He was on Cam Sutton as well. His DBs are more my style than the Bama DBs. LSU DBs have no argument from me though. Always top notch talent wise. But my Vols will have that NO FLY ZONE title soon with how we are loading up on the back end. And with Shoop running the show. 😁

Can't argue with you about Shoop. His DBs are always aggressive and never really out of position. Cam should be First Team SEC and get some AA looks in Shoop's system.

Not relevant to the current discussion but I was curious where you see Gaulden on the field in the fall. It doesn't look like Foreman is going anywhere from his nickel spot anytime soon, and Gaulden has been getting first team safety looks with Berry out. He's not the athlete Berry is (probably no one on the team is) but I could see him starting opposite TKjr with his nose for the ball.

Gaulden just may start at safety and we may drop him to the nickel some and play Berry just based on matchups. He still looks like a CB to me(build wise). But he's a baller that will make a lot of plays if he's on the field.

Why on earth was this bumped. Mecole played the game and was committed to Georgia the entire cycle nearly.

Edit: read some of the article maybe he really was as indecisive as he let on. Also, how could he not see himself playing at Tennessee? Because he wanted to play D and we wanted him at WR?

Yeah, encourage all to read, good article and very respectful to Tn. Talks about a great atmosphere at Tn and how it was just as hard to tell Coach Z no as it was Pruitt. Said he was just as close to Z. Honest and mature interview with MH.

it's called a new article about his recruitment and includes comments on the vols among other teams. it's always interesting to read about a recruitment no matter where a kid goes. regarding your question some guys see themselves playing in a system or a team and some don't.. every recruit is different. as a vol fan you think everyone should want to wear orange, but that's not reasonable. he liked the vol's puzzle pieces they sent him though. i thought it was interesting his comments on bama's recruitment and what pruitt told him.

Since we're digressing from the college football forum... ;-)

I remember when I moved to Bosnia in 1998 and Croatia made it all the way to the World Cup semi-finals, where they lost to eventual champion France. Man, the whole city, country, region, etc. was going nuts! I became a big-time fan.

However, I have to say I lost interest after watching all of the "dives." Players regularly flop when anybody barely touches them in order to draw a foul - especially in the penalty box (and there's no instant replay).

Now I have to say that when we lived in the UK, the English had a great Rugby team and that's a sport that I could really get into. You have big guys who never take a break so they're all in shape. Watch the Aussies and the New Zealand Kiwis if you want to see some great sporting events.

College football -esp. UT of course - remains my favorite sport to watch but getting a little exposure to other international sports is not a bad thing (unless of course you are tortured by being made to watch cricket, curling, etc.). Oh, and one more thing (per my avi), nothing compares to watching Olympic wrestling! :)

UGA fans wouldn't be so bad if they didn't gloat or strut around like they've actually accomplished something.

Yea it was a good interview. Kinda sad the kid was led astray by Jeremy Pruitt. He's not a corner. I think he struggled mightily.

If he wants to be an NFL player he should be a WR.

I have no idea what any of this means. No self respecting, red blooded American should.

I love the irony of stating a national team game is un-American.

I have zero interest in nearly every Olympic sport, but when the Olympics are on, you better believe its the most American thing there is.

That right there is red blooded patriotism.

I resemble that remark. :)

FWIW we are in an era of maybe the best young talent to ever to play the game. Jordan, Rory, Jason, Rickie, Patrick, etc. Add in the accomplished 30 somethings. Hope you are watching Feherty's show. They have been terrific this season.

Back to football. GFW with the take down on Mecole.
