Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[rekinhavoc]

What did Butch do to Bob Shoop? How could even he take a top DC and cause him to break records for yards given up at TN? How is that even possible?

I'm guessing micromanaging, paranoia , and general asshattery.

Lol

Many times I think of my death, and hope someone hops onto my account to let y’all know I’m dead. Can’t have folks worrying about me.

Nick dies, Gecko posts selfie on his VN account: “Who’s laughing now?”

 

[HalfullVol]

Didn’t let him hire his guys and forced him to use lingo from the previous defense mixed with his. Then injuries piled up. Horrible combination

how do you know this? speculation on your part, maybe? besides the injuries, of course.

I feel for you if it's bad as you say. I've been blessed to have great cooks on all sides of the family. It certainly brightens up the holidays to have good home cooked food.

This. Turkey shouldn't be dry. If it is, somebody did something wrong.

This is the first year I haven't cooked one in a long time.

Ladybugs kill the things that kill your landscaping. Having them is beneficial.

I can tell you seeing my neighbors Arborvitae die this year, i think ill let em live.

The lady bugs that invade homes are not lady bugs. They're some form of Asian beetle. What I'm talking about doesn't really kill them anyway. It's more of a repellant.

That's surprising to me. But maybe good news? Not like someone picking a team really makes a difference, but just surprised all four picked UT.

I need more info on this...we have them like crazy every year. They started within the past week or two and will be around most of the winter.

The stuff I use is called Susepnd. Spray it once every 2-3 years. Ladybugs drop dead within in seconds of getting near windows, doors, or the perimeter of my house.

 

[Smokey123]

Yeah they've never been close to this level on defense. Top 5 overall defense while only giving up 12 TD's all year long. That's off the charts elite.

Yup. They’ll be good no doubt, but there’s gonna be a pretty decent drop for them

Kiss of death.

Random point:

Has anyone who has made fun of Kessling and the Vol Network (and this includes me) ever listened to other college radio networks?

On my Sirius XM they always use home teams radio networks and MAN! there are some God Awful announcers out there!!! I was just listening to the Iowa Nebraska call and the Iowa network forced me to have to punch myself in the nuts.

Not saying we shouldn’t criticize Kessling, but he is not nearly the worst out there. Not even close.

And that he is excrutianingly bad.

Look at who coached with him on defense. He hadn’t worked with any of those guys before. Then in an interview he talked about how he tried to fit into the culture in place rather than do what he knows. Plus VQ and others have talked about it

It will go a long way in instilling some more trust in Pruitt if he can get these guys to fight for a low-tier bowl chance. Especially the Seniors (and Juniors who may transfer) knowing full well these extra practices are essentially hollow for them.

I really want to pound these nerds.

The American Conference brands themselves as a Power 6 conference.

Pathetic

This explains the difference. It's my understanding, and I could be wrong, that people purchased ladybugs for their garden and instead of receiving native ladybugs they ended up with the Asian lady bug. They're a lot different than our native species.

Goes without saying but it’s pretty incredible, aside from those guys with chronic issues (Hall), the S&C staff has done a good job because we have pretty much avoided a lot of serious injuries.

Eh, “power 5” is not really an official term. It’s not how the NCAA describes it. They are just trying to market their conference.

Why? Their teams constantly beat P5 teams

Yeah that's been nice. We haven't had this few injuries throughout the course of a season in I can't remember when.

Yep

A trend I hope continues
