Hooker processes everything at an extremely high level. He calls his own pass protections on the fly, from play to play.

Hooker stays extremely calm, like it's no big deal to have a minute on the clock and need to go the length of the field.

I think this is the most impressive. We don’t know half the stuff that HH is responsible for and calling at the line.

He always seems in control.

He processes information at a blazing speed and always throws to the right place and normally extremely accurately.

Cannot be overstated enough and it comes from his head coach, who's played the position....and also keeps his composure. HH is a joy to watch play,

People in the ff changing pre-season expectations now. No longer is 8-4 a successful season. It has to be 11-1 or 12-0 to be considered a success.

I'd hate to go 8-4 at this point, but this season would still be a great success if that happened.

Nat-trul gas lol

Theyve worked on refining Joe Milton and his touch. Taught him he doesn't have to rip every pass and how to know when to use finesse.

He still throws a fastball over the middle that our guys can't catch

Pics?

I posted earlier lol

Some say it's not the original.

It is about time for someone to make a replica mini mug of the beer barrel. Would sell like hotcakes

Halzle listed off all the stuff he's responsible for, but I couldn't type fast enough and my memory sucks. He's basically in control of absolutely everything after the play call. He has to be, in order to run at a high pace. He very rarely makes a mistake on his reads and calls.

This game makes me nervous...I hope the team comes out intense and pissed off, because Kentucky sure as hell is going to come out swinging and pissed off. They want our scalp...bad..to make up for all the rest of this season of disappointment.

If we match that anger and intensity, we should beat the piss out of them, but if not..they could ruin everything.

No…. It wouldn’t bc that would mean that we would have lost to four of kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri, and Vanderbilt.

I totally understand what you are saying.

But to get to 4 losses we would have to lose to Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina and Mizzou.

There is just no way I can swallow that pill at the end and be happy.

Still successful in what we had going and how we overcame some historical obstacles.

But that would suck. Bad.

Good news: it ain’t happening.

I don’t think we lose a game.

15-0. For real.

A lot of that is bc it is very hard for other teams to hide coverages…. They have to show what they are going to do pre-snap.

I don’t think we lose a game. Not with the way the Vols are playing.

Yes. It would. Beat UF, beat LSU, beat Bama, beat Pitt. That alone is grounds for a successful season based on pre-season ideas and where we're coming from with the roster we have.

Helmet just needs an orange tinted visor

I think they’re pretty awesome as is, but I would like to keep the dark visor and see what orange face mask would look like.

 

[NighthawkVol]

I've had my crow, being epically wrong about Pruitt, the head coach; but, I'd take him in a heartbeat as a DC...as Saban will, the exact moment he has the chance.

Pruitt’s upcoming show cause may not expire before Saban retires.

Apparently, real football involves an overhyped QB on a bad football team.

I'm sure it won't happen. But in the bigger picture, 8-4 would still be a success with the wins we have. We're not losing a game this year, but even if we finish 8-4, it would still be a success for y2.

I mean, if we were 8-4, would you rather it be with wins over SC & Mizzou or Florida and Alabama?

 

[volbeast33]

Yes. It would. Beat UF, beat LSU, beat Bama, beat Pitt. That alone is grounds for a successful season based on pre-season ideas and where we're coming from with the roster we have.

It would completely ruin the start we had…. Just like 2016 is tainted bc we lost to South Carolina and Vandy after our hot start. I don’t think that is going to happen though.

sour, doh

Pita ful attempt

 

[Big Sun]

Love the slowed, chopped edit, but they should have dropped into the full-speed banjo and mandolin bluegrass rocky top when Hyatt took off toward the endzone with Bama on their knees.

I like you on this forum

My birthday today. Going out having some seafood and bourbon tonight with homemade cheesecake for dessert later. Have tomorrow and Friday off, picking my daughter up from school early on Friday and heading to Knoxville to watch Kentucky get whooped on Saturday night. Going to be a great weekend.

Happy Birthday Brother

UGA fans are chirping in Chattanooga. Overheard one today say that they'll hold the Vols under 21 points in Athens. Apparently their defense is more than twice as effective as Bama's.
