Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[SoilVol]

Tried. Can't do it.

Then lower your expectations so that you can be positive and happy when the team meets them. Start with "Win one game." and move from there.

 

[NMVol]

Generation whatever, so whiney.

 

[Christian Lowe]

They will start to callous over after a while. I am just happy to have football in a full stadium and you youngins are whining about how we aren't gonna be good this year.

Nah. I can find positives in the little things like that. My girlfriends biggest sporting event attended was Dorman vs Byrnes (HS) where we live. Granted, that game gets 20,000 fans in attendance.. but she’s never seen anything like Neyland. I’m taking her to her first college game this weekend. Very excited about it.

Being positive just to get punched in the balls when it inevitably doesn’t pan out is equally exhausting.

It gets better, in your early 40's you stop feeling those nut shots.

Drug test the gloves!

I have a pair, they’re like cheating.

Which of you two morans actually made it to WaHo?

This kind of **** never happens at Huddle House.

Just saying.

 

[JacketVol]

If the past 15 years have led you to have no positive outlook on the present and future of Tennessee sports then do yourself a favor and stop subjecting yourself to it. Go find joy in your life with something else, because it seems this ain't doing it for you.

But she already left him. She gone

Been in a happy long term relationship for two years now. Thanks.

It kind of does matter who it was against.

It does not...you either see and hit open recievers or you don't.

The difference when you play better teams is receivers being able to get open, and the Ol being able to hold their blocks...neither of which is the QBs job...so no it doesn't. You either get it the guys or you don't.

No duh, only dandies go to Huddle House.

I feel sorry that her first (and maybe only) Neyland experience is probably going to be marred with your disappointment and incessant complaints... cmon man. You're swimming in your own pool of sorrow.

The overarching point here is, your negativity isn't because of your age. I think multiple of us have proved that.

From the Louisville/Ole Miss game thread on the PITT message board:

Lol. The ACC isn't bad compared to every other P5 conference that isn't the SEC. But we are absolutely their little b***h. No doubt about it.

 

[UpstateVol613]

The ACC is hot doodoo.

 

[vol81]

They are Attention @hores. That’s all. Stop feeding them.

You act as if I start punching air and sobbing every time we have a play breakdown. I just don’t feel optimistic for the future. Hope they prove me wrong.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No you’re just fanboying again. Didn’t know it’s the end of the world to imply - focus on the 1st and 2nd QBs

I am focusing on the #1 QB...he sucked for three quarters.

 

[JacketVol]

Not you. Catbone geez keep up @Christian Lowe

 

[Christian Lowe]

You do not know me or my post history if you think I come here begging for attention. I’m getting attacked right now, and was for the week Vitello’s future was in the balance.. besides that, I’m not very controversial here and tend to think I’m well liked.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Catbone is in my age range. I’m 25, and I’ll give you some tidbits on why were so “negative”

Last time we won an SEC Title, I was 2 years old.
Last time we appeared in an SEC Title game, I was 10 years old.
We’ve beaten Florida 5 times in my entire lifetime.
We’ve had a losing season almost 50% of the time since I was born.

We have a reason to be negative.

Not really. If it's that hopeless you can just be apathetic instead. If I had no hope in UT turning things around in the relatively short term, I wouldn't be here. For example, if Pruitt was still here.

If you have over 1000 posts and are continually negative, you enjoy being negative. If you didn't, eventually you would just lose interest.

The fact of the matter is it is easy to come in after a win and admit you were wrong. 90% of the negativity on here are just people mentally hedging themselves against optimism. "At least if we suck I'll be able to brag about being right to a bunch of people on the internet" type ****.

I went to the beekeeper to get 12 bees. He accidently gave me 13. I said "sir, you gave me an extra bee"

He said "that's a freebie".

Impressed with the 20+ likes. Kudos for this in the midst of all this . I was scrolling fast past the Hank-Bass love fest.

I’m just defending the negative types. I don’t come here and post about how I feel 50 times a day because I know how y’all react. Clearly. But catbone has the right to.

Catbone during season is hard to put up with..............it's everything..............not the same but I do think he is a Vol fan, just not a very good one

 

[volbeast33]

He did pretty f'n good with Gabriel, and Gabriel doesn't have a really big arm..

Didn’t say big arm….. I said we have to complete the ball down the field….. Last time against Pitt…. Gabriel completed 2 over 50 yd passes and 1 over 35….. we run a version of the veer and shoot which means we run verticals on just about every pass play…. You have to be able to complete that pass to run this offense correctly.

He wears his emotions on his sleeve, many of us do. He’s a bit dramatic about it, but I don’t blame him. Some fans take years of failure differently.
