Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Brillovol]

This basketball team is gonna be sick.

Naw...you just made unnecessary comments. But mine were very relevant as I have to sift through whether or not trading AJ Brown was good or not.

Please enlighten the class on the unnecessary comments

This has to be a purposeful shot. NO WAY they truly think some of those offenses are better than ours.

New starting QB (guessing like 82/83ovr)
RB: Sampson (prob like 82/83)
Bru (bad injury, 83/84)
Squirrel (hasn’t blown the top of people 81/82)
Brazzell/Thornton (hasn’t proven anything 80)
Both TEs are new and haven’t done too much (79/80, maybe)
OL: Cooper, Campbell, Spragg (all prob mid 80s) the other two spots (Heard and Karic? Both are newer 79/80)


Would put us around 82 ovr

I’ll never watch as long as Foul Ming plays for them.

He is actually Poor Man’s Unathletic Ugly Yao Ming

Biggest mistake the Titans ever made was getting rid of Jeff Fisher. . .

Blue font, right?

 

[Brillovol]

Why did he play for him then?

My take: he didn’t know Scloss was a slime ball until he was already invested in the university. Then it became about the university and not the coach.

Fishers last 7 years coaching, he never won more than 8 games. Previous to that, he won more than 8 games 6 times…in 22 years. He is definition of mediocre and why he hasn’t been employed in the nfl since 2016

More than that, the early success he did have was because of Floyd Reese. Look at his career post Floyd.

Go to Grapevine or Lemmon for Bob’s.

I didn’t like the Dallas Del Frisco’s because it just looked like Dallas uppity instead of Ft Worth original.

Magic Johnson recruiting for tn basketball love it

So, if it's Game 7 of the Finals, you're not going to want DK to get that ring?

I'll be cheering for DK to hit the game winning shot. I will not be cheering for LeBum.

 

[Weezer]

I have a few good friends that are good, solid folks who are Alabama fans. I have casual acquaintances who are relatively decent folks who are Florida and Georgia fans. I have lived in middle Tennessee all my life (except the 6 years I was in school in Knoxville) and I can honestly say that I don't know a single person who is an avowed Peabody fan that isn't an arrogant piss-ant. I know people who root for them occasionally out of pity when it is convenient. But the "true" fans I have encountered are either delusional or detestable human beings.

What I'm getting is you hang out with people of questionable integrity.....

 

[Weezer]

Time to start recruiting Japan I guess

Sumo offensive linemen.

Can we get it on a black t-shirt? Black is really our primary school color now.

I will be cheering for LeBum to trip and fall and be out for a whole season so DK doesn't have to play with the prick.

I’m a huge Vols fan. I’m also a Grizz fan. After a night of sleeping, I have these thoughts:

Would I have loved the Grizz to draft Knecht? Absolutely!

Would he have been a fit on this team? Yes, like a glove.

Was he a need? Not necessarily, unless he was to replace Luke Kennard in the rotation.

Do I have a problem with Zach Edey on the team? No

Should the Grizz have traded back and then drafted Edey? Absolutely

The Grizz needed a center that will play 20-25 mpg and set screens and rebound the basketball, which is what Steven Adams’ job was. Edey won’t be asked much. I worry about his long term conditioning in the Grizz’ system.

I know Vol fans are angry with the Grizz passing on Knecht. I would’ve loved nothing more than to see him in a Grizz uniform. But I do find it laughable that Vol fans think the Grizz and the Titans for that matter are sabotaging the state. The Grizzlies have thrown a bone at UT fans and acquired 3 Vols in the last decade: Stokes, Pons, and Chandler. Unfortunately, neither panned out.

I don't think they're "sabotaging the state". I think they're sabotaging themselves. I just don't agree with their assessment of Edey as a player having watched him play. If I'm wrong, bring me the receipts later and I'll freely admit it. But right now, you're not going to convince me that I'm wrong. I think it was a bad pick.
