[RockyTopTexas]

Really good pickup. Experienced OT played in big games. He will push for starting position. Staff is very happy with Freshman lineman but unhappy with backups upper classman.. in CHRIST Alone

Did you have a meeting with the staff? What upper class man are they unhappy with?

This belongs in the dumb post thread

No since lots of fans treat players who transfer from Tennessee like crap I think it's only fair for it to work both ways. So yes I posted something stupid to go along with the stupid fans that hate on players that leave

So your strategy when you read a stupid opinion is to create your own dumb one. Well that's one way to go through life

Good pickup. He will play a lot for us

If we can land the OL transfer out of Rhode Island, think tomorrow, we can consider our OL all set... gotta say I'm impressed how OL has had good upwards consistency of talent

OT / 6-4 / 296 … undersized … Wow. These kids keep getting bigger. At one time that would be considered a BIG kid … in a few years are we looking at 396 being undersized?

Too bad the coaches didn't consider your expert opinion before pursuing and signing this kid.

All of them. And no not a personal meeting.

 

[Stacmot]

Should we send back Hooker, Bru, Mincey, Milton, Velus, Payton and Cade then? If transferring is, in your definition, quitting

I thought about saying something similar prior to this but I figured someone else would. Solid response

How did little ut do this year? I have no idea who their o line coach is. I totally trust our coaches recruiting decisions. Especially Elarbee and Garner

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Not sure if Heupel would ever do this but I dream of having 2 different OL units. So at the end of a long drive or late in the game when guys are tired we being in 5 fresh bodies and dominate our tired opponents. MSU used to do it on the defensive side of the ball and was very effective. Gotta have great depth to do it tho

An Olineman doesn’t have to go all out every play in this system. A quick snap and quick throw to the flats takes 2 seconds. The defense gets tired because they do have to go all out each play because they don’t know where the ball is going.

Welcome to the only REAL UT my VOL brother!!

Btw...Tennessee had this priceless University before Texas was even a state!!!

Also, the reason we are called the Volunteers is because the territory now known as Texas was getting its azz handed to it by Mexico, and asked for Tennessee to come and save the day... Davy Crockett and an army of thousands of Tennessee Volunteers went out west and pimpsmacked those same Mexicans...

Davy Crockett And The Tennessee Volunteers: A History Behind The Name - Rocky Top Talk

* we had previously mustered 1500 Volunteers under Andrew Jackson who went down to New Orleans and dirtnapped the British.

Moral of the story:

Tennessee folks Volunteer to kick azz when azz kickin' is what is needed. Texas is just like the French in ww2 and would have been overrun if we didn't do what we do best. Volunteer..to kick azz.

Lived in TX for 6 years. When Texans started bragging about TX, I reminded them that if it weren't for us Tennesseans, they would be speaking Spanish! BTW, Sam Houston was a Tennessean, our 6th governor and first President of the Republic of TX, TX 1st U.S. Senator and also served as their Governor. The city of Houston is named after him.

6'5", 305 is "Small, undersized"? He's as big as a lot of NFL offensive linemen.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Lot of VolNation will attest to my ignorance, but I'm pretty happy with the pickup

Just checked. According to the rosters on ourlads.com 5 of the 8 starting OT's in the CFP weigh 310 or less.

There are guys who cannot carry weight. Maybe Karic is one of those? We'll see.

As far as being beaten out... Hooker was beaten out. V Jones was relegated to most ST's. Mincey was a back up at UF... who had a pretty bad OL this year with the guy who beat him out.

It’s interesting how this has changed in the past 40 years. Steelers’ 1979 Mike Webster played at 255 and Kolb was their heaviest lineman at just over 260.

22nd Best Tackle in the Portal....

And?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Don't want a guy that quits on their team

So I guess you didn’t want Hooker, Velus, Payton, Bru, Crawford ir Mincey huh? Good grief you are dumb. Going into the portal isn’t quitting on your team.

Lol. Wrong.

 

[Walkman]

I trust our coaches…based on the past they have made pretty smart choices through their evaluations. The sexy portal guys don’t always work out and most don’t. Gotta trust our coaches—they seem to have a great plan for the health of our program. GBO!
