Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I personally don’t want to be number 1 yet. Want them to feel slighted so they go out and blow people out.

The target on our backs has already arrived my friend. No more underdog stories with this team. Embrace it.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Focusing on the rankings may have distracted the team. Lot to learn from this close call. Having to gut out an ugly win will be good for the Vols. One W at a time.

Yep. Let UVA or Duke either one have the top spot after tonight. This team needs to keep an edge. They lost it for a good portion of this game.

 

[VolGee4]

Think this team has deserved by their effort and play all year for you not to bail like a child when we are down by 3 with 9 minutes left in a game lol

It’s his shtick. I’ve just accepted it by now. If he says we will lose, then we win.,

 

[volinbama256]

Today we just realized that when we are "ON" we can beat anyone in the country, and when we play MEH, we SUC. An Unfortunate dose of reality--- we will most likely lose about 3-4 games before the end of the regular season... KY, Ole Miss, and AU/AL should notch a win against us... we just can't play at that elite level every week, but we are freakin awesome overall and what a damn awesome season we are having...
A few L's will keep us hungry and humble going into the tourney...BOOKIT

 

[BruinVol]

Agreed except Vols 2

Winner of Duke/UVA #1, UM #2, Vols #3, loser of Duke/UVA #4.

LVs out of the top 25.

That's my guess.

 

[SLICKYINC]

@seaofORANGE22 They way they’ve played the last 2 games. They need some type of motivation. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be upset with being #1.

SIAP

My chills have chills. Inject this into my veins!

 

[VolGee4]

It makes me irrationally angry how poorly we play against Alabama in basketball. In football I expect it, but good grief, they are a mediocre basketball program and we always seem to lose to them.

They have good talent but coaching is mediocre. Petty was a 5 star.

 

[Type Orange+]

I personally don’t want to be number 1 yet. Want them to feel slighted so they go out and blow people out.

Same here. I would rather we weren't #1. I like this team when they have a chip on their shoulder.

 

[LA Vol]

We'll move to 2.

Maybe. I've been going back and forth on that. I just don't think they give us #1. And it might be good for Vols to keep that goal out there.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Start eating your usual meal Cat. I believe the crow is ready.

Chadbone was with us for about 20 minutes after his...uh...liaison.

 

[i2amavol]

Williams and Schofield with 34 minutes each. I think a little bit of fatigue was at play near the end.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The more i type the more im wrong the more we win

It's science

 

[VolGee4]

Bama lost that game game we didn't win it

For that reason the winner tonight deserves to be number 1 imo

One game doesn’t change things. We have beaten 14 of 16 teams by double digits. UVA’s OOC schedule wasn’t good.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

We're also getting everyones best shot. Opponents are locked in against us knowing a win could be their golden ticket to the tournament.

There is nothing mediocre about winning a game like today's. Gutting out a win when things are going bad means a lot. There will be more of these tough games. There will also be more blowouts.

Oh and Bama sucks lol maybe next time

 

[Catbone]

Because of our ugly win imo:

#1 Virginia/Duke
#2 Tennessee

 

[seaofORANGE22]

@seaofORANGE22 They way they’ve played the last 2 games. They need some type of motivation. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be upset with being #1.

Rick Barnes is motivating them with dreams of cutting down nets

 

[BruinVol]

The defense was bad for the first 10 min of second half. After that we buckled down

That was based solely on about 50 posters responses. I did not watch myself.

 

[UTSuave’]

My Bet is they put “undefeated” Virginia ahead of us if they beat duke tonight. Tennessee should be number 1 for record.

 

[delfonic]

Basketvols went cold shooting and then buckled down. I saw a great team today hit a ridiculous cold streak and still squeeze out a win because they are a great team.

 

[Aesius]

Is Bama a tournament team?

 

[VolGee4]

I still think we jump Michigan. As ugly as today's win was, it was still a win. Doesn't do us any favors that Kansas lost today though.

We play WV, too.

 

[VolGee4]

Because of our ugly win imo:

#1 Virginia/Duke
#2 Tennessee

Of course. That means we will be #1.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Sucks to lose Charles Kelly to Saban of all people. Would have rather seen him go to Maryland. But whatever. Somebody had to go I suppose.

Anybody on our staff a good candidate to coach special teams? Weinke maybe? Tee? Maybe Nieds? Can't think of anybody with that specific experience.

 

[BruinVol]

One game doesn’t change things. We have beaten 14 of 16 teams by double digits. UVA’s OOC schedule wasn’t good.

It will be after tonight if they win.

With Kansas losing today that doesn't help us. That was an awful loss for them
