Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

He becomes a legend if he beats UF in year 1. Not gonna happen, but would be great. Unfortunately, the Pitt game was a big game to lose.

Pitt game looks a whole lot better if you go into the swamp and come out with a W. Vols by 14 #WGWTFA

Who's saying that!?

Scroll back a couple of pages. The suggestion was thrown out there.

The Bailey haters are so weird. Probably 90% of them were jumping up and down cheering when he threw those incomplete passes

I think all the QB haters are weird.

We have Milton haters, Hooker haters, and Bailey haters, as well as, fans of each.

I don't really understand why people can't just prefer one over the others without hating on the others.

I prefer Hooker because I've seen him move the offense better than the other two. That preference would change if another QB moves the offense better as the season wears on.

I think some folks are getting carried away in the defense of their preference, and it's causing them to unnecessarily sh*t on the others.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I like the squad and love the staff, gonna hope like hell they upset the Gators and Florida blew their load with Bama.

Guess what, even if Florida kicks the dog **** out of us I'll be here next week hyped to see us play Missouri, and then South Carolina...

I don't hate any of them...I just think they have sucked so far. I just want one of them to see and hit the recievers that are running wide ass open...I don't think that is too much to ask.

 

[Jimmy Football]

But what if his name was Hendon HighPricedCallGirl?

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Really liked Heupels demeanor during this weeks Pc. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but he certainly seemed more business focused today. Think he recognizes the importance of this week.

He seemed pissed to me. That's a good thing. Hopefully Milton comes out against Florida and looks similar to Crompton vs UGA in 2009.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Hey you whiskey snobs, is michters small batch bourbon good?

Early times is great

 

[mrMet]

Early times is great

Lmfao yeah for 75 year old rednecjs

 

[butchna]

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

Not trying to win means there’s no point in useless charades. Losing happens…apathy destroys. I hope nothing you want for this program ever happens.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I mean...it took Lane a bit to get Crompton to look serviceable. If Milton is a better QB and Heupel as good or a better QB guru maybe we'll see Milton turn the corner faster.



And even then Crompton was hella inaccurate even when he did start playing better.

 

[Catbone]

Milton this weekend: 10-22 115 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT. 15 yards rushing.

Hooker this weekend: 9-16 86 yards, 1 TD, 1Int. 40 yards rushing 1 TD. 1-2 fumbles.

Both get sacked multiple times.

This is what I imagine will happen this weekend. None of our QB’s have played in the swamp.

Yep and a final score of about 41-10

 

[butchna]

Yeah, I think Garner, Martinez and Heupel as HC are no-brainer upgrades. The others we might be able to go back and forth on a little.

I don’t know - I think we’ve overcorrected on how we think about the last staff because of how it ended.

The problem to me - and it’s been this way since 2016 - is that the roster has not been very good.

ST is waves better so Ekeler > Graham in that department and would you take Felton over him?

 

[SoilVol]

My prediction: We continue to see a healthy mix of Hooker and Milton the rest of the season. Not as a QB controversy but as a balancing act of "trying to win with a veteran" and "trying to get the young guy experience and hit that moment when it 'clicks' for him."

Next prediction: Milton will be the starter in 2022. Everything happening right now is in anticipation of that imo. Getting him live-fire experience and putting him in positions to win close games or take over games.

Honestly, I see some parallels to Kellen Mond. He's not gonna be as great as we want him to be, but he might turn out to be good enough to win some good games.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

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

 

[Christian Lowe]

I know you’re usually ridiculing me when you post gifs but god your taste in movies and tv is awesome so I can’t even be mad lma

Not ridiculing you, just the idea.

It’s that younger generations mentality….you compete as hard as you can against Florida…. Don’t give them anything.

 

[jave36]

A bunch of bourbons like that now. You in Nashville area? Also, what other good bourbon would you compare it to

Man COVID wrecked my taste and smell about a year ago and I still haven't recovered it all, so it's hard for me to do that kind of comparison anymore. I remember which ones were good and weren't, but I have the sophisticated taste of a high schooler now.

But if I remember correctly it's like a better version of Buffalo Trace or a more complex Eagle Rare.

I used to live in Nashville, but I'm in Northwest Arkansas, so better bourbons are harder to come by.

On the flip side, it's probably not considered odd at all to look at your sister naked, in case you're ever in that situation!

(that's an Arkansas joke, I'm not trying to infer that you have an inappropriate relationship with your sister)

 

[LA Vol]

Nobody's giving up on Milton. It was anticipated that injuries would be an issue for UT this year-- and they already are. Some guys will be playing dinged up as long as they can go and be rested when they can. We just don't have quality depth, and it's a long season with winnable games ahead. They can plan for two QBs and try to keep Bailey from portaling-- and they expected to do that.

It's in the same ball park as Old Forester 1910, Blanton's, and Woodford Double-oaked
