Strange day in the RF. From what I can tell, nothing happened at all and a riot was started between nega crooters and pumper crooters. Never a slow day for Freak's servers. :D

Not sure this was necessarily nega vs pumper. Looked more like 2 posters trolling and getting called out. At least 1 of them I'm about 99% sure is a rival fan.

This is where I like David Johnson, he's a excellent teacher/coach which is why every single WR improved last year. Same with Rocker, great coach. Just feel you have to surround those guys with elite recruiters and Pruitt did that with Tee & Ansley. He knew exactly what needed to happen.

Good point. Not every coach needs to be an elite recruiter, we need our fair share of elite position COACHES too. And there just aren't many that fill both roles to a top-notch level. Those are rarities - Tee maybe being one.

Auburn game & SCjr was beautiful. Then all of a sudden we threw those game plans in the trash. I don't understand

USCjr was a nice game plan.

I truly don't think Auburn was anything to do with gameplan. We came in running a bunch and got stonewalled. Then JG and receivers made some absolutely great individual plays. I just have a hard time saying those were great calls, because honestly none of them created any advantages, outside of Ty's open catch and run to the end zone. Overall the offense scored 23 points and we rushed 36 times for a total of 68 yards.

I was just surprised we didn't go back to the USC plan from there on out.

Not sure it’s been mentioned, but the athletic is running a year subscription for half off.. equals out to be 2.49 a month... In my opinion, David Ubben is the best thing going as far as media coverage for Tennessee football.. bunch of other great writers with other sports and teams as well.

Yeah I thought he would be better. Like devo said, he did a decent job getting jg to show some improvement but his playcalling was awful.

We had this thing in nuclear power called malicious compliance. It’s when you do what you’re told or follow the procedure even though you know it’s going to cause problems. You had to stop and elevate your concerns or you would be the one fired.

Many years ago I had a nephew playing basketball. I don’t know of any kid who worked harder to develop his game than that kid. I was at one of his high school freshman games to see him play and he didn’t really do much the first half. In the second half he looked to me like he was sulking. He played the whole game but didn’t do much. They lost.

Later when he and I were talking about the game he said he didn’t think his coach wanted him to shoot. Now, you need to know that he wasn’t just the best shooter on the team; he was the best shooter in the district. He also pointed fingers at his teammates.

The next day was a Saturday and I had him meet me on the basketball court. I began by telling him that I knew he was the best player on the court in the previous game which he was and then as much as it pained me to do it I told him he had played like a crybaby. He was blaming everyone else instead of taking responsibility for his play. He actually did start crying then which really hurt for me to have to do. We did some drills and shooting exercises and called it a day.

Tuesday was their next game. I showed up again. He had 28 points in the first half and after draining a three to start the second half he sat out the rest of the game because his coach didn’t want to run up the score on the other team. At the end of the season he was the first player named to the all-district team.

I think there was probably some dysfunction between Pruitt and Helton and Helton didn’t have the balls to stand up for the offense. Pruitt could push Helton around but there is no way Chaney will go along with something that goes against his better judgement. I actually think that’s why Pruitt hired him at whatever it was going to cost, and that I think is to Pruitt’s credit. jmo.
