Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

It's funny but it also highlights my beliefs that the people who run this conference are a bunch of clowns.

 

[VawlIn]

This is why statistics matter.

Can you name who should be his replacement that will have us shutting down UGA and OSU? Dan Lanning couldn’t even shut down OSU

Our defense falls apart at least once a year on the road though, and with him being the DC that will ultimately be something he has to answer for if it doesn’t get fixed. I’m not necessarily saying he should be fired, but if we can’t fix our inevitable road disappearances every season (South Carolina and Georgia in 22, Missouri and Florida in 23, and Georgia who was a mediocre offensive team) there’s a guy that would be an upgrade like a Muschamp it’d be hard to not do it

I thought once you decide to go pro you cant comeback to college.

 

[tnvols72]

He is a hot mess

For those of us who had very competitive dads... if you know, you know.

Tim Banks is an elite DC

15 and then a 0 (or whatever it is now)

17-0

Tim Banks is an elite DC

I am not trying to start a war here, but in big games the last couple of years, we’ve been nowhere close to elite.
‘23 UF, Mizzou, Ga
‘24 ark, ga, osu
Opponents were 75% passing, 59% 3rd down, including a couple of 7-8 ypc games and multiple 6-10 minute drives given up because we couldn’t get off the field.
We have to do better. Safeties 25 yards off the ball in 3rd and 5 won’t cut it, nor will dropping Josephs 15 yards deep on a 3rd and 7 telegraphed zone blitz.
Banks is ok. He’s not elite and not fooling anyone with a decent qb. You can’t give up 300 yards passing at a 75% clip and 60% 3rd downs and 35-40 minutes TOP over 5-6 big games and be elite at the same time.

Happy Wednesday

July 16, 2025: These are times to stay calm even when the storm rages around you. God is with you to help you and to give you wisdom when you do not know what to do. This too shall pass. Do not give in to fear that will paralyze you emotionally. Keep your focus on the Lord. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Was it was due to the Chinese take over of our last thread? Damn communists! Can someone go back and rescue Doc and Smokin Bob from the last one?

I made it out! Had to read through the whole thread, cause I just got to.

@SmokinBob was right behind me…has anyone seen her here yet?

The last time Muschamp had a defense under his own control and was a DC, not a co-DC:

AUB 2015:

- L 45-21 @ LSU
- L 54-46 @ ARK
- gave up 34 points to Idaho @ home

Just wait until the attacks accusing me of being "negative" start. I'm sure they're coming. Honest takes are not appreciated.

Ok Nancy.

ALERT!!! @VolsDoc81TX has made it to the new thread!

This statement is why he couldn’t play for butch. Also why his career path soared.

You’ve gotta be kidding putting ARK on there we gave up 19 freaking points

Would you say Chip Kelly is a good OC?

Last year his offense - which was dominant - fell apart in some games.

Scored a putrid 21 points vs NEB. Mustered only 20 vs PSU. Was completely dominated by Michigan and scored 10.

Chip Kelly just can’t get it done every single game. I bet OSU is happy he’s gone!

I know and coulda left them off and Nico blew it a couple times but we let the qb eat us up until he got hurt.

Clue

Honorable Mentions: Easy Rider, Django Unchained, Empire Strikes Back, Temple Of Doom, Jurassic Park, Boyz In The Hood, Forest Gump (Forest is the only one I've ever forgiven for being a Bammer...Derek Thomas, too.)

Shawshank Redemption and Goodfellas has to be SOMEWHERE on this list, too...somewhere in the Top 5.

 

[Glitch]

I love the smell of a new thread. He’s probably waiting while poor Doc and Smokin Bob are still stuck in the old thread. Do we not have search and rescue?

 

[Glitch]

Sure, you suck as a poster and Marsupial.
