Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Cobb was the best but Johnnie Jones was no scrub in his day just saying....

Webb...not Cobb. There is no way you saw those two play next to each other and think Reggie was as elite a runner as Chuck...and JJ was great, but he was no CW either.


Look Chuck Webb was in the elite of elites in all of CFB as a runner, so that is no knock on all the other greats we have had.

Jamal was the only other Vol RB that was in that club.

What's your biggest trigger as a Vols fan?

Kiffin isn't even a blip on my radar, and hasn't been in over a decade.

2001 SEC Championship & the 1997 Heisman Trophy get me to crying and fighting.

Speaking of Small, he's really underrated, not only in pass pro, but for the hands he has. Look at this grab of an overthrown in the Mizzou game last year.

That story is over 4 years old. Not found any details of what ended up happening.

I like Small. Plays hard and does the little things right. He doesn’t have the speed or the lateral quickness that our other backs have though.

I hope they all have great years.

Would’ve been a fun time to be on VN when the Kiffin stuff went down

I remember trying to log on and the server was gone. Memorable night

 

[ACvol3]

Where did you hear that?

From a player on the team. I guess elarbee had the room vote for who should start and Crawford got the spot over Mincey and it pissed him off

 

[JCVol00]

Say you're a troll without saying you're a troll.

Not a troll, simply making a sarcastic remark

 

[Orange.]

Mincey needs to take his frustrations out, if he has them, on defenses. Do it, Gerald!

Edit: No longer find the story credible.

Honestly, the blocked kick against Alabama in 2009. Which is Kiffin adjacent in a way.

Bama fans act like it's on their Mount Rushmore of greatest plays of all time, and it was nothing more than Lane Kiffin throwing his kicker under the bus to improve his stock.

"I would have beat Bama if our kicker would have made that kick."

Well he couldn't make that kick. And everyone knew it because he'd already been blocked. There were like 5 guys that would have blocked that kick if Cody didn't.

It was a terrible, self-serving call by a coach that was only interested in improving his position personally, not coaching to win.

So whenever I see/hear Bama fans act like it was this miraculous play and moment for their program, I just shake my head.

Kicker screwed us. Coming from a former kicker. Miss one, it happens. Miss more than one and game decided by a field goal or less, you blew it.

Can we call them USC-Midwest now?

They are and always will be USC. Blue blood program. No need for directionals.

And thus why the school in Columbia is USCjr...or call them USC East if you like. But there's USC and then there's a wannabe punk a** low rent program that deserves the postscript...

Not doubting your source, but do we really think a coach with Elarbee's level of experience is going to let the players decide who plays with a vote? Seems off.

 

[Jimmy Football]

It’s true. Tennessee is currently the leader for these three:

Can we call them USC-Midwest now?

it’s just USC or SC, no designation. Then there’s USCjr. That’s it.

I claim neither intelligence or wisdom but having the players vote seems like a poor decision to me. That's what coaches are for and seems like it's a recipe for rifts.

 

[Adam Sandler]

It’s legit.

A real player would have signed with Dukes. Levis is trash.

 

[drvenner]

Aikman is great as a color commentator!!! May be biased since he is an ex Cowboy. Romo does a great job also ...

I think Romo is one of the best. And, I hate the cowboys.

 

[drvenner]

I heard Mincey walked out of a meeting yesterday mad.. really hope he comes back

I am actually flabbergasted that you are starting a horseshit rumor considering your history of skepticism with all other previous insiders.

 

[Devo182]

Have no doubt Cobb was great and no need for a debate, but Kamara...I mean...dang. So terribly used, but is he our most successful NFL RB? Lewis was great too, but AK put on the jets the moment he stepped into the league.

Seems like a clear made up story to find the rats.
