Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TN-POSSUM]

I'm torn between wanting bama to lose every game they play and wanting them to win out to help our sos.

It's bama. I want them to lose every game, in every sport, vacate their wins/championships from the Saban era, and then get put on eternal probation.

I HATE ALABAMA

 

[engineerVOL]

I like that W/L stat when the TSIO teams are ranked.

Bama made a living beating up on some special ed TN coaches. They can’t beat us when we’re decent.

 

[Go Fight Win]

We need to break Pavia...lol...his running is all they've got.

yes this is the key. I think we will dominate that game.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Other way around.

Yep...on throws like that, but I think I understand what that poster was thinking...

PSA: This is just an opinion...a humble observation I've made while going back and watching Nicos misses, trying to see what he is doing wrong.

It appears to me that Nico is rocking back and throwing off of his back foot too much on these deep throws...and regardless of whether it is a low angle or high angle throw..he is overthrowing them again and again and again.

I think he needs to step into his passes more..so I think I agree with the actual idea that guy had, but not the terminology that guy used...I think what I'm talking about is what he is really seeing, and he just said it that way.

You're absolutely right, a touch pass is not "driven in there"....but it shouldn't need to be backfooted either.

Not arguing with what you said...just sharing an observation which many will undoubtedly disagree with.

@1:50 @3:10
I've convinced myself that I'd put Jakobe Thomas at outside LB of I were the coach.

 

[KPT_VFL]

It’s beautiful to see Alabama fans cope with being a normal program… long gone are the days they dominate year in and year out. They’ll still be a great program but their spoiled fans don’t understand that the run they went on I not sustainable forever. They are so so privileged.

 

[rikberry31]

Indiana is good dawg

I know they're good but they still don't have the depth of a Washington, Michigan, or Blowhio. They already lost their quarterback and other injures will happen and that is what I believe will bite them. Who knows I could be wrong.

They consider our wins against them when they’re “bad” to not count, but their win streak against us from 2007-2021 with the biggest coaching mismatches in rivalry history not only count but are representative of the rivalry in its totality.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Nothing to really point to specifically, but it seems the narrative is Bama isn't good, not that UT is good. Gotta think if Bama won then the slobbering over this being a top win for them would be sickening.

Yep, but just keep winning and everything will fall into place. Vols against the world.

 

[tomq_123]

I think both LSU and A&M could end up with 3 losses. Need Navy to beat ND. But most importantly we just need to CONTROL WHAT WE CAN. Just win baby.

A&M gets both LSU and Texas at home, which should help them. LSU has to travel to A&M and Florida, but gets Bama, Vanderbilt and Oklahoma at home. I could see both teams only have only 1 or 2 losses.

 

[hjeagle1vol]

I’d rather have a root canal (which I’m sitting in the chair for right now) than pull for Bama. Even the birds fly upside down over Bama cuz they ain’t worth ing on!!

I'm torn between wanting bama to lose every game they play and wanting them to win out to help our sos.

 

[TrippieRedd]

3 in the top 250 on 247 to start the 2026 class.

Might actually be Hype’s first top 3 class.

 

[rikberry31]

I bolded it because the narrative is spinning towards Alabama being awful. Very little talk about us winning what was billed by the same media as a "must-win elimination game" last week.

But, the narrative is what we have to fight against.

Anyone who knows anything about football and even my mother in law knows Alabubba is a good team. They will most likely win out and so will we so the point is moot.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I was about to say. Years and years ago, around 2008-09, I posted a lot on TigerDroppings/SECRant and they made this argument all the time about Fulmer's dominance -- it didn't count because they were bad. Not that those clowns are going to give up a single win they earned beating up on the likes of Derek Dooley, Butch Jones, and Jeremy Pruitt.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I think they'll lose to LSU but win their other games.

 

[zhangliao04]

If we can corral JM we can do the same to Pavia.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

SIAP, but anyone else other than me getting a bit concerned that Tennessee may get left out at 10-2? Things are trending towards a lot of teams bunched up at 10-2 this year, and I’m now seeing 11-1 Indiana being projected as over us in some rankings.

Feels like things are likely to work themselves out with some crazy upsets during the back half of the year. But right now it’s looking like quite a few teams will be at 10-2 at worst.

Yep. I think for us to get in we will have to go 11-1. Which I don’t see happening.

Also. . . @7:10, they were stopped on that 4th down.

 

[BigSteve09]

he still has to make it to the end of the season

I have a lot of respect for him, and he's playing out of his mind, but he does play very physical and that will eventually catch up

They still have to play Texas, Auburn, South Carolina and LSU before we head to Nashville

If he keeps playing like he has been, he's gonna run up mileage quickly

 

[MattR11]

PCB is very UT friendly. Me and wifey consider that our "home beach".


*Dollar bills on the wall..... was you at Dusty's???

Shuckems. I've been to PCB 3 times in the past 7 years or so and never remember seeing many folks in orange but it definitely was UT friendly last week. It being football season and Bama week probably made a difference as well but still, way more wearing UT gear then any other school.

Every time we went out there were a handful of people in orange. Even the jet ski rental guy had a UT hat lol.

 

[rikberry31]

Well finebum picked the gumps with a cigar in his mouth so he can suck it 8 ways to Sunday for all i care.... what a freakin douche.

Finebaum is really just a blow fly, he buzzes around looking for sh!t feast on. He has made a career of stirring the pot to get coaches fired. He knows nothing about football, he just sticks his finger...
in the air and finds out which way the wind is blowing.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

They talked about this on Basilio. Beano said he thinks that was our gameplan. We’d cover Williams tight, and if he caught the ball, we’d beat the hell outta him. They kept targeting him and it eventually wore him down. You could see his body language. Same for Milroe, the hits and the noise got to him.

I mean..... they said it was on thr TV Broadcast.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Indiana want lose to Washington or Michigan at home.

Ohio State , yes

Luckily every teams OOC schedule is cream puff city so they will have no other choice than to go by conference strength of schedules.

BTW 10--2 Vols get in the CFP, no question.

Indiana wants to lose to Washington and Meatchicken at home?..

I don't know if they want to or not...but they probably won't....those two teams suck this year.





















Don't get mad...just picking at you a little..

 

[rikberry31]

I think they'll lose to LSU but win their other games.

I have zero faith in LSU.
