Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[MarcoVol]

Every year like clockwork. Why no disputes before the WNBA season?

Contracts usually run for a year. Or start and end during the same month they were signed even if longer than a year. Pretty standard stuff.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Not together. both offenses suck if you want to be honest

You're being deliberately obtuse....and the offense didn't "suck" the last two years unless you are just comparing it to every other Josh Heupel offense...it was a mediocre passing but elite rushing offense, for sure it wasn't a great, but we led the league in rushing, which offenses that "suck" do not ever do, and we still scored good enough to win 10 games despite the misfires...see the Tennessee JG led offenses for what an offense that "sucks" truly is.

 

[Brillovol]

Didn't see this posted. Blake Burke: professional hitter

 

[Batman1948]

Squirrel seems decent, other than he can't seem to stay upright when the ball gets with 10' of him.

Same after he catches the deep ball. Never seemed to have good balance

One dimensional can’t do that plain and simple…we need offense

This helps explain much of KY and WV. (Don't @ me goobers part of my ancestory is KY)

The Wilt Chamberlin effect?

There was a good article on this subject recently. Basically, it said our offensive output has changed since Golesh left a few years ago.

Golesh said he and Heupel had a unique relationship and that he called the plays without interference from Heupel. I know people won't believe this, but Golesh was the heartbeat of our offense.

It may be true that we haven't had the QB play since he left but I'll go to my grave believing if he was still our OC, we would be a much better team than we are now.

What about the years that Heup offenses have been successful before Golesh was with him? So when Heup was an OC. Golesh the heartbeat of those offenses that put up excellent numbers?

 

[Batman1948]

Last I saw was -13.5

It changes based off the bets being placed. It goes up or down to protect the book maker. They're just trying to cover their potential losses

 

[Brillovol]

I know depth chart hasn't been revealed yet, but this is real.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Thought it was 14 prior?

Opened at 10

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Some strange posts as usual. Leading the SEC in rushing means your Offense does not "suck". This is Heupels Offense. Golesh was a good collaborator while he was here. I would guess Lutrell will be a great extra set of eyes to have. If the Run game leads to points and allows us to control the outcome, isn't that the object of the game?

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Lose a home game every year it’s supposed to be in Neyland?

Lose a home game every year. We have Neyland north too

 

[Weezer]

You must've laughed, otherwise you wouldn't have anything to think about.

To maintain the quality of this forum, I propose the creation of a new group with the purpose of limiting the Yeti population and providing an appropriate response when the current population gets out of control.

I don't laugh at hate. You are a bad person.

 

[WesTnVol]

No lies detected.

Is it an unspoken rule that you have to go thru Texas A&M first before you transfer as a QB

It quite literally is because of the QB play and average receiving core. It's a fact.

When Golesh was the coordinator for the Bowling Green game and Pitt game....it looked like 2023 and 2024...why? Quarterback. Missing and not seeing the field.

Heuepl's hands have been tied behind his hack the last two years.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

also I get Bama has a pretty soft schedule...but they were 9-3 last year with an even easier schedule (only played 4 top 25 teams, only 2 on the road).

This year they open at FSU, play at Georgia, vs Tennessee, at South Carolina vs LSU and then vs OU (those 4 are all in a row. I'm still not sure how much trust I have in DeBoer with so much unknown on their offense... I think 10-2 is crazy talk personally.

Gonna love watching even more gumps realize their dynasty has fallen. . . and our merch sales explode in Nashville & Chattanooga as bandwagon gumps jump back onto the O&W train,

DeBoer is a proven winner unfortunately.

They’ll likely be much better in the passing game. Roster crazy talented.

FSU might be hot dog water again. Perhaps less so than last year. What’s UGA gonna be on offense? What’s USCe gonna be on defense? And LSU’s HC is Brian Kelly.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

The next day effects of coming off deporesant, and bouncing back. Even after one or two. Just isnt worth it.

Also lost 21 lbs. Back to my, no. Kidding. My knees are shot.

Drinking is terrible. Not really fun at all, or at least the fun doesn't outweigh the debt you have to pay in hangovers and empty pockets. Not sure why I invested so much money into every beer company known to man for a few years.

Yeah when you just look at Deboar's resume....I have a hard time betting against him.

The good news is, it's harder to win nowadays and more teams have caught up to Bama. Nick was as successful because he had a monopoly on talent and most of their rivals were down.

 

[Glitch]

Idea. Hubbs on the Volquest podcast mentioned that SEC teams may have to start the year with a SEC game once we go to 9 games. We should open every year with Vandy at the new Titans stadium.

No, Ndy needs to travel 3 hours east every other year to get that azz whooped. Why should the Vols have to travel to Nashville every year to kick them in the teeth?

No we should not. We should quit playing games in middle Tennessee and play in the cathedral of pigskin that is Neyland Stadium.

I had some heavy drinking years between ages 19-24. Cut back basically as soon as I met my now wife. Side effects of no longer being a barfly. Have decreased my consumption every year since then to the point that my wife and I are now near teetotalers. I'll still occasionally have a beer or two socially and a glass of wine with dinner a couple of times per month.

I used to drink beer all day on CFB Saturdays but cut that out about a decade ago. And ever since we had our first child in 2020, I've had one actual hangover. Trying to parent with a hangover was a unique form of hell I never want to experience again.

I've always been extremely sensitive to hangovers, though. Was never the type that could just bounce back the next morning like nothing happened.

This at the Publix in Hendersonville TN.

This f'n has to stop. Embarrassing and infuriating. Not a single one had a power T on it.

I get these low lives like to move up to our superior state, but we don't have to placate these degenerates with this f'n trash.

Did you ever think that all the UT ones may have already been sold
