Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yeah he's really good football player number 1007593 that was a TN fan growing up that we missed out on because of all the idiots that were in charge.

Was that under Pruitt or Butchs last year?

Oregon is proof that the rankings are absolutely bogus.

We were playing vanilla Thursday and we are clearly better than a number of ranked teams I'm seeing.

Especially offensively of course. We are way better at that than basically everyone.

I like it. I wish it was allowed to happen more often. I'd love to see Tennessee and Alabama play with the classic red and orange jersey matchup more often.

Tennessee has asked many times. Saban has always said no.
if both teams don’t agree and the visitors wear dark uniforms anyway, they forfeit one time out.
to me, it would be worth it the next time we play in Tuscaloosa.

I'm not sure. But I feel like we missed the most under Butch.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

How lucky are we that we have to play two of the best teams in the country every year. Said it a million times, W/L record is very dependent on your schedule. I’m ready for realignment and let everyone have harder schedules.

Pruitt

 

[De La Cloobs]

Hopefully that won't happen again. I have faith Heupel is smart enough to keep Tennessee fans playing for Tennessee.

We have truly had idiots in the coaching and AD rooms for the past decade. I'm glad that's over with.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Defense going from being generational to just elite. And They’re tight ends are insane. Definitely going to be tough. Think we compete deep into the fourth.

We’ll score 30 plus against them

 

[IhateGA]

All UGA needed was a coach and staff that could convince the best high school players in the talent rich state of Georgia to stay home. They have done that. Sigh.

They are getting the best players across the whole country, not just Georgia.

Refs trying to help Frost keep his job. 2 bad calls back to try and keep ND from scoring

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Well if some of our fans were Georgia’s they would be saying they are worried about the offense because there were no explosive plays.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

North Dakota has tied it up with Nebraska 7-7 right before the half.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

North Dakota ties it up with nebraska.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Frost loses this game and it’s over for him. Holy sh*t they are bad.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Nebraska!

 

[jakez4ut]

You gotta be really good to make these playoffs. Importance of regular season games will only intensify.

Top 12? It will for some,sure.

I wish there would have been a12 team playoff all along...Would have made all those games we lost to Florida or bama a lot easier to take.

We'd of made such a playoff more than half the time between 85 and 2008.

There's also just a huge gap between the top 3-4 and everyone else.

UGA was a multi TD favorite for a reason.

They've recruited similar to Bama for years now, despite some thinking they'll take some big step back regardless of their talent...it seems naive to think they won't continue to be near the top of teams imo. Just too much raw talent.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Remember when Scott Frost was the next "big thing"? I member.

 

[jakez4ut]

So, what are we thinking about Bo Nix? He good or nah?

Nah

 

[drvenner]

Jury is still out

 

[JCP201]

Not really feeling this weeks AP rankings. Edit: What Planet Volunteer said.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Not really feeling this weeks AP rankings.

Preseason rankings have always been a joke.

 

[ACvol3]

I’m betting we will be ranked #23 next week

We'd of made such a playoff more than half the time between 95 and 2008.

There were seasons that we were top 2 and lost to Florida…and vice versa. Best teams didn’t win the championships after we’d eliminated each other in the SEC. It’s why Roy Kramer took so much heat with the conceptualization of the SEC Championship Game.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Anyone watched the "Untold" on the gambling ref?

I've generally rolled my eyes at the thought of conspiracy theories per refs acting unfairly toward teams in-game, and the conspiracy theories about leagues/conferences pressing to favor certain teams, but now I think it's probably actually a thing.

Next thing I know, I'll wake up and Santa will be dead.

It's sad that people like you are why they have always gotten away with it.
