Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I’m sure I’m completely wrong, but I just do not see those lines for the Alabama and Florida games.

Florida I do. Assuming lagway is healthy. They will be much better than last year, it's at their pace, and we are arguably worse than last year.

Bama I agree that's a crazy line.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Looks like Neyland checkered that nose

I guess you'll think twice about wearing gators gear to the game next time. . .

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

The disrespect is crazy BUT! Fanduel said to pick the bracket @Enki_Amenra…Im going to love this debate…

Grrr....

GO VOLS

 

[RiseToTheTop]

automatically assuming opponents "will be better than last yr" like its a sure thing then saying " we are def worse" than last yr is so funny to me


schedules, timing, health and all those things play a part and we know nothing yet.

Got him some didn't he...

They could've had 105 and they wouldn't beat '95 Nebraska.

I agree, I went back and looked at that schedule and they played like 5 ranked teams but 3 of those finished 8-4 and 1 finished 10-3 in the Big East. Was a joke of a conference and one of their wins over a ranked team was Syracuse who we also spanked earlier in the year. Their defense was good but they played a weak weak schedule also. I think 95 Nebraska runs all over that 2001 Miami defense with those big ole farm grown(steroids) OL.

I like us for the UGA and Bama lines.

Been 9 years since we came within a TD of UGA.

Love the thought, but imo we need elite QB play to stay close/beat UGA and their secondary. Just don't see it atp, unless defense absolutely crushes them. Which is not impossible...

That Nebraska team was unreal. Didn't they destroy Fla in the title game? Put up like 60 on them?

heck..they badically ( i will leave that as I like it) had three plays..left middle and right and no one could stop it, along with Blackshirt Defense.

like 62-28..

 

[Devo182]

I’m sure I’m completely wrong, but I just do not see those lines for the Alabama and Florida games.

I'd take Bama down 1-2 points. Maybe 10.5.

Florida feels fine. Maybe even optimistic. We play terribly in The Swamp and barely scraped by them even in 2024/2022 at home with our best teams in decades. They likely have the QB advantage by a lot. But we do have the better Xs and Os coach by a lot. We'll see. Hopefully UF is a dumpster fire by late Fall.

 

[BbwVol]

like 62-28..

And Nebraska took a knee on like the 3 yard line at the end of the game.

Nobody is saying it's a sure thing.

It's a probabilistic thing.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I got a little verklempt when he was talking about the VOLS. Recommending folks from around the world to root for TENNESSEE was nice to hear.

WE REALLY ARE THE BEST FANBASE IN THE WORLD. Quit screwing us over Danny!!

GBO

I'm really wanting this shirt....

That +7.5 just stinks to me

 

[Bigorangefaninga]

Yep. Their toughest games were against 10-2 Kansas State and 10-2 Colorado. They had one of the largest margins of victory of 1 over 2 in history at the time. Heck Miami barely got by a 8-4 Virginia Tech(that lost 4 of last 6). Heck they should have gotten beat as VA Tech guy was wide open and dropped the tying 2 pt conversion and had another chance until Noel(yeah, he was a terrible QB) made a bad pass that Ed Reed intercepted when Va Tech only need a FG to win.

 

[Revived2002]

I’m sure I’m completely wrong, but I just do not see those lines for the Alabama and Florida games.

Those seem reasonable to me, with our QB uncertainty

Georgia I thought might be closer with the home field advantage

All will be extremely difficult

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

‘01 Miami had 16 drafts picks just on defense I do believe. Greatest of all time

Greatest draft team of all time. Not the greatest team over all.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Might be the best team ever. Definitely top3.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Bama gets -3 for home field and we get +3 for unknown QB, while their unknown qb makes no difference. The real line is probably closer to +6.5

 

[SoilVol]

If she put on 100 lbs, she'd look like my 1st girlfriend.

*(I know that sounds kinda mean but I really liked that girl. She was pretty....she was just a little "fluffy")


**Sidney Sweeney is pretty and a lot better than advertisers have been trotting out. At least she's a girl!

Were your prior girlfriends not girls?

 

[drvenner]

I have would rather listen to a screeching idiot over anything Stillman said. I can’t stand that guy. Good riddance.

You mean you'd rather listen to @Jackcrevol ?
