Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[OGbabyaviVol]

Let’s go!!!! Not if, but WHEN!! Love this dude. He’s gonna get it done.

I’m not a Nick Saban fan, but there is much truth in what he said. The very people applauding him (fans) are the ones he’s referring to. Ironic.

This season might be the quickest turnaround in overall program/fan morale I’ve ever seen.. what a crazy 180 from last year. We were in a dark dark place… even over the summer with the media and a lot of fans doubting CJH and staff. Seems like everybody is pretty much back onboard

They always say it’s the darkest right before dawn. Hopefully our darkest moment has passed in the form of Pruitt, and the dawn is here with Heupel. I questioned the hire, but I’m all aboard now! The red flags haven’t been popping up with him with his coaching abilities, and wow, what an unreal job of managing an extremely thin roster playing through the gauntlet of our schedule! I said it back when there was talk we were going to rest some guys that were pretty banged up against Mizzou, because the coaches thought they could win with who they had, and the same happened against SC, that Heupel is either even better than we think already or he will be called into heavy questioning over those moves. Well, he knew exactly what he and this staff could do with what they had and manage some injuries for other games. That’s impressive to me. I was all aboard after those moments.

Well Nick, actually they do get paid…you know that as well as I do. And they go to class and study??? Come on, Nick!!! You know good and well a lot of those players never step foot in a classroom except the football classroom. You probably have them watching film all day every day, and probably practicing extra somewhere that is private and no one has access to except the football program. Those players football it non-stop. That’s why you never have a significant drop off even when you lose a ton of starters.

I was onboard until he lost the 2nd half of the South Carolina game….. Now Nashvol thinks they have improved.

One of my favorite moments from this year….. I believe it was the SC game…. My parents had come from Tennessee to watch my son play football at 1…. My dad and I stayed at the house to watch the beginning of the Tennessee game….. we didn’t have to leave until 12:45 bc the game was right down the street from us…. In 45 minutes….. we saw four Tennessee touchdowns before having to leave the house.

I think Heupel finishes strong on the recruiting front. He has exceeded expectations in everything else why not cruitin'?

 

[bpvol]

Potentially good nug: Hooker had the option to do senior activities today and he refused to do so hopefully that means he may be leaning to come back next season.

Whose bail we gonna need to raise money for? Fess up. Tennessee Man Told to Wait 10 mins for Pizza pulls AK47. We got AR venison and AK pizza. Tennesseans mean bizness when it comes to procuring vittles.

To every Hoss and Hossette on Volnation,, I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving today.

Happy Turkey Day Pilgrims!

 

[Orange Studs]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY FAVORITE MARANS !!! Remember you are what you eat you bunch of Turkey's !

 

[CAVPUT]

So this isn't "professional football"? Players don't get paid? Do tell, Nick! Other than that, I agree with the expectations and can easily apply it to our situation. At my age, I'm not going to take a single game/win for granted. If we get a title, great. If not, I'm still gonna enjoy seeing good football being played by kids who actually give a damn about playing for the jersey on their backs.

Hey @Freak and/or other ninja mods can we maybe have a Portal Rumor thread where we can all talk about allllllllll the people rumored to be in considering the portal? That way the main forum isn’t getting cluttered with random thread bumps or new threads of kids who aren’t even in the portal and may never be?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Happy Thanksgiving to at least 85% of you all.

For that other 15%, and you know who you are, I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with awkward family moments and overly dry turkey.

 

[Vols4us]

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. A day that is a reminder of what peace and caring for one another in the way of the Lord can do for us all.

I give thanks to Heup and staff for birthing hope for Vol football again.

 

[Rishvol]

So my brisket is about 6” too wide for my smoker.
Should I:
A. Cut it off
B. Tie it up
C. Spit on it and jam it in?

Probably already answered, but you could take something like a brick, wrap it in aluminum foil and then drape the brisket across it. It will shrink while cooking, and you can remove the brick.
