Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[tnhunter 10]

SEC is just brutal, gotta play mistake free or anyone can beat you.

Its a week by week league. Like the NFL.

read where boo didn't even show up to Neyland yesterday? Is that correct?

Staff knew this is where it was headed and was hoping they would put up more of a fight for Bey... I think LB is a better version of boo... maybe we can take his money and add it to what we offered bey to get him to flip back...

Correct - Boo was not in the stadium. Check out my prior posts over the past wk or two. The relationship has been worsening throughout the season. He does not want to be at UT. And Heup finally made the decision to not play him - esp how he fielded punts vs. Oklahoma.

Bey is gone. No use chasing him.

Soft. just soft.

Pretty sure this was the guy guaranteeing Lane was coming to Florida on Sunday.

If it seems to Gruden-y to be true, it probably is.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Love this

 

[Jimmy Football]

That safety put a hurtin’ on his own corner, there.

 

[Rishvol]

Soft. just soft.

What people shouldn't be mad that the city is paying for a new stadium for the worst team in the league?

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

The old “things are fluid “ routine.

Took a shot hoping to look like he knew something,
It didn’t and now he’s trying to save face.

A'la Good ol' Tre Wallace. Speaking himself into relevance.

What makes you think they didn’t put up a fight for Bey? Literally went to visit him post-OSU trip to try and sway him back

Can someone explain why this place is worse when we're good as a program than when we were terrible as a program?

 

[Volnut]

I actually like next years schedule better than this years. Lol

UGA owns us. They are off and we get a soft Texas team. Which will likely lose their DC.

OU is too emotional for Heupel and his team plays stiff against them, they are gone.

SC replaces Florida for us. Big win.
Barn, Arkansas, LSU with new coaches

I actually like it lol

They are still worried about Sark bolting to the NFL down here in the Lone Star State. After last night, some want that.

Because the people who complain the most go away when its bad.

Also expectations lead to being more critical. Theres apathy when we are awful

Happy Sunday

November 16, 2025: These are days of change; what used to be your normal will shift to a new normal. It will be subtle, but nonetheless somewhat colossal. Do not be afraid to embrace every day as it comes, regardless of how strange it seems to be. From Serenity Prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

amen. absolutely needed this

Dudes - the vast majority of VN makeup - are more emotional than women and love drama more than the ladies who sit at home and watch real housewives

Now that is not accurate.

It is at least on par with or slightly less.

Grown men here throw hissy fits. Please refer to every game thread.

It is accurate.

But we can compromise on it being even.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Soft. just soft.

It's not even that negative of a sign lol.

The FO has said the same thing multiple times.

For the folks that remember Bernie...

I'm trying to be fair. My girls are extremely dramatic. So, the bar is very low here.



And dont you dare think i'm throwing stones. No siree, that's my blood under the bus.

MOst I've ever heard Bernie Kosar talk...

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

We played Georgia close, lost because of a field goal, made stupid mistakes with Oklahoma and Alabama. All three teams are among the best in the country. This is with a team that lost Nico (and yes, he's a great quarterback--really the only reason why UCLA have won any games at all) and many of our best defensive players. Joey has been a pleasant surprise, but for the most part, on paper, an average team. I agree with Jackerol, that this may be one of Heupel's best coaching jobs. We'll see how it goes in the next two games.

Considering we replaced NINE starters on offense, and lost a first round edge, second round DT, and our only true 1-Tech on the d-line, and a 3rd team all -sec CB and the best cornerback in the nation to injury while our best all around linebacker plays with double turf toe. AND while dealing with continued recruiting restrictions from the NCAA because of the actions of the previous coach, I feel pretty good about 7-3

 

[NighthawkVol]

UGA even gonna be in the SECCG? Or you assuming a Bama loss to AUB?

Right. I think the 2nd spot is a 3-way tie between Alabama, Ole Miss, and Georgia. Georgia has the tiebreaker over Ole Miss, Alabama has it over Georgia. Alabama and Ole Miss didn’t play. So it would be Alabama-aTm in Atlanta. If Auburn were to beat Alabama, it would be Georgia. I think Ole Miss is on the outside looking in because Georgia is done with conference play.

So either way, I’m pulling for aTm in Atlanta.
