Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Vols4us]

HH has left quite the legacy. He's right, we will all look back and say that's when it happened, the exact moment with this team. They have the honor for life.

McKenna with a wee bit of water gets my vote.

Huge game for Squirrel. Clemson is going to score, there's nothing that we can do about that at this point. Our defense is what our defense is. If Joe and Squirrel can answer every Clemson score blow for blow (Hooker/Hyatt vs Bama) then we'll put a ton of pressure on their young QB.

 

[CAVPUT]

Any time you bring in someone from the portal, you risk losing someone in his position group. That's just college ball now days

But if we upgrade what are we losing or loosing in peay's world.

Kiffin takes a L we all win… 8-5 for Kiffin is very indicative of what he is as a coach. Mediocre.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Gah those Bama game quotes.

And this moment too.

Gotta admit I'd have taken him when Pruitt got the axe. Guess I'm having a bit of crow as an appetizer and hope my main course comes after tonight's game.

 

[VolNash17]

Lloyd is a very good back. His issue is staying healthy. Which is an attribute itself people tend to overlook

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I've really started disliking night games.

Having to wait all day, watching these slow azz offenses piddle around like they're playing tiddly winks...this ain't real football. Give pure octane 100 Heupel fuel fired real football or give me death!!

8 more hours

McKenna 10 for sure

 

[Nash_Vol97]

lessons for next season:

Buddy of mine in the league we play lost in the second round of the playoffs last week by 2 points because his opponents kicker got 16 points.

He was PISSED.

 

[Devo182]

What are yall’s thoughts? Score predictions?

If HH + Hyatt + Banks could play:
UT - 42
Clemson - 28

If just Banks could play:
UT - 31
Clemson - 28


As-is:
UT - 30
Clemson - 34

From a Tier 1 talent perspective - this is simply not the 2022 Vols. It is what it is.

But even as a 4 pt underdog, we still win almost 40% of the time (38.1% historically). We have plenty of a chance to win. We absolutely need to be disciplined. Can't shoot ourselves in the foot as we did in our 2 losses. Being a neutral game should help.

Gbo!

Finally nutted up and got a record player (with USB/pre-amp for direct sampling too ).

I'm thinking Nina Simone live albums would sound fantastic on vinyl. What are some others y'all think would be enhanced off a record player?

Nickelback

 

[Orange_Crush]

Nickelback

So this is how you remind us of what we really are, huh?

I left Cobb out of my post because his story is such a tragedy. I was a 12 year old kid when he got booted from the team. I didn't understand how powerful drug addiction could be until I got much older. He was one of my favorite players ever and I still have a football signed by him. It was heartbreaking to see my hero go down like that.

He's 100% top 10

I was right there with you man. It made no sense to me at the time and really wish it had played out differently for him.

 

[Devo182]

Kind Of Blue
Giant Steps
Dark Side of the Moon
Sgt Peppers
White Album
Zeppelin IV
House of the Holy
Rumours
Whats Going On
Here My Dear
Hot Buttered Soul
Aja

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

I think that all of those are good, but would also benefit from the enhanced quality of vinyl

I recognize the artists behind:
DSOTM (this would sound unreal )
Sgt Peppers
White Album
Zep (duh)
Rumours
Aja
That Kanye album

Who are the others?

Omari loves CRG. I doubt he leaves with just one year left.

I'm good with whatever the coaches decide at RB. If they want Lloyd, good. If they don't, I'm still good.

Omari and Small are like brothers and have grown up together. If Omari thinks they screwed over Small by bringing in Lloyd, then all bets are off on him staying.

That being said, I think the conversation should move away from Small because I doubt he would leave...the person I replied to was focusing on Small so I was replying to that. I think the guy that likely leaves is Wright. My own opinion is that he's the best back on the team right now and got better as the season progressed. He showed he could be physical and break tackles, had good vision, can make guys miss, pass protected well, has good acceleration and pretty good speed. I'm not sure Lloyd is good enough to risk losing Wright.

I trust whatever Heupel decides, but if he knows that Lloyd coming in would mean Small, Wright, or Sampson hits the portal...then I wonder if he would make that move. We'll see.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

I doubt Big O would leave due to Small leaving

You don't know how close they are.

 

[Devo182]

Are you trying to say us old timers had it right all the time?

Can't beat analog.

 

[Devo182]

I really don’t like watching Tennessee football with friends and extended family. Folks want to small talk and I have a hard time caring what other people are saying.

100%

I CANNOT watch UT football with anyone else, barring a party of 100% vol fans that get it and shut up and only speak to cheer and make angry comments toward the tv.

I've met a lot of people like that. My wife doesn't get it, but she's boarded up in the other room in her cage, so I've got it covered.

He's already had major knee surgery and did miss considerable time this season. I have a hard time seeing him being a fit for Tennessee, but I don't know all the details or what the coaches are looking at. Seems like Lloyd is looking for a place where he can play one more season, be the guy, and jump to the NFL. With Tennessee splitting carries a lot, I kind of wonder how it's a fit from Lloyd's perspective. We'll find out soon enough. I'll pull for whoever is on the field.

 

[yourstruly23]

gahhhhhh

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Marshawn Lloyd isn't worth it if his addition causes one of our backs to leave

Yes he is.

Why not get better?
