Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[Ron Swanson]

My folks were at 7 lakes with my grandmother, lost her apartment roof in the storm and had to evacuate right after the eye came through. Not sure how they did it but they were able to make it to another house during the second half. So many places I’ve gone to for years just wiped away….Pete’s time out gone….pier gone….The road to the causeway obliterated…. Unimaginable the damage from this storm

My grandparents used to live at 7 lakes. They’ve since passed. Lots of memories riding in the golf cart, swimming in the pools and catching bass in the ponds. I hope your family is safe.

Correct about what, exactly?

Name an elite DB coach and I'll show you the pass rushers his DBs played with.

I like Tim Banks, but his playing not to lose mentality kept Florida in the game...

90+% of DCs would’ve sat back on that last play. Banks brought pressure and it forced an INT.

How about you STFU, Brandon...

Kind of torn here--- we have a better shot at beating LSU with Tillman and I don't think it matters whether we have Tillman or not when we play Bama, that is most likely gonna be a L.... I would rather see Tillman in limited action to help secure the W at LSU and then have him sit/rest/limit against Bama (I know it sounds crazy) and have him full go for the remainder of the season...

A W at LSU gets us 5 wins early, we most likely are not gonna pull an upset with our current defense on Bama (the refs won't allow it, seriously, which is pathetic but true), but losing to LSU and then Bama the following week will be tough... Just looking at the big picture here and being realistic... Hopefully Sampson and everyone else will be full go for LSU-- don't like hearing Burrell in a sling...

Tn has a really good shot to get Bama, better than the hope you are giving them. Tn only problem is our secondary sucks. But Bama can be had and will be had. Not saying Tn will curb stomp them but they will not curb stomp Tn. We have the offense to play with them. Tn run game will need to do its part. Bamas D is not that great.

If you enjoy poker, this is worth a watch. Pretty wild lol

She gave him the money back?

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

With no Vols, what are you all excited to watch tomorrow?

Noon

UK-Ole Miss I'll be watching beginning to end. Yet to watch either team. Interested to see Dart and Kiffin without Lebby. Levis throwing picks will be fun to watch as well. Hope Ole Miss beats them up and wins by 3 TDs.


3:30

Bama-Arky. Hope it's a slobberknocker and Arky rips their optimism away from them.


Night

LSU-Auburn. Take the sentence above about Bama and paste it here about LSU.


NC St-Clemson. Cmon Wolfpack. Eff Clemson.

What in the hell is or was his problem?...what he said in that article made no sense to me.

Basically, he mention that when he came here, coaches told him he would not be starting over another player even though he deserved the playing time. Coaches playing favorites is nothing new but he was too young to understand that concept.

 

[SergeantVol]

Thanks for the notification!

Ban worthy offense, IMO…

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Man. If we go 2-1 against UK, LSU, and Bama then we’ll play UGA for the East. Anything can happen for one game right?

Go 2-1 or better vs LSU, Bama, UGA and win the rest, we're in the playoffs.

The comments. Wait until they lose lol

I've considered a 7 point teaser for Ark (+21.5) to include in a 2 leg parlay. Not sold on Alabama in a true road game scenario against a competent team. This could be 2021 Texas A&M or 2022 Texas all over again.

When he went all in he only had a 53 percent chance to win. Not nearly as good as the initial cards. I think he got caught up in the initial odds and then got pissed he lost. She should've told him to suck it instead of giving him his money back but to be honest it doesn't surprise me that she did. She won't do it when she's in her 70s but she's got a ways to go until then.

 

[Aesius]

I bet Levis has a big game against us.

But Hooker will have an even bigger game.

Beamer developed a good reputation for working with Special teams while at UT.

My problem is that I'm not sold on Arky being competent.

How would you view the DBs since WM was hired? Not sure how anyone can put a positive spin on it

see that's the problem with your ilk, it's "the spin"....who gives a crap about spin? do we have an actual understanding of what that means? lol. it's literally embellishing a fact, or facts, toward a specific point of view with the intent of either swaying opinion one direction or the other, or deflect attention away from something. so that's problem 1.

the DB's haven't been good before or since his hire. it's not like we've seen some epic downgrade in performance SINCE he's gotten here. and we had two guys here previously in head coach and defensive coordinator that most well informed people in football would tell you were great secondary coaches. and i couldn't tell you that the DB's were appreciably better than they are now.

what i have seen, in WM's previous stint here, is that he got guys like mosely and sutton to the NFL. and i think there were a couple more that wound up in the NFL under his tutelage here, and elsewhere.

right now, i don't think we have an overly talented group of DB's and we're very safety/nickel heavy, and not a lot of experience to go around. but we knew that, have known that and it probably isn't changing before the end of the season.

WM is a fantastic recruiter, and he does develop guys. but typically when he's been here, we've not gotten the cream of the crop talent, he didn't inherit any cream of the crop talent, so my suspicion is that development has taken longer than anyone likes, him included probably.

plus, corner is one of the hardest positions to play on the field, and over past few seasons we've seen a heavy shift to much improved passing games in the SEC, with some of the best QB's and WR's in college football...so while I wont' tell you we're awesome on the back end, i'm also not going to tell you that's BECAUSE of the coach that's been here, a 2nd time, now for only 16 games, and 1 full cycle off season.

Why’s he mad? It’s poker.. it’s a bluff.. I don’t get it

 

[Christian Lowe]

this guy is from East Tennessee. His YouTube career has been mostly covering the darker side of media, although his day job is being a youth pastor. Never talks sports, doubt it’s of much interest to him. Either way, you should feel at home with his outlook and personality. He’s one of us.

as for this video, any history nerds like me that are locked inside out of the rain today should give this a watch. It’s an in depth review of All Quiet on the Western Front, which is (in my opinion) the best war movie ever made. He gave a more in depth backstory to its creation than I got in History 301 in college where I first watched it. Totally worth giving him an hour of your day.

When he gets fired from SCar would gladly welcome some Beamer ball ST in Knoxville… He’ll have to do something about that face though.

 

[UTProf]

He's just throwing a fit. He got caught up in the 1st bets odds that favored him heavily like 70 percent but when he went all in the cards said he had a 53 percent chance. He is just mad that someone who looks like a Kardashian clone beat him but hell that's part of her bluff. The low cut shirt did its job.

It's. . . interesting,

It'd be something if one of these hits someday.

For further hurricane day viewings.. I recommend this New Zealand based youtuber. This is the true story of William Floyd Collins, a man who became trapped in Sand Cave, Kentucky. The story became a National sensation, eventually earning the title of most printed story in the US from 1918-1939. (Years between the wars, colloquially)
