Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[knoxvol52]

As I suspected, his attorneys are reviewing things. There’s a proposal to address his concerns, and they’re still talking. On the SF side, not sure whether their offer is papered in an LOA either. Everyone said this would be done yesterday one way or another. TV doesn’t want the team in limbo and has said that. He isn’t holding things up. I can’t see it going much longer without some news.

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.

Younger people are absolutely not the only stupid people on social media lol

[BigOrange15]

Unfortunately, its stupid all the way down lol

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Lol we should make that a VN-ism. "Death Knell"

Death nail would be the VN-ism...Death Knell is the real thing.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I mean we could, but it's only funny if it's wrong. Now sure, "deaf nail" I can get behind.

Or death nail..

 

[Wickman]

Great gif

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

wouldnt it be a death knell?

What if the nail only thinks it's deaf while, in fact, the hammer is mute?

I really did not see Vandy being as good as they've been, I literally thought they would win four games. Clark Lea must be a magician. Candy better hang on to him. Wth all the speculation on coaching moves he has to be high up in those conversations.

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?

I think we are always ready, I'm just wondering if we can weather our brain farts! All we need is a clean 1st quarter and we'll bury them.

They are the oldest team in the country

They have guys who have been there forever and hit on their guys and portal class but they lose almost the entire two deep on both sides after this yr. Pavia has played in this system 4-5 yrs now. It will be back to typical Vandy next yr.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Sure would be nice if McCoy was available by Oklahoma.

Don't get your hopes up. I don't think he plays for the big orange 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.

Imp 7-5 is the absolute floor, with 9-3 being the most realistic. This is a really tough stretch of

@uk
Vs #13 ou
Nmsu
@uf
Vs #10 Vandy

Im assuming we beat uk and nmsu, hence the floor 7-5, I think we can beat ou and vandy as the games are in neyland, uf im not confident in because we always play bad on the road and especially against florida. I swear with florida they could put a local hs team out there in gators jerseys and would find a way to beat us

Agree. I think this was decided well before the season started

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

They took Texas into OT. Granted our O is better, but also we’re Kentucky’s biggest game.

Here is the question....Will the team be pissed off or down and out? If we come out down...we will lose.

I have zero idea what to expect..except this...nobody can just show up and expect their uniform to get them a win anymore...so Kentucky will beat the piss out of us if we don't show up pissed off and ready to play....you can bank on that.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Drink would be a pain at UF.

He is a pain at Mizzou

Have a look at the current averge reading level of Americans. Frightening. Our majore issues with education are coming to roost.

@peaygolf @Tennessee Golfer give me your favorite one liner in the bunker when you’re struggling

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

ESPN gives us a 90% chance to make the playoff if we win out.

We would be in the playoff if we win out and go 10-2.

I don't see us winning in the Swamp..I don't even know if we can beat Vandy or Okie at home right now..Vandy looks all-around better than us right now.

If our offense doesn't get it's mojo back...we are done.

I don't think it's Lea as much as it is Jerry Kill, Tim Beck, Diego Pavia, and a somewhat weak schedule up to this point. They are obviously not the Vanderbilt of old and the aforementioned people are what changed at Vanderbilt before last season that I think have been the catalyst for their improvement. At the same time, the top of the SEC isn't as strong as it used to be, so the competition has come back towards them some. One of these smaller job openings would be smart to hire Tim Beck because they likely also get Jerry Kill as a support staff member and both of those guys together are really good. I wouldn't be surprised if Vanderbilt falls backwards with those two and Pavia. They probably won't become a cupcake again, but somewhat in line with where Kentucky is at right now...bottom of the SEC but still solid enough in some areas to give you a tough game and sneak away with a few unexpected wins.

Drink is just a pain.

I understand now holy ***…I’m with Tony on this if NIL is the case especially after winning a natty.

I don't think it's fair to look at it by a percentage. I'm sure we bring in much more total revenue than those schools. TV might be getting significantly more money even at a lower percentage.

Sounds like the ball’s in Danny’s court and it’s also not a baseball vs WBB thing like some are making it about and devouring our own.

From the Baseball Forum:

To be clear, money gets players. His biggest concern revolves around that. Mechanically he wants to be on equal footing with the other top programs. This has nothing to do with an ax he wants to grind with women’s basketball. The net effect of what Arky did got them more NIL. How we get on equal footing isn’t his concern. He just doesn’t want to play poker with no chips.
