Who hacked RonSwanson's account,?

If they don’t then they are delusional. Which is fine, in sports (as a player) you always have to think you have a chance. But I don’t have to think that way.

Surely you don’t think it’ll be that bad

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Bold strategy, cotton… not a bad idea honestly. Kind of hang it up for the teams you know will **** you up (UF, UGA, Bama, Ole Miss) so you have a better shot with the few games that are somewhat winnable

Exactly.

 

[Smokeytom]

Not this year. The fans are already gone, there’s 20-30,000 empty seats per game. His team would lose to those teams by 30-50 anyways. And his job is secure for at least half a decade regardless of what he does.

Just make a bowl for the extra practices.

So do you tell the team “we are packing it in this week” before or after they read off the Maxims??

Depends on who we’re playing. I think UF will be a 49-20 type game similar to 07. We hang close for a half then they blow the doors open in the second.

Bama will boat race us, they always win around 49-10ish against us

Ole Miss will be around 62-35 considering neither team is good at defense

UGA will be like the USC game this past Saturday.

We haven’t played any SEC schools and our games have been at noon.. it will look a lot different at Neyland once we get into the SEC schedule

 

[MoCo_Vol]

He had 199 yards against freakin Tennessee Tech..that would have been a great statline for that one game.

But didn't play 2 quarters of the game... He ran one series to start the 3rd and then it was Bailey the rest of the way.

Idc what you tell them to not hurt they’re feelings, just don’t get them hurt for games we’re sure to lose anyways

Let’s play the games and see

 

[BigSteve09]

Trying to win games that we know we will lose by 30-50 points could hurt us down the line vs teams that could make us bowl eligible if we’re healthy. Gotta see the long game fella

Pros: maybe we save some bodies and energy for winnable games, and make a bowl. Getting to a bowl could be good for recruiting.

Cons: conceding games, especially "rivalries", will negatively impact the brand and negatively impact recruiting. But we might not make a bowl if we incur injuries or go into winnable games limping.


Catch-22

 

[MoCo_Vol]

If we manage to come back above 500 after these two road games that South Carolina crowd will be big I think.

Alright guys, gather round.

[Flips Maxims board around]

Repeat after me, "it's OKAY to be TERRIBLE"

 

[Kingston Vol]

IMO everybody just needs to accept this.

I'll be watching and drinking on Saturday, but I'm not about to get upset over anything. This is what it is.

We will not be competitive in these games until the offensive and defensive lines are rebuilt.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

This whole board thought we were going 3-9 after we lost to Georgia State and BYU. Same thing is happening this year and we’re 2-1 with a better coaching staff

It’s two weeks away and a lot can happen between now and then, but it would be surprising (and impressive) to me if we can flip the switch and beat Missouri after getting pushed around by Florida.

 

[TrippieRedd]

This whole board thought we were going 3-9 after we lost to Georgia State and BYU. Same thing is happening this year and we’re 2-1 with a better coaching staff

And we are scoring more points

So lie to the team? Haha man please never become a coach and leader of young men

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

A lot more points

I am not saying you are wrong - you very well could be right. But what evidence do you have to suggest this coaching staff is better than the last?

Again, I am not flaming, trolling or looking for an argument. I just want to know what you see.

 

[tnvols72]

15 of his 17 completions were within 5 yards of the LOS. That’s why. He can’t pass. Also 4 fumbles and an interception

While all of this is true, lets just be honest. The only reason Milton does not have more turnovers is because nobody can get close to any of his passes.

 

[VolzMan53]

In all my 50+ years of Fl vs UT, I have always had one thought come game time....WGWTMFA !
Check back with me at halftime tho, things may have changed !

Coaches lie all the time dude

This. The SEC is a line of scrimmage league. We have to rebuild our lines, especially offensive line.
