Lol
I know right
Can’t recruit or keep players bc our nil is so bad yet most every list of nil by schools has us as one of the tops ones out there
But we/I’m a bad fan bc I can’t afford it or I have season tickets already and dont donate, etc….

you gotta be an interesting dude, or have an interesting situation to leave this baseball program, with this situation for wake forest.

your old coach literally helped pen the first page in the resume for your pro career. and you leave? for a lateral move??

Mizzou loss would be unexpected but 9-3 isn’t a bad prediction overall

Some folks seem to think we'll be looking ahead to UGA and Mizzou will upset us...but I don't see a Heupel team overlooking Mizzou. I think all the 9-3 predictions with loses to Alabama, UGA, and a random upset are all a sign that the overall perspective is that Tennessee is a good program again and that 2022 wasn't an outlier.

Public Service Announcement
If you’re the kind of person that tells another poster that “they can’t handle recruiting,” then you’re probably the same kind of poster that boomed when warm bodies like Brandon Cross and Matthew Flint committed to us.

Anyone can be a cheerleader and post homer takes all day long.

We’re all fans posting on a forum. Just because you’re fat dumb and happy with whatever happens, doesn’t mean you’ve got this Navy SEAL like fortitude when it comes to following recruiting. It just means you lack objectivity and your opinion might as well be flushed.

I’m sure this is directed to me so I’ll reply. When I say some people can’t handle recruiting, it’s not about congratulating a 3 star that just committed. That’s just a nice way to support a HS kid who committed to play for our favorite school. It’s more about situations like yesterday when Wiltfong put in a crystal ball and some people say things like the “staff can’t recruit!”

I don’t know what you do for a living, but I’m a sales professional and I’ve been in sales for over 20 years. And believe it or not recruiting IS sales. College football coaches have two main jobs, they are coaches, and they are sales people. And in sales you are going to lose much more than you are going to win that’s just the nature of the beast. It’s a numbers game. And some people can’t handle it.

I’ve seen hundreds of sales people come and go over the years. They get hired, they’re all excited they’re ready to sell and take on the world! And ultimately they can’t handle the “No’s”. It ruins their confidence and they give up. The best sales people in the world never give up, they are very positive and optimistic and people like them. They constantly follow up and persist and do their best to sell their product or service.

But in the end even the best salespeople will have a 20 to 30% close ratio. So if our staff offers and recruits 100 kids they naturally will only sign 20-30. It’s similar to baseball, the best hitters fail 7/10 times at the plate.

GBO!

But he's doing the same for UT in this game.

You can hear his excitement, Nessler's too, when Bama scores vs when TN scores. Nessler sounds like Kesling on ludes when TN scores but when Bama scores it is the inevitable!!!!

Together they were Bama homers and I for one am glad they are on their retirement Mecca to Tuscaloosa.

A good start would be to stop having 70 year olds announce football games.

No offense to you geriatrics out there.
