Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[SoilVol]

Put another way...

Consider the average person. Then consider that half of all people are dumber than that. Then consider that 10% are way, waaaay, dumber than that.

Then cower in your basement in fear.

It's worse. Consider the average person..... in all seriousness the "average" intelligence you thought of is significantly higher than the true average intelligence of humans.

If TV stays, he better win big this season.

Fans will have a very short leash/memory

How would fans have a short leash with him if he turned down an MLB job to stay with us?

Question: do we finally come out Saturday like a team motivated to exercise their frustrations and crush their opponent, or are we gonna be in a stressful close battle with the worst team in the sec?

Think we come out asses on fire
We have no room for error from here on out
Hopefully that mentality has set in
We know we’re really good

Must be why UT is trying so hard to keep him

Basilio is a freaking idiot..if you really love Tennessee, why would you do what he has done and try to create a giant rift?...that jackass loves nothing but himself and will say anything to inflame the Idiot Margin and drive up engagement.

I hate our local media...IMO the Idiot Margin is their evil bastard baby.

Ole Miss lost their Super Bowl last weekend in heartbreaking fashion. The game is at Oklahoma. Venables will have a great defensive scout. I think Ole Miss is likely to lay an egg on Saturday.

I hope they do. That would help us hugely.

I agree. Add in that most baseball fans are a bit more discerning than the average Vol football fans.

Basilio sucks. If he even had any contacts, I bet Danny will be trying to shore things up more. He acts like he is in the know and he gets most of his information from boards.

It's always mattered to the people that love Tennessee Vols Baseball.... I understand you believe football is the only sport at this University but you're wrong....

Never heard anyone mention Vol baseball in my entire life until TV. It was fringe. Football is king and we need to he good at it. We don't need to be good at anything else except Lady Vol basketball, since we are as blueblood as it gets in that.

You never want to be bad, but if we were an afterthought in baseball for generations, it's f'n stupid for fans to complain about baseball the way they already have with an elite program and it will be even dumber when they complain if we aren't elite.

I assume its the old school football fans that are the irrational ones about baseball.

 

[dmwvol12]

The last 5-10 years have actually terrified me...I knew a lot of people were stupid, but I never thought that it was this bad.

I think the biggest difference is that the dumbest people are also the loudest people on social media. In years past they would just tell their buddies now they can tweet it to the world. Everyone is also looking for clicks and followers so they can be an influencer. Nonsense reigns supreme in modern American society.

Exactly. This is very different than Barnes “flirting” with UCLA several years ago, IMO.

If Barnes had talks with the Houston Rockets I don’t think there would’ve been any problems.

Oh, clicks... Makes much more sense. I tell you, us old people with our bad eyesight. That "cl" looks an awful lot like a "d", not that I'm judging. You look for what you want to look for...

Portal needs IMO:

2 safeties
2-3 corners
1-2 OL
2 DT
1 TE
1 QB for depth from low division
1 RB

 

[NMVol]

It was a sports news story. Nothing confirmatory from either party. Why is a public response required?

If Vitello stays, Pandora’s Box has been opened (in large part to our local media/fanbase)

Every major school that considers Baseball a high priority with an opening will be knocking on Tony Vitello’s door because they think/know now that he & the AD don’t have the best working relationship.

Johnny called them the "Legions of the Miserable" but Johnny also thought he was bigger than the program, so they probably deserved each other.

What's so bad about the local media, is that for years, all Knoxville sports media had was interlopers that disliked UT and were self-promoting, self-absorbed drama-mongers. Adams, Hyams, Strange, etc.
The typical homerism you get in college towns was completely absent outside the confines of the Vol Network and the local TV affiliate's sports departments.

Not all about calling UK coal miners, but this was hilarious.

A WR or two as well

3 safeties for good measure

We shall see! We’re way under scholarship limits right now and we will have a few leave and go to the NFL. This recruiting class is amazing and we should be able to go up to 105 next year. It’s time to go all out in the portal and go for a title next year. So I cub turmoil with coaching changes should make it easy to land some studs in the portal. Can’t be lazy again.

I could see this football season spinning in the wrong direction (would be a first real down season for Heupel). Thus, if we loose to the kitties, Oklahoma, and Florida, will minds explode? Of course, I could easily see it go the other way with us winning out and of course, beating the Gatas is always my biggest wish.

I could see it

This defense is so bad that group could really make this a reality unfortunately.

I didn't realize how stupid people are until I started reading comments on social media. It's kinda depressing to see how stupid the majority of younger people are.

As long as UK doesn't get to the redzone, we should be fine. Opponents in the redzone score TDs 82% of the time.

Not losing to UK. OU and FL tough games.
