Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Tennessee Baseball approves this bat flip.

Not really a gimmick when you can see the field better

I was referring to the flashing light show like what Bama installed.....wait, is that not what they are doing?....break's over, back on my head

 

[butchna]

I hate that gimmick crap.....looks so lame...maybe it will last about as long as third down for what

They’re all fads! Like electricity…and the internet!

Gimmick? Nah, it's cool! Great experience for the fans AND players, IMO

well, the good news for me is that I recognize that I am in the dark

From everything I've seen so far via reports and videos, it looks like at the very least, this entire team is finally bought in with this staff (who is actually teaching and developing these players) and will be fighting for each other from whistle to whistle... And that is something worth rooting for--- we've missed that for years...Everyone on the same page with the same goal... Sure we all want 7-8-9, even 10 wins, but at this point I'd just like to see my UT team fight every opponent tooth and nail and leave it all on the field. G....B....O....

I'm sticking with 7-5 or better, barring injury.

Who would you say are the critical injury risks this year (guys that, if injured, the dropoff would be considerable)? During the Butch years I always thought Dobbs...Kamara...Hurd. Man were we lucky (especially with Butch's god awful injury track record).

I'll go with:
Milton
LT/RT
Either starting LB

Not sure if there's a bigly noticeable drop off anywhere else on the roster. A combination of decent depth...but also a lack of true star talent.

God I love that call by John Ward.

Nissan Stadium does it now and I was at a Nashville SC game and they did it when they scored a goal. I thought it was really cool. The stadium was rocking between that and the fireworks.

Ok...at some point life has to go on and stop being held hostage by this thing.

I am not referencing the need for protocols. That is another discussion on which we probably agree. Protocols were in place and teams had to follow them. A few coaches and staffs disregarded them and tried to get a recruiting advantage. The majority followed the protocols. Some who did not follow Covid recruiting and practice protocols have already faced discipline. More are yet to come.

Needs more sweat bands on other side

That was my number. Partial to the ole 76. Wears it better than I did though!

 

[Devo182]

I don’t want him fired. God forbid they get someone that can actually coach

Maybe, but his recruiting is so good...makes em tough to beat. I'd take a Richt team with top 6-10 classes. They were much more beatable for us. Now they pick up 4-5+ 5 stars a year. That's just tough to beat.

So Florida has OL issues, a QB with questionable throwing ability, unproven talent at WR and TE, and a solid RB room. But, those OL issues. Boys, FL is a win this year. Yep.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Clemson absolutely throttling UGA feels like something that could derail their season and possibly get Kirby **** canned.

Wishful thinking but I'm here for it.

I feel like Buzz Killington here but saying there's 0% chance Kirby is fired doesn't even do it justice. It's like dividing by 0, it just cannot be done.

 

[tnhunter 10]

This is a BS list. We're no.2 in the under appreciated atmosphere.

They will also get mentally and physically beat down the week before....smelling blood here. Their defense will be decent but not great also.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Knoxville would be a circus if we went 4-0 to start the year. This board would be a madhouse.

 

[Rishvol]

That was my number. Partial to the ole 76. Wears it better than I did though!

I feel like you didn't even weigh 76 when you played

 

[Devo182]

In between sets my man

Love it when I finish a set...5 seconds later while checking my phone to change the song or email for 30 seconds...guy comes over and asks to hop on a set.

Hate that guy.

 

[BubbaWms]

God I love that call by John Ward.

 

[SmokinBob]

That's good.
I just avoid alcohol, smoking, food with any flavor whatsoever, sudden movements, exertion, reality TV, etc..
Ok,the last one might be my choice but you get the idea.

Are there any surgery options remaining?

Emory Jones is the classic backup UF guy that sucks...then houses an 80 yd run Concerned about our LBs vs him. Our DL needs to dominate that game and not let him get that far.

 

[SmokinBob]

There's still one but I'm not there. As long as I can keep it relatively under control, don't want to start poking around in there again.
Some were a help, others just caused unnecessary misery.
I'm a UT fan, not adding any more unnecessary misery.

you know your VolNation family is here to help!

Walter Nolen is now the #1 player in the country and if we do land him he will be our highest ranked recruit ever. Would be huge for Huepel to pull that one off year 1
