Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

Hold your horses..some teams will be a lot better in just a few weeks..some that you think are impressive will fall flat.
Week 1 is no body of work.

Yeah Florida won their first few last year including us...then imploded

And every game has its own flavor. Too many variables for that Florida performance to be repeated. Weather, opponent’s strengths/weaknesses. Tape on each other. It won’t be the same every week. Shoot… same game, same time, same weather and Utah may win that easily.

I think I might trademark "Billion Dollar Band" and "Trillion Dollar Band". Inflation's gonna make Million Dollar Band sound like "Ten Cent Band".

How much money would it would it take today to remake a Steve Austin?

This is a rather good read..Always thought Lee was a UT fan...just a Johnny Majors fan

I don't like it either...you guys know how bad I hate all of this moneygrubbing ...but I disagree with you on one thing, if you refuse to do what it takes to help the cause, then don't bitch about recruiting not going well because we can not afford great talent.

It is f'n ridiculous for people that refuse to help, to then gripe when our coaches can't sign elite talent...I honestly don't understand how you can even debate that.

It is different if you just CAN'T help, but you should still understand why recruiting elite players is tough with little money.

All I am saying is you can't have it both ways.

You can still be a fan and hope for greatness. I try not to bitch too much either way. I fail sometimes.

Florida, Bama, Georgia, Pitt will all be top 15 teams when we play them. When’s the last time we have beaten a top 15 team?

2022, about four times.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Alright! SEC officials!

Oh, wait. SEC officials.

It all depends on if they (SEC office) finally decide to stop holding us down for Bama, UGA and UFs sake.

A real Tennessee program is bad for those programs...and the SEC has heavily invested in Bama and UGA...they used to do that for UF before UGA finally grew into the powerhouse they always should have been.

Over-reactions after Week 1 happens every single year. Some more will shake out after Week 2, but there will still be teams that improve significantly, beginning Week 3 or even later and teams that look like World beaters after Week 2 who completely fall off the table.

Florida is a prime candidate for a mid-season swoon. They’re razor thin at multiple positions.

If what NashVol posted is true, then the rest is moot. As long as it isn't crap we were fed in Neyland last year, it will be worlds better...

They absolutely quit trying at all...they were a much better team than their record.

I am not saying a very good-great team by any stretch, but they were better than the record they put up.

I know that, but that is not what I was saying.

That was a lot easier when the idiots were in charge. Our new leadership garners respect.

 

[VolInDayton]

I don't believe that.

And the hype now is getting wild.

We actually have the ability now to be really scary and it’s kinda cool just falling under the radar a little bit. Let those guys have the hype.

 

[jakez4ut]

Getting the band back together? Lol. I hope this isn't fake

 

[Ten_Titans]

I actually believe this. Kids these days will take the time to go through IG and try to hand delete everything that bums them out before they just take a break from it altogether lol.

While delightful, Mr. West is an established...um...fake.

 

[LadyVolette]

Why does the media love Beamer so much? I don’t get it. Lol

This was an eye opening quote from the article linked below.
“the Vols have not won a nonconference road game since the 2010 season, when they beat Memphis 50-14.

As fun as it would be, Butch is still the HC at Arkansas State

Definitely not how kids back in nineteen hundred and aught nine handled their instagram! Kids back then had spine and they did not care if someone sub tweeted them! The only ratio that mattered was the ratio of communicable diseases one had compared to the number of probable wild animal attacks.

It's probably true although a little misleading. We've won neutral site games during that time frame. To me those are road games.

Okay!
