Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[vol94]

Is Vandy for real? I haven’t watched a second of any of their games but they are 5-0 and scoring a ton of points. Nico looked like a legit QB against them last year and our defense bottled up Pavia. But our defense is worse this year and their offense seems to be a lot better. Hopefully that won’t even enter “interesting” territory and we cruise to a W at home.

We will know more Saturday when they travel to Tuscaloosa. Plus they play Mizz and @ Texas later in the year.

I see similar issues. My text cursor jumps around randomly at times. I'm on Android. This is the only site I've ever seen do that.

Are you installing VN as an app in chrome?

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Because it’s football talk and we have a football talk thread. There’s no game so it seems redundant.

Thank you, Pooba. That works for me.





*I was just messing around. VN is about the only site I ever visit and I don't have any problems with how you run it. GO VOLS

No worries. Hopefully I didn’t come across as an ass. Just trying to explain it simply.

Gameday is going to Tuscaloser this week. Pavia gonna get his 15 minutes I suppose.

 

[Freak]

Thanks. Hope everything is ok with your family matter you had to take care of.

Thanks. I had a family member pass away. Long time coming but it’s still never easy.

He would like to speak to the manager, please.

Sorry go hear, Freak. Prayers for your family at this time.

After a rewatch, Spillman was really bad in run defense.

I appreciate that.

Never is, and words never seem to do it justice. Sorry about your loss.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Agreed. Way too often got pushed to side, really ineffective. They ran away from opposite side so many times, at Spillman.

Are you using ios26? I’ve been having some issues myself since updating. I think the page refresh has to do with the browser running out of memory. Are you using the VN as an app option? Seems to help from what I can tell.

No to the first question and I’ll try it out on the second. Thank you!

 

[vol94]

They also discussed it for 30 seconds. If you are uncertain, you can’t make the call. You have to be certain to make a call like that.

They should’ve picked up the flag.

One thing I noticed was those cowbells went silent once the center was over the ball, and they were not loud at all without them.

Yes & I also noticed when they showed their fans ringing their bells that none of them were yelling! I don't have any noisemakers at home games, but I clap and yell as loud as I can. They could be a lot louder if they put their heart in it!

 

[Ten_Titans]

Opposite of a glass jaw or more likely these kids hit like kids who crawl and bark like little puppy furries.

The zero tolerance rules around fighting from the last 30 years have two consequences, both found in this video:

1. Kids not knowing how to fight

2. Kids having absolutely zero idea what constitutes shameful cowardly acts related to fighting, like throwing little girl punches to the back of someone's head while they are fighting someone else.

I think it might be a measure too of how much orange was in the stadium. But it is not a very large stadium. The only reason they make much noise is those infernal cowbells.

I hear this parroted a decent amount. Obviously the goal is for the more athletic players to grasp the mental aspects and not have bursts in alignment and run fits. But if the option is one or the other; more athletic with busts is not necessarily the best option. Giving up 5 yards multiple times means more plays being run. That means more opportunities for negative yardage plays, offensive penalties, strip sacks, etc. Busts that give up 50 yard plays is unrecoverable.

I was actually going to say this. Depends on the context of the game, but would you rather play a guy who's consistent but won't make or give up a game-changing play? Or play a guy who can make or give up a game-changing play? Different strokes for different folks, but most coaches are going with a guy who won't change the game but is always in the right place to make the play.

Someone with a VQ account call Ramey out for this. He claims after the first down run we didn’t snap the ball until 9 seconds. The play ended at 13, we snapped the next play at 12.

If I knew I wouldn’t get arrested, I would decked dude for that… you just don’t do that.

 

[Garren04]

Mizzou, Vandy, Oklahoma, Ole Miss are pretenders.

A&M has a favorable schedule, Bama will likely be in the championship game.

Can we afford a lose to Alabama is the real question here in that scenario.

My 4 SEC teams in the playoffs currently are Bama, Georgia, A&M & Tennessee.

Yeah but who do those teams lose to? Wicked easy schedules. It is good that Vandy and Mizzou play each other. I think this year is one of the most interesting years bc of the schedules and the parity in the league.

If it makes you feel better, Brad Powers is begging for the vols to get -7 or -6.5 to hammer em

If you don’t know who BP is, he knows more ball than Pate could dream of
