Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

I'm not sure what point of yours you think I proved. . .

Clock: Why not stop the clock for injuries and such instead of leaving it to the referee's discretion? Then everyone wouldn't be in the dark as to how much time is left in the match.

Fake injuries: Why not give each team a TO per half and allow players to reenter the match once if substituted? Then players wouldn't have to act like they're on death's door to get a breather.

Low Scoring: Why not implement a shot clock (it could be a lengthy one)? That way, a team that scores first can't play keep-away for the rest of the game.

Some simple changes could make the game a lot more enjoyable IMO.

Timeouts and shot clocks would destroy the game. Teams aren’t just playing keep away when you see them passing side to side, they are probing and setting up an attack and looking for the defense to slip up on their rotation. There’s no timeouts to adjust, to change scheme, or to get breathers.. you either come prepared, have good enough players to adjust in the middle of the action, or you lose. One guy on defense doesn’t understand his assignment and a good team will expose it. The reason why the original OP said most that don’t like it don’t understand it is accurate. Soccer can be a game inside of a game inside of a game at times and understanding all of these and watching the strategy and execution is exciting and fun to soccer fans. Of course it’s possible to understand all of this, like you say you do, and still not like the sport.. to each their own, but it’s the #1 sport in the world for a reason. It needs some minor rule tweaks like all sports do, but an overhaul of the gameplay and strategy would be awful.

I find people who don't enjoy soccer genuinely don't understand the game. If more Americans understood the strategy of soccer, it would outperform any other sport in terms of attendance besides football.

I understand it. I don’t like it. To each his own…

Johnnie Jones........................enough said!

I mean, way more can be said; but, I think I'm picking up what you're laying down. Jones may be the greatest; but, those runs by Graham in 95 and 96 against Bama are legendary.

 

[jakez4ut]

that was....great lol

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Don't you trust your life to a bus driver whenever you get on a bus anywhere? Do you not ever ride a bus or let your family ride?

Relative risk vs extremely high risk.

I've seen a lot of people starting to jump on the South Carolina bandwagon smh

'Feel good story'. Nothing more.

Especially in 96, that was a tight game.

Sounds like this weekend, Jr Day, went amazing. A lot of talent was on campus, and we crushed it. 8+ wins this year, and the 23 class WILL BE special, imo.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

You need to go to an Atlanta United game. It’s filled and loud. Truly a lot of fun. I go with friends who don’t even like soccer and they love the games.

Same with NashvilleSC games. Took some friends who didn’t like soccer and one of them bought two season tickets for next year at the new stadium. The other one still won’t watch it on TV but loved it live.

 

[jakez4ut]

I was there. That was normal at Neyland in the seasons from 95-01.

Fyp.😉
95 uga and 96 Bama were two of the loudest games I've been to live.

His run vs bama was legendary as well........

Oh, yeah...no doubt. May be the most legendary. Good call.

Good times!!

Lol who saw that coming…

 

[Volator]

Understand Al was yelling "I'm coming,,, you know I am coming.. I'm coming" the entire game as he was moving in and out of the d line positions. Unnerving to the gators to say the least.

I was at the first game for NashvilleSC against Atlanta United in 2020. The next weekend is when they completely shut down everything for Covid. Spent Sunday riding in the back of my truck hungover as hell. Made my brother drive my truck home because I felt so bad. Good times.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kirby Dumb choking on the Cocks again. That was hilarious. Let all the scores be turnovers, so Rattled doesn't get any credit. Then let Beamer get embarrassed the following week.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Good times!!

Kids used to take pride in playing for their school. Now they just play for a chance to go to Bama.
