Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

If you wear special jerseys (in our case black), you can't give up more than 16 points on defense. And you have to have at least one epic special teams play.

If we go black jerseys with white helmet it needs to look similar to Nebraska’s “blackshirts”. white helmet, black jersey, black socks & cleats….

That’s really clean. We could do something similar with gray helmet and pants and black jersey

Let’s pray USC scoops him up. I’m afraid Florida will can Mullen and welcome Urban back with open arms.

He won’t go back to that. Faked a medical clinic to get out of there the first time.

SC has only scored 1 more offensive TD through 5 games than we did against just Missouri. Idc how close this series traditionally has been the last decade, we're covering the spread pretty easily this weekend.

Their defense is a lot better than mizzous

And a back who hits a video game spin move on someone

There's a great Bill Burr bit where he talks about this.

Ya see all these fat blobs on the news talkin about Tiger Woods Arnold Scharzenegger etc "oh my gosh reprehensible behavior"

They have no idea what it's like to have a bus load of Scandinavian women ready to f*** his brains out after he walks off the 18th hole!

Where he talks about how Arnold is one of the greatest men ever lol.. he has lived the American dream

Bill Burr is one of the goats. This bit is hilarious and all true. Love it.

Mods moved it here. Guess they didn't like my post

Is @SergeantVol a mod now? So help me, if he is causing all of this mess, he will pay very dearly for his crimes.

+1 for Bill Burr, dude is always on point

He's as close to our generation's version of Carlin as we'll get

 

[drvenner]

Now that is walking the walk!

Dabo? Haha yeah right. He’s not an X’s and O’s guy. He’s a cheerleader. He’s fail miserably in the NFL. Almost as badly as he would in the SEC.

Exactly my point. Neither suggestion would wprk out for the Jags, and it would screw those universities too.

Thanks, now they are going to do nothing but point fingers at each other. We will get to read that for 47 pages.

So it was you!

This article has some nice perspective based on our SP+ rating. We’re currently trending better than Butch and Pruitt’s second year and that is with a depleted roster.

It’s five weeks; we’ll see. But in this metric at least, the Vols have moved from “Better than most of the last five years,” to “Faster pace than Dooley’s early rebuild,” to “On pace with Butch and Pruitt in year two,” to “…Okay, I don’t know what to do with this team, but I’m excited about the possibilities.”

I believe our offense can be just as potent in passing as they are at running. If scar sells out to stop the run, we might get 400-500yds through the air. If we prove we can do that, no one is safe moving forward.

Their defense is a lot better than mizzous

Who have they played? UK still put up 300+ yards and their offense is mediocre at best. Their rush defense ranks pretty poorly. Tenn wins 27-10.

Urban Meyer’s job is apparently in danger.

It would be awesome if he got fired and had not won a single game.

Yes, Larry Pratt covered salary reductions for lower tier staffers so their families wouldn't suffer financial hardships during the pandemic. He's a major donor for all marquee sports-- Pratt Pavilion and locker room complex for bball, multiple phases of Neyland stadium renos and new LNS renos. He takes the role of lead donor, kickstarting fundraising and getting others on board.

He was the major player for LNS expansion, pushing things forward while UT was waffling a bit. The Pratts also have multiple endowments. He's a great guy who likes working behind the scenes to get things done. Wish we had more like him.

LA, you say wish we had more like him...

Maybe you can answer this for me, or maybe you have before, and I just missed it...how many more do we need? As far as our boosters, those that are big money, and those that are big BIG money, how do we stack up against Bama and UGA in that department? Numbers wise? Do they have 10, 20 big players, and we have 5 to 7? Do we have just as many? Your best guess, or opinion?

They played the best team in the country

Outside of UGA they haven't played any good offenses. Even then, they gave up nearly the same yardage to UGA as UAB and Vandy did.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Their defense is a lot better than mizzous

It is better for sure, but they're still giving up 5.3 yards per carry over their last 3 games. Including 4.8 yards per carry last week to Troy that was averaging 2.4 yards per carry coming into the game so they're trending the wrong way.

I think we can run on them well this weekend, but they are one of the best teams in the country in takeaways which worries me a little bit.

@nicksjuzunk, we are going to need you to get the game thread up and running TODAY!! I’m pretty sure you had it up on Tuesday last week, and you know how superstitious the Vol fanbase is. If you don’t and we don’t play like last week, then it is ENTIRELY your fault! TIA
