Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[VolGee4]

Man, he shot over 80 in his match saturday morning. He can’t say anything. He was part of the problem.

Yea, but he was 6-1-2 coming into this year and ended up winning his match on Sunday. Most of the U.S. team were not playing well coming into this year's matches (except Tiger and he has played alot the last 6 weeks).

tl;dr - Arky signed one 4 star and four 3 stars out of the state of TN. None of them have amounted to much at all.

Speaks more about how broken the Rivals ranking systems are than anything else.

I believe Butch ended up being correct on Chase Hayden. People roasted him for it, but he was suited better for the slot than as a RB.

This year, I think Shamar Nash is the only one that we would think about taking but in on other really good WR's.

One! The last game against a 2-10 Kentucky team. I bet we could have beaten UK last year if they were a 2-10 team.

Butch couldnt win one. That means Lyle Butch Jones has the worsr record in the history of TN Football, worse than fooley.

Well, I am not sure how that has anything to do with team speed. Just because last year's team went 0-8 doesn't mean they were automatically slower than Dooley's team.

Plus, if you want to get technical, Chaney was the interim coach for that win. Dooley didn't win one either. He went 4-6 that year. That was an awful Kentucky team that lost to Western Kentucky. Just not sure why this is all relevant to team speed. Dooley's last team was so damn slow.

Mays and Smith on the left side would have been nasty

 

[Rishvol]

Mays and Smith on the left side would have been nasty

That would've just given us 2 Guards on that side of the ball

 

[Brillovol]

Jumbo package. I like it.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Man, he shot over 80 .

Speaking of shooting over 80.... today is the one year anniversary of that las vegas shooting that got conveniently swept under the rug

 

[volfanCLT]

That would've just given us 2 Guards on that side of the ball

Mays would be the best LT on the team by a mile

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Mays would be the best LT on the team by a mile

Never heard of her

 

[HankHill]

Mays would be the best LT on the team by a mile

Mays is a guard. Just like Smith is imo

Last true road game for a Noon kickoff was 2014 against UGA (L 35-32).

Our most recent noon eastern kick at a central time zone team (which makes it 11am local) was in 2009 at Ole Miss (L 42-17)

Very happy that is the noon game

BJ Emmons says he's taking fall off from football

Was curious how BJ Emmons was doing down at FAU. Incorrectly assumed he'd be a Vol for obvious reasons, but as far as I can tell Pruitt never pursued him and he signed with FAU. Turns out he never showed up to play and had academic issues to resolve.

Awful... enjoy the game of football while it lasts guys.

What did it say

Loading tweet...

It was in blue font, so likely some type of an inside joke.

Call me crazy. But with all of the technology in today’s world. You would think someway through some crazy space foam or carbon fiber whatever. We could make a helmet that is basically concussion proof. Even if you look like gazoo.

They say the true fix is to take the helmets off entirely.

It’s not crazy because then you can’t use it like a ram.

I say take all the precaution you can without changing the game, and if a man gets CTE, he gets CTE. Comes with the territory.

ARTIFICIAL turf is another big issue. It’s way easier to get a concussion on that then natural.

Still confused on this one because that's 6 inches of rubber they're playing on
