Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Expected more from you. You’re a dominant message board force of nature.

Hope your day gets better man

And conversely each generation thinks their parents are dumb and out of touch with reality and have no clue what they are taking about so they don’t learn the lessons their parents try to teach them.

It's amazing how much smarter my parents got as I got older.

No you don’t…hence our exchange.

3 Teams, 3 Goals, 1 Ball
OmegaBall?

looks kinda cool.

 

[butchna]

Pretty good, but could it be better? Perhaps that’s the point when they’re saying he does just the bare minimum. Imagine going full throttle, maybe we’d have 2-3 5*. Just a thought.

Like that goose that crapped out more gold the harder you stomped it’s guts.

Killer poster.

Never forget

K - been thinking about Regular Season & Playoff football games/schedules:
All teams - 10 regular season games + 2 byes = 12 weekends
(2025) Start regular season August 30 and end regular season November 15
Conference championships November 22
16 teams make Playoffs - no byes, no gimme conference champs - based on top 16 at end of regular season

1st round (all teams play - 8 games, neutral fields (”bowl games”) all December 6
2nd round (4 games, neutral fields (”bowl games”) all December 13
3rd round (2 games, neutral fields (“bowl games”) all December 20
Championship Game, neutral field (bowl game) January 3

Would be like March Madness, almost like two seasons. Regular season play for conference championship and being in top 16. Playoffs - play for national championship.

14 (or 15 if conference champ game) total games
I think Pros play 17 regular season games…do they have any byes in regular season?

Thoughts….GO!

I like it, but I think 1st round should be home field advantage for top 8. I also think you have to give conference champs automatic bid BUT seeding is based on where they’re ranked. So if they’re a conference champ but outside the Top 16, then 16th gets booted and conference champ is in at 16th seed. I just think you gotta reward the conference champs, otherwise what’s the point of 1) playing in the conference title game and 2) conferences in general?

Lady Vols layeth the smacketh down on Arkansas today. 93-63


Improve to 14-2 on the season 2-2 in conference..

Listened to a few videos about our LadyVols and a recurring theme from talking heads is “ will her system work in SEC”.

Kinda looks like it will to me. Get some more elite talent and watch her go!

 

[Jimmy Football]

It's funny..........

NFL play-off games are blow-outs and nobody whines.
CFP games are blow-outs and everyone has a "come-apart."

Wait, wasn’t it a long-running joke through the 80s-90s that the Super Bowl was always a blowout?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Who you think wins League MVP?

Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson

Should be Allen

 

[Ace]

For anyone watching the Eagles and Packers, the LB Cooper for the Packers is the player for Texas A&M that Milton destroyed by running through him last year. He was A&M’s leader on defense.

 

[SmokinBob]

I would like more information, please. Sounds like a good cause.

This is what I think I know (all from following him on Twitter/X)
VERY Dedicated Tennessee Fan
He owns a fabrication/manufacturing/ITish business in East Tennessee
He and his employees responded immediately to the needs in the mountains after Helene and dedicated all their work (physical labor) there for a couple of weeks. He paid his employees during that time.
He donated and help raise funds for immediate needs in mountain towns affected and delivered “stuff”
He donated and helped raise funds for Christmas gifts to Childrens Home in Western NC affected
He delivered gifts there
He has a competition with the fans for away games he goes to - benefits away team children’s hospital by buying away team‘s swag & delivers to that hospital‘s kids. (started with Georgia 2 years ago, I think - even fabricated a trophy that is with Georgia or Tennessee location for fundraising the most $$ - Georgia won the first year and in ‘24)

This particular effort (Ohio State kid) was started when he learned about this little guy a week or so before we played Ohio State. Focus was to get little guy to game in a suite. Raised enough $$ to pay for transportation, hotel and Coach Day made the suite happen. So much $$ raised that he & his wife, and little guy and his mom & dad went on a shopping spree to buy swag and deliver to local children’s hospital. Left over $$ given to little guy’s family to pay for transportation costs to get to NC for special treatments.

Little guy’s dad posted how excited little guy was about championship game - hence this effort.

Yes NFL teams get 1 bye week...

Being Conference Champs and hanging the banner!

Also, I’m kinda looking at it like a “second season” - like March Madness

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Should be Allen

Hes an absolute beast. Hope they finally get past Kermit and the Chefs this year. They likely have a couple Superbowl rings by now if they could beat KC.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Random thought, I think we have the QB’s enrolled/committed to be in the hunt for the foreseeable future.

 

[mrMet]

I found one of you

[knoxvol52]

Jordan Love stinking up the joint. 70 yards passing and 2 int's..

 

[jave36]

Hurts had like 8 seconds and still took a sack lol

 

[knoxvol52]

Only in Philadelphia will the fans boo the offense as their team is leading 10-0...

 

[you]

We’ve had to have the highest NIL offer on pretty much all unfortunately.

I would venture to guess MOST players go to the highest offer.

 

[drvenner]

It was Hugh Freeze, in the film room, with the burner phone.

You don't have a clue.
