Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Bowden finally caught the bus to the arena

 

[UTProf]

If we had Bone I'd think there's still time but even though I've seen crazier comebacks I don't think this one is gonna happen.

 

[UTProf]

Damn Turner looks hurt.

Pons grownassman

Hey guys, to each his own. If you want to not pay attention to the entire body of work I've done, that's fine. We have a Black Friday sale going on today and I tweeted out about 15 of our best-selling stories in the past year or so. If you want to get mad about one that's more explanatory than negative, that's fine. If you want to get mad about a couple cherry-picked tweets pulled out of context, that's fine. But it's also intellectually dishonest.

This is my Twitter account. I tweeted a bunch of stories this morning our readers loved that if you haven't subscribed, you've missed this year. People on this board who want to feed off tweets they think are too negative can do so if they please. Get angry about me being "too negative" if you want. But I don't really care about writing "positive" or "negative" stories. I care about writing stories that allow our readers to learn new things. I hope you'll check us out and not play the outrage groupthink game. Thanks!

I think I will remain outraged.

Pons is nasty

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He is but that’s not his natural position. The offense will just flow with a natural PG like Bone.

Maybe you're right, or maybe this lineup has several deficiencies that are going to interrupt it's flow no matter who the PG is.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Worst I’ve seen us play in a long time

At least since the SEC Tournament Finals against Auburn.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Hard to say. Bartoo doesn't go by Vegas, but recruited talent and field advantage as to if you should have won or lost and how much a coach effects things. It's pretty crude. I'd guess Pruitt got a +1 for Auburn last year, but a -1 vs Vandy. I'd guess he also received -2 this year for the first 2. Since then, I'm not sure he would get any +1s.

Sort of harsh at UT in a way, few opportunities for plusses (uf, uga, bama, and maybe usc on the road), but plenty of opportunties to lose to teams that can't recruit within 15 spots of us. But also tells us 8-4 should really be our longer term floor with a good coach.

Service rankings are a joke

 

[volatil]

That’s a damn foul

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Unbelievable

 

[IH8TheHaslams]

so damn passive

 

[Rishvol]

That’s a damn foul

That's what I thought

 

[Freak]

I mean, if that's a foul on fulkerson a minute a go, that's a foul on FSU on that pass. imo.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

What a ridiculous no call

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This team is a .500 team just not very good, no size and inconsistent guard play

It was the same thing

 

[UTProf]

FSU murdered us with their height but we did ourselves no favors with sloppy passes and not being able to buy a bucket even when they were uncontested.

 

[UTProf]

They are way better than that but you're right about size and guard issues.

 

[Catbone]

21 turnovers.

33% FG.

Smh...

 

[mr.checkerboards]

They are way better than that but you're right about size and guard issues.

They remind me of Barnes early teams, FSU wasn't that good

 

[Rishvol]

Played like crap. Refs helped FSU big time. Yet I can't get mad at this team for coming back from 10 down multiple times

 

[JCP201]

Very young in many places-- they gotta learn. I'm shocked we only lost by 3.

We need Plavsic

 

[InVOLuntary]

The Vols played as bad as the officials officiated.
