Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[UTK]

AP also said we wouldn’t wear black til we got the black helmets in. so just maybe we do pull out the greys next week

Smokey Grey deserves to come back. I know some people are done with them because they were introduced under Butch, but who cares. They are awesome uniforms and I like the new black, but they don't even compare to the smokey grey imo.

Idk if its in our contract to only wear them once. But this helmet, white tops, black pants, black gloves, and white cleats would look clean.

I loved the mountains on the smoky gray helmets. They need to trim that orange Power T out with some white or something though.

Not a booster himself. More like an associate. Asked by other booster/boosters to help change the way the old regime was making decisions. It was a booster struggle, but the old guard was clearly assisting the AD in making poor choices. Specifically, they wanted the Haslam's to step aside from influencing the AD's decisions.

So they have some dude post on message boards? Helps me understand how the Haslams and the old guard held on for so long. The new folks were incompetent.

Wasn't here Saturday, but I'm sure this was brought up.

Why do you all think Hooker was kept in (and running quite a bit) so deep into the game? That was one thing I didn't get. I figured if he stayed in they'd at least practice some passing concepts. Not a negative comment, but curious...

You don’t let up in an SEC game (well, maybe Vandy). But I think Heupel wanted to make a point, too. As I posted Monday, Heupel told Barry Odom that he was going to put it to them if he could.

That image makes me want to clean my screen. They need to do a full render or just leave it white without simulating any shading.

I think part of that was getting the younger OL guys quality reps still running the same plays that were being successful.

Something you can show 'em on tape "here's how 1st team guys ran it....here's what you did"

Is there a reason why? Was he trying to get revenge on Odom's behalf? Heupel left voluntarily.

How do you quickly reach a mass of people these days? Social media. You can reach thousands of UT fans just by posting on this site and VQ. It’s the only avenue (without it being a school event like at Neyland). Certainly doesn’t reach everyone, but it’s a quick and easy way to attempt to get a point across.

Based on the number, I’d like to think Kendal Vickers but there’s another player who wears the same number whose name I’d rather not mention

Wear Alex’s helmet with pride! Lol

Ouch...I have feelings.

There isn't any shading simulated, it's got 3 lights on it in my model and the white has specks of black in it.

Lol Cat was watching Bray bone his cousin, now I know where your handle came from

Cat's cousin's name is probably Catherine.

Yeah Smoky Grey for the T & Numbers on black does look pretty nice.

One game at a time. Focus on USCe. Uniforms don't matter. Yes wear a uniform. Pls make no allusions to Okie St. U.'s style and colors. The black crosses for lost Vols in the 60's was appropriate on helmet. Leave the new-fangled trim alone.

Edit: Too late I guess.

 

[VolGee4]

No idea. But they apparently are still friendly, and my guess is Heupel respects Odom as a defensive coach. Odom was fired after a 6-6 year and had 2 winning seasons before that.

I just want to say we will be 9-4 after our bowl win.

Soon?

And this is WHY YOU DO IT

Cat's cousin's name is probably Catherine.

Or Brayboned

We will be 11-2 after winning the SEC title
