Recruiting Forum: Football Talk XVI

[UTJoe]

I'm glad we have the playoff, but I have to agree with the Professor a little too.

To be honest, until somebody said something about the NC game on here today, I had forgotten about it.

I think there's a couple of reasons for that:
1. We don't have any particular affection for either team.
and
2. Butch is killing it with recruiting.

You probably hit the nail right on the head with both of those.

The only true casualty of the playoffs so far is the SEC Championship game. It felt utterly meaningless this year. Bama had nothing to gain by playing it. It's almost like the SEC tournament in basketball now.

That's true, but I'm not so sure it will be every year, particularly once Tennessee and Florida are up and rolling again. It sucked this year because Mizzou was such a doormat. But I could see it having serious playoff implications in the future.

Butch's method of travel while on a recruiting trip this morning in Nashville area.

Butch was riding down West End in Nashville on the Giant Tauntaun letting them know that middle Tennessee belonged to him and UT.

This and the winter fail one are 6.1 5 *.

Winter fail..great reference for us GoT nerds...Sherpa blix took a minute..then I chuckled...good job Sam.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Whats the deal with this guy other than he looks like Butch with a beard?

Gotta love newbies...when I actually joined VN..I had been a lurker for years, so I already knew the inside jokes.

I think we averaged negative yards on that play. And I'm not trying to be funny, I really think we did.

Several of us threw up all over ourselves after the 10th one against Mizzou. Should they use the play - of course. If the D is not loaded to stop it. It spreads the D and if the d-backs use the wrong angle you can break it for good yardage. But when they do it so often and exclude simple slants, seams and hitches you get what they got - nada, nothing, zippo. The one big play to Croom was thrown wrong by Dobbs and they lucked up.

Tough to pick. I'll go with Lavon Pearson. He's got a cool story

But falling flat? We've gotten two HUGE
Commits in the last few days

Marquez.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Lots to choose from. :dance2:

 

[Wickman]

Vols have offered '16 AL DE Marlon Davidson

 

[TriCitiesVol]

Defensively, JRM.

Offensively, Hurd.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Regarding the 3 QB's.

I won't sweat one drop, if one transfers out eventually. The best will play, and you can only get one on the field at a time

Dobbs.

Marquez.

Looking forward to seeing him healthy again. He was such a beast as a freshman. I feel like the offense is going to look astoundingly good at times with a healthy North, Smith, Pig, Pearson, Malone, Wolf, Hurd, Kamara, and Dobbs.

Good grief.
