Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXII

[ATC_VOL]

Taking my tab at the schedule with a glimmer of optimism

Game 1 - App State
Game 2 - Virginia Tech*
Game 3 - Ohio
Game 4 - Florida
Game 5 - @South Carolina or Missouri
Game 6 - @Georgia
Bye
Game 7 - Alabama
Game 8 - Missouri or @South Carolina
Game 9 - Tennessee Tech
Game 10 - @Texas A&M
Game 11 - Kentucky
Game 12 - @Vandy


Hope they don't have UF, UGA and A&M all before the bye in a row....

My guess is

Appy St
Virginia Tech
Ohio
Florida
@UGA
@ A&M
Bye
Bama
@USCe
TN Tech
UK
Mizzou
@Vandy

I'm just glad it's coming out. About to pick vacation days and now I don't have to guess.

I'm pretty sick of having the #1 SOS the first 7 games and #100 the last 5. Spread it out for crying out loud.

It's awful. We need to move that UF game back to the back end of the schedule.

Agreed it would make for a better contest,

 

[BigZiti09]

Oh man. A buddy I work with is freaking out if Kiffin gets the Miami job. He's from Miami a huge Cane fan. Says the program will get destroyed if they hire Kiffin. NCAA sanctions, constant cheating and he absolutely hates the guy.

Remember when everyone was excited about the guy a while back? He's flat out a cancer to any team now. Amazed at how that guy consistently fails upward. Grateful to have stability in our program now. We went through a brutal stretch..

Cheating is the path to success for Miami. Kiffin would be a good hire for them. They would have success then get hit with penalties and cycle back down.

 

[unioncityvol]

My guess is

Appy St
Virginia Tech
Ohio
Florida
@UGA
@ A&M
Bye
Bama
@USCe
TN Tech
UK
Mizzou
@Vandy

I like this getting Florida at home and likely 3-0.
Also bye and Bama at home. As favorable a schedule as we've had.

Appy St

@USCe

Who made the law that we have to play South Carolina, Missouri, Vandy and UK all in November?

Seriously give me Vandy week 3, UK week 5, Mizzou week 6 and SC week 8!

Haha. Good point on the cheating. Just think it's crazy anyone would consider Kiffin for a head coaching job ever again. He failed miserably at his dream job USC. He's just a decent coordinator..

You gotta remember, since Grier will be suspended the first half of next season, they'll probably move the Florida game to the second half of our schedule. Just like the SEC...

September
Wk1) App State (locked in)
Wk2) Virginia Tech at Bristol (locked in)
Wk3) @South Carolina
Wk4) Florida

October
Wk5) BYE
Wk6) @Georgia
Wk7) Alabama
Wk8) Ohio
Wk9) @Texas A&M

November
Wk10) Tennessee Tech (locked in)
Wk11) Mizzou
Wk12) Kentucky
Wk13) @Vanderbilt

I want another SEC team before Florida, but I still don't mind them earlier in the season.

A BYE right before murderer's row would be nice.

Alabama actually happening the Third Saturday in October.

And a murderer's row that actually has a tune-up game thrown in, instead of four straight tough games.

End the season with momentum going into a bowl.

Anyone else feel like the schedule is locking into a permanent pattern? Guess this year will decide.

That's how it's been since at least 2009 or so.. Manageable September, difficult af October, then an easy November.

 

[DD4ME]

Looking at the slate of games we have 10 would be a good year. Anything higher is gravy. 9 is meh and anything less is bad.

Have been a couple small changes lately. Last year we had UGA before Florida. And this season UK and USCe switched places. Still nothing major though.

True UGa before UF would be one outlier. Otherwise i see UK USC as comparable flips strength of schedule wise now.

 

[RikidyBones]

knowing how the sec office always does things and frontloads our schedule it will probably look more like this.

Game 1 - app state
game 2 - virginia tech*
game 3 - @texas a&m
game 4 - florida, bama double header
game 5 - @georgia
game 6 - ohio
bye
game 7 - @chicago bears
game 8 - @south carolina
game 9 - tennessee tech
game 10 - missouri, @ne patriots double header.
Game 11 - kentucky
game 12 - @vandy

[DD4ME]

tex a&m in year two of Chavis will be a tough out.

 

[DD4ME]

I wish we had Vandy and UF flip once every few years. Would give more appeal to both matchups.

 

[ob79]

tex a&m in year two of Chavis will be a tough out.

Unless we're forced into a lot of 3rd and longs, then we're golden.

Catbone be like:


Come on, three pro teams is a little extreme!

 

[volssam]

And as long as we keep them in 4th and shorts we are good, too.

 

[snowvols]

Siap: Atlanta radio saying rumors abound that Faton Bauta will start at QB vs UF.

Also reporting UF DC Geoff Collins is leading candidate for UCF job.

Georgia wins

 

[RikidyBones]

Georgia wins

I felt that way for a few weeks now despite the Missouri game.

 

[unioncityvol]

I think Florida wins. Load the box. Defense gets it done imo.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Georgia wins

Yep
