Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Tennessee Golfer]

Forget center, who is going to be our designated lineman that gets “hurt” on the PAT after a quick score?

I’m going with Lampley.

 

[Weezer]

I think he and @Orangeredblooded went to the Sadie Hawkins dance together that next spring.

Wouldn't she have been a little old for him?

 

[Ten_Titans]

Is that a 70 yard throw?

No. It's 25 yards from the "50" to the end zone. That was like a 40-45 yarder by my eye.

Maybe we will flip some guys from the Gayts?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

It’s unfortunate you invested so much time and effort creating so many player threads.

Eh, it's a mindless hobby and a service to the forum which I enjoy. Kind of like the posters who copy and past premium info for others to read.

You're welcome.

Witcher think is correct? Has gone, or has went?

 

[Orange_Crush]

Geralt is such a unique character. Had the right format been done, and stayed closer to the comics. This wouldve been a massive hit.

Come on, man! Correct @InVOLuntary, and then just throw some sentence fragments around? How hard is it to use a commie... er, comma?

Morning Vol fans…..

PSA! I know we seasonally want to beat the Alabamas, Dawgs, Gators every year, but atop my list this year is the Damn GAMECHICKENS!! I have heard them boast all damn year about how they beat the brakes off us and they did.
One of my guys is a SC Alum and he has TORMENTED me all year. Even had a Custom SC cake delivered for my Birthday this past year. He’s a great guy but the rivalry in our building is INTENSE.
You would think that one win was like them winning a Natty!

So this year, thats the one game that I’m really wanting to absolutely beat them BAD and don’t let up on the “Go” pedal. I wanna hang 80 on them.

Anyways, got some good news coming soon.
Y’all have a great weekend

I have an unhealthy disdain for them as well. Of course, living in South Carolina doesn't help.

I know we all want Kensucky as our third rival (assuming Alabama and Vandy are the other two) and I would as well... but I can also see where we're developing quite the rivalry with uscjr the past decade or so. Both in recruiting and on the field.

I used to live and die by camp updates but these days it’s literally just, “player a, b, and c did not practice today, the quarterbacks threw the ball, the WR’s caught the ball, player x made a good catch and player y dropped a ball”.
I get that the media only gets one session and is limited in what they can say but this has to be the most boring updates ever.

Practice updates are only interesting with a quarterback competition going on...

Here's an oldie but goodie for ya.

 

[mrmax86]

Is that a 70 yard throw?

No, check out the field numbers. Joe threw from the 25 ish and it was caught at the 20. So, 55 field yards.

Vols Fall Practice #13

Thank you for linking this here and saving me a trip to the Football Forum. That place is scary

It was a fire for Affect, sinario.

Everyone knows Fuad Reveiz is the Vol record holder for longest field goal with his 60 yarder at Georgia Tech in 1982. But here's another FG that is truly remarkable.

The Vols' Buck Hatcher kicked a 52 yard FG against Sewanee in 1920! (No one else on the list of bests played before the 60s.)

He was honored by the New York Times as college football's outstanding kicker in 1920. He made All-SIAA (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association) that year. And was a team captain.

Hatcher also played tackle for the Vols: I'm not aware of any moderns who could claim that.

He was #218 on my list of Top 250 Vols.

Quote: "The record of Buck Hatcher is well known to all followers of football throughout the South and all over the country." Buck played four years on the varsity and was captain of the 1920 team. He played quarterback from 1915, 1916, and 1919 and moved to Tackle in 1920. He was also a star kicker and punter. In 1916, He helped the Vols to an 8-0-1 record and a SIAA Championship. He was considered the "greatest player in the country" that season. In the 1916 game vs. Sewanee, he set a record with a 52 yard FG and kicked the winning extra point and FG to beat hated Vanderbilt. In the 1919 game with Vanderbilt, Hatcher made a last minute "drop-kick" to tie Vandy 3-3. During the 7-2 season of 1920, Buck was moved to Tackle and was named to the 'Mythical" All-South Eleven Team.

Just looked him up. He also punted and played QB.
Got Peaygolfed , nevermind.

Thanks! I stand corrected.

I wrongly thought I'd found one that you missed. I should have remembered because I read them all. And if I didn't remember, I should have guessed!

That's a better write up and photo too. I was going to do that as a tribute to you in your new thread like the Jimmy Streater clip I posted, but decided to drop it here. Thanks for this better writeup.

I sure did.

Elon is removing the block feature on Twitter ...er X. Pat Forde is absolutely besides himself right now as the gate holding back Tennessee fans will open.

Keep it going! Love it.

Keep it going! Love it.

I was actually looking at longest punt returns to see Roland James' best for use here tomorrow (runner-up #14 to Eric Berry imo), when I came across that FG by accident. I should have checked your thread from last year.

 

[Orangeburst]

wonder how our Aussie punter is doing

Lol I agree.....

What about that coincidence that Lou Gehrig came down with a disease that had the same name as him, huh?

True. But Ruth did have a baby named after him.

 

[Orange.]

True. But Ruth did have a baby named after him.

I knew a couple with the last name Barr and suggested that for their Baby they choose the name Ruth. Surprised they didn't take me up on that idea. They didn't choose Candy or Singles, Ballet or Soap either. I was trying to help.
