Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Aaron Rodgers is staying with the Packers. Shocker.

I can’t find it. When does spring practice start?

 

[drvenner]

Why does this make you sad?

Whatever gets crap games out of the sacred fall football season, I’m an advocate for. I hate FCS games.

I’m not sure how a spring game versus an FCS opponent will matter much if there is no consequence though. Seems both teams would roll out third teamers and we’re watching scout teams play by the fourth. Sounds good, just looking down the pike and see it flaming out.

They are having "something", locally broadcasting it, and having recruits to it.

It is not the right something. Not my decision obviously and I will get over it, but I really like attending those games.

I mean, head to TTU, TSU, UTC, the Liberty Bowl, the new Nashville SC stadium, anywhere. It’s not like this was a surprise. The construction was approved last summer which gives 9+ months to plan. A smaller stadium might actually be better. Heck, loop it in with the Big Orange Caravan, and have recruits invited to mingle with boosters.

Just a missed opportunity, that’s all.

Please quit bringing logic and planning to this forum. TIA.

They're doing this with this version of the spring game, but on campus... which is the same idea, but better.

Fans are not attending. It is only being streamed to Volunteer village. How is that better or has it changed since they announced it?

 

[engineerVOL]

Can they still practice in Neyland or is the field FUBAR?

 

[drvenner]

Thanks, Jimmy?

Boom!! @Jackcrevol

I was shocked that s-k-e-e-t was incorrect

 

[DeusExMachina]

Another "idea" for the O&W game: what's the biggest HS stadium in the greater Knoxville area?? Alcoa, Maryville, Knox Catholic?? Yeah, you lose some seats but think of the goodwill that you'd build with those programs. We weren't getting 100K into Neyland even if the renovations were done (let's be honest here), why not do an alternate site game a couple miles down the road??

The post I responded to said that it's a missed opportunity to have recruits in. My point is that they will have recruits in.

No clue how I passed my drug test

Did you do a cleaner? Mega Clean Detox has helped me pass a few.

O-W game shoulda been played at Nissan Stadium...or delay it a couple of weeks and have it in the brand spanking new Nashville SC stadium:

Not having it at all is sacrilegious and a missed recruiting opportunity.

Excited for that stadium to open. Games will be even more fun now.

The latter.

It's better for recruits. They get VIP treatment and they'll still interact with donors because there'll be donors attending the game. It just won't be open to the public.

 

[Ten_Titans]

The Spring game isn't for recruits damnit lol.

I would be curious why they didn't just do it in Nashville. That made total sense to me.

 

[volbeast33]

They will never win anything due to this very reason:

The latter.

Well we don’t want Hendo and Ced to fall into the excavations or crash into a concrete truck.

 

[Vols4us]

As long as the FCS schools get a big payday for doing it........I'm in. If not............NO.

Agree. They should get the same or not do it. If they do it helps them as much as the FCS. Their weaknesses get revealed against better comp and have the off season to recover from injuries.
