Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Herbstreit either legitimately loves us or he's paying back reparations for Ohio State fans being shitlords over the off-season.

He moved to Nashville several years ago.

He always talks about the Vols. Unlike most talking heads, I think he just gets the program and the fanbase. I know he's said multiple times that he's been absolutely baffled by how and why Tennessee has been down for so long because the program is so strong with so much history and passion.

 

[ChismsHeadband]

He moved to Nashville several years ago.

So Option #3: He could be afraid of his car or house getting egged by Vols fans if he talks bad about us?

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Kiffin said he’s the best DC in CFB. I think that was one occasion where he wasn’t trolling Vols fans.

I remember that too. The best know who the best are.

If it's true, and I think there's a good chance it is, then that's the edge we need to be nationally relevant. I don't think we can just brute force our way to being top 10 every year on recruiting alone simply because in-state talent doesn't live up to expectations often enough and we don't get the cream of the crop in GA and FL. We have to have an edge over teams beyond just out-talenting them, and coaching/fielding a top 5 defense most years (after Pruitt gets his scheme installed and his players) is how we'll get there.

Lives in Nashville right?

Every pitcher is using something to help grip the ball. The Astros won't say anything because their guys are doing the same.

Every pitcher doesn’t blatantly grab their arm between each pitch like a rube

Vol vs Auburn replay

Much appreciated @Freak

 

[Nashvegas31]

On the opening run for Ty Chandler - if he cuts left behind JJ instead of cutting right to the outside he is making a house call.

Saw this too. TD if he cuts to middle
Of field

Question:

Does Kirk Herbstreit live in Nashville now?

 

[Nashvegas31]

Do teams even throw at Alontae? I don't feel like you ever see them throw to his side

 

[drvenner]

He will be running at 5:30. He won't miss any game time.

That fumble recovery touchdown was only like, the third? time I heard his name called all season. I think he's one of those true shut-down corners.

Wonder who he will matchup against Saturday

Much appreciated @Freak

I just noticed that it was @Freak that created the youtube video

I’m so happy for Kyle Phillips. Always wanted him to be able to realize his potential. Wondered what a healthy No. 5 could do and was not disappointed last week.

 

[Skizer41]

You guys think the is anyway we see JJP this week? We are a little banged up and short on D after the injuries/suspension.

Obviously, we are all feeling better about November, but specifically, I feel my confidence vs. Mizzou rising quickest.

Early this year, I thought they were built to beat us, but our defense has tightened up well... especially the secondary.

It'll be interesting to see where we end up recruiting wise this year. If we can land Wright, and a couple more top tier guys, I think we can finish somewhere around number 10. I think in time though, Pruitt and staff will have us in the top ten pretty much every year. If we're recruiting top ten talent every year, with coaches like I think we have, we'll be fine. Still a little uneasy about the offense, but defensively, I think we're going to field a top tier unit most years.

Not really. He’s the best corner we have had since probably Jason Allen. He’s long, fast, and physical. Literally everything you want in a corner.
Not to mention a complete dog personality wise b

MNF literally just said, “A special performance by garbage.” In that deep 1980’s themed ominous movie trailer voice

I’m losing my head here

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Really MNF? we’ve got to have a Bama interview at halftime?

They are interviewing Garbage right now

We were talking about this at work today. Personally I ranked the remaining games (most likely win to least likely) :
1. Charlotte
2. Vandy
3. South Carolina
4. Kentucky
5. Missouri
6. Alabama

Just my opinion.
