Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

walking on ed shales playing for Pruitt, but Heupel let's them go petal to the meddle!

Whoa - are these new additions to the VolNation lexicon or have I just missed these gems over the years. Either way, kudos for excellent usage

 

[NMVol]

C'mon guys. Don't doxx your inside sources.

 

[MrVolton]

A&M wanted to win. They went out and got there guy. Money was no object. Now they're one of the top teams in college football with a chance at the playoff this year if they can beat bama. TN could have done this, but didn't. Have to hope that if Heupel turns out to be the guy that we will make the same financial commitment to keep him

I think UT tried this time, but the program is just too far down right now. Should have done it 12 years or so ago.

Also our new qb has great pocket presents going petal to the meddle and no Ed shells like with Harbaugh two

But you just never know. Nebraska and Michigan thought they were getting their guys and paid premiums for Frost and Harbaugh. Texas won a bidding war over LSU for Tom Herman. A&M had a nice year last year against a pretty favorable schedule, and may do so again this year, but Jimbo hasn’t even won them a division title yet. That’s a hell of a bet for a guaranteed contract that long in a league that churns through coaches.

I'm glad the jackass they swung on chickened out...for one, he ain't no Jimbo. I think he is a good, not elite coach but a horrid horrid person, and I am so thankful he is not our coach..period.

Complete word samwitch. Moran.

 

[DarthVol1]

Yeah I know…. Once in a lifetime experience.

My son got his Masters in Sports Management and was on the event managment staff. They let those guys run through the T on senior day in 2016. I raised him in orange since day he was born and the first season tickets we had was when he was 6 and we sat just above the tunnel where they line up. He told me then he was going to run through there some day. He was right! I cried like a baby watching him do it.

I hear excited. My VFL mainly talks to coaches but they seem confident and one DL said they are ready to get after it. He was his “buddy” last year and still talks to him.

I’m excited to watch them. I just don’t want to see them ever roll over and fight for sixty minutes. If they do, I think they can win more than people think.

That’s what I want this year. Go all out for 60 minutes. I am so sick of playing not to lose and holding the players back.

That’s awesome…. I bet you were so proud.

Milton was a bad choice for this show. Dude has no personality lol

True. And can’t figure out how to put the microphone close enough to his mouth.
But if he’s successful on the field, he will have a lot more opportunities to improve on his interviewing skills.

volbeast’s source tmrw night…

If he can get the POTS to show up and form the T just for him on the night before the game, I'd say he's a pretty big deal.

 

[DawgInterloper]

Dude. Are you sure you are a UGA fan? You are far too rational and objective.

I'm not that personally invested in outcomes; too old I guess. In some ways football is predictable, not necessarily from game to game, but over the course of a season. If a team loses enough key players or gets perilously thin at a couple of position groups, it generally turns some of what should/could have been wins into losses. "Next man up" is the fans' feel-good saying, but those top players really need to mesh during the offseason and then keep that continuity during the games. Fans for some reason forget the key injuries and load all blame for the losses on the remaining players or the coaches.

Joe Burrow and his receiving corps during 2019 is a good example. They worked hard over the preceding summer, and then 9 of his top 10 pass catchers all played in either 14 or 15 games that season (Terrace Marshall 12 games). The result was probably the most effective college passing attack I've seen. Butch Jones is a good counter example. He may not have ever become a championship coach, but he had a horribly bad streak of injury luck in his last two seasons at UT and that, along with some management issues, scuttled his chances of success.

He couldn't win the starting job at NDSU

They are legit for a lower level school.

Prayers extended glocker.

Thank you RF for thoughts & prayers. I am thankful for you Volnation! Thanks to Freak, too, for creating this place to commune and commensurate.

Ehh, yeah. That insult means less when the guy who beat him for the job got picked 3rd in the draft lol.

 

[Glitch]

If he is the QB against us and wins…. That will be a new low in Tennessee football…. I wonder why people think they are better than us…. That is the most important position on the field.

Padded rooms will be available for all who need them if that happens.

 

[VolGee4]

I don’t understand the problem. You have been saying this all day.

The problem is that no one said that this coaching staff doesn’t like Bailey. He’s made a mountain out of a mole hill when everyone said that Bailey just needs more time. No one said Bailey is bad. Literally, no one.

 

[BigSteve09]

My neighbor's son is Peyton Manning and he said that the quarterback battle was good but none of them are as good as Peyton was. He's an honest man, and he loves his son. Hard to find fault with that.

It was bait so he'd have something to do today.

We can argue about lights and what not, but at least we don't have THIS problem.....

“South Carolina starting sack of potatoes at LT and “dog” at WR”

VB33 is a time traveler imo.
