Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[mrMet]

Huntsville. Born and raised here, was saddled with this cursed fandom from my father’s family, which is from a mix of Knox area and waynesboro TN

Ah yes that’s right. I have fam in Athens. Auburn fans. I told them we could jump off the bridge together into the river after their collapse today

 

[RiseToTheTop]

they do need a big portal haul on defense


more than we have so far


they need competition in the room and talent. It sucks to see UT not have top notch safety play in 15 years. It just gets so old.

Bench his ass

I knew Willy recruiting would catch up to us.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Wow it's UGA and Bama at the top of the league and all we will hear is the media gagging on them for the rest of eternity.

Fun!

 

[mrMet]

You’re a met fan, enough said

That literally has nothing to do with “keeping up” but ok brother. Go root for Florida since you seem to be a closet boy fan

 

[Smokey123]

Heup gets the blame for loss
Joey gets the 2nd most blame
Banks sucks
Our team has bricks for hands

Did the better team win tonight?

 

[Butch Jones]

Looked up Zabien Brown’s recruiting profile and no surprise he is a 5*. Heupel is still taking a a far less talented team than Alabama and Georgia and going toe to toe. Less so tonight bc of our mistakes but the game was closer than the score indicated.

Hahaha good stuff. My wife is an Auburn grad. I grew up in Decatur area actually, so I know a good bit of folks from that limestone/morgan/madison county corridor. I’m 29, so sucked growing up with this rivalry so lopsided in the late 2000s, but still a great place to live down here.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

All I know is our offense better be prepared to put up 38+

 

[vol4eva]

Offense didnt show up enough tonight. 20 points was never going to cut it especially when the offense gives up 9 points as well.

Our Defense is not good. We know this. We have to win with Offense this year. Giving up 28 points defensively I would have bet that we win that game.

Penalties, dropped passes, bad snap, 100 yard pick six

Offense was a total mess tonight

 

[SoilVol]

Since Meyer for sure. But even since Meyer, Muschamp had an 11-win season, McElwain won the SECe twice, Mullen had two 11 win seasons and won the SECe. Napier is the only one who has done basically nothing.

A coach away…

And you never should've fired Mullen. You'd have a couple playoff appearances by now bc he would've turned it around.

And I think that should be a cautionary tale for Tennessee fans.

(Also Mullen only had one 11-win season)

 

[Smokey123]

Did the better team win tonight?

No

 

[mrMet]

I honestly trust the AP more than I do other polls, but I understand your point. Overall, I don’t care about polls until at least weeks 6+. By that point we have a decent understanding of who’s good and who’s a pretender.

As for the gf point, I’ve been married/with my wife for a total of 11 years. I honestly can’t remember the last gf, but I do know she had a decent ass.

I laughed at the last part so fair enough

No poll matters until the CFP, which was my subtle point lol

 

[JT3]

While I don’t disagree, the soft ass zone gets picks apart by any QB with a pulse, even if you drop 7-8. You gotta take more chances in a game like this where you’re already playing from behind, at least in my couch QB opinion.

I agree. I just don't think it matters. Our DBs cant hold up regardless. I believe our LBs are the main culprits for our zone issues, they are terrible. Redmond is playing with 0 confidence, he is giving heavy cushion every play and unfortunately we don't have any other options at the moment.

You still gonna be at Arky State next year?

 

[RandomUTfan]

Mullen hated recruiting, hated the entire NIL process and quit on Florida. If you want to call coaches regarding Florida, Spurrier and Meyer are close to the program and available.

Mullen hated recruiting so much he went to the UAA and said he needed more $ invested into recruiting. Okay.

Or Mullen quit on Florida because it became clear the reality of the resources available were outstripped by fan expecations. Not sure who the next guy Florida hires will be. But it won't be Steve Spurrier or Urban Meyer 2.0.

 

[vol4eva]

Did the better team win tonight?

Bama was definitely better

 

[VolMike16]

Who are the leaders on this team? Tyre West? Bishop?

I'm frustrated with coaching, but some of these players have to hold their teammates accountable for some of this. But, who are those leaders to do that?

Well Josephs seemed to call out the entire defense I believe after Miss. St. Hasn't mattered one bit. They can't even stumble into an elite performance.

 

[volKano]

Without a doubt

No one is rooting for Florida. Keep drinking.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Did the better team win tonight?

Yes. The team that makes the fewest mistakes wins.

We have to clean it up or we won't be 10-2.

I just realized you said some family from waynesboro. We used to go bridge jumping over there but can’t remember the creek name — I’m from Lawrenceburg originally

We used to drive down to Florence drunkenly and go to on the rocks and one of the other spots down there like fools

 

[JT3]

Not to poo on you, but that’s the obvious point. As bad as our secondary has been, we’re losing all of them to the draft. I wouldn’t even blame Gibson for leaving with all the work he did to add weight over the offseason. He may not be a first rounder, but someone will take a chance on him and I think he could end up the best of this bunch in the NFL.

But will we pay up tho? We don't value paying safety and we probably need starting corners and a starting star next year. I like our front 7 though and shouldn't need much on offense.

 

[Smokey123]

On a week there was 4 losses in front of us
