Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[SpringBokVol]

I think it is important to realize how good of a game we played on Saturday was and how bad of a defense they had.

I love all the hype, hope and optimism on the board. Don't let the first sign of adversity get you down on Saturday.

I won't be as easy as it was the rest of the year.

If we execute well we see what can be accomplished, but we will play much better defenses and that makes it harder to execute.

Our team will also have some miscues - turnovers, penalties, etc. Don't get consumed by the mistakes.

This is a growing year and proving that the system and coaching staff work - for the first time in a long time, things are looking up on Rocky Top.

Just try keep it all in perspective.

How about this, so far this year, uga has looked like the best team in the country.

That is in the eye of the beholder bud

I checked out this thread and thought for a minute I had somehow ventured onto Vogue.

Care to explain how you would know?….

 

[Batman1948]

Who would have thunk it

Does anyone know what really happened to the Smokey grey uniforms and helmets? Do we still have them or did Pruitt/Fulmer throw them away? I know they didn’t want them but wouldn’t we still have access and ability to get them easily? The QBs wore the jerseys during spring game. Seems like we should easily be able to break those out at some point.

At one point those helmets were up for sale, but the asking price was quite high so I don’t know how many sold. I want to say they were asking somewhere around $750 to $1000 for a single helmet so the average fan probably didn’t pull the trigger.

According to The Athletic, the “extra 7” signing thing has passed.

NCAA D-I Council approves 1-year signing limits waiver to account for transfers

Watch Bama sign 32 4 and 5 star guys this year and still manage to be at 85 scholarship players. The rich will get richer with this ruling

I think this would be sick

 

[bigorange]

Would rather them be black but I don’t hate it as much as I thought I would

Bottom left was my first avi on VN, 2005 media guide cover IIRC

I’ll be stuck in the Omaha area Friday-Monday. Anybody know of any good sports bars they recommend…..I tried Applebee’s…..didn’t like it

I think the 7-11 has a bar

 

[Batman1948]

Nice way of throwing some shade at a former coach

Almost every player, who didn't transfer, says the same thing. It's not throwing shade if it's true.

all drivers nationwide, 3PL. Do flat beds, LTLs, regular trailers and reefers

 

[Smokeytom]

Only reason that turd is in first is I had to check into my hotel room when it was my pick and I thought I had picked Georgia D and I got Cincy D instead. Asterisk season.

Oh sure, sure

 

[TrippieRedd]

Want a jersey for each color, then mix n match combinations for games.

Care to explain how you would know?….

I am married and I've sat in the waiting room of many a doctor's offices.

 

[bigorange]

What’s our record in the alternate unis?

3-3 in the greys I believe

 

[BruinVol]

Good restaurant suggestions in Baton Rouge….

And I said “good,” not Applebee’s.

Mike Andersons Restaurant

 

[BigSteve09]

3-3 in the greys I believe

Adidas Greys - these shouldn't count
2013 UGA - L (so close)
2013 Vandy - L (gross)

Nike Greys
2015 UGA - W
2016 Florida - W
2016 Nebraska - W

Can't remember the other? Probably a sad smackdown in 17

 

[VFL1993]

3-3 in the greys I believe

We only played 6 games in the greys?!? It felt like we were wearing those things every other week.

I just lost my balance, fell out of my chair, and threw up all over myself.
What the HECK is this!?

I like it. It's hard to look at. Psychological advantage.

 

[itsme]

I dont mind the white helmets, but have wanted to see a Smokey logo on a helmet. Or the rifleman although I doubt that ever happens. Last idea would be the old school Vols lettering that would be cool too.

I've wanted the rifleman over the Vols star logo since I can remember.

41-0 L to UGA in 2017

We've played the #4 (Pitt) & #10 (MO) passing offenses in the country. They've played Georgia (#60 passing offense) & Kentucky (#86 passing offense). The strength of South Carolina's defense has been it's pass defense, ranked #12 in the nation. Their run defense is ranked #68. Both us and Kentucky had similar rushing numbers against Florida and we did over 100 yards better against Missouri than Kentucky. Kentucky was at home and we were on the road. Kentucky rushed for 230 yards against South Carolina. We may go over 300. jmo.

I'm not exaggerating when I say, according to ESPN efficiency numbers South Carolina's offense is worse coming into our game than Missouri's defensive efficiency was before we visited Columbia, Mo. Missouri's defensive efficiency dropped from 28.2% to 15.5% after our visit. South Carolina's offensive efficiency coming into our game is 25.5%. Missouri was at 80.1% efficiency on offense before facing our defense. Our defensive efficiency is right there with South Carolina. We're both right around 70%. Our offensive efficiency is also close to 70% so which would you rather have? A 70% efficient offense or a 25% efficient offense. The defenses could be a wash but try attacking our defense with a 25% efficient offense and those guys will likely be in a pretty big hurry to get back to Columbia, SC. jmo.

Give him one of these.

He’s not my type.
But thanks for the suggestion
