Recruiting Football Talk VII

[butchna]

Dumb statement is dumb.

I think I set a personal record adding to my ignore list. Some posters hadn’t been on my radar previously.

 

[Orange.]

Hate to be captain obvious...but hasn't Tennessee played Alabama and Georgia every year for decades?....

That's the point. No one else besides Tennessee and Aubie has. And AL and GA almost never play.

 

[Orange.]

Classy.

I saw that. Sad to read about the team. You know they must feel betrayed even if they understand the money and bigger league.

People who go off on players for NIL, portal, etc., need to realize the players are imitating their coaches, school administrators, the TV networks, and basically the whole of what both pop and business culture praise to the hilt.

 

[butchna]

Classy.

Would’ve been preferable that he inform the players in person, but he was already out on the road recruiting when he got the call and was most likely already in Texas when this broke.

GA was supposed to play at Norman this year, but they claimed they "could not" and had to cancel. Sankey fronted for Kirby, declaring there was no possible way for Oklahoma to play a return visit in Athens because Oklahoma was joining the conference!

Sankey also "forgot" to send Kirby to play at TAMU this year. Just accidentally left them out of the rotation and started over from the top. GA has never played there since TAMU joined the conference. Some teams in the East are on their second trip.

I know I have said these things before, but just in case someone is unaware of the kind of schedule manipulation that the Birmingham office practices.

Dude all one need do is watch a Bammer game, and any other SEC match and compare

We add Oklahoma...at Norman..to our normal brutal schedule..c'mon man.

Brutal....
3 bottom feeders in Vanderbilt, Arkansas, and Mississippi St.
2 teams in turmoil in Kentucky and Florida
Only 3 teams are Anywhere near brutal ... Georgia , Alabama and maybe Oklahoma...
Non Conference is cupcake city ...

Now reply with I'm ignorant and delusional...
And the classic

We’ve been on the other side of that. Duke’s not had the luxury of having a hot name as football HC since Steve Spurrier.

 

[butchna]

His only chance of being drafted depends on him being healthy at draft time. If he’s hurt, he’ll never even get a shot.

Everything with him is an organization thinking they can tap into his physical talent. He’ll make a roster or practice squad whether he’s drafted or UDFA…hell JG did!

 

[screenthis]

A&M and Kentucky games are losses with every other coaching staff since 06-07 Fulmer

I agree whole heartedly. What would our record have been with this team under Butch Jones? Can you imagine the D with Sal Sunseri?

I do believe there were some coaching concerns around our Florida game plan. And, concerns overall about 'in game' adjustments (Alabama game). But overall, way better game time coaching now.

I don't think Oklahoma will be close to brutal. Definitely no a gimme, but they'll be settling into a new OC, and probably a new offense. Venables is a defensive guy, so there's no guarantee the offense/terminology will carry over.

 

[mrMet]

Since 1973 we won more than 10 games, 11 times. That means in the LAST 50 seasons, we won 10 games or more about 20% of the time. (I think, was a research paper guy, not a maths guy).

So, to say 'we are 10 win team.' Is false and inaccurate.

We are capable of 10 wins, and havent realized our potential. We are a storied program, hungry to win. And have a coach who is capable of realizing that goal. He is young, driven, and competitive.

My suggestion to you is to enjoy it.

To be completely fair, how many of those years were the regular seasons more than 10-11 games?

For our usual SEC schedule, this is pretty manageable. Plus UF and KY are at home.

This should be an 8-10 win season.

 

[SoilVol]

Could see Kaidon Salter transferring to Oklahoma or USC this offseason.

Oh I dont have a clue. My point, obviously was to illustrate that we could celebrate a winning season. And, to point out our winning record historically matches nearly perfectly with our 23 record. Not sure what else there is.

 

[SoilVol]

That's the definition of coaching above your team's talent level and projection.

USC has a 5* Quarterback that RS this season...Malachi Nelson really good QB....

That seems fair, assuming no crazy injuries, etc.

Git sum

Not a good look for hoopel,

Let's not forget we will have an inexperienced QB throwing to a young group of receivers playing behind a piece meal o line and a defense that is at best mediocre against better teams. I don't see 10 wins. I think we are closest to this year's win total.

I believe his wife’s cousin owns land up there.

I think the bottom should be 7 wins. A good season would be 9 and a great season would be 10+

Mmmmmmmmm. Grumors!


Sooooooooooooooooon!

Good catch

 

[Devo182]

Probably because of the DA's that were complaining we were still in it to begin with. They swayed voters.

We gained 28 votes.

Other teams gained more...by beating teams not named Vandy. Not that surprising and I blame Vandy for not changing their name.
