Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[Vol423]

With the details that this was indeed child porn (pre-pubescent) and him admitting he frequented sites with that sort of material but "tried to shy away from it" there's absolutely no reason to wait. Kitna, unfortunately, is either a full blown actual pedophile (attraction to pre-pubescent children) or someone who was starting to figure out that he was attracted to children (IOW, on his way there).

Here's a recruit that I'm glad that we whiffed on.


Florida QB Jalen Kitna arrested on child pornography charges, dismissed from team

This really pissed me off.



So, I guess they matter a lot to me.

Yeah they matter

That play pissed everybody off

If we get killed by Tulane or something we'll all have a meltdown, because it matters.

People just saying they don't matter are just saying it, because they don't mean as much as they used to.

It frustrated me too, but once it was over I didn’t see much impact on the overall trajectory of the program. We lost and still received nice offseason buzz followed by the best season in 19 years.

I agree in stating that it’s wrong to say that bowl games don’t matter. They still do, but like you mentioned they just don’t matter as much as they used to. It’s a nice reward for the players and a fun trip for fans if they can afford it.

Oh Boy

Austin Peay AD wants Govs in FBS football by 2025. Here's the plan

 

[LA Vol]

Sankey thinks UT is a renegade program. A lot of effort is spent bolstering that perception. The reality is, UT runs a tighter ship than the rest of the Big 6. Other programs recruit, sign and play SAs that wouldn't be academically cleared at UT. Jermaine Burton would have been suspended at UT. Will Wade would have been fired quickly at UT. Freeze wouldn't have been hired for any position at UT, nor would UT take Bruce back. Yet, UT has been branded the poster school for bad behavior.

Which is kinda funny, we are too strict but now we are the bad guys

Vols in all sports just need to keep winning. It will all workout. Do not expect anyone to give you anything, just take it.

The jig is up.

Control the controllables. Win. Keep winning. And speak up when something needs to be said.

What are you smoking?

Just bringing to light a silent premise in everything that has been said on this subject from the beginning.

 

[thistime]

Winning changes a lot of things but the most important in this day and time is image. We are the fans that cheer loud and rub it in when we win and are the same ones that take pot shots from all sides. To be honest I think it all goes back to the 90's and the ESPN fiasco. Before then we were just the VOLS and were pretty good at everything.......just from the south.

 

[Orange.]

I think it's going to take a big boy push from UT leadership. The only other unhappy SEC school is LSU-- and they still have a say in their outcome. UT is sitting home with OSU, Bama and PSU.

Well then, DW and Donde need to get this thing done! LFG!

Agreed

Sankey thinks UT is a renegade program.

I disagree. Sankey thinks Tennessee is a permanent opponent of Alabama.

A lot of effort is spent bolstering that perception [that Tennessee is renegade].

Absolutely.

The reality is, UT runs a tighter ship than the rest of the Big 6. Other programs recruit, sign and play SAs that wouldn't be academically cleared at UT. Jermaine Burton would have been suspended at UT. Will Wade would have been fired quickly at UT. Freeze wouldn't have been hired for any position at UT, nor would UT take Bruce back. Yet, UT has been branded the poster school for bad behavior.

Absolutely.

The problem is we have something to say about everything.........usually and people don't like that either.

The Big 10 commish is working overtime to swipe our earned bowl game. And our SEC commish is taking it like a Hugh Freeze call girl.

GOAT college game.

Best ever

 

[Orange.]

Tell Washington that we are cancelling the home and home series if they let Penn St (with zero ranked wins) take Ohio's place in the Rose Bowl. Because they know good and well that their acquiescence in it amounts to robbing us of the Orange Bowl.

 

[Orange.]

Gotta run to the first holiday party of the year. Best wishes to the board. DW and Donde, y'all kick some behind while I'm out.
