Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Bear hug

This is the play I referenced in an earlier post. JP even spun out of that to the inside and the Gump tackle holds his jersey - still no flag. I think our sideline must have been all over the refs as the next play was the non offsides on JP. Even still, his timing on that play was very close and I see how it wasn’t called - kind of like Alex Brown vs us in 99 when he had some tip off on Tee’s snap count.

That is gorgeous

I have a very random question I'm wondering if anyone can remotely help me with. The Pride has been playing this song on defense for a few years now, at least since 2022 if not earlier, and while I know the tune, I have no idea what the song is and everybody I've asked has no idea either. Usually it's after 2nd down, sometimes after 3rd down, and it's quite dramatic and orchestral (it's not the Mars one or O, Fortuna). I have no idea how to figure out what this song is and I've been looking for months and it's driving me nuts. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Can you hum it for us?

Bball season is right around the corner too. I’m hyped!

The thing that really sticks out to me about this list is what's missing. When was the last time an Alabama or Georgia player wasn't at or near the top.

I think my favorite part of the game was Sampson’s 2nd TD run….

After the big throw to Thornton Bama’s D is standing over the ball to slow things down, but when the play gets set the OL proceeds to manhandle the DL pushing some of them into the end zone.

The OL has their problems, but when they get the chance they can maul you.

Yeah, I loved that too. That was a big fu when they ran right over his dumb azz.

Can you/AI do something with the original pic......View attachment 689653

I could probably add some blood flying out of his mouth and his spine sticking out of his stomach, "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" style,

 

[rikberry31]

Good footage, got 100% better when that terrible song stopped.

USC has been firmly positioned on the "Do Not Bet!" list.

I generally don't want anything for Christmas but this year I am writing to Santa and asking Baby Jesus for two things. Lane First for Kiffin to get the job at Florida. And the second, which I didn't think was possible before Saturday, Dabo to be named coach at Alabubba. I won't ask for a Natty in football cause that's in the bag.

Me walking into work today:

Just saw where Charles Morgan passed away. Some may remember him playing for the Vols in 1980. He was a HS teammate of Reggie White and was a very good player in his own right. Glad to say that both Reggie and Charles were friends of mine since about 1978. I wish Charles would have stayed at TN but he is still a VFL. Prayers for the Morgan family.

We want Missouri to lose. They don’t have anyone left on their schedule and could go 11-1. We get the tie breaker over Bama if we both finish 10-2. Also helps our strength is f schedule. Of course I won’t watch that game, because I am against Bama on any game I watch with them.

We will have the tiebreaker with Alabama when we a 11-1 and they are 9-3. Even if Mizzou ends tied with us we have the tiebreaker because Heup would stand on Dickwitz's business and whip his azz.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Jets are still flying over Knoxville. Those things are LOUD!

 

[JT3]

I knew he was older, what about Jakobe Thomas?

He will be back next year. Has 1 year left.

 

[OrangenSC]

Pretty damn good. Best of the last 20 years for sure.

And with 2 key players out.

 

[rikberry31]

Our secondary went from a weakness to a strength overnight. And we get most of those guys back next year.

To many fans and talking heads it seems that way but the people who know where to look are not surprised. The same thing will happen with Nico. To some he will all of a sudden become great. That is because they have such a narrow focus. They see him miss a couple long throws that could have been touchdowns but they miss the NFL qb type throws he makes into very tight windows to convert third downs and move the chains. Trust me Nico will be the first Name called in the 2026 NFL Draft and there are some who will say I'm an idiot, for now.

Missouri at Alabama

Who do we want to lose here?

I say Missouri because they have an easier schedule and still only have one sec loss.

Plus it would make our strength of schedule/win over Bama look better.

But I wouldn’t shed a tear if Alabama got more dirt thrown on them.

Would prefer Mizzou to lose. With the SEC Championship Game still at play, a 2nd lost by Mizzou puts them out.

Our H2H with Bama would put us ahead of them if we get a 2nd loss so no harm no foul there.

I think Trippie approves of the Spanish announcer.

We will have a tough ass road stretch next year. Still say this is rhe year to capitalize.

Submitted without comment.

And those are the two best teams. I've never felt more like a sucker than when I bought into all the hype this year and tuned in to a few games. It's such a bad product.

It's like all the millions of new energy drinks out there. Super slick, amazing marketing, then you go try it and you're like, "this is literally just caffeine, carbonated water, and fake fruit flavor like every single other new energy drink."

Alabubba's right tackle was holding all night. At one point he tackled someone from behind.

That should have been a safety. They tackled Pearce.
