Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXII

[Ron Swanson]

Would love to play Michigan. Would be a great matchup of historical powers on the rise. Great for tv. And we'd kick their asses.

 

[SeanJean]

I'm not scared of any team from the Big 10, be it Michigan or Northwestern. Bring any of them on. All day.

I don't think Michigan has the speed to keep up with us. Most B10 teams don't.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Am I the only one that just saw what Ohio state did to Michigan in Ann Arbor?

 

[VolGee4]

People need to remeber how well hart did last year with this.

If he pulls that off people need to get off his rear

Hart probably gets to lobby, but SEC makes the decision.

 

[JAllen18]

Only Big 10 team that has SEC speed is Ohio St.

I agree but reports were last year that hart played a big role in the surprise of getting to go to jacksonville

Ran it down their throat. If we can run the ball like that, we win easily.

 

[VolsnCards5]

When are bowl selections finalized? Sunday after the championship games?

 

[VolsnCards5]

Ran it down their throat. If we can run the ball like that, we win easily.

And I have no doubt we would be successful running the football

Without making a statement on the Brady/Peyton debate (don't know that it's really even clear either way)...

It kills me how people point to championships in a TEAM sport as a clear marker of superiority.

If it was boxing/fighting/golfing/tennis, etc...then sure, you can make a definitive argument of who is better than whom. But otherwise, team sports are won/lost as a collective (including coaching, too), not individually.

To riff off your statement, it's proven that Brady benefited from cheating as a team and personally.

Not to mention, you can see what the Patriots did with Cassel at the helm vs. what Indy did when Manning was out. Night and day.

Michigan would be great. Another big game for our team, seniors, and fans. Best possible scenario.

Two of the best traveling fan bases in college football too.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Nobjdy cares about beating Northwestern but beat Michigan and they will flip. I want Michigan bad. You got to remember Michigan is beating up on a weak Big 10 that has freaking Iowa undefeated. TN would beat Michigan. People forget just how talented we really are.

This! I want Michigan in a bowl more than anyone else. I'm ready for our boys to show that winning 6 out of the last 7 wasn't a fluke.

No doubt. We can run the ball against anyone!

CBJ vying since he's from Michigan.

Mizzou says at 5-7 it will pass on bowl participation consideration

@edsbs
Even Mizzou's like "no, we've seen enough Mizzou football for 2015, let's just park this bus for the winter and come back in three months."

I would love to see a game with Michigan over Northwestern. Would give us a good measure of Butch against another elite head coach, regardless of the Khakis. Vols win either way.

Born there...would love that match up! :thumbsup:

 

[WhitewaterVol]

January - March in Knoxville is a pretty depressing time honestly. No snow, just cold rain and clouds.

You just need to take up whitewater paddling as a sport. Bring on the rain!

Mizzou is just an embarrassment to the SEC. Can they go away now?

I have never understood how they got here in the first place.

 

[BruinVol]

@BZSEC: Crazy that the SEC title game would be Ole Miss-Tenn. if the Rebels had stopped 4th-and-25 vs. Ark. and the Vols stopped 4th-and-14 at UF.

Hat's off to em. No reason......ever.....a 5-7 team should go to a bowl game. Get rid of a couple of them. I'd rather some 6-6 teams miss out than a 5-7 team go.

Just like Vandy did:good!:
