Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

That’s the second round of gunfire. She fired at three calf’s in the ditch away from everyone one of them was already injured from the accident. And the calf did charge her but there was about 5 of us around the women when she started shooting. The calf wouldn’t have killed anybody. Old hag was cussing saying the cows been out the last 3 nights y’all need to sue and all kinds of nonsense.

Are the road kill laws the same in GA? More importantly did you get us some steaks for the first game?

Favorite anecdote from the Athletic article on Leach's QBs and their experiences with him:
"Say you’re warming up and throwing routes to a receiver and you ground one about five yards in front of the guy. He would go, “Hey, you’re throwing that **** off your back foot, you’ve got to get your dick into it. Point your dick at him.”"

- The guy on VQ that got to watch the scrimmage.

That guy is such a homer. Can’t really take what he’s saying seriously.

CPF has his guy! He knows CJP wants it as bad as he does, and those two won’t stop until we beat somebody!! I love it!!!

Greatness.

We was gathered 'round the fire on a Sat'day night, or maybe a Sundy morn, when the rocktopper sat down. You could see he carried a heavy burden. So we passed him a beer and he told us a tale like we'd never heard before...

It was about Buicks and bucks, calves and hags, and ended in bullets and blood. We breathed a sigh of relief when he came through in one piece but his stories were not quite done.

AU and UK games last year prove they can. A statement like "they only know how to lose" is willfully ignorant.

UF, USCe, Missouri, and Vandy show they know how to lose. Absurd number of turnovers, poor execution on offense & defense, running out of gas due to conditioning and lack of depth, and generally quitting cost us those games.

I think we’ll be better this year but the team still has to learn how to win especially after taking the demoralizing losses we’ll see against Bama and likely UGA. They’ll have to bounce back physically and mentally.

 

[engineerVOL]

Greatness.

Like you said. This says it best:

Grandma mag-dumped a charging calf on a Saturday night in the North Georgia hills.

15-0 and until we aren’t seems to be the prevailing attitude with many.

I’ve actually thought the board has been more reasonable this year than any other since I’ve been on. 9-3 is about the highest I’ve seen folks go. Many are in the 7-5 range. You and I seem to be around 6-6.

I guess I really don’t feel a need to argue with anyone who feels optimistic. Let them have their fun! It’s all entertainment in the end.

The lady was in her mid 40’s. She had to live off 382 kept cussing the farmer and said his cows kept getting out.

Glad to see another Vol fan down this way. I get so much flack for wearing my gear out but idccccc. We go downtown every weekend and i swear if we beat GA I will plant a Tennessee flag in the roundabout

I get the same flack but I just smile whenever anybody beats the dawgs.i hope you are able to plant the flag soon! Plant it next to the fountain where you can see it coming off of River Street. I saw the post on the Gilmer Sherriff page.

Hard to give anyone a lot of credibility when they mention we don't have size on the DL and yet Simmons, true frosh out of Nashville keeps being singled out for good work and tips the scale at >320 pounds.

You said “only”. Clearly they knew how to win too. And that is at the center of why some of us get irritated with “dissent”. We all know what went wrong, but some us like to acknowledge what went right also.

There are people who tell you that you need to quit looking at your phone at least an hour before bed. Those people don’t hang out on VolNation enough.

Silly analysis really. What matters is OL and DL are both up significantly.

I mean, he's saying we're smaller at QB because, despite qb1 adding pounds (which actually matters), we lost a 240 lb sr in Chryst, ergo we are smaller at QB. Wth? TEs are just 1 lb bigger...knocked for "losing" another backup, Bumphus, this time to our own defense...wth? Analysis should be focused on what matters, not static.

I get he's saying every team is largely building up FR, SO, JRs that have plenty of room to grow and common narratives are "we are bigger, stronger than last year". It's actually true this time due to change in scheme & philosophies and the S&C and nutrition staff meeting those schematic size goals for our players.

 

[Vols4us]

As we know there is good weight and bad weight. 2018 was about putting on weight of any kind. 2019 has been about turning it to steel through Fitz's S&C and nutrition program.

Should have called me, I would have picked the cows up and brought them to my farm...Then bought yall breakfast at the waffle house.

@vol2002 just gave his 6-6 prediction, same as he and a few others have done on several occasions, and it doesn't bother anyone. Because there is no "intolerance of differing opinions".

The others that are just trolling, will become a good chief joke or get ignored like every attempt that came over here before them.

The moral of the story, no one can ruin a good RF calfa-geddon.

 

[jakez4ut]

Y’all done even know though. The look on my wife’s face when that calf jumped up and came at her. She said babeeeeeeeeeeee & I’ll her heard was the sounds of flip flops smacking pavement and a cow gaining traction then pew pew pew pew pew. Swear she emptied the clip and the calf was still going.

 

[Catbone]

Actually you seem in somewhat of a panic that somebody disagrees with your negative assessment

Nope. My 6-6 assessment is not negative at all. It's just where we are. We will be better next year.

 

[BigOrange15]

Yeah, I dont think 6-6 is negative at all. 6-6 or 7-5 is extremely likely imo.
