Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I get that, but her product is proven, and it sucks! Would be better taking a chance on an elite high school head coach. She has absolutely zero idea on how to coach fundamental basketball. I’ve never seen a basketball team in college be so inept at basic fundamentals.

To be fair, she succeeded at places with lower expectations. Missouri State retained some success while Western Carolina fell badly again.

Most are Freshmen. CTV seeing what they can do...

And ETSU throwing everything they've got. Never letting a batter see a pitcher twice. We could hammer them if we wanted to.

Most are Freshmen. CTV seeing what they can do...

And not liking a lot of what he’s seeing so far

 

[VolGee4]

Does KenPom factor in opponent strength or is it a straight efficiency rating? Genuinely curious. I don’t know. Have to imagine their soft schedule comes back to bite them.

KP is adjusted for opponent’s rating.

If I had it to do over, i'd go Alpine all way around. Hell, maybe even Klipsch. And grow a mullet and rock with Ratt or White ****ing snake all day.

If you're going the mullet route, you should really consider MTX. I was just looking at Crutchfield. I dont know half the brands anymore. I always wanted some nice MB quart components and a jl sub. I saw a focal that I guess is good.

I had a memphis gold amp and a pioneer premier dvc sub a long time ago. Sounded great.

 

[VolGee4]

Imagine sweeping UF and then losing to ETSU

I know you understand midweek baseball….maybe.

 

[tnhunter 10]

We are the #1 team in the nation. We are TN and they are ETSU. They should never beat us in a major sport.

Midweek games are nothing but developmental games. But, I understand your sentiment.

 

[MarcoVol]

This feller throwin underhanded is giving us fits

 

[MarcoVol]

Not Kilen tho

Solo shot

 

[tnhunter 10]

 

[knoxvol52]

Kilen with a homer to left center. 4-3 Bucs...

[Vol423]

It's getting close to email time.

Strongly worded?

 

[DarthVol1]

This Thacker kid needs to get some more appearances.

 

[MarcoVol]

This Thacker kid needs to get some more appearances.

Looked really solid!

Rankings so far this season coming into this game:

HRs hit
Vols - 2nd (53)
ETSU - T4th (45)

Batting AVG:
Vols - 9th (.332)
ETSU - 13th (.331)

ERA:
Vols - 1st (1.72) (absurd stat)
ETSU - 16th (3.39)

Pair that with ut playing pitchers who aren’t weekend caliber, it’s a wonder why people are surprised this game is close. Etsu is good and we’re treating it as a bullpen game

And ETSU throwing everything they've got. Never letting a batter see a pitcher twice. We could hammer them if we wanted to.

So we're choosing not to?

Georgia and VT beat them. Miami of Ohio run ruled them. Look at their schedule. They have played nobody. But you are doing your usual excuse making for us playing bad.

Yeah I am sure after we swept UF, you thought, yeah that ETSU game could easily be a loss. Yeah right

Also won the weekend series @ Pitt, but I guess we’re just picking and choosing which games to use as an example

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

It’s really weird with some of you. It’s like you can’t call our team out when they play bad and lose a game they shouldn’t.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Are we using wooden bats or something?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

The same Pitt that’s 12-7 and hasn’t really beaten a good team? Yeah I no guess that’s picking and choosing.

2 things can be true, we are playing poorly, yes. But etsu is also a really good team
