Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

GA at the same level as us, and no FL to be found.

 

[pismonque]

For all intensive purposes, Lavol supposably said we were very close to him being off the books irregardless.

Oof, it's like body blow after body blow after body blow....


Ugh. Nicely done.

 

[Devo182]

Will get votes for sure.

Yes. We'll get enough votes good for about 30-35th place.

8-5 teams rarely finish ranked. With 0 ranked wins, we won't break that mold.

 

[Vols_Life]

After we gave them 30seconds

Which changes the odds for sure

Ok, I'll play...so what are those odds changed to now...in percentages please.

 

[VolsnCards5]

I’d think most people would agree we should have punted there

Maybe I am wrong

I agree we should have punted.

I disagree with made up percentages.

Crazy impressive by Wisconsin. I swear those midwestern Viking behemoths are so undervalued. I was hoping Butch would use his midwest connections to load up on those guys....did the opposite

That's not me....Signed, Sweet As Soda

Thank you for clarifying that. I was hoping that was not you

 

[BruinVol]

Well the chances of them scoring after a punt go way up with then having almost a full minute.

I’d say somewhere around 20% maybe

Execution...all for it.

6.8

Ok what chance you give them scoring a FG getting the ball at the 20 or deeper with 35seconds left ?

 

[head1]

Swift declared, good riddance

Why do you hate fake contrived science?

 

[SweetasSoda]

I would hope Fulmer would work like h*ll to sell Butch to whoever is asking....at least until we have to stop making payments.

How much longer do we have?

 

[butchna]

4.7...also Crouch’s 40 time.

 

[pismonque]

Hey, just jumping in here, haven't been keeping up. So....

Anybody given any thought as to whether we should have just punted there in the 4th instead of lining up to go for it?

What do you think our percentages were? I'll take fractions.

 

[Devo182]

Let’s try this math again.


Going for it:

We get stopped 1/4 times imo. Then they score a FG at worst 1/2 times after that

That’s 1/4 x 1/2 or 1/8 which is 13%


If we punt them deep
They score a FG less than 13% which was my point

Fwiw we were 2 for 12 this year on 4th downs. Now, some may have been goal line. Some more than 1 yard. But our prior 4th down failures don't seem to bode well for us pulling it off last night.

 

[peaygolf]

Unless it worked...then it’s genius. Same thing with going for it instead of taking the points at the beginning of the game. Remember Butch taking heat for not going for the TD against Oklahoma on the 1. It’s always about what you didn’t do. Except in this case when it’s uncertain what they were going to do and we’re revisionist second guessing.

Exactly....everyone loved Payton’s onside kick in the Super Bowl to start the second half....what if that failed. He would have been lambasted for it.

True. Maybe that 3/4 success rate I said was too high

 

[peaygolf]

Reported, for being racist...

HE doesn’t look like Bigfoot, the photo does!

Speaking of the nfl

I heard it mentioned that the surprise on sides kick will likely never be tried again because of rules

What rule change is it?

 

[butchna]

Now, now. No reason to bring Jim Marshall into that discussion.

Looks like the Bigfoot photo.....

Running start by the kicking team

And the photo’s depicting?

I’m gonna get banned if I bring politics into this
