Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Now we’re talking

Agree Bass, but this should have been dealt with in the summer. He knew this was a problem.....dinners with JG and Inkey’s speech tells me there were problems identified but not dealt with.

Very disappointed with the coaching staff.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Nope, never have

neither have I, all my buddies have one mounted.. still waiting

I had a 15 pound black bass on the bank in fla once.. reached down and it slipped away

edit.. i love those broken back rapalas

A poster who shall remain nameless grabbed my fishing pole on Lake Fork and landed a 10lb'er. While I was keeping the boat in place in heavy winds I might add. A second nameless poster also hooked up but he lost his (all at the same time).
I maintain that it was my trolling motor prowess ,superior knot tying and lure selection that allowed them that experience.

I did catch a 9lb'er there on a separate trip.

 

[Jackcrevol]

he dont eat em.. he's admitted that, questioning whether he's ever caught a 10 pounder now

that's a rare fish, unless Cali or Mex. Still think that's a rarity.

ok, ill bite...bass fished my whole life, grew up watching Hank Parker & Roland Martin....& Bill Dance....listenin' to John Anderson. Had the pin up girls on the wall, next to pics of Ranger & Stratos Boats. Then i found a fly rod...thank Flip Pallot for that.

id love to catch a 10 lb anything, but, 6lb small mouth caught on a fly you've tied, brings a smile. Never forget that feeling.

Love me some post-spawn ledge fishing on the TN River chain.

Something about catching a trophy on a lure you have made makes the experience that much better.....congrats on that trophy!!

Rewatching the game. Taking Henry T out in the second half for whatever reason was dumb. He was fired up flying all over the field in the first half

I said something a couple days ago about this. I thought when I was watching, that I didn’t notice him that much in 2nd half. I wasn’t thinking about it then, because my mind was so shell-shocked. Does anyone know why?

thanks. left the camera in the car. C&R hopefully it made other fish babies for the next fisherman.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who seen Henry disappear in the 2nd half. I figured he musta got hurt. Nope just more stupid subbing for no reason.

trolling?

my buddy fishes a striped bass river tourney & best sized trout at Watauga every year. Admittedly you have to fish that lake that way, or with downrigger. I give him **** that he's a bait chunking trash fisherman.

he's sent some pics of some monster fish. i always send him a follow up 'nice fish, pretty easy to when you're throwing the exact fish they eat, alive, confined to a hook - directly at their mouths', 'lord buddy anybody could do that!'

They've got the outfitting, but catch some monsters. In reality i'm just jealous.

 

[Jack Burton]

If Pruitt has any commits in his back pocket, now might be the time to pop one. Anything to lift spirits at the moment.

Probably just trying to hold on to the ones he’s got after Saturday’s abysmal showing.

 

[SLICKYINC]

After listing to some of the things Pruitt said yesterday between conference call, press conference and Vol calls. It's obvious that he is publicly criticizing his upperclassmen and almost telling some of them to get out.

If this is truly the problem, and I think it may be, it’s time to man up and MAKE THIS HAPPEN !

Go to them now, close the door, and ask the question......”are you with me or ag’in me??” Jump on or jump off !!!

Just take some of his comments. Most of them are boosting up the younger guys. Comments like

"we have a war daddy board and a lot of freshmen are on it.

"some freshmen outplayed their peers"

Then the whole deal last night talking about guys have left and a couple more will probably leave. In my mind pretty much telling them to go so the team can move on, imo.

 

[RikidyBones]

Some of you around here sure have short memories.

I still remember last Saturday

I suppress it. Shove it deeeeeeep down in there where it certainly wouldn't fester.

HT started the game flying all over the place, but was out of place a few times and started playing very tentatively.
On one play he got completely turned around and was half way jogging to the ball carrier early in 2nd half. He did not play much after that.

Naw we weren't trolling. I was holding the boat in place when some bass starting busting. The ahole grabbed the my fishing pole and the rest is history.

Yes I am bitter.

It's difficult when people you work with who never talk football all the sudden are chatty Cathy.

Yea that makes no sense. He’s already our best coverage LB by a mile. He’s only gonna get better too.

I did see him on that play. I thought maybe he was trying to prevent the runner from turning the play back inside. But, yeah he was like he was running in mud. I thought, whoa, whats going on here.

He needs to cool it with that sh**. Do it all you want in the complex or on the practice field, but doing it publicly comes off as excuse making and petty.

It’s obvious at this point his motivation tactics aren’t getting it done. Which is kind of bizarre honestly. At least for the first year or two players will usually buy in and run through a wall for a coach. They did for kiffin, Dooley, and butch. At least for the most part.

 

[awaitingawin]

While realizing Henry T is just a freshman and college ball can be a shock because you have upperclassmen, like 21/22 year old men plus 320/330 pound linemen coming at you I noticed he had somewhat of a problem at time getting off blocks.
Very difficult position to play as a freshman for sure. Takes a special freshman to be able to do that but he is in training this season but I bet it is a wake up call type of moment for him and we aren't even in SEC play yet

which is fine.

but two weeks ago it was "we got a positive vibe right now, i like this football team".

Not getting after it in a game against an inferior opponent warrants a response from the coach. I assume he did this publicly after taking the brunt over the weekend because some weren't responding on the practice field. I am sure the social media gaffes by players further made this necessary.

If we weren’t responding on the practice field after Saturday it doesn’t matter what he says we ain’t getting fixed
