@Bassmaster_Vol

Got any good recruiting nugs?

I know Lang commits later today. I assume we're still considered the leader. You think we have a chance at Arion Carter? Seems like we finally have a visit set up. Numbers will be interesting. Depending on how we finish, we may not have many spots for portal guys. I'm curious who we encourage to leave.

Carter was interviewed on The Zone today. He said he is still 100% a Memphis commit. Said he wants to study pre-med there. Seems like a good kid. I hope we can at least get him on campus for a visit.

Do we not offer pre-med here? I would think we do. Come here, play football, and if that doesn't work out, finish up at UT-Memphis. I think they call UT-Memphis the UT Health Science Center now. Anyway, if medicine is what he wants, we can offer him a clear path to that goal while playing football for the flagship university of his home state.

I bet TCU will be 4th.. but when you dig into the circumstances of their resume, you can definitely make a case they shouldn’t be top 4.

- They beat 4 teams who were ranked at the time of when they played, but only 2 of those teams are still in the Top 25 and both of those teams have 3 losses.
- After this past weekend, it is entirely possible that the two remaining “ranked wins” that TCU had against teams still in the CFP Top 25.. May drop out. Oklahoma State was 18th.. they lost. Kansas State was 13th.. they lost. Kansas State may stay in barely, and Kansas may land inside of the top 25 again after beating Oklahoma State this weekend. So after tonight probably either 1 or 2 of their wins will remain in the top 25.
- They had one top 10 win… that team, Oklahoma State, is about to fall out of the CFP Top 25 entirely.
- Add in the fact that of those 4 ranked wins at the time, TCU trailed in 3 of them.
- Also add in that of those 4 ranked games they knocked out the starting QB in 3 of the 4 games.
- Also should note about these QBs.. a couple (I haven’t check them all) were dirty hits. 1 of the hits actually got the TCU player ejected.

Pre-med is not even a major, it's just a path you take to try and get admitted to medical school. so in other words if you are pre-med you're actually probably a biology or chemistry major and you take a couple of extra electives outside of the major that medical schools require be on your resume. And yes, there is no U of M medical school, it is the university of tennessee health science center in memphis that has the med school, pharmacy school, etc. so saying you're going to memphis because you want to be pre med is sort of an uneducated perspective. you can be "pre-med' at any undergrad school.

I'm going to tell Marvin to unleash the illudium Q-38 dimension disintegrator on you for your correction. Although that sounds like something I suspect you would enjoy :) He told me to tell you he's tired of you obstructing his view of Venus.

To play devils advocate here, after this weekend we will only have 2 teams from our 5 ranked wins left in the CFP Top 25. To our credit though those 2 teams will be top 10, maybe top 15 depending on where Bama lands.

I will never again wait until election day to vote. I could have etched my vote in stone in the amount of time it took to get through all the lines. At least I had Volnation to peruse. You'd think by 2022, they would have a better system.

They do----it's called early voting

Long ago, when I was at UTK, we called it UT-Memphis.

We should be 4 tonight. How can you drop the number one team who lost to number three out of the top four?

UGA
OSU
Michigan
Tennessee

TCU resume is awful. Can’t wait for them to lose this weekend. I will be the biggest Texas fan Saturday. We win out after they lose and we are in.

That hit on the OU QB (Gabriel) was bad. I’ll be really surprised if they beat Texas this weekend, but even more so if they win out.

You ever notice how some fans always have to start their comment with "I'm an Alabama fan. . ." or "I'm an UGA fan. . .", like their opinion somehow means more or is better than anyone else beacuse they're a fan of a certain team?

I try to avoid conversations with jackholes, so no, I've never noticed that.
