Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Jackcrevol]

Yet our O recruits this cycle are rated higher than our D recruits?

We have 6 WR.

The uga player’s helmet came off, he had to have grabbed something lol

Ah yes because a players helmet has NEVER came off before without a face mask happening

 

[Wickman]

Another good one

 

[MarcoVol]

We have 6 WR.

And we have 3 committed. How many high quality WRs do you think we can carry before the backups hit the portal?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Man...ATT is such a freaking headache.

Service works fine, good prices....but lord help you if you need to call them to deal with an order issue.

They kept emailing/texting about "free upgrades" etc. so I finally went online to do the upgrade. Pretty simple, phone 1 upgrade to new phone A, phone 2 upgrade to new phone B. One order, one amount paid at the time of the order being made. Well phone A has shipped and is on the way...day after that I get some text about a problem with my payment method (even though the whole payment was taken out already) some BS about I need to reauthorize it or something? It appears phone B is on backorder or something...

It plays into the whole media narrative that this offense doesn't prepare players for the NFL, which is then used by opposing coaches to negative recruit against us. Some of the media is trying to paint Nico as a sympathetic figure. They'd be better off painting him as a victim of his dad, not Tennessee. This started with his dad shopping him to other programs. They ignore the fact it backfired, and he ended up taking less money, not because he wanted away from this offense, but because no one else wanted him.

To me, the narrative from the article makes Nico look even dumber. Angling for more money and then ending up losing money is a miscalculation but it's one people make sometimes.

Complaining about the offense and then transferring from the #15 ranked offense to the #117 is far worse.

The NFL narrative is completely unwarranted as well. Lock, Milton, and Hooker were 4 star-ish recruits and have been on rosters as NFL backups. Hooker and Milton had struggled in college before Heupel got a hold of them. That's not a bad track record.

When was the last time we played at Johnson City? Those games are always at Neyland. Even ETSU wouldn't want to play that as a home game. Get real.

This isn't complicated. We get seven at home. If you add one, you gotta remove one.

 

[Jackcrevol]

And we have 3 committed. How many high quality WRs do you think we can carry before the backups hit the portal?

Interesting question. I would think 10-12, in that range. Which is same # Turds and Tigers have. I'm sorry I dont buy that they'll transfer, NIL isnt there, or any variable. All excuses.

Every other school has sane set of obstacles as TN. Yes WR star power and talent has increased, but it was also not good last year. And hasn't been great since tillman and hyatt.

The three committed are big time. With missing in Spring-hole we now need 4-5. Get Tk, and get transfer in Winter-hole.

Chips fall where they fall.

In cases like this, yes it is a facemask penalty because he grabbed the helmet and twisted:

All I know is if a Tennessee player got his helmet pulled like that and there WASNT a flag called, we would’ve raised hell

Well, drop ETSU add Syalose as a home game and find an good non-con road game. You're right it ain't that complicated. Home games vs Directional U suck, particularly when they are late in the season. You would feel differently if you didn't watch all the games at the house and had to pay for those games.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Where were those hands the last two years?

 

[rikberry31]

P O V E R T Y
P R O G R A M

The only reason Misery is in the SEC is distract the people who want Candy out. They are wingman to Vandy.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Piggybacking off of this, I want everyone who is wondering why Jesse Perry (a lowly 3-star) is starting at guard this fall to watch a few minutes of this video. This kid straight up wants to murder his opponent every single play. Gotta love it.
Jesse Perry Hudl

Kid definitely likes to hit people..

 

[rikberry31]

Gameday is never going to be the same. I’ve stopped watching all but the picks ever since they brought on Saban. Without Corso, I don’t think I can stomach watching the picks.

The only thing intriguing about Gameday is the inevitable fist fight between Saban and Pat McAfee.

This doesn’t show the play. You have to watch the replay. The helmet comes off way after the hands are placed close to the helmet. The UGA player twists all the way around. Even Kirk Herbstreit was trying to find it.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Just to clear it up...
We play 12 total games each year in the regular season, 7 of those 12 are always at Neyland.

This year (and previous)
8 SEC games
4 non-conference

SEC has always been even 4 home, 4 away....that leaves 3 games to play at home for the non conference and then we've played neutral instead of home & home. It's why Syracuse is being played in Atlanta.
Moving forward
9 SEC games
3 non-conference

Still only going to get 7 home games, but rather than "rebalancing" the SEC...it would make better sense to do 4 home/4 away and 1 neutral each season. Then those 3 non-conference (and usually cupcakes) can just be regular home games.

Personally I really believe that Nico's biggest flaw is that he was lazy. If he would have put in the work he would have been ok. I recognize a lazy athlete a mile away.
California for my my money is an entire state of unmotivated, lazy dope smokers, I'm seeing it more and more every day.

I think you may be right on the money

 

[Jack Burton]

The thing is, the old man in the logo is Uncle Herschel of Uncle Herschel's Favorite Breakfast. He was Dan Evins' (founder of Cracker Barrell) real uncle.

He represents the patriarchy and must be scrubbed!

 

[rikberry31]

Oh lord. People really do have too much time on their hands. I'll just be eating there good food no matter the sign.

Uh, it is simple marketing if you don't appeal to your target market and are out of touch, this is what happens. When these idiots start pandering to people outside their target market to score virtue points they get hammered. Bud Light says hey.

 

[Jackcrevol]

entitled is a different form of lazy. lazy can manifest is various forms. i don't think you can look at osu game and think 'lazy', he played hard.

 

[Bigorangefaninga]

Oh lord. People really do have too much time on their hands. I'll just be eating there good food no matter the sign.

Let me know when they start putting out good food. Went there about a month ago for the first time in years as some kids we were babysitting wanted to try it. Instead of a rebrand the idiots should have put that wasted money into better quality food and actually some portions. 2 of the kids got adult meals and I had to feed them afterwards the portions are so small. I love chicken n dumplings but I have gotten better from a Dinty Moore can. Spend millions to rebrand when your food and portions suck makes a lot of sense.

 

[Batman1948]

There should be a 10-12 team conference cap.

I believe it's heading for 20 team conferences

 

[Ten_Titans]

Joel Klatt is the worst

Sometimes things just are what the "narrative" says they are...

Nico told his side of the story. "Something something not enough talent". It didn't get any play because it didn't make any sense.

Here’s what I got this week brother, for now at least
View attachment 767372

Nice! I’m with you on all - I’m surprised that Buffalo number pushed out to 19 yesterday. I’ll probably tap it again if I see that again.

I added NCST early last week at -11.5, can’t believe that one has moved so much in the last couple of days.
