Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I'm a teller of the truth. Duke, Kansas, Virginia, and I'd argue Gonzaga are all better right now IMO. Kentucky is still Kentucky as well. We'll see.

Except that Gonzaga's best player is out for 8 weeks.

Did you not watch the SC game last week? Helton called a great game. We were up 21-9 halfway thru the 3rd Q before the defense couldn't stop SC's running game.

So he calls a good game at South Carolina and Swanson says he'd take him over Hugh Freeze. Get a clue man. I mean I'm actually cool with Helton, but to pretend like he's better than Freeze is a joke.

 

[HankHill]

Which means maybe you’ll finally accept the reality that JG is a good QB and he’s only going to get better

He’s not good lol.

Google didn’t tell him that

Another crazy stats i saw. Peterman has thrown an INT on 11% of his passes. In order for Tom Brady to have 11% of his passes be INTs he would have to throw 1000 straight picks lol.

yeah they were talking about that on the radio here yesterday.
crazy stat.....

Want to place that bet baw?

Our Basketvols are NOT making the final four, but hopefully they will improve all season and be in the thick of it finally during the tourney... We haven't proved enough or been consistent enough to merit these types of rankings and statements... We have some talent, but we had it last year too and it was hot and cold most of the season. It will have to get to the next level of consistency if we deserve a top 10-15 ranking.

Real talk, can you read?

Getting to a Final Four is incredibly difficult. Not only do you need to be a really good team, but a lot of times luck and the way the ball bounces needs to be in your favor.

I hope fans don’t see this as a Final 4 or failure type year and enjoy it for the ride that it will be.

@Freak Do you plan on uploading the South Carolina game?

I agree. Folks won't appreciate you saying this group won't make it to the Final Four though.

Real talk, you want to place that bet baw? Or do you just agree with my take that this team won't make a Final Four?

Yeah, I will. I got sidetracked this week with some board issues.

*sigh*

There’s my answer. I figured I was done dealing with elementary minds.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Chief......lets go ahead and stfu kid.

This

It's astounding to me that people on this board have so quickly forgotten how much responsibility Lane bears for the current state of our program and it's near decade-long slide.

I'd rather not see him back in orange.

This, all day long.

Lol ...and Chief liked this

 

[volfanCLT]

Chief......lets go ahead and stfu kid.

I’m honestly just trying to help the kid read better at his point.

He’s unaware what he’s arguing and trying to “bet” against a point I never made. I tried.

Futile effort

 

[jakez4ut]

-TN won't make it to the final four.

-how do you know?

-wanna bet on it?

"im not a troll"

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Lol

 

[avolation]

He's an accurate passer that just lacks pocket presents. He needs to work on getting the ball out quicker with faster decision making and work on footwork/mobility within the pocket. He does that, and the presents will come.

He should get together with Santa during the off-season and work on that quick release.

 

[Catbone]

Final 4 is a bit much. I think getting to the elite 8 is more realistic. And that's assuming we stay healthy of course.

Let's see...

Finished #13 (returned all starters, and 6th man of the year)
26-9 (13-5 SEC)
SEC Tournament Runner-Up
SEC Conference Co-champion
Several good/great wins, several close losses to great teams
No "bad" losses
Lost to a team who went to the F4 in the tournament (on a last second lucky shot)

How do we not deserve a top 10-15 ranking when we are one of the only P5 teams (syracuse is the only other one, i believe) to return all our starters and we finished in the top 15?

Keep in mind our strength of schedule was near the top last year as well.
