re: Old Recruiting Thread: RIP insiders

It’s not crazy to think this team can get to 8-4 regular season… and a 9th with a bowl game.

Four OOC wins is very doable… the Mississippi schools at home plus Vandy…. Beat A&M again… I mean none of that is fantasyland dreaming.

Well we’ve done it 4 times in 5 tries…. And some of those teams that pulled it off weren’t exactly title contenders.

We are not beating A&M in college station.

while this is probably correct, TAMU is every bit as unpredictable as we are this year

they could go easily go 11-1 or 5-7 again

Yeah…this feels like a 7-5 team… can catch a break to get to 8… or some bad breaks and go 6-6.

Im pretty confident Fisher would get fired if he lost to Auburn as soon as clock strikes 00:00

I think they have more solid pieces and they wont have mailed it in by then unlike last year. I dont see it.

Ability to stop the run is probably what keeps us from having a great year.

What’s their classification? I know Nashville is huge nowadays but these kids are in super nice schools

They’re both in Div II AAA I believe. TN does it different… public (Div I) and private schools (Div II) play for separate titles. AAA is the highest private school classification… but these aren’t big schools by any means. High school enrollments are prob in the 500 range.

Deuce just got to town in late July, and Lipscomb’s competition has been stupid tough (IMG at home and Saraland down in Mobile)… so it makes sense his numbers are bad… he was something like 11-32 on Friday.

MacIntyre plays for Brentwood Academy… they’re also 0-2 playing good teams… AU used to get some kids from BA back in the day under tuberville. He’s like 6-5 and a really good high school bball player. Has a good arm but no mobility.

i'm even more confident that he wouldn't

if AU beats TAMU on 9/23, by 12/22 they would have to give him an early Christmas present in the form of a $21 million check - in other words, roughly the amount of Gustav's entire buyout, which just 3 years ago was the highest in NCAA history

then, on 4/20/24, another $7 million goes up in smoke - and every 4/20 for the next 7 years

tl;dr he's not getting fired if AU beats him this year

Fisher has been on the hot seat so losing to Auburn would make you confident he is safe?

---

you said he'd be fired the moment the clock hit 0:00 if AU beat him

they wouldn't can him for that loss

now, if he goes winless or even 1-7 in conference play he probably gets R-U-N-N-O-F-T but not til the end of the season

a loss to AU in September isn't gonna be enough to justify showing him the door
