Why would we get slotted to the Cotton instead of the Sugar?

I think LSU would have to win the SEC title in this scenario and get the auto slot after missing the playoffs. That or they’re projecting we’ll drop one of these last 3. Not sure.

If UGA is going to drape themselves all over our guys...them Hendon needs to throw it that direction to force the refs to make the call. Most people don't see what is happening down field.

100% agree. It's the patterns that make a difference. Heup called a bunch of stop type routes of 5-8 yards, especially the outside. Need to call more primary targets between the hashes on slants, digs, crossing, skinny posts, etc. Subject to d-coverages of course. The d-backs are fully seen inside. No excuses not to call it.

The next time we see them will be with a non-SEC officiating crew.

VFL Game Challenge:

Okay, anyone who is not going to the Tennessee Missouri game this Saturday.
I challenge all of you to do 7 pushups for each touchdown Tennessee scores this Saturday. 3 pushups for each field goal.
For the ultimate VFL fitness game challenge, add 100 body weight squats along with the pushups for each Tennessee score.

Anyone up for the challenge? I’m going to do both.
Great way to get your body flowing and support your Volunteers!

13-1

I'm not trying to throw up my $15 Petro's on everyone around me, so I'll pass

I don't believe he said that, we're just imagining it. ESPN loves us.

You are a reasonable person. I am sure that is all that it is.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Aww, that's cute - they're ready for Neyland because they handled the atmosphere at South Carolina just fine.

@jpope9 approves.

They clearly want you to change your screenname to 22CottonVol, duh.

Beautiful shots...I wish I could go back in life, and instead of wasting my twenties on stupid stuff I would take some photography courses and traveled and really got into tbe hobby. I get some great shots, and I know I have a good eye...I see potential shots that most people don't, but I don't know how to use the tools to get potential shots..plus I can't afford them, it is an expensive hobby...lol.

VERY expensive hobby. For a decent body and quality lens (spend the $$ on the glass), you're in the $1,500-2k range easy. Wish I could do more photography. I really enjoy it but I'm just too busy in life and too cheap to upgrade from my SLR to a mirrorless Canon.

So we lose both Warren and Fant next year at TE. What are our TE/RB plans going forward? Are we working the portal or reg. recruiting?

Talent matters. Stars are a secondary effect and only matter when they are an accurate measure of talent.

Yeah, so where is the talent? Apparently it's mostly in the 5 star group, then 4 star group and less talent is in the 3 star group.

Warren is coming back.

Warren can come back bc Covid year, can’t he? Or has it been stated he’s definitely leaving?

Star ratings are recruiting service opinion of talent. For the most obviously talented, they get it right, but their opinions are not the final arbiter of talent. Coaching staffs are the consumers of talent, and obviously have an even greater interest in identifying talent. Sometimes a staff sees something in a player that wasn't obvious to others, which is why most of the top teams take some 3* players every year.

Chase talent, not stars. Most times, stars are reflective of talent, but not always.

It wouldn't surprise me if Ethan Davis plays a lot next year, and then someone posted that they wouldn't be surprised if Hudson Wolfe doesn't end up a Vol, so my guess is those two.

Warren is coming back.

Good. I saw him on someone's Senior Day list and assumed that meant he was gone.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Think how great Tony Vols can recruit once the new Baseball Facility is finished next year

 

[VflPT22]

Several on this list will be back

Echols is a 5* TE.

Glass, glass, glass. I am in the same boat, if I go mirrorless I am going all in and you're talking 10k with lenses. I'd suggest to anyone start small and you can get a good 50mm lens for nothing. Fool around and see if you really are into it

I think he is 2024
