Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

I got a friend that is a yuuuuge Cocks fan. He tries to talk smack and gets shut down real quick. It's embarrassing actually. You need to buck up.

Cock fans have been smack talking since they joined the conference. They're loyal as hell to their team but that team is historically one of the worst in all of football.

They only had one team that was ever worth a damn and they lost to us.

So that team that won the East and 3 straight 11-2 seasons doesn’t count?

Oh wow! It was much easier for me to have smaller portions after I got better. I guess my stomach shrunk. It was a big ordeal for me to make myself eat anything at all while I was sick.

yeah i lost 30 myself in 2 weeks, had pneumonia and was dehydrated in a bad way. Spent 2 nights in the hospital , actually have kept the weight off since ...this was all back in May

Late replying to this, but this off-season in my dynasty league, I traded away Aiyuk and received a 1st rd pick and Cooper Kupp. Feeling really good about that trade.

Dude great trade

I truly believe we stuff Florida's run game. And UF throwing the ball falls right in our game plan. Vols win 34-24, @ me

Awesome! Glad you recovered

The team that won the East went 9-5.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Never touch a Tennessee Florida game

I've lost money on this game two years in a row. Thirds a charm? Or either I'm insane.

 

[pierce60]

If it's Hooker than that's all he is good at.

If it gets the job done and moved the chains I don’t care if he completes a pass beyond 10 yards all damn day haha

When’s the last time we won the East?

3 years before that…too bad you were in elementary school.

 

[utvolmaniac]

Since I got to high school we’re 5-6 against them.

Makes you a millennial, I believe. Explains a lot.

are you really trying to talk up the usce gamecocks right now? Lol… they’re historically a dog sht program and nowhere remotely close to the level of UT. It shouldn’t even be a discussion

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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

Florida's qb's have half their rushing yards so far. But I'm not sure they've faced a fundamentally sound defense yet. I watched the UF vs UA game intermittently and it looked like Alabama was missing tackles they should've had.

UT held TTU to 35 yards rushing. Furman held them to 28.

Why not just say…”You know what, you are right. South Carolina is garbage. Always has been, always will be. Go Vols.”

Would be a lot more fun than defending a 3 year stretch of being good for a program that you claim to despise.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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

If you're going to do something that pussified loserish you might as well just forfeit and not show up at all that might be the most stupid thing I have heard in here..sickening.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I guarantee you the players don’t think they’ll lose by 30-50 points to anybody

That simple fact is why I am still at 14-1.

This team is not quitting.

 

[UTgrad2015]

The line opened at 17.5 and it’s up to 19.5. If it goes up to 25 I might bet on us

I can’t see us losing by 23 plus IMO

*Famous last words of any bettor I know*

It wouldn't work out anyway.

No offense, but that's such a loser mentality. Heck no. You play to win no matter the opponent. If a coach and team are so soft they concede games to good teams then they aren't tough enough to win the coin flip games.
