destroys them then I am fine with it.

Agree, 110%. Wife and I got married in Brevard, hired a local band to play at our wedding. Played Carolina in the Pines, for same reason.

Pete Wernick also always had that effect for me. Visualizing sitting on top on a mountain. I fact...
