Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[Jack Burton]

Watson Brown told Basilio that we’re involved with Sam Hartman. What “involved” means is not clear yet. Florida is as well.

...wow...you doing a McGill impression?

I may or may not have thought about what you might say when I was crafting that post.

Would be a darn shame if purdue hired Tim Banks…

This can’t be real.

 

[drvenner]

Trade that #5 for the Missouri game and we're talking.

We'll just make it a Top 10 and call it a day.

I can see why so many people have been talking about White Lotus. Only 2 episodes in, but very entertaining so far.

UT is in full-on win championships mode. DW meets with the HCs and asks them what they need to win championships. They tell him, and he goes to work making it happen. UT is already invested in master plan upgrades, facility renos and providing the resources programs need to win now. Capital improvements take a while because they have so many moving parts and involve third-party input that can bog down the process, But the needs of every marquee sport are being addressed, and the coaches are on board. Women's sports need to get back on track, but football, MBB and baseball are in good shape-- and in good hands.

I don't know any of the details on how he lured the Men's XC coach away from Notre Dame but that program will be relevant on the national scene (as it was in the early - mid 90's) very soon.

Bad for UK, so funny for us.

Outstanding!

All I want for Christmas is for anyone but UGA to win the National Championship and at this point I don't care at all about The Heisman (just not Stetson Bennett).

Woah…..selling beer in a stadium….caused more unruly fans to appear? Wait what!?!?! How could we have seen this coming. I am SHOCKED that this happened. I can totally understand why Knoxville wants to stop selling beer at games. They never could have predicted it would affect people’s behavior.

There is actually some data out there that suggests the levels of intoxication at sporting events is less when the venue sells beer. When they don't sell beer, people either get extra drunk before going in, or they sneak in liquor. Expensive beer and long lines to procure it actually lessen the overall drunkness of the crowd vs encouraging extreme drunkenness by prohibiting beer sales. Even if you constantly re-entered the beer line the minute you finished your beer, you'd only be able to drink 7 or 8 over the course of the game, and you'd spend a fortune.

That said, no matter what you do, there will always be some extreme drunks no matter what you do. I think blaming beer sales is a lazy excuse for that, and prohibiting beer sales definitely won't reduce the number of extreme drunks. Those people are going to get hammered no matter what your policy is.

I think Brohm is a good coach. It's hard to have any level of success at Purdue, and I think he's pretty much done as well as anyone could there. Curious to see if he can go to the next level with Louisville.

So what is it about UT that makes the rest of the country hate the Vols so much?

"That is all in your head, there is no conspiracy against all things Vol...take off your tin foil hat and quit being silly"...

Signed..Blind Vol fans living in Fairplay Fantasyland

My 6 years at UT I saw more kids getting carried out on stretchers than I needed to because they’d slam liquor before and be absolutely dunzo by the second quarter

 

[Christian Lowe]

That’s his dad (per you), not him. His dad can seek a convo with anyone he wants to.

Agreed. The back channel BS is what makes it the Wild West

 

[MarcoVol]

Wait, so our RBs are good? Would never know reading VN.

 

[Volnut]

Would be a darn shame if purdue hired Tim Banks…

It would also be a shame if they hired Brian Hartline.

We use to get a pint of gin, pour in a Big Gulp with Sprite and walk right on in.....but that was many moons ago.

Hartman is okay. My worry is he leaves WK and looks like a significantly different QB outside of Clawson's system. I'd rather just ride out with what we have.

 

[TrippieRedd]

can't take beer away from our home.

Five episodes in and it’s better than the first season imo. And I liked the first season.

Who is Watson Brown and how would he know who are and aren’t involved with?

 

[ChattownVFL]

bring Dallan home

 

[Aesius]

Who is saying they aren't good? We've said all along that we could upgrade with some home-run hitters at the position. Hilarious to see you just sit around and invent things to get upset/self-righteous about.
