Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Orange.]

Frustrating baseball game. Our defense is killing us.

I don't know the time limit on practices, but whatever it is, can't we work double plays the entire practice one day?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Also, I find it slightly amusing remembering the number of people who on the BasketVols, completely wrote them off, and made references to "I am just waiting to watch winning baseball, they won't let me down," statements.

Grass is always greener.

I believe BaseVols will get it sorted, though.

I'm over the baseball team. Football just around the corner.

Would Bo Jackson be in the NFL and MLB hall of fame if he hadn't been injured?

Football, probably.............................MLB, not a chance

I say vice versa. He loved baseball and would have stopped his part time “hobby” well short of HOF candidacy imo. We forget just how great he was at his first love. With a fake hip he was still launching homeruns.

Was reading an article about how garb Florida looked in their Spring game (lol, **** Florida) but this caught my eye:

> The new name, image and likeness entity, Florida Victorious, had a strong presence, two days after its launch. The group — which supplanted the Gator Collective as Florida’s main NIL organization — had advertisements displayed on the video boards and played commercials shortly after the gates opened and during the first timeout. Napier started his postgame news conference by thanking the group for sponsoring the game. That all seems like a sign of alignment in a space that will be pivotal to the program’s future.

Are we planning to have something this visible or similar at the the O&W game/in the future? @WillAtSpyre

@cHiZzLeVOL is having a freaking stroke right now

I turned my tv off after that disaster

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

This does suck but let’s keep in mind we have played 3 top 5 teams in a row (not counting next week). We wouldn’t play that tough a stretch until Omaha (if even there)

Blah. Nothing excuses all the errors being made. As a pitcher how can you pitch without being able to trust the fielders behind you…..

You are worried about anything being put into play……

If the same dudes keep making errors I say you switch said individual(s). I mean at some point you have to do something. I don’t care how good their bat is…. We are losing because we can’t field for crap.

That's at 2b. He's often involved some how. Change up 2b and see if it sparks some focus into him.

Baseball is all about stats. Bo Jackson’s stats say he was good, not great, and nowhere close to HoF.

I know his story…and his stats. We’re talking “what if”. With a functioning hip, this was a transcendent athlete who loved the game. 1989 (his All-Star season) was an indicator of the player he was bound to be. And he would have at least plied his trade to his late 30’s/early 40’s. Increase his average a tad along with his power and defensive elite prowess? That’s at least as good as Kirby Puckett…and far away from “no way”. I was no fanboy of Bo. That “Bo knows” ad campaign annoyed me at the time. Age has a way of making one recognize the greatness witnessed in a lifetime.

I remember people saying they were done for the football season in the 2nd quarter vs Pitt saying the team clearly had no fight and wasn't "it".

 

[Devo182]

Wth did I just watch?

To their credit, that team won that game when a lot of past Tennessee teams we've watched would have lost it. Same for the Florida and Alabama games.

It's Gameday Morans!

The football transfer portal opens today, I believe. I wonder if we'll lose anyone? Not 100% sure, but I believe to take anyone, we'd have to lose some. Think we're right at the 85 when you count the summer enrollees.

And people complain about Butch Jones spring games….

Bra says we will lose some folks, AP took under at 3.

SIAP how can I watch the spring game? Have YouTube tv and espn plus

Yep….. maybe if he dedicated himself to it full time…. He never reached a .900 ops…. Didn’t walk…. Struck out a lot…only had a slugging % above .500 one season…. Best athlete that I have ever seen though.

ESPN + I think that’s what I seen last night
