Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[NMVol]

I just texted an OU friend: The program is being over-managed. It's a cash cow and PR and PC concerns have taken over. Not sure how the Vols come out of the tail spin. The game in Norman next year is just not big enough to start sand-bagging now.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Wow, the FF has completely melted down. Random thoughts riddling the first page.

Still working through the pregame of the thread... when life was simpler and we had our innocence intact

Why did you post a random picture of Vince Gill?

Back to reality boys

Wow. I've never made that connection till now.

What did LWSvol say that has everyone referencing him being right?

Predicted 5-7. Now he looks like a sunshine pumper.

I've watched virtually every college game since Thursday. JG is the only QB who throws a damn bullet on every pass.

This isnt a gif ****ing situation! Get your priorities straight!

Wyoming up 17 over Mizzou.

Also the only guy who checks down every single 3rd and 10

 

[UTSuave’]

I know you guys don’t, but I still have faith in these players and coaching staff. I think we can beat FLA.

As JG being the starter?...

 

[McGeesPub]

Still in shock, so this may be a dumb question. Have we had a worse loss in program history?

I've been skeptical of Pruitt, but my definition of skeptical was he'll never win the SEC or he's too green to learn on the job in the SEC or he'll be a perennial 8-4 type coach and have this program in a spot to hire a championship coach in 5 years. Never ever dreamed he couldn't have a team ready for GA State.

Still, he's a sophomore coach in the toughest conference. This could be a low point in a decent future career, but his seat rose in temperature, even if it's just a little.

Oh, if he’s not firmly on the hot seat, the problems in the AD still go much higher than the football coach.

Not saying he’ll be fired this year or that he can’t rebound this season, but that seat needs to have some thermal properties right now.

This day man. Maybe something is just in the air and it will all be over by next week.

 

[OrangenSC]

How can a team not be ready to play week1? That's what really bothers me with UT, how can you come out flat. As fans, we were ready for today since last year. We brought more emotion than the team.

It bothers me too that weren't ready to play. Head-scratcher. But the fans didn't have much emotion either. I mean those in the stands. Our job is to make as much noise as we can for as long as we can. That's all we can do, but we can do that. We didn't. I understand we were deflated early. But we can't expect the players to fight through it, yet quit ourselves.

This was a poor, pathetic performance by everyone involved. Coaches, players, fans. Oh yeah, the officials had a couple of poor plays too.

The good news: I'm hopeful it can't get any worse. I'm not as optimistic it'll be a good year, but surely not worse.

 

[volfanCLT]

We Steele have time to make the right hire and save the program

 

[Ron Swanson]

How many TVs remain intact @Ron Swanson ?

Burned the whole house down.

 

[Aesius]

He would have fainted when we turned the ball over on the second play of the game

 

[SLICKYINC]

Oregon is good.

This is accurate. The refs absolutely did not lose this for us but they were terrible spotting the ball all game.

 

[Jimdog's Revenge]

Lmao @7 wins. That was the worst team on our schedule, they ran a max of 4 plays, and laid it to us @ home on opening day. They were up 38-23 w 10 seconds left. Worst loss I've seen in person, and I was @ the Wyoming loss.

Leaf hinted at that during the game. Jg is going to get the numbers but poorly managed game. Missed several open guys downfield

We actually benefited from it a couple of times.
