Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

I thought there wouldn't be much fall-off for a year or 2, based on talent alone.

One thing I did know is Milroe wasn’t Micheal Penix

A lot of football left to play in the season for the SEC and things could get spicy over the next 3-4 weeks. LSU and TAMU could F some things up...We need some dominos to fall to help us out and we need to take care of business and either beat GA, keep it close/respectable (10pts), and win the rest of our games. Vandy at Candy makes me a bit nervous. They will be playing with their hair on fire. That may very well be an ugly win.
I like that Ga has to play FL and at Ole miss before they play us... hard to get up for the Vols after two physical games. We CANNOT take kensucky kroger coal miners for granted. We go dark mode at night on halloween week and we should obliterate them... should...

Heck, TX AT Vandy could be close the first half. Commode's don't give a flying F at this point... playing with house money which is dangerous.

Georgia game will come down to our defense vs theirs. Kirby will have them jacked, but I believe Sampson has his usual 2nd half and Nico has more talent than Beck. Will be a head banger type of game, and I’m riding with our defense.

Eh, I think Saban can be Saban. Expecting someone else to be Saban could be a recipe for disaster. They didn't hire DeBoer b/c he is Saban. They hired him because of what he's done as him.

The way Alabama fans are reacting now shows why it's a bad idea to follow a legend.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I believe you are.

hold up a match, bud.

The way Alabama fans are reacting now shows why it's a bad idea to follow and legend.

I think it's about the instinct among certain types of people to always be climbing. Alabama is a better job than Washington, so being the coach at Alabama must mean it's better than being the coach at UW. Except it isn't always that simple.

DeBoer wasn't hurting for money at Washington. He could've made a long, comfortable career there -- and maybe he will at Alabama! It's early yet. It just feels so risky to try to follow someone the caliber of Saban. That fanbase won't be patient.

That is, they won't be patient until they've been beaten into submission, which I hope is what happens over the next several years. They've earned it.

More or less how I felt. I didn't think Heupel would be this good, but I felt with his offensive credentials he'd make us fun to watch.

Like a few posters already posted, I was numb at the point of the hire. We’d been through so many coaching changes in our wilderness, I just wanted to see a pulse in anywhere. I didn’t know much about Heupel when he was hired and didn’t post about it because I didn’t know and waited. I’m the rah rah (that was for SAS) type of fan and will always support.

Thought I'd do a bet for hockey since it's the crazy night where every team plays. Found the biggest favorite and bought them an extra point just to be extra safe.

Maple Leafs currently losing 5-0. Will not be betting hockey anymore.

Saban is the greatest college football coach of all time. There is only a very, very small chance Deboer will be as good as him, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to be awful.

However, being only really, really good (9-11 wins a year) will likely get him fired in 3 years at Alabama because they are dumb.

Please tell me they got lectured on proper shower protocol.

Nicos putting too much air on these throws. He’s got to drive it more.

That throw was flat. He needs more air under it, not less.

LOL ya I already had my lesson there. The favorite was up 1 set and 3 games when I bet, he went on to lose.

Worst of all, didn't the officials give Bama a preposterous spot and gift them with a first down there?

They'll try to join our fan base. Nope. No fairweather fans allowed.

EB baby

Great timing when we have DBs bringing game and a real desire for defensive excellence across the board. Great role model to call to their attention.

I know people don't like the transfer portal but I think it creates a better product for us fans. Guys like Jermod McCoy and Chris Brazzell toiling away at Oregon State and Tulane isn't as fun as seeing them play for a big program like Tennessee against other big programs like Alabama. It's better for the players and better for the majority of fans.

love tennis.

 

[Weezer]

Let me start this off by saying. I was there again this yrar...like most years. I have invested a lot of money over the years, as most (all Tennessee) fans have.

...but I went Iinto this game with a feeling that it was different. Not a thought it was going to be a blow out either way. Not even that it was going to be a talent win either way. It was going to be down and dirty.

In the sense, I was right. Actually more right than I would ever actually want to be. We sucked offensively for a half, but we won the game.

...for those TN fans that bad mouthed me for smoking cigars...off campus, before the game..... I drink scotch! Ain't no g ood scotch without a good effing cigar! **ck all of you!!

This Joel Klatt thing is infuriating me
