Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

More like Food Lion or Albertsons if we keep this up.

Out of business?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Out of business?

Dont know about Albertsons but food lion is still around.

 

[LightningVol]

If anyone can't bear to go on, you can go out with a TN blade, I suppose.

Me, I am going to trust in Philip Fulmer and Pruitt will get this ship right. Screw Florida and stop worrying about those SOBs. We will get em.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Save a lot adequately describes our coaching searches

Save-A-Lot Field at Family Dollar Stadium

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Personally I think we should turn Neyland into a giant beef jerky emporium.

 

[volfaninpa]

Regal Cinemas Neyland Stadium?

Shields-Watkins Regal Cinemas Field?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Ole Smokey Moonshine Field at Jack Daniel's Stadium, in recognition of all the whiskey drinking Tennessee fans have done over the past decade.

 

[OrangenSC]

Said it before and I’ll say it again

Mullen will have UF good before UT is good. He won’t make them great.

Pruitt will make UT great.

Patience.

"I want to believe this." "I want to believe this." "I want to believe this."

 

[OrangenSC]

I think both can happen to be honest. Will take Pruitt a yr or so longer just due to the bad timing of a OL fix this yr then a DL fix this yr. you almost rather just have them both in same yr. at least with OL playing guys that will be here next yr. main part of DL won't be back.

We all sat here saying all the same things butchs first yr. then he was in position to strike in yr 3 and 4 and he messed it up. Pruitt will be in same situation with the type of players he is bringing in plus grad transfer markets. I think he has a better coaching staff to make get over the hump when it's his turn to strike.

I'm really interested to see how we look coming off a bye in a noon game on road at auburn. The players should finally see they have a HC who really cares. I'll be interested to see if we start seeing a different level of effort from them moving forward

Effort has not been the problem.

 

[engineerVOL]

Mullen just cemented their ceiling as #2 in the East for the next decade and they’re playing like they know it

You think Pruitt will consistently field better teams than Florida? I dont. But that’s just me. I said from the get go that i just can’t give another coach unabashed kissassery until they prove me otherwise.

Maybe it’s the lack of sleep from a newborn, but I’m in full curmudgeonry about Tennessee football. Lol

Never fully understood the level of BVS until another team's game sent VN into another night of manic depression.

 

[jakez4ut]

The funny part about all this is that the were plenty of people outside the program saying all of season that Florida had talent and we didn't.

We were like..."blasphemy!"

Well, turns out they were right.

Nothing has changed, except our world view. We were wrong.

We do actually have a long way to go.

Time to just deal with it.

What were they wrong about so far? MSU, Auburn, and USCe.

We'll see in 3 years if anything is appreciably better. And by better, that may only mean being able to go 5-3 in conference.

 

[millst987]

Don’t worry guys, opportunity is nowhere

 

[jakez4ut]

Never fully understood the level of BVS until another team's game sent VN into another night of manic depression.

Agreed. But I'm guilty of it as well...

The sky is falling and the Vols didnt even play today.

Lol

 

[jakez4ut]

Lol

If you're not getting better, you're getting worse?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

If you're not getting better, you're getting worse?

If you're not first you're last.

 

[jakez4ut]

I think it's pretty evident we're having to play the long game. It's just not gonna be a quick turnaround.

And that's ok I guess. Not much we can do about it.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I’m not high fiving you for saying Kentucky is good.

Trash program

Kroger Field enough said

Shut it Moran. Give me some credit. BTW, how's pops?

 

[jakez4ut]

And there's not a result we could get this season that changes that.... Win or lose

 

[volatil]

Shut it Moran. Give me some credit. BTW, how's pops?

Appreciate you asking about him. He’s declining fast I’m afraid. Neurologist was shocked at the progression over past year. Diagnosed with Lewy Body (only definitive diagnosis of this is on an autopsy). Mom doesn’t put him on the phone with me anymore. It’s sad.

How’s your mom doing?

 

[zhangliao04]

I thought they were. The last year, dating back to that 41-0 beatdown from Georgia has taught me repeatedly that my orange colored view of the world is seriously flawed. Things are worse for us than I ever imagined on all fronts. Each week reminds me of this.

Ha! All you can do is laugh.

We will be good... one day

I fully trust we will be back to dominance again. I trust Pruitt is going to get us back on the right track at least.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Bad for us if Barn goes down to cowbell. They will be fired up!

 

[chavisut]

Two block in backs by TAMU there.

 

[volatil]

Bad for us if A Barn goes down to cowbell. They will be fired up!

Fired up or give up?

They still have to play Georgia and Bama
