Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Let’s check in on VQ board.


Oh my...

 

[Rishvol]

Nooo. This day sucks.

Wife went through a bottle of wine stressing out about it

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Bruh I feel like I need Jesus after this

 

[Smokeytom]

Literally the only person I’ve heard say 5-7. 7-5 or above is 90% around here with a few 6 wins. @chavisut thought 5 was possible. I thought half the team would have to be injured first. But now...

back to back years we come out with no energy in game number 1. How?

Idk man...truly at a “believe it when I see it” level with Pruitt. Dooley and Butch had my trust longer than this.

Just got a nice shout out from Herbie during the Auburn game

I’ve been trying to avoid halftime so Herbstreit blasts us mid game

 

[Aesius]

Anybody who thought this was a 5-7 team is at 4-8 or 3-9 now. Nobody predicted a L here. The Vols were favored by 25 points against a team that had never beaten a P5 team. And they lost by 8 points-- and it could've been even uglier.

I went from 7-5 to 1-11.

The only thing worse than right now is tomorrow

This.....

I don't recognize this team or Tenn football anymore. It resembles nothing I grew up watching and fell in love with.

See my last post about trying to get my kids interested. They’re at that impressionable age. My son is trying so hard to get excited like daddy and he’s like:

 

[wuwh_08]

Guys, stop going to the damn games! Stop feeding them money until it’s fixed

That won’t solve the problem. It’s like a self licking ice cream cone.

Can’t win if we can’t recruit. If you have a half empty stadium recruits won’t come. If you don’t have money you can’t upgrade facilities or can’t pay money for coaches.

So what’s the temperature? PTB still trusting the process?

 

[darkgable]

Did anybody see one player on offense or defense go up and down the sideline trying to fire up the team?

It was easy to hope for. Seems like Pruitt has gotten everything he has wanted, but he doesn't know what to do with it. With all of the talk, it felt like we were prepped for a break out. We didn't truly know what we had until it was exposed today. Now we know, and it's ugly.

It has not been a banner day for the SEC.

Only bammer lsu uga a&m actually showed up

 

[SpringBokVol]

For me, we scored enough to win a bad game.

This is all on the d. They couldn’t stop anything.

Literally ran 4 plays the second half and we knew what was coming.

Couldn’t stop it

I’m not even mad.

It’s worse.

 

[Catbone]

Let’s check in on VQ board.


Oh my...

I'd laugh but I'm dead inside

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Anyone else been turning channel on every game 10 seconds before halftime?

 

[Devo182]

Did anybody see one player on offense or defense go up and down the sideline trying to fire up the team?

Or coach? Lackadaisaical. Pruitt foremost

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Welp time to update that “Never Again” poster on the lockers to add the Ga St score.

 

[tn88volfan]

I knew today was going to be trash when my blue tick took a dump on my front porch this morning.

You are dejected...like we all are.

Pruitt needs to take over the defense immediately.

 

[Big Sun]

Larry prolly

5-7

 

[Captain Mitch]

I just don’t even know what happened. It all seems like a big joke. To me, it mostly seems like this falls on the defense. We couldn’t stop their run game

And defense being Pruitt's area of expertise, it's all the more disappointing. It doesn't make sense.
