Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Vols2DaWall]

I'd be surprised and disappointed if we got shellacked. I'm thinking it'll be 27-20ish and could go either way

Look, I'm just a random no name poster who rarely speaks and mostly observes. You and catbone were the first two that popped into my mind when I read that description. So, imo you could do a couple of things to remedy the issue.
1. Maybe do some self reflection on your posting style, the things you say, and how you present your feelings so you're not one of the first individuals that come to mind when someone mentions negative posters.
Or 2: Don't take the internet and random message board strangers too seriously. I recommend number 2.
Have a good Sunday!

Nah...I'm good. You wanna call me an ******* cause you don't like what I say or how I say it..fine..but don't ever call me a thief...and I am nothing like Catbone, show me one time where I have ever said stupid crap like..."We should just take a knee".

You don't like me, then do yourself a favor and ignore me.

McGill is crotchety, but he’s no thief. Nor is Catbone.

 

[MockingVol]

It’s almost like running a team loaded with Five stars and first round QB’s in a crappy conference makes you appear better than you are. Who woulda thunk

To be fair— despite how much I hate saying this— I think UGA’s defense is very legit. Clemson will take a step back, but will still be made to look very good in a bad ACC.

I don't see where I called you either an a-hole or a thief. I said you're a generally negative poster. Again, re-read suggestion number 2 I made and then attempt to not take message board banter too seriously. Big deep breath. It's just the internet, fella.

Hopefully by the time we are recruiting like Georgia, Nick Saban is on his way out. It would suck to stack recruiting classes together like that and not have a national title. Don’t get me wrong they are a lot better off than us but I’d want a national title with the way they have been recruiting the last several years.

I disagree I think Clemson will lose two more this year and struggle in the ACC

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I guess for $20 million, any school would do that.

What kind of narcissistic ******* would want to embarrass his school like that?...I would be like nah, you could just name a gate or something at the stadium after me.

The whole exchange was started over Hardy saying someone stole from his restaurant..keep up.

 

[NMVol]

Hipe the hipe!!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

In fairness, I think its unethical for a business to do that. They do that for the sole purpose of screwing people over, so I'm not particularly mad they get screwed back. I would never do it though. I try to always tip over 20% regardless of service quality.

I don't pay anybody that doesn't do their freakin job.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It'll take a lot of quick recoveries and future injury luck for Georgia to go undefeated, even in the regular season. Our receivers and TE's are in bad shape right now. Leading receiver last night was a 230 lb freshman 3rd string TE. Second receiver in terms of yardage was a walk-on. After that it's a sordid mixture of walking wounded and unable to play.

And the defensive backfield is paper thin, especially until Tykee Smith and Jalen Kimber return. We used another walk-on some last night at safety. Very little margin for injury in the secondary.

Exactly what my boy was saying last night. He knows y'all ain't going undefeated with that offense being decimated.

 

[NMVol]

Hipe the hipe!!

Don't let the tangent kings throw you off course.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It can be fixable in a couple practices imo. Hoping it's the case.

Seriously? Not saying it is impossible to fix, but at this point he has had hundreds of practices in his career and he is still doing it. Maybe he has a Burrow like light switch flip happen, but that is doubtful.

I hope you're right though.

 

[ryan990]

I know what the exchange was about. When I saw "he seems like a miserable person" you're who I thought of, sorry. If you feel you need to defend your internet honor to random nobodies, by all means continue posting, but really you're just proving my point. I'm going to leave it at that, but if you'd like the last word it's all yours.

 

[VolGee4]

If we beat Pitt, then I think it’s 90% we finish .500 or better. I know it’s not saying much, but that’s something Dooley, Jones, and Pruitt could not do in year one.

Butch’s schedule in year one was insane. Getting to 5-7 was actually good.

 

[C-town Vol]

It can be fixable in a couple practices imo. Hoping it's the case.

We will see. Some guys, psychologically, are simply risk averse. They think “don’t mess up” rather than “make a play”. That isn’t something that can really be coached. It’s what we witnessed with JG. That comes in the make up of the person, not just the football player.

I have no clue if Milton is wired that way, but if he is, he will never be THE guy we’ve been waiting for. My concern is that his hesitance in decision making was fueled more by fear of failure than simply not knowing what to do. Time will tell.

 

[SpringBokVol]

So what was your biggest takeaway or surprise from yesterday’s action?

 

[butchna]

I like Leach. He would have given me a great reason to like Tennessee (when they aren’t playing UF), but it didn’t happen.

But even I can admit it’s inevitable that he’s ran out at Miss State. It just ain’t working there.

Was excited when it looked like we had hired him. In retrospect, his entire disregard for the ground game would have been a dead end.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He's shown some of the same issues under two staffs so far. I'm not out on him yet but at this point in his career he probably is what he is.

I really really hope not. I hope Heupel does t e QB whisperer thing and fixes him, but he couldn't with Darrell Mack.

Hahaha. Thank the Lord for message board counselors. Better get to remedying Ulysses.

Some small nugs: Javonta Payton is not doing a whole lot in practice either…. My person thought he would be a lot better than he has been…. Velus Jones is full speed but does not look like the same player…. Thinks HS is bothering him more mentally than physically…..need Callaway back…. Small chance he makes it back this week but probably week 3…. Before game….. a group of players were talking about having a true leader in Joe Milton this year… not sure if they still felt the same after the game….. no practice till Monday…… lot of film work from Thursday through Sunday though correcting issues…

One more thing: I was already at the game Saturday and my person texted me that the Young issue was rumor only…. ….. About 30-40 minutes later…. I received a text stating…. Never mind…. BY is not dressed out….. I didn’t see either text till much later……

My biggest concern coming out of the game was the WRs. We don’t have any DUDES at the position. Concerned about them consistently beating the physicality of SEC secondaries

From what Heupel has said with regard to risk an occasional interception given context will be tolerated by him. It's part of the alchemy of growing QB's into playmakers.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Not saying LSU isn’t a top gig, I’m saying it’s not worlds apart from Auburn from a facilities, administrative, or even football perspective. LSU’s AD is under investigation for how much he protected his coach and players from liability in domestic violence and sexual assault cases. He may be out before too long.

I have no idea if he’d take the LSU job, but he doesn’t seem to be looking to clean up a mess, and LSU will most likely be a mess.

Then he must be waiting for Saban to retire, because coaches get fired for a good reason.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Regarding Vandy - makes you think that James Franklin was a really good coach to get that program on an upward trajectory.

Bobby Johnson redshirted everyone for years prior. He got a " loaded Vandy roster" during a crappy period for the east. He sucks and glad we got Heupel instead of overpaying .
