Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Kingston Vol]

This almost sounds like you hope it happens.

No sir. I just don’t think we’re doing ourselves justice as a fanbase if we allow ourselves to jump back in after BYU and UTC.

Those are games 99% of us expected to win this offseason. I get you adjust expectations based on results - but to me this ship has left the port.

Go beat Florida, or look semi-competent down there and I’ll be willing to say something has changed.

Has a few NC rings too, but who’s counting...

Yeah 3 fcs NCs

 

[nesbuddha66]

I’m sure a lot of people have mentioned it, but watching these other games and there is a big difference from what I saw Saturday in neyland. I hope we can correct some things man, and the misalignments, I mean that can’t happen again at all period moving forward

Pruitt is tone deaf

I understand coach speak which is why I never lost my mind with Butch’s conferences but this is possibly the worst loss in school history without excuse. You can’t glaze over it so easily.

I’m sure he says other things behind closed doors, but we need to hear, “Credit to Georgia State but this kind of loss never has, more ever will be acceptable at Tennessee.”

As fans we need to jump in no matter what. This is our team and they need support.

If the losses mount up the rest will take care of itself

Did we just become best friends?

 

[Smokeytom]

Cool...hook em.

Your first sentence is the thing that UT has taken for granted for literally decades.

Most unflattering angle of yourself? Incline curls. Looking like a sharpei

Prone incline dumbbell curls (spider curls) is like Christmas morning though

 

[chargervol]

Yep, we love the lazy take and blast individual players. So we believe whatever negative is said about them.

I heard the whole interview and I know Twitter picked the worst clips.
But he gave it to them on a silver platter. You lose to Ga state and you can't mention "some good, some bad". There's no version of medium or ok, under the circumstances.

Not good enough is the only answer. Even if he doesn't believe it, which is another discussion, he's the QB, he has to own it.

Ron is Catbone. Catbone is Ron

Bituli & Bryce returning should help the defense a lot. I also will keep faith than Ansley improves the more he calls & sees the film.

Offensively we just need to pick our guys on the line and just give them the opportunity to get comfortable and learn their position.

We need to get better everywhere on defense, but the main issue was how our dline had no pressure. We were getting blown off the ball.

You know the new HC of Louisville was amped to take the job. Petrino didn’t leave that cupboard bare.

This has been the excuse for the last decade. Enough with the excuses just win or get the hell out.

 

[BearCat204]

Smh. One story. Close to kitchen. Need a diversion

 

[Captain Mitch]

I think we see an entirely different team this weekend. I really do. Something was off this past Saturday. It won’t be the same this weekend

 

[BearCat204]

I'm going to assume that since we didn't gameplan for Georgia St at all, we used that time to gameplan so biggly good for BYU that we destroy them

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Hard to go #2 at the in laws..need to get home ASAP

You better courtesy flush

 

[Skizer41]

The best thing UT fans can do is put a lid on it until next Saturday, then fill the stadium and support the hell out of this team. Give people who're paid a lot of money the chance to address issues and fix problems and see what they can do. Trashing the AD, UT admin and the university, hating on players, calling for heads to roll and fans to empty Neyland does nothing to help and much to hurt.

Recruits are reading and hearing all of this. It's bad enough-- no gain in making it worse.

This! This! This!

Best post I've read in a while. Cheers @LA Vol

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Guys on the radio saying they saw a handful of players, some key starters, smiling after the game on Saturday. THIS IS THE PROBLEM. They don’t care!!

YOUTH MOVEMENT. Now!

 

[chargervol]

@SweetasSoda give us a shout out so we know TN didn't finally finish you off.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Murphy tweet is gone. I’m working through the thread so it sure of screen shot, but what’s the content?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Brent_Hubbs, post:

Maybe they make a move and Fulmer takes over. I don't know. Let's see what this thing looks like in 7 days. Hard to see things getting better given the play of Saturday and the reaction to it.

We are so screwed boys

 

[StoVol]

only seen one player come thru since he played that could match his want to
Al Wilson
Dale was an outstanding football player

I’ve never really bought into this line of thinking. If fan support equaled wins this program would be in the upper echelon year in and year out.

We’re here to talk about the Vols and what we think about x, y and z. Not pretend everything is OK and self censor our true thoughts and expectations.

I’m not saying you tweet recruits/players how much we suck or protest every Saturday until the coach you don’t like is removed - but we can be honest with ourselves.

 

[millst987]

Mission accomplished. You created a stir with a post with no context lmfao. He was asked with if they go 3-9.

He later posted,
"Don't misread me. I never said Pruitt would be out after week two or anything like that.

The question was at 3-9 or 4-8 what happens as I said in another thread with an 11 million dollar buyout I doubt a move is made"

Calm down LoTM.

Why r u being a dik? I was just reporting what was actually written. I’ll just let Ron share info from now on, not worth my time being attacked.
