Talking points: Ed Orgeron ups the ante in recruiting tactics

Tennessee football

  • B.J. Coleman visited UT-Chattanooga earlier this week but is still weighing his options before deciding where to transfer.
  • Arian Foster, Anthony Parker, and Ramon Foster have all made cfn.com's list of the top 30 players not drafted ($).
  • The Vols are hoping that the offensive line can mitigate any potential disadvantage at QB this season, like the line did in 2004 with three different QBs when they made both Gerald Riggs and Cedric Houston 1,000-yard rushers.
  • Why in the world would Ed Orgeron choose to play himself in the upcoming movie version of Michael Lewis's Blind Side? Why, recruiting, of course:
    The reason I did it, really, is it's an opportunity for recruiting. It's going to help us in recruiting to see one of our coaches in a movie that goes all over the nation. It's going to help. That's the big reason I did it.

    HT: Holly. Side note: I initially mis-typed "Blind Side" as "Bling Side," which is a different movie. Hmm. Who would that be about?

Does it matter?

There will probably be a non-qualifier among the group anyway, so problem solved.

It doesn’t necessarily matter – I’m just wondering if any one has any idea/ heard anything through the pipeline. Trust me, I’m extremely happy to hear Tyler is coming back.

If Philip Jurick was the casualty here

I don’t think it would be the most surprising thing in the world

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
