Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[govols444]

I know that it is very likely to happen anyway, but if Coach Pruitt decides to start JG, I am going to ask our fans on here not to boo. I think booing the home team at a game is among the most classless things you can do. I don't care what you paid for your ticket. Also, how does it make the rest of the team feel? Probably, not very good. @me if you must, but booing the home team is classless and cowardly.

This is 100% correct and it should go without saying. WE DO NOT BOO OUR KIDS! Even if you don't agree with that sentiment, you should at least be pragmatic. We want to make the atmosphere as positive as possible for the recruits.

Pope if only for his blocking prowess. Now if he can improve catching, he could be legit next year.

I didn’t think of him

Do you have drop stats from last year to this?

I’d like to a comparison with JJ

 

[SLICKYINC]

I know that smaller programs have to try to stand out, but man these are ugly.

Wait. TCU has LED lights and we still don’t. Ooof

 

[Devo182]

What exactly do you call support? If he can manage the game, and not hurt the team, I will support that, but you KNOW that Mushdump is going to stack the box and make that spastic idiot beat us.

He has to make plays for us to win, and not suck. He is going to suck, and we are going to probably lose because he sucks...again.


I can not support that..at all.

If they could just repeat last year's strategy vs USC. Our run game is obviously better than last year and I think our defense is coming around. Repeat the quick pass scheme and we have a shot.

I haven’t seen much talk about the lights Saturday night.


How many want something like that at Neyland??


I know I hated it and will he mad if they ruin our pregame like that

 

[Pane di mais]

Hey, I saw a photo that seemed to show that bammer was lined up so far offsides on Rogue Two's glory moment that you could barely see our center's arms and helmet, much less the ball. With a line judge starring at it. Anyone see that? I can't find it.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Honestly every school should have 3 colors...and the only additional colors they should use outside those 3 are White or Black.

Oregon is ridiculous as is, but my goodness. Why in the world is TCU rocking orange (I think)?

After reading an article by Ubben on the Athletic, where he interviews a bunch of different neurologists about playing the week after receiving two concussions in back to back games, I don't think there's any way BM starts on Saturday. The only way would be that the hit in the Bama game didn't actually result in a concussion. We're going to have to ride with JG.

Are we sure he had a concussion against MSU?

I wasn't there, but to me it just seems gimmicky. You go to a football game because you like the GameDay atmosphere. You don't go to a game expecting a nightclub atmosphere.

 

[fearsvols]

It’s reasonable to think he didn’t have a concussion either week

This right here. It was noted that concussion protocol covers concussions and neck injuries. Seeing how he reacted against MSU, holding the back of his neck, I believe it was a neck issue.

The photo was taken from a bad angle

I agree. It ruined the tradition that is college football imo

I think they should be reserved for small teams that have nothing else to sell. But I don't want to be called a walking atavism.

Kids meaning players or kids meaning young fans?

I’d like to a comparison with JJ

4 drops last year on 44 targets.
4 drops this year on 49 targets.

Same rate essentially. Drops this year were just more memorable.

Too late for that. The light wars have started.

Players. Example, W. Morris today.

Thanks for sharing. More memorable and alot more targets.

YES! I just felt like shouting at a stray cloud. For kicks.

Ok thanks

I respect that but don’t think the game day experience needs to be catered around what the players want or even what recruits want

El o el. K bud.

I will be giving my tickets to someone in my family then. I don’t feel like watching a gut wrenching loss with that loser as our QB. That is over six hours of driving for one day. I think not.

You won’t be the only one. Basilio was getting pounded on calls and twitter because he said JG is starting and we should at least support the guy despite our misgivings. I think fans are at the point where we’d rather lose by 40 behind Shrout or Jennings instead of losing by 25 behind JG.

Fans were also saying that Pruitt will lose what little equity he has built if JG starts Saturday. It’s a bad situation all around.

I thought the lights sucked and the broadcast cameras had a hard time adjusting to the brightness and color temp.

First full day back as a married man and I'm already being told we need to have 3 different types of laundry detergent. Why?

Don't argue just do it. Same applies with shampoo.
