Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I already know:

If there’s a local video recording company around Baton Rouge, they’ve been set up to do the most amazing thing…

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

I think fans have an overly simplified view of coaching. Smart enough to know that certain metrics are good and others are bad, but not involved closely enough to understand that they are creating a strategy around certain tradeoffs. From our point of view, it may just be luck that we had statistically better defenses when our offense wasn't as good, but I bet there is far more to that than luck. I seriously doubt Banks is calling defense in a vacuum...Heupel is no doubt involved...and the year-to-year difference is about them choosing priorities as much as it relates to changing personnel strengths.

I can always tell who played football and who played Madden.

Looks like you remove that cap and fill them with sand or water

wait, we're talking weights. or croc sandals? so confused

 

[franklinpence]

There are a lot of players to choose from, but I’ll be damned if the Vols don’t have the best of the lot.

And for the folks who aren’t in the league, I’m 5-1 with the second most points scored on the season, so the plan’s working so far.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Is that even a lateral move?

Demotion IMO

If they don't do this they are missing the marketing opportunity of a lifetime.

I hate how greedy college athletics has become. Football jerseys will be "sponsored up" like NASCAR uniforms before long.

McCoy plays, we win that game. Gibson plays, we win that game. An elite kicker wins that game.

Yep. You are correct.

Elite kicker? Just an average to good one would have sufficed. We didn't need an elite kicker for a 43yd FG.

Never put French's on a uniform.

It just encourages your players to give up.

Soccer and F1 have been selling uniform ads forever, they seem to be doing just fine in popularity.

Pro teams and college teams are not supposed to be the same. That's what makes college football better than NFL football. It's getting to where I can't tell the difference because of "free agency" and riding NIL deals. We're heading towards a semi pro league, where the top high school players don't go to college.

Soccer and F1?

Can you name the Knoxville soccer team without google? And how many F1 drivers can you name?

 

[tn4elvis]

Anyone know of any condos or small cabins for rent around PigeonForge area this weekend. My schedule just became open but I am having trouble finding lodging in that area.

I said they're doing just fine, not that I follow either. I couldn't name an F1 driver, but that doesn't mean I'm unaware of how popular it is.

My point is, reaching for money doesn't inherently ruin a sport. College football isn't better than NFL because of how greedy or not greedy either is.

Heartland Cabins?

College football will not survive in its current state and the more fingers in the pie, the worse it'll get. These sponsors are going to want something. *like changing TBA to the Food City Center.

The current state of college football/basketball..... the conferences make no sense, officiating is terrible/corrupt, and lifelong fans are getting priced out of their seats. And prices are still going up. Some jerk will say "but there's a waiting list for seats". There is here but what about these other schools across the country that are struggling to keep their sports teams. It sucks and you know it

GREED IS KILLING COLLEGE FOOTBALL (and basketball.... to a lesser extent)

Gilbert is a good kicker. He’s 80% on FGs this year. He was 20-26 last year. Those are the numbers of a very good kicker.

The thing that separates a good kicker from an elite kicker is hitting the clutch ones.

We had a good kicker attempting that kick. We needed an elite one.

 

[Jackcrevol]

No offense to our guy, but if that Ga Tech kicker has eligibility left, I'd make room for him. He's clutch.

LOL, was about to say offer the MTSU kid. from wales the way the commentators talked him up...you knew when he trotted out there... it was over.

 

[tn4elvis]

Heartland Cabins?

Thanks I will check them out

 

[Jackcrevol]

Thanks I will check them out

They are pretty big, I think meaning they have a lot of cabins. Enjoy your weekend, and beautiful weather.

 

[Vol423]

My thought exactly. Why take a demotion? UCLA has been horrible for decades and is currently a dumpster fire.
