Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[Enki_Amenra]

It's very hard for me to understand how they accomplished this, given the roster/transfers, etc.

 

[MetVol]

Still can't believe how far Heupel and this staff have brought this program in less than two full years. A lot of games still to play, but we've put up these stats against some good teams.

Ignore the caption.. why have I never seen this picture before?!?!

Do you actually need reasons

 

[Orangeburst]

Used to watch our Mud O try and score 20..flip it over and some teams like TT or UCF have 2-3 star receivers and QB's throwing darts. executing . And thinking what the heck.

 

[Weezer]

Going from potentially being 20-14 to 23-7 was pretty much ballgame, but I was feeling that a little until the huge sack.

 

[RikidyBones]

Use your dangle unless you want to get mangled. Rule #239

 

[VOLSONLY]

Incredible skill

 

[tnvols72]

Start, bench, cut: Bryce Young on Saturday will
A. Start and finish
B. Start and but does not finish
C. Not play

Does not start but Bama falls behind by 14 and Saban says screw his injury and get desperate and throws him out there and BY gets reinjured.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

my God, he turned our mascot into some demonic cringe tattoo

I saw that in my travels through India and commenced to renaming it in The Name

 

[Nash_Vol97]

So with that being said what playing field are we in now

I’m honestly not 100% sure, but LA mentioned the student code of conduct having to be involved in the case which threw a wrench in things but if it’s off campus and not a UT student, that could possibly take any school code of conduct disciplinary actions out of it which just leaves Heupel to make a decision. I could be off but that’s what I thought at least.

 

[Batman1948]

Reprehensible to punch someone that busted up in your house? You gotta be f'n kidding me...that is pure . Any real MAN would do that in the heat of the moment.

Do you really think he meant to knock him down a set of stairs to try and kill him?...come on man.

Virtue signaling ....I ain’t that virtuous...maybe you are, or maybe you're something else.

I read an article about a drunk that was killed because someone punched him outside a bar. When the drunk was punched, he fell and hit his head on concrete steps. I'm sure the guy wasn't trying to kill him but he did. Drunks say stupid sh*t and sober people get offended

 

[Vol423]

At least they understand. Some Kentucky a**hole was comparing us to f’ing South Carolina the other day.

If that was after South Carolina finished kicking their butts, then it's somewhat appropriate.

 

[Batman1948]

Hopefully his GF didn't make a statement either.

I thought she was the one who called and got him back to the apartment. If she hadn't done that, who knows where this would be

 

[Jimmy Football]

If that was after South Carolina finished kicking their butts, then it's somewhat appropriate.

Lol. I’ll only accept the comparison in that very limited capacity.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

If that was after South Carolina finished kicking their butts, then it's somewhat appropriate.

No, just no.

 

[VolGee4]

I’m going to be very careful with this, but after 17 years as an attorney, the affidavits and any reports are never really the full story. Sometimes it’s worse, sometimes it’s better. There are two sides of a situation like this. I know this is a message board, but I would caution folks to speculate.

 

[Dooby15]

On McCollough:

-AP

 

[UT = Checkmate]

He was at FL and LSU I believe

Ok good. Just seemed like in the past when he showed up we lost.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He also said he apologized when he realised his mistake and had left the apartment when he was attacked. Evidently, he was knocked down the stairs and suffered broked teeth. We're about to see if Heupel has double standards regarding these issues. My guess is that he only has one standard for everyone on the team. He will not tolerate this type of behavior. We're bout to find out

If the team thinks JM was justified and Heupel throws him away without due process...he will lose a lot of trust and goodwill. A lot of these kids already believe everyone is out to get them, and nobody cares about them. So far he has won their trust, but it could be gone in a puff if he doesn't handle it fairly.

 

[ACvol3]

Power T car flags everywhere in Knoxville already.

I’ve had a lot of “Go Vols!” At cocoa beach already this week

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I agree that excusing criminal behavior because someone is a valuable athlete is inexcusable. This story that was reported just doesn't sound right to me. Just like the Aaron Beasley situation didn't sound right from the initial report. I just hope this doesn't drag out either way.

This is where I am at. I want to hear the whole story, because that doesn't sound right to me either.

 

[Sudden Impact]

A lot of these kids already believe everyone is out to get them, and nobody cares about them. So far he has won their trust, but it could be gone in a puff if he doesn't handle it fairly.

Insightful. I for one think that Heupel is hard but fair. No way will he throw him to the wolves without Due Process. I am sure that they have already had a conversation about the incident and CJH knows the truth as to what happen and why.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He also said

That is my problem with this.

 

[Rizzo924]

Why did he tell it now?

 

[jave36]

I’m going to be very careful with this, but after 17 years as an attorney, the affidavits and any reports are never really the full story. Sometimes it’s worse, sometimes it’s better. There are two sides of a situation like this. I know this is a message board, but I would caution folks to speculate.

I mean if the goal of the message board was a clear and reasonable understanding of the situation, or if a message board had any actual bearing on the outcome of the case, your caution would be appropriate.

But I think you're casting pearls, lol
