Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[knoxvol52]

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

Well it starts with the WGWTFA speech half the board gives and when plans don't go the way the fans THINK they should, then the bitching and whining come out of nowhere...

First the complaining about play calling and defense, then when that gets tiresome then here comes the EXCUSES... Like clockwork...

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

I know it's pure delusion to believe Kiffin is coming to Gainesville, but at least they targeted a coach with success in college football to delude themselves into believing they would land.

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

Texas will beat A&M , then. It will be Alabama vs Georgia in SEC Championship game.. book it.

I don’t see Texas beating aTm.

Edit: apparently, I’m wrong that Ole Miss is done or that aTm has clinched:
Updated SEC Championship tiebreakers for Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss

 

[knoxvol52]

No it won’t.

aTm is in no matter what. They clinched yesterday.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Yep…see my edit above.

bandwagon fans are here.

I think too many of you all are counting out ATM because they had to come from so far back against South Carolina. For one thing, South Carolina has given teams fits all year. For another aTm had an absolutely terrible first half, as good teams can do, but simply dominated that second half. They look like a championship team.

That is a really good football team that believes. Explosive offense and very good defense. I think they’re the most well-rounded team in the SEC. That’s why they’re undefeated.

I don’t see this version of Texas beating them.

I think fans are terrified of slipping back to the dark ages. It creates a lot of anxiety.

A bandwagon Tennessee fan hasn’t existed in over 25 years.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

#20 in the coaches poll

 

[Rishvol]

soft for escorting them out................not the fans and the sign

I know. I was saying the worst owner in the league is soft

 

[orange parmejohn]

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

Great assessment

 

[knoxvol52]

Tennessee #20 in Coaches Poll.


Alabama drops 6 spots to #10 need those guys to lose to Auburn...in 2 weeks.

Well the idiots better realize it'll come faster if they run off Heupel. Honestly some of these "fans" would rather be terrible imo

[NighthawkVol]

For the folks that remember Bernie...

Hate seeing him look that unhealthy. He was the QB who put Miami on the college football map.

Watching him lead the Browns against Elway‘s Broncos in the playoffs was some of my earliest great NFL memories.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We were loaded with veterans…shiii like this is why it’s important our young guys get PT behind seniors.they’re not going to stay in school forever

No matter what the reason...those vets didn't coach themselves. These braindead idiot "fans" of ours need to understand that you can't blame the coaches for the crap, and not praise them for the great. They have shown the capability to coach a elite defense...they did not just forget....just like Heup did not suddenly get stupid and forget how to coach offense because he didn't have a QB for two years that could do some of the things necessary for his offense to operate at full capacity.

 

[BigSteve09]

Here goes the line dropping from 3.5

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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

You forgot about also losing our insanely talented Star CB to brain damage..

 

[knoxvol52]

Josh Allen from 2022 has shown up today for the Buffalo Bills...

Sure there are. They claim they have been Bama fans their whole life. They migrate back when we started winning. Fair weather fans may be a better term bc there are several that are more invested now than they were 6 yrs ago. I know that I can talk a huge difference at the stadium.

Lots of front runner fans tho.

Lose a game or two and it’s “I’m done with this team”
