Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[mr.checkerboards]

Is there a betting thread on here, where you guys share your opinions on the best bets every week?

I don't gamble, but thought about maybe a couple small bets, since it's so accessible online these days. Y'all know a lot and it would be nice to parlay that knowledge.

Would be cool if chatta had a thread where he posts his model's prediction at the beginning of the week.

The Pub has a sports betting thread

Read through it a bit. I guess I'm too green. I was looking for something more straight forward. I probably have too much to learn and may be better off staying away from gambling.

Tennessee doesn't beat Alabama. Tennessee needs to look at the big picture.

I completely agreed with this but Swain swayed my opinion this morning on his radio show. Our coaches have these kids believing. Laying up on purpose Sounds like a pretty clear message to your team.

So we need to have a junior varsity squad to play against top ten teams? They want their chance.

SS I always agree with you, but this is bama and it's just not worth it this year... I have to agree with Cbone on this... To be clear, if we were at full strength and Hooker wanted to go, I'd say full speed, and I think we could pull the upset... That's simply not the case at this point. Our O line is slaw, Evans isn't 100%, we've got some guys still out on defense... If we are forcing this and he gets hurt again, then Cbone will rage on this board and I might actually join him... We have KY SA and Candy to finish strong and ahead of expectations, why take a chance to screw all that up against bama, at home, dinged up, with the refs in their pocket?? No win situation.

Relax. That is literally a list of facts that you quoted. Curious to see what Heupel's first year Vols can do.

Sorry, thought you were implying that kiffin got us almost to the promised land of beating bama. I am still so pissed off about his tactics that I overreacted.

Time to move forward to hating bama and laughing insanely after we beat them Saturday.

this place is gonna be straight CRAZY if Hooker gets hurt again along with the L to roe tawd... SMFH....... Really hope I am wrong, but good luck stopping bama's D line with our O line... hope that cortizone shot he gets pre-game will make him run like the wind bullseye...

I think the Braves are in trouble. Dodger bats are waking up and Scherzer and Buehler both have shutdown potential. If they lose tomorrow night, the pressure in Game 7 will be immense.

I think the Braves were up 3-1 last year and ended up folding so it wont surprise me if they blow it

Bullsnit!

They always blow it. Dodgers are our 98 Yankees.

Alright when he gets hurt lemme know

What is your narrative going to be if he does not get hurt against Bama but gets hurt against Ky? Your track record on anything sucks but you keep on trying.

Read Charger’s post on this. I agree with him. The staff have the kids believing in them and in themselves. How do you think these same players react if they are told “we don’t see any need of some of you playing against them, they are going to win anyway. Let’s save your playing time against a team we think we could win against”? That would be the fastest way to lose the team. We’d be back to being a team with players laughing with each other on the sidelines while we are losing.

Have any of you guys in the "bench the starters" crowd ever played in college? Ever played on an organized squad older than 16? Ever played at all?

 

[beneVOLence]

He won that job as well but got injured and then benched.

The fate series is peak animation.

Actually anything made by ufotable is peak.

Have you watched Star Wars Visions?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Have you watched Star Wars Visions?

Yeah I actually enjoyed it. I think episode one was my favorite

 

[Smokey123]

We gotta get a couple of those toss ups next year.

I agree and I think we will. I believe in huep. Beat the teams we should, win a game or two that are top up/losses. It’s what separates the good/great and average/bad coaches

 

[SweetasSoda]

The big picture is the TEAM. You don’t tell the team I am not going to allow this one to get hurt but these players can.

 

[Catbone]

What would you do if Vols actually beat Bama?

It would be the single greatest upset in Tennessee history, so probably cry tears of joy

 

[barrylee]

Yep…. Win 106 games and have to play a 1 game playoff…. SMH

Agree and I'm a Cardinal fan my entire life. I would have been pizzed if Cards won 106 and could have been booted with one game. Braves won 88 games I think and they get 4 home games?? Messed up..

LSU found their Gruden.. it’s someone else’s turn!!!

 

[Brillovol]

Not giving your ALL against Bama is a beta move.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If Hooker gets hurt this weekend, I wanna see some of yall keel this energy up when this team ends up with 5 wins because it has no QB.
