Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Deacon Barnes finessed UT out of $5,000,000

Just stop. I guess we could have Coach Midmajor and be 12-13 with a top 40 class next year. That would be really fun.

 

[Orange Studs]

Sorry guys.

didn't you say that last week to? LOL

If Fulkerson is that strong on a spin move, he needs to be on the football team. /sarcasm

 

[gainesvol82]

So sick of getting hosed. No doubt in my mind that was a blocking foul on the cock against Fulkerson.

Would have completely changed the f'ing game where we were the better team. Hit more FTs and it would have been a moot point.

old coach in a trash sport

The SEC is in full "get as many teams in the tournament" mode. We'll be lucky to win 2 more games.

 

[volatil]

Not fair. If not for him we get blown out. He had 14 of our 29 at halftime. Lots of reasons we lost. Least of which was Fulkerson.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the basketball experts on message boards make football experts look really smart.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I noticed that South Carolina got their notice of allegations meanwhile LSU and Will Wade are still trucking along.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

late to the convo, but maybe some of you science minded folk can explain ...

If time/the experience or observation of time is relative to the speed you are traveling, and it slows as you approach the speed of light...

For a photon of light shooting out from a star 15 million of light years away from the earth, would it seem to that photon as if it arrived to the earth almost instantaneously? Because, you know, it’s going the speed of light.

I realize that, to a human time keeper on earth, it took 15 million years of earth-measured time for that star’s photon to get to us. But I would think, from the photon’s perspective that it would seem much shorter, if not instantaneous.

This time it didn’t work.

Guessing I have these experts on ignore. I’ve taken the @Ulysees E. McGill approach to folks who jump on the Barnes is robbing the university argument.

Take away their food source and they start gnawing on their own carcass...sound.

I didn't have time to go place that bet.

This place is mostly fine. It’s VQ that’s a nightmare right now.

This year is what it is. Losing Turner was a death blow to the teams chances at a tournament bid and they were slim then. Best to look at this season as a warmup to next season. Everybody back except Bowden whose regressed. Better times ahead.

 

[LynxVol]

He went 25 and 9 tonight.

The real woof....Bowden disappears again with 5 pts.

Also lets give that SCjr defender an Oscar for his flopping performance.

2nd half Fulk was much better from the line.

Just finished the game. TOs continue to hurt us, and officiating didn’t help us at all regardless of SC’s foul trouble.

Agree on Bowden. Didn’t try to make any plays tonight. Jalen Johnson barely played in the 2nd half, and I think his length and athleticism could’ve helped on defense in a close game.

 

[LynxVol]

One of the final plays on offense showed, one, how much Bowden didn’t want to make a play or take responsibility as a leader on the team, and two, how much Vescovi needs to learn when playing against physical, deny defense.

More frustrated with Bowden though. Vescovi gets a break because he’s young and inexperienced. Plus, he’s been playing pretty well the past couple games. Honestly think this team would lose more without Vescovi than without Bowden. JMO.

 

[LynxVol]

SC averaged 14 FTs per game before tonight. Someone stat check that. How many did they have tonight? 30? Seems fair.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

U cant lose Grant, Admiral, Bone, Kyle, Turner, and expect to be really good the next year. Not sure why people dont get that. This year is frustrating after the last two but look ahead. Next year we add Keon, Springer, Walker, and Bailey. Plus probably a big man in the Spring. Next year TN is easily a top 15 team

 

[Devo182]

Every single game. Win or lose. It's exhausting. I just avoid that place on bball game day now. We'll be up 20 and there will be 2 threads on how Barnes should be disappointed in his performance

Because some think you pay x dollars and will subsequently receive y wins, despite the correlation being a reverse one...or at least they act like they believe it. Maybe they aren't that naive and just want to bisch about anything.

Either way, I can't take their ilk. The top recruiting class, probably ever, is coming in... I, for one, am ecstatic. This was always a bridge year.
