Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[ConwayFitty]

we win that game if Ole Miss can't do the BS "injuries"

I feel like there has to be a rule added for "Player Safety" since that is the reasoning for everything they are doing now. You go down you miss the rest of the possession. Second time down your game is over.

White and Plowman are weak as hell if they accept that and pay said fine

We’re cutting them the big golf sized check…

 

[jordan4vols]

It’s window dressing. All it is right now is a fine. That’s because After this “punishment” the news story goes away. Nothing will be “followed up” on.

I love how so many people have intimate knowledge of what is going on in the inner workings of the Tennessee athletics department and with broader University leadership, the Southeastern Conference office AND all 13 other SEC universities simultaneously. This is really refreshing that you all have made it so simple.

We are thanks to Heupel, who did nothing but compliment fans today. Danny and Donde ran to berate us. Donde being worse.

Danny and Donde have to try to control the fans…..we were hitting our own fans with trash…. People was throwing things from the upper deck…. We ran our own cheerleaders off the field…. You cannot allow that to continue…. Quit being so sensitive about a couple of tweets…. Josh isn’t here without Danny…. That atmosphere was helped to be created by Danny…. Danny wouldn’t be here without donde…. Let our administration work and quit being so critical over things that don’t really matter.

Not really they are just writing us a slightly smaller check when they split up the conference earnings at the end of the season

 

[VolGee4]

There is nothing weak about that. Why do some of you think an official statement is the same as that person's feelings toward the situation? I would take a guess that Danny White is not happy with the officiating, and he and Heupel will discuss it with the league.

Yes, I read that but commenting about a big assed check was a better response.

I appreciate how Coach Heup protects his players and not putting their health at risk but Coop looked really healthy on the sidelines Saturday night.
Didn't seem gimpy at all and the lord knows we could have used him..

To be honest I think a part of holding him out further is that Carvin is learning the position of C with game action. Cooper has at least 3 years of eligibility left and could potentially get a RS this year depending on how much action he sees, don't be surprised if he doesn't play against Bama either. It's a measured plan, but one I don't hate.

These are the guys who have already used a RS. Typically on the OL you always try to RS the freshmen or guys not in the 2 deep. Cooper has only played I think in 2 or 3 games so far.

Yep….. just like Heup…. It won’t be done in public

 

[dwaugh]

SEC is a joke

Is that 250k to be used to compensate the refs?

This is impossible....people on this board have told us what Danny White is feeling/thinking and how weak his response is. He can't possibly be having conversations with people in private...the only conversations he has are on Twitter.

On TN website it says 2 for Cooper. BG and UF. I thought Pit was the game he got hurt in but guess not

We are very lucky to have Danny white, imo

would they have a choice? im no fan of plowman but, be reasonable here

 

[pierce60]

I agree. He is doing a great job IMO.

Plus, I think Donde is doing a good job.....<looks around for flying water bottles>

 

[bpvol]

Gosh, I hope he succeeds here! Most likable coach Tennessee has had in a very long time.

Heupel gets it.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Even if they paid it behind the scenes. Make a public statement and act tough thay you aren't paying until the refs get punished. There is no precedent for this, it's stupid and ridiculous.

Anyone in UT leadership could literally shoot you and you would still defend them to the core. What donde did to our program is inexcusable and I will never like her for it. You never do what she did, ever.

For those who don't like the fine....would you rather pay the $250,000 or have them suspend beer sales for the rest of the year?

If I'm the university I would pay the fine and move on....

SIAP…love these:

So even if you KNOW the NCAA knows you're cheating or you know that you're so bad at cheating they will find out eventually (and I firmly believe that would've happend) you aren't proactive in an effort to curry favor?
