Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Jack Burton]

i think id like to work at a bookstore. Maybe by the time I retire they will still exist.

Maybe McKays in West Knoxville will still be around. You’ll have to dodge Funko Pop collectors and vinyl hipsters while you browse.

Tea leaves reading....Carsyn Baker could be the potential RB flip to look at.

Was offered, camped here, did an unofficial for UTSA game and we usually recruit GA pretty well

I mapped it and Knoxville is an hour closer than Gainesville to Fairburn, GA.

I would have said bartending at a country club personally, but liquor store is another great one.

The country club across the street has the young women bartending…because all the retired guys are over there playing golf

mackays is a glorified flea market.
was thinking more along these lines:

Me and Shane rn

Crazy and sad/problematic that their defense ranks better than ours in just about every category

 

[VolsFan-TX]

and joey has sat 4 qtrs so he's really only played 3 games.

Mateer was out there playing a full game against Illinois St

Some schools put more emphasis on stat padding for Heisman consideration. OU has seven winners with four of them QBs (Murray - 2018, Mayfield - 2017, Bradford - 2008, and White - 2003).

In the scope of "know your opponent and their colors"...

Mississippi State is having a "white out" this Saturday and we are wearing all orange (as I assume our fans that travel will be as well).

So, the players on the field and the fans in the stands will be decked out in... (wait for it)

and !! Somebody at Miss State might be fired over this.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

He’ll pass him after Saturday lol

Joey just needs 2,696 more passing yards to pass Peyton's single season record.

If we make it to the SEC title game (includes playoffs) or just the playoffs then I think he does it.

Skewed rankings because we played Georgia and the rest of the teams we played a bunch of back ups against the entire game.

They were in a 4qtr battle with NIU last week. Just 21-10 at the start of the 4th.

Yeah good point, didn’t think about that~ our backups have played a lot compared to others at this point

 

[delfonic]

We should see if we can buy tickets to support forming a Power T shape in the stands against the Miss State white background. It would pop.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Possible return against Miss St

When you look at this, it really guts you knowing just how injured this team is this early in the season compared to everyone else lol.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That was them...I usually just make up my own assumptions LOL

Pretty sure this '26 class we put all the eggs in one basket at RB (Hiter) and a few other bigger name recruits had already went elsewhere by the time he picked Michigan. But we have a young group outside Star and all of them could return...so unless someone hits the portal RB room isn't going to need a ton of bodies, expecting us to only take 1 if any until we see if anyone is leaving.

I think it's only a matter of time until we get a Heisman QB, RB, or WR under Heupel. If you keep stacking elite offenses, eventually you'll get one. That said, I also don't think Heup is going to deviate from his normal gameplans to boost anyone's chances of getting one via stat padding. It will have to happen naturally.

QB is this year

McCoy tore his ACL this calendar year. The fact that they are targeting a return for Arkansas is beyond incredible. If he returns for Arkansas he will have missed less than half the season.

Medical science and physical therapy are light years ahead of where it used to be. It’s crazy to think a torn ACL used to be a career ender and now they’ve got the recovery time down to less than a year.

 

[85SugarVol]

why do we insist on "storm troopers?"

the absolute worst soldiers to ever grace the screen who can't hit anything with their blasters and are generally worthless fodder.

Because they look cool.

"retirement jobs" listen to yourselves

My retirement job will be travel, golf, and drinking lots of Beer

 

[Adam Sandler]

Am I the only one that doesn’t like the orange on orange?

It’s not my favorite

 

[Orangeburst]

iow, like you currently live.

If you do $5k per year starting at age 30, and you average 7% interest per year, you'll have almost $700k at age 65, tax free. That's about $4k/month in tax free income until you're 90 years old. Not bad.

Start at 20, put in 2k a year for 10 years. Invest it in total stock market index. Stock market avgs over 10% a year in history of the market. Over a million by 65. The key is starting early.
