Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

AP saying on Pod if we make a change from Chaney we better be committed for 2 more years with Pruitt otherwise you're going to end up with another Larry Scott.

If Jeremy is back I am going to find something else to do with my time next season. Looks like my golf and travel budgets are going to have to be increased. I'll use the tickets savings I've had for the past 5 years. Can always watch the replays if they do something good, which will probably not be often.

What a year. I would sucker punch 2020 if it was a person.

would def suggest it.

I just hate it for the younger generations of fans. Look, I’ve got a lifetime of great UT football memories, and our incompetent administration can’t take those away from me.

But for a lot of the younger fans, all they have is this clown show that we’ve been running for the past 15 years. What a shame. They deserve better.

And we're gonna do it.

I’m more worried about what this means for our football program. It is showing that they can’t get boosters to poney up. Is it them turning on Fulmer? Are they reaching the point of apathy too? They have to know that fans are close to out and Neyland will barely have 60-70k. Maybe less. Yet they are still saying they can’t afford it. This program may be close to accepting being a bottom dweller.

in that case...

I'm out. Time to email Fulmer.

Or, you know, we could have zero more years with both. I like that better.

In a Covid year, for them to beat everyone they’ve faced but fall short of the championship game because of NORMAL rules? It’s a special kind of stupid. Glad the Big 10 set it straight.

While I agree with your sentiment, I freaking hate OSU and wish they had gotten left out in the cold.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

So off topic, is anyone nervous about the rapidly produced and cleared Covid vaccines?
I may have the opportunity to get it early... I don’t really want to become a zombie though.

We are due to be one of the first to get it and I'm leery about it. As a facility, we will have to take it (if we choose to) in stages, due to side effects.

But do you hate bama more?

 

[butchna]

Which is pretty rare. I’ll admit that I grit my teeth every time he shows up to throw a wet blanket on something, but you’ve got to give the guy his due.

You got some examples...RECENTLY? All I’ve noticed is when he shows up to update us on why he’s still “done”. AtlantaVol gets crap for much more nailing.

If Fulmer really allows him to revamp staff then that means Fulmer is promising Pruitt two more years. Any new assistant is going to require a 3 year contract and assurance that Fulmer has Pruitt’s back. This would line up with reports that Fulmer sees this as a 5 year rebuild. I am not saying this is the right move, but it does line up with previous reports.

Man if y’all have a chance listen to the Swain Event hours 2 and 3. Conversation around Mauers comments and callers calling in talking about what being a TN fan means to them. Pulling the heart strings. With all the negatively it really showcases how Vols fans really are the best.

I agree but I think most people know deep down that this admin isn't going to do anything.

Young fans do not care. We recruit mostly UGA and UT grads. UT grads do not care about football. When we talk ball, they could care less. This University is losing the fanbase slowly but surely.

I’m fine with Osovet getting a shot. Would be more fine with Freeze.

The real fanbase sits and rolls with it. The others will be there when we win.

It won't matter. Most likely will be mandated with employers coerced to cooperate.. Vaccination or unemployment...

I have a lot of young fans in my family, and they care, to varying degrees. It’s just hard to get them to watch garbage week after week. They’ve got a lot of entertainment options these days.

When we were undefeated in 2016, UT football was all they wanted to talk about.

Thats just it, we will be here long after the Brian Maurers of the world have moved on into the professional world

I know waiting is the hardest part, but no one should expect any announcements either way before the season is over.

No love lost for me either. Meet a Buckeye fan and you hate the experience. I’m not bogged down with being fair, but in an honest discussion they earned a spot if they win out.
