Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Anybody here still think Vandy is a "cupcake", and a should-be auto win this year..hatred of Vandy notwithstanding? Five wins is going to be a tough chore for this team..this year.

I hope we continue to stay healthy and improve, but the reality is that I think we will struggle mightily to win a SEC game this season. The second half of the schedule is a long ways off (obviously for both our opponents and us), but watching Vandy driving in a position to score and win the game at South Bend with a minute left against the #8 team, and with what KY and Mizz looking improved, I just don't think we have the horses this year...
I think our staff is definitely the answer this program needed, and yes, we will eventually get the talent we need to turn the corner, but I just don't think we have the depth and talent level this season. Butch did leave us a bunch of poorly coached, underdeveloped athletes that can still be coached up and be a force, but it won't be this season. Sure there are plenty of bright spots and some really good individual talent, just not enough collectively to get us over the hump in '18... we just need to grind this season, stay as healthy as possible, continue to grow and improve each game, and hope we can still get some good, solid, upgraded talent to sign with us in this next class.

Watching the last 5 mins of that game I do appreciate what Butch did in that game. Eff the mess he left but that was good times.

It was an epic moment for the program

I don't see anything wrong...he needs to lose a few pounds

Or add a few pounds instead.

Mos' definitely!

 

[volinbama256]

I will say again, I sure hope this staff is calling, texting, and visiting Wanya Morris every single freakin day...

 

[rekinhavoc]

Notre Dame is football royalty and gets ranked every year to gin up excitement . I wouldn't read too much into Vandy's stellar performance in a loss to them.

 

[LA Vol]

It would have been a better tune-up if the opponent had been a little tougher. Too many mental mistakes and not enough fire and intensity. The team wasn't fully focused because they didn't have to be. Frustrating mentality, but it lingers.

 

[NMVol]

You boys up in here seemed to have forgotten what smashmouth football looks like.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

So it looks like Bama will hang half a hundred on us by halftime with our secondary. Anyone think Saban will keep it modest for Pruitt?

 

[T Dog]

He will be there coach for a while. They will love him for that attitude.

Nope

No. I think he'll empty the bench and we'll see third-stringers show out.

Saban would break his own mother.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Gonna be Saban and Urb duking it out in the playoff again IMO. I don't see anyone beating Alabama though. Absolute machine.

 

[LA Vol]

The sooner Saban breaks all the records and puts them firmly out of reach, the sooner he'll retire. An undefeated season and another couple NCs should do it. So I'd rather Bama just go ahead and win while UT struggles back to relevance and let UT be strong when Saban winds down.

 

[LaagerVol]

I remember listening to interviews of Florida "student athletes" back in the day and wondering how they completed college coursework when they obviously couldn't read See Spot Run unassisted.

To be fair, unassisted is a pretty big word.....

Undefeated on the year, and no one gets within 10.

I don’t like to use words like “hate”, but my love tank is bone dry towards them

Could you imagine if he coaches another 20 years?

 

[LaagerVol]

Bama had 19 offensive plays in the first quarter, scored 28 points only ONE drive last more than 69 seconds. It was a 6 play 62 yard drive that lasted 2:25. They can literally do it all

 

[millst987]

Are we sure that Franks kid from UF is even human?

 

[rjd970]

With what time Saban has left coaching, plus the leftover dominance after he retires, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Bama win 20 in a row over us. Let that sink in.

 

[MockingVol]

Don’t jinx us man. I imagine it would go something like this

That's been my sentiment for about 3 years now. Not seeing the light st the end of the tunnel anytime soon tho sadly. He's gonna beat everyone to an oblivion as long as possible. Modern day Caesar!

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't think the Bama dynasty ends with Saban' s retirement. It's more about the system he has in place.
