Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Catbone]

It's still 5-7 tho

 

[Enki_Amenra]

So who wins the bet if we win 6 games?

 

[NMVol]

Everybody knows potatoes aren't for eating. They are for making vodka to numb the pain of supporting a failed political system.

What about fish and chips? I got some London Pub malt vinegar and have been living on fish and chips for several weeks.

Some awesome golf today and it’s not over yet!

 

[Jackcrevol]

Something @Jackcrevol puts on his commie meat?

if the Stasi will allow...

 

[tnvols72]

Lol if I would have suggested Heupel in November you would have laughed just like the rest of any possible list.

We got down to the bottom of the barrel just as I expected - there’s no way I could have predicted we would hire an AD who would hire his failing buddy.

I’m not going to argue with you Bass. You were sheeping for bringing Pruitt back all the way up to the day he was fired. But now you play the other side that he was obviously terrible.

You’re an orange glasses wearing glorified hype man who parlayed a VolNation account into recruiting info.

Even if that was true which you have no proof ,tell us how they did not find Tee at the bottom? You was the poster child for Tee and even at Tenn worst he still could not get the job. Says a lot about what he is thought of as a HC. He could not even get a gig at South Alabama. I was laughing when you was cheering for Tee to get the job.

More your speed...

 

[Devo182]

No. He predicted 3-5 wins. I predicted 6-8 wins. If we win 6, he's gone.

This was back in April:




He knows this, which is why he tried to change the terms and lie about me and my predictions.

Ah I see.

Even Vegas has us at 6.5 wins...and Kingston accepted 5.5 line...sorry but ya got DUPED KV

 

[Jackcrevol]

More your speed...

thats pretty funny.

 

[tnvols72]

So what do I win if Tennessee wins 9-12?

this

 

[InVOLuntary]

3 non conference games (-Pitt) 3 wins

We're more talented that Vandy and SC should go 2-0.

If we split Miss, KY, Pitt, Missouri, 2-2.

That's 7 wins. I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't win 6. 7 should be number.

If we don't win 6, probably hard to sell recruits on the future. Probably not good for the long term prospects of coach.

I think we win at least 7 and I think the Vols finish strong on the trail.

@frank

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It's Kingston. He wanted us to hire Tee. He's hoping Heup fails so he can say "I was right, we should've hired one of the bottom 10 list coaches I suggested!"

I lost total respect for his opinion over that dumb crap. Hiring Tee for HC was a monumentally stupid idea.

LMAO most cattle ranchers know their cattle. It's actually something that has been passed down generations. I would argue they care more about their cattle more than big Corp.
I raise cattle also lol.

I've met a lot of farmers who do row crops and oh by the way I've got all this land I'll do cattle too. Most of the big ranches are run by generational cattlemen too, the local Billy Bob doesn't have any secrets the half million head rancher doesn't have.

Also, big ranches who sell to big corps get paid by the grade of cattle, so they care a lot about the quality because they get paid more if the cattle are higher quality. Getting lower than a choice grade means they lost money.

Not that all small local guys are bumpkin dummies who are clueless, but my point is that assuming small and local is always better is a bad assumption.

 

[SmokinBob]

Oklahoma has a roster on par with us, yet they are a consensus playoff pick because they are in the Big 12. I'm telling you guys... Them joining the SEC is worse for them than it is bad for anyone in the SEC.

 

[Ten_Titans]

OK, got it. I'll say 3-5 wins.

And Bass, you know as well as anyone that Tennessee's ineptitude is far more certain a bet than anything to do with the stock market.

Well great news. You can get that line right now. And not only that, they will spot you an entire game and a half.

If <= 5 is more of a sure thing than anything in the stock market, <7 is sure as the sun coming up tomorrow.

Only logical thing to do is take every dime you have, take the under, and post proof. I'd rather see that than some silly forum bet.

That is... Unless the most intellectually honest person on this forum is not as honest as they are claiming.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

its difficult to see a coach who went 6-4 at a school killing it in this league, esp after we led NCAA in attrition. I honestly think we scored in transfer market and he made some good moves. I like what im hearing from kids on campus. But I question not moving Lenneth and Tee to LB.

He made some really solid coaching hires. Which will pay dividends. That said this team went 3-7 last year. Our qb wont be worse, it cant get any worse, but, it wasnt great at its previous stop. Our WR's havent created separation since JJ & MC. Even then, shut them down and Capt Interception was lousy.

We add 3 wins to schedule this year 3 + 3 is 6. 6-6.

Context on that "6-4" is huge...jeez man you know that by now. Good thing fur Bammer they didn't fahr lil Nicky when he went 6-6 and lost to F'n Louisiana-Monroe..

 

[UpstateVol613]

@Jack Burton needs your help guys.

 

[Rishvol]

DeChambeau is trying to lose this

 

[Christian Lowe]

Jesus lol. Maybe if he were a farm cat just for rat control I never interacted with or if I were a sociopath. I’m rather attached to the little guy.

And considering this is him as I’m typing this, he’s pretty attached to me.

Got both of them here now. Wonder if they make Tennessee jerseys for cats lol. I’m sure they’d hate it, took a week to get them to accept a simple ID collar.

LSU and Penn State had bad covid years also. They should definitely fire their coaches. Those are terrible coaching staffs!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Done

Wouldn't have taken that bet, and it has nothing to do with whether I think Heupel is any good or not. If this roster has several of the starters at OL, DB or LB miss extended time to injury..then winning five could and probably will be a struggle.

Plus...I thought he said 6-6 originally, but then he said more than 6, which means at least 7-5...so which will you honor?

I'm not worried about having an avi change. Would be worth it for the chance to have him gone. Injuries sure would be a cheap way to win that bet though.

But he has less than 6, I have 6 or above.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I just don't know what to expect this year. 3-9 is too low even for me, though I suppose we could have some Georgia State-esque disastertastrophe against South Alabama or something, but it's hard for me to imagine anything less than 4. Then there's a scenario where I could see 7 or 8. I just don't know that we have the depth to make 7 or 8 likelier than 4 or 5. There are going to be injuries, there always are, and it's possible none of our QBs are all that good. I have no feel for this team.

You and I have been on the same page on this for a while. I feel the exact same way.
