I'm not sure what else can be done. Unless we use high pressure sales to close these guys.

I dont forsee that happening, bc they are so loaded at WR.

That’s true… usually it’s best to follow recruiting around September/October. It gets really interesting around there. Although it’s kinda weird after seeing what Tennessee did with guys with a clear talent cap we don’t see a lot more momentum with the elite receivers. Landing Matthews would be one of those signings that would do the trick. Open the flood gates so to say. Kinda like Julio for the gumps back in the day

 

[VolNash17]

I can’t imagine the offense with Nico/Matthews level talent everywhere. Heupel killed everyone except Georgia with the mid level guys. Unstoppable with the upper level guys. That’s what makes the potential so exciting

Would be great if we got a couple recruits to shut it down after the 16.

I think it was smart to have officials later in the month because so many recruits were on campus on memorial day weekend.

Watching other teams have their run sucks, but it will be worth it the last 2 weeks of the month.

Is there a dime's worth of difference between Virginia and Georgia Tech though? Really?

Yes there is. GT has pedigree in being a former SEC team. They shared a NC in 1990.

I don't see how that helps the argument that our out of conference schedule this year is better than Georgia's out of conference schedule this year then.

Our OOC schedule is Virginia (Nashville), Austin Peay, UTSA and UConn
UGA's OOC schedule is @Georgia Tech, UT Martin, Ball State, and UAB

The main difference is we play Virginia in Nashville and they play Georgia Tech in Atlanta. I would agree with you that historically, Georgia Tech is a better program than Virginia but in modern times they are both pretty much also-ran ACC programs, neither of whom, year to year, is a lot better than the other.

@Glitch, he teed it up for you.

 

[drvenner]

Don't underestimate Auburn. Freeze can coach.

He is going to fail at Auburn.

Is there a dime's worth of difference between Virginia and Georgia Tech though? Really?

Virginia is 56% women whereas GA tech is 38% female - that’s certainly more than a dime’s worth if you’re a 18-23 year old male!

 

[drvenner]

Bad things come in 3.

Fountain monday
Super regional tuesday
What happens today?!

The newspaper reports that Dewey won the election when he actually lost?

 

[drvenner]

That would be a disaster. Total disaster. Although knowing how things go for Tennessee it would make all the sense to end up happening like that as sad as it is.

That curse is long since lifted. Time to shed that BVS.

UTSA is a top 25 team

Boom

Our schedule is harder

 

[MoCo_Vol]

They played ole miss last year in supers. How much of that much success was due to playing their instate big brother. Also lost 10-0 and 5-0 to them.

True point, two in-state teams for a super makes you wonder who really brought the crowd/energy.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Don't underestimate Auburn. Freeze can coach.

Dont have the horses though and hopefully he never does. Nevee cared for auburn

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

I have a hard time seeing Hugh Freeze fail at Auburn sadly.

Unless he starts calling escorts again he will win there no doubt.

Well, I don't know how tough any of those teams are or will be, I know that no one schedules them for a tough game, they are scheduled for an easy win. If UTSA turns out not to be an easy win this year, which may be the case (I don't know, I don't profess to keep up with their roster or their league), that's just our terrible luck. I do maintain however that there is not any real difference in the quality of programs between Virginia and Georgia Tech at the moment, and that's what the guys I was responding to originally had said and implied.

 

[Glitch]

We have the best fans in the world.

I remember watching that game on tv and commenting to my wife about how loud our fans were. You could very clearly hear the UT chants and the joyous sounds of Rocky Top on a regular basis.

 

[Glitch]

Tiger Stadium is supposed to be more intimidating than Neyland?? I guess if you look at it as Neyland SW, then yeah, I agree.

We took their souls early with the opening kick off fumble recovery and almost immediate TD. Then we stepped on their necks the rest of the game. No opportunity for them to flex.

Yeah they're both equally horrible. But yeah UTSA will be good. Probably don't have enough to stop us at all on defense though. But their QB is really good.
