Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[VolGee4]

But he finished all the games and chose not to play in the bowl game. I don't consider that quitting. By these terms, it should be an epidemic of mass players choosing not to play in meaningless bowl games. Now we all know Vic would have played if he were an underclassman but as a 5th year SR....the risk is to great. Soooooo did Will Grier quit West Virginia? Soooooo did Christian McCaffrey quit Stanford? Soooooo Ed Oliver quit Houston? Soooooo Deebo Samuel quit South Carolina? And N'Keal Harry quit Arizona State?

Players in New Year’s Six bowls are doing the same, with at least three Michigan Wolverines not playing in the Peach Bowl. It’s not even just a bowl game thing at this point. Ohio State’s Nick Bosaannounced midseason that he wouldn’t attempt to battle back from injury just to play in college games again.

Former Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith tore his ACL and LCL in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl, and it cost him several million dollars.

Football is a business, even though players aren’t paid until the NFL. Sitting out a bowl game is about protecting millions of dollars or even thousands.

Vic getting drafted? Good for him if it happens. I didn’t realize he was that coveted. You listed All-Americans.

Well, Koetter is available. #

No

 

[Kingston Vol]

We have our OC

Nah.

Did you read that article I posted? Don't know anything about the writer of the article.

Yes - old news. Our 247 and Rivals guys are saying Yurcich doesn’t seem to be happening.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Kichens

Good call - I don’t think he’s getting fired but we’ll see.

 

[HankHill]

Tomorrow should be interesting with it being Black Monday in the NFL.

Who are the guys we think could be theoretical OC targets?

Sark
JBC
Nussmeier

are there anymore we should watch?

Would love if Jeremy bates was added to that list. Assuming since Bowles is fired he will be looking for a job.

 

[Catbone]

UGA’s pretty good. Not sure why you keep pretending.

You're delusional old man. Keep up the joke though ill laugh at it one day.

 

[Orange Studs]

Nah.

Yes - old news. Our 247 and Rivals guys are saying Yurcich doesn’t seem to be happening.

Ok just saw it on the Home page looked like a new article being that it was at the top of the list.

 

[landscapingvol]

TN is a top 20 program right now. Come on.

I would say the following programs are ahead of UT and have been more relevant over the last decade:
FSU
Clemson
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Texas A and M
Georgia
Auburn
LSU
Alabama
Florida
Oregon
Washington
Ohio State
Michigan
Michigan State
Notre Dame
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Maybe?
Mississippi
Mississippi State
Missouri
Virginia Tech
USC
South Carolina
Texas
Penn State
TCU

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Nah.

Yes - old news. Our 247 and Rivals guys are saying Yurcich doesn’t seem to be happening.

Friend will be the OC

I mostly eat 80/20 ground beef but will eat some cheese,pork and chicken.

$3.08 a lb for brisket at sams club. For me, can’t beat the price and it makes it more paletable. I started with ground, but quickly got burnt out. I still eat ground about twice a week.

 

[Sleegro]

Guys it's gru

 

[volfaninpa]

Is Mike Bajakian going to be available too?

 

[tn88volfan]

If anyone needs caught up in this thread

 

[landscapingvol]

Yep. And since then, the diabetes rates have increased.

I would say that has more to do with kids being much more sedentary today and eating way too much processed sugars than a government program

 

[MrVolton]

Kichens

Biggest pipe dream of all the names that have been mentioned IMO.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Friend will be the OC

Better teams, sure.


West Virginia and Wisconsin are not better programs.

Of your maybes, Texas and USC are better programs. Penn State is on our level and the rest are not close.

[VolGee4]

Well for starters Dak is about to get a franchise deal contract and fletcher cox and Darius slay are some of the top players at their position.

That’s 3. I am a Cowboys fan and Dak has regressed. Mixed emotions about him.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What? That’s not a negative thing. We are a top 15 program. There’s nothing wrong with saying that. I’m a huge jets fan but there’s nothing wrong with saying the patriots are a better organization

Acceptance of mediocrity is when you really truly become mediocre. I've been negative for awhile because our admin tried to drive the program off a cliff, but it gets my blood and fight up when you losers start spouting your "accept our place, and realize we suck as a program, and no way we can compete with true royalty like OSU" garbage...that ******** makes me wanna puke..your attitude makes me wanna puke.

 

[DD4ME]

Let's go titans

 

[Rishvol]

That's a first down if he just runs
