Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Devo182]

I had to do a double take when watching Last Chance U. Their QB is a 6'1 kid from Alabama named Jay Jones.

We have a DB commit named Jay Jones....6'1 and from Alabama.

Woah. Not the same guy though. He's a true HS recruit.

Why is Nebraska getting so much love this off-season? I saw somewhere they're picked to win their division. Big 10 that bad?

Big 10 west is sorry. Michigan OSU and Michigan State are all in the east it’s ridiculous.

 

[Devo182]

So if we lose you wouldn’t consider it a bad loss with your mantra? Just curious.

&

BYU isn’t a GA State level team either.

I will be viewing any single games as Pruitt does - are we playing the right way? He is process-based, not results-oriented, and he is right in being so.

No doubt BYU isn't anywhere close to Ga St, hopefully I didn't insinuate that. We're 25 pt favorites over Ga St and only 3 over BYU, after all.

Imo, 1) respect for Frost, 2) they have a good returning qb in Martinez, and 3) after that program had lost an unimaginable 10 straight games (WOW), they did go 4-2 down the stretch, including 2 very close losses to OSU and a ranked Iowa.

And, yes, the B1G stinks. And pollsters go more off predicted records than actual strength of teams, which is why you end up with #12 10-2 Northwestern being 8 pt underdogs to #24 8-4 UT. It's crap, plain and simple. But they don't want to hurt the feelings of all the fans of clearly inferior conferences.

I hope we’re not going to Athens. Game is in Knoxville.

Still might be to taxing on the brain. He's that slow

Hmmm. The irony is strong.

 

[logginlarry]

Everyone puts LilliputianVol on ignore and BGS picks up the slack.

So I was thinking about it, the good news about Solomon and Gibbs is that even though the NCAA hasn’t cleared them yet, Atleast they can do the stupid 5 day pads crap (stupid acclimation period, that makes no sense) so they can go full pads.

 

[chargervol]

It's so dead that I've been catching up in the FF. I honestly have a hard time seeing the difference in that forum and a Gator board.

Maybe there's more "Vol" than Gator in people's screen names but even that's not by much.

Uncalled for

Where do I send my resume?

Best places to eat in Chattanooga ? Moving step son into college there this week. Will be spending some extra time there it looks like in the coming years. Best place to have a beer and watch the vols on a Saturday afternoon ?

Our first loss will be a forfeit.. another embarrassing Tennessee moment.

I have a family health issue within my crew that has recently come to light and we need to work through it here with our healthcare system vs. Thailand. The decision was very much out of my hands and I’m admittedly struggling with it

Fully intend to return in July 2020. Currently sorting through the logistical nightmare of the whole thing with everything we own being in Thailand, needing to continue to rent our house there, find a sitter for our dog, probably losing our return tickets and needing a new ticket to return for a couple of weeks next month to work things out on the ground level

Tough place to be right now, but 100% the right call

Sorry man

Especially since it's NYC you got stuck in and not Knoxville

Will keep your family lifted up though, whatever his plan is I will pray you and family are given strength through it.

I heard Pruitt loves getting random resumes in his email.... you’ll definitely get the job

Just north is a house converted into an amazing restaurant where everything is made from scratch called The Big Table.

If downtown I like the Yellow Deli also Big River Grille & Brewing Works, and Bluegrass Grill are well established local favorites with good seafood options. Hickory Pit BBQ, Public House, Mr. T's Pizza, & Aretha Frankensteins

That's at least the list I like of primarily local exclusive spots. Plenty of other "chain" spots that are quality as well.

Sorry you can’t recognize Mullen’s greatness and Pruitt’s failure after one season of reality...just facts!
