Recruiting Football Talk VII

[VolGee4]

What's funny is they all call for me to get banned, but none of them care about the personal attacks, which are against board rules, that they all go to.

Deflect, deflect.

Most of us who use rational thought haven’t attacked anyone.

I'm afraid you're not that special here.

I'm not worried about being special. Just point out the hypocrisy.

Name calling isn't a personal attack? That's a new one.

I called him out. It gets old people going straight to attacks because when you respond is usually when the board gets involved.

We all have different opinions even if it’s not well liked by the majority.

and they literally didn't show up for 12 quarters of football this season. Imagine if we could close with some top talent on dline.

You're freaking blind. That is not what happened.

They all don't think about you. Does that help clarify?

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

The only real absolute screw up this year was against UF...that game was the difference in 9-3 this year, and it will probably happen next year...not UF specifically, just blowing a game we should win.

We have to evaluate our road woes in the off-season. It’s been an issue two years in a row. Have to get that fixed to beat the best teams.

 

[SSVol]

I'm not easily bought in, and Heup hasn't done anything to make me think last year was anything more than luck.

Consider how many more games we would have won this year if our scoring average was the same as last year. Then consider that this year was the outlier of scoring for Heupel. Last year wasn't the fluke, this year was.

 

[Revived2002]

Well my very strong opinion is that if we move on from Heupel now because he’s just an “8-win coach” we will take three or four more hires before we get another coach who can consistently win us 8 or more games per year.

Relevance by 2030!

You can’t convince me otherwise.

There is so much evidence to support my position in Tennessee’s recent history and at other big name schools with storied histories.

Alabama has the #1 team composite ranking in CFB this year and lost to a team 6 spots in back of them. Guess Saban sucks. Fire him.

Not even the same stratosphere

I'm not talking about all, I'm specifically pointing to those who use your you, and call people idiots and other names. It's kind of obvious it's a personal attack when they reply to my post and use your and you.

We will see, but I'm not one for blind optimism. Show me.

It isn't blind optimism to let the data speak. You simply choose to ignore it if it doesn't support your bias.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Are you trying to be argumentative, or are you really this clueless? I'll give the benefit of the doubt for now.

Exactly which one is a benefit...?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

So we fell out of the Ap 25

WTH?

 

[BearCat204]

Ok, Yay go us, we get to go to the who gives a damn bowl, Yay go team

That better?

You need Jesus

Those numbers aren't from the SEC, all the time coaches come in this league and get found out.
Heupel has had 2 meh seasons and 1 good one. It's blind optimism to assume he will be at his averages or better next season.
You're also assuming the defense will improve, as someone who doesn't believe in Banks, offensive improvement doesn't matter without a better defense.

 

[drvenner]

I wonder if this was one of those deals where you trot out somebody so horrible that who you really wanted will be welcomed with open arms when maybe it would have just been meh if you just announced Elko to begin with?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The troll grows when you feed it.

Checkers doesn't have anything better to do, as a mid-30s chronically obese male "renting" his mom's basement.

@vollygirl
This is my point.
You don't call this a personal attack?

 

[Jackcrevol]

You're freaking blind. That is not what happened.

it is, 100%

Are you talking about one poster? Just one? Out of all of the responses?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

There are typically several.
