'18 Recruiting Forum: Official Vanderbilt Pre-Game/Game Thread

Glad i took the kids to the Grinch instead of catching the game. This sounds like it’s about as bad as you could imagine.
 
He’s probably been our best linemen and was a captain today. He’s an 18-22 year old who made a boneheaded play like 18-22 year olds do.
Not saying much there. On one of our sweeps to the left I saw him get blown up 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage and put on his behind. It’s just sad to watch and frustrating.
 
Agree this is on everyone. We need a roster purge, some coaching adjustments, and recruiting and development. Everyone has to be better come next year.

On to recruiting. I would rather have a 50 man roster than have 85 with 30+ of them being fakers, wannabes and problem children. This next class will determine CJP's future along with his coaching staff to start next season.
 
This team has been completely disinterested the last 2 weeks. No want to. They were satisfied after beating UK and decided to pack it in after that. Typical Butch players. Game over at the half. We don’t have a chance, because we have a roster made up of players who could care less about this game.

I am encouraged.

I think we got this.

Just start with a score to open the half and the game is on.
 
Is this team showing the improvement everyone said we should see throughout the year?
Not today. They suck. If we don’t send guys packing then I’m done. Lack of effort is inexcusable. Do your best and get beat then ok. But this lack of effort better be rewarded with walking papers.
 
There needs to be a purge. There’s a culture problem and it needs flipped, Fulmer and Pruitt are working on it. But a bunch of players need to go.

Bob Shoop was a terrible DC here but awesome before he got to Knoxville. And he goes to Starkville, where they were used to winning for awhile, a winning culture and all of a sudden he’s a great defensive coordinator again.

Point is, I think were undervaluing culture and mindset. And how important it is and how difficult it seems to be to change quickly.
Culture was not the reason our defense sucked in 2016 lol

This game has not surprised me but i thought it would be a little closer...didnt expect zero fight. JG is so bad. Our line is worse and our linebackers worse still. Gonna be a looooong offseason fellas.
