Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[JCVol00]

I honestly think 18 is a fair spot. McCoy is still hurt, but besides that our defense is looking solid. Offense is a ? besides RB.

This may be his campaign slogan

Our WRs sucked last year except Thorton occasionally streaking for 6. We’ll blow out Cuse, and I’m not ruling out our salty defense shutting down Jawja’s QB. Also for the first time in the Kirby era I couldn’t tell you who they are starting at tailback. Just need AC to not let the TE abuse him like last year.

Gunner don't scurr me

He caint throw the bawl down the field.

This cool weather has caused my grass to grow about 6" in 2 days. I kinda liked it when it looked dead and didnt grow for a month.

Did you accidently put some Viagra on your lawn

I think my neighbor's dog has been taking massive dumps all over it, fertilizing it.

Where will we park? Nashville?

I am guessing it's not bermuda. It's been a while since I heard it, but there is a 150 degree rule with bermuda. Bermuda will not really grow until the low and high temps for the day exceed 150. My backyard should probably be mowed every week in the middle of the summer. It takes off. I can tell when the fall temps start just by seeing the growth of the grass.

You're using the golf course analogy. Our superintendent uses that gauge, 150 degrees between day and nightly highs, to determine when to use certain chemicals on the greens and fairways. It's not a wife's tale, it actually works.

Cant wait to vote against him and hopefully play a part in ruining his political career

He was a press conference champion. I always thought he’d make a good polytick. I’ll vote for him

Thank goodness

Thank goodness

I was looking forward to seeing South Harriman Institute for Technology play Pellissippi State or University of Phoenix in the 1st round. . .

 

[MarcoVol]

Thank goodness

I always knew the NCAA had everyone’s best interests at heart

I thought it was South Harriman School for the Blind.

I'm not sure. Just regular stuff you see in East Tennessee. . .

I did buy some other type of sod/grass 20+ years ago. The man told me I could plant just a small patch and it would eventually take over my whole yard. I planted about a 5x5 area back then and it covers about 1/8 acre now. It looks like the stuff on football fields. Doesnt get real tall and it's real thick. I wish it did cover my whole yard. I could skip a week mowing it and you'd never know, .

Probably Zoysia


Dad got some off his neighbor 40 years ago and it's took over the majority of his 1.5 acres. It started off as a 3' ×3' piece. He said don't ever burn a brush pile on it because you can't hardly get the fire out.

Not sure what people expected when we decided not to reload at WR after losing so many to graduation and the portal... staff knew coming in to camp we have only two WR's with any game experience and both currently are not at full speed. Whatever ends up happening at that position this season is squarely on the staff and AD... they made the decision, now they have to deal with it... no excuses. It is what it is... besides starting a new QB, new starting RB, new Center, new edge rotation, no true timeline on McCoy returning, this is probably one of the factors in folks picking us to finish 9th in the SEC...

I think we are going to shock people with how well we play this season, not worried about any position group except QB and WR... which is expected...

Holy sh*t, do you need to go to the doctor?

 

[mrMet]

Vols are ranked 18th in the coaches poll. Not to be negative but I am stunned thought we would be in the other receiving votes section

Well this is why we make fun of you lol

 

[jave36]

lol at you thinking they aren’t some of the most competitive people out there.

If you’re running for the US Senate in a crowded primary, you better have a killer instinct.

And while parties remain important for the ballot, personalities win races - not parties. Parties today - on both sides - are in disarray.

I've known a few senators, and they absolutely didn't have a killer instinct. All of them had money, knew people with money, had name recognition in the district, and knew people in party leadership. They had no spine. You watch too much TV and movies and assume it's a cutthroat battle of clever geniuses trying to outwit each other on a political chess board.

There are a few masterminds in party leadership, but almost all the senators are wealthy, connected people who are willing to toe the party the line. And they'd love someone like Dooley who will do what he's told and have enough money and popularity behind him to keep getting elected and voting the way the party wants.

That's the type of crying we endured about dbs last year. That turned out pretty ok.

Well this is why we make fun of you lol

I thought I was mistaken once but I was mistaken.

 

[Jackcrevol]

No Bueno

They were doing pushups the other day.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Even an better thrown ball to the WRs back shoulder would have been 50/50 there. That was great coverage by Hood regardless how well or poorly thrown that ball was. That is the main point you seem to be missing.

That wasnt what other's were arguing. I even stated it was a great play by Hood, on an under thrown ball. the other part of this was also to NOT malign MM, who really had no play on it. (Even though I didnt see him in the original video, he did appear).

 

[Jackcrevol]

No reason to worry

Yeah, I'm not too concerned. I mean you cant expect the transfer to be on same page with the WRs. Seems like our young guys are feeling the pressure.

I’m gonna take credit for this idea as I was talking about it after the story of the long time season ticket holder.

Built up demand, lack of supply, and Ticketmaster and resellers are the ones profiting from it. More seats equals more season ticket purchases, more people on campus for game day which is more concessions and merch purchases, and lower resale values. Everybody wins. Make it happen DW!
