'14 TN DE/TE Derek Barnett (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[RikidyBones]

I'm right on this one, you're wrong. Moving on now. FYI, I feel dumber from reading your post.

Good point by a hypocrite. +1 :hi:

 

[PassedOutAwake]

rumor is, that dog bone was actually a living dog the last time Vandy was relevant

 

[KBVol]

Barnett showed up with Jay Robertson, Jackson Harris and a group of others. Immediately he was given the Wild dog bone to carry around.

Ummm... excuse me, excuse me, but .... what the &$@!#%£+$@ is the wild dog bone??

 

[bluegrasser]

Your sarcasm, I see it :question:

You know, as I was done typing, I thought I needed to add a no sarcasm disclaimer.
I was dead serious.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Lambert and Barnett in the same week? Butch don't play.

Butch means business for sure.:yes:

"Quick note...

I know it was posted that Barnett didn't make it to Vandy today and he didn't make it earlier in the day as scheduled, but he is there now and got there late this evening, later than originally scheduled. Just wanted to clear up some stuff."

After my investigation, I now realize the "wild dog bone" is given to visiting recruits to protect themselves from things "going bad" as they walk around candy's campus. In the event of trouble, it can be used as a weapon. TIFWIW.

Looks like some PVC pipe and fittings that somebody spray painted while intoxicated.

Instead of ripping of their shirts a la Kiffin's Wild Boys style, do Franklin & staff rip off their pants?

 

[KBVol]

Looks like a giant d!1do. Jmo

Makes sense given he's on Vaginabilt's campus...

 

[ShowMeVol]

Never. Gets. Old.

It's satire and common in our society. I thought the joke was ok. Didn't make me actually laugh out loud but it wasn't a bad effort. Offensive jokes aren't meant to expose actual humor in bad situations. They are meant as an effort to coupe with the terrible truth. I would venture that nobody here finds the actual event funny and never hope such an act to anyone.

Offensive jokes are an effort to dehumanize an inhumane occurrence. (If it truly is a joke). I didn't say the joke so don't get all Dr. Phil on me by telling me to reevaluate crap. All offensive jokes have victims and its pretty pathetic to rip a guy because that particular victim isn't funny to you. :no:

The most mature defensive mechanism is humor. Can't argue with that Scotty.

Wild...dog..bone..?

 

[UTVOLS107]

You SUREyou want to declare UPDATE WAR on Ron? :tease2:

haha no I'm good. Every once in a while I'll post something note worthy if it hasn't been posted already, but with Ron's dedication to it there's not much of a need for me to.

 

[UTVOLS107]

Also, even though it looks like Barnett did in fact make it to Vandy today, I'll feel much better about our chances if he does indeed get here next weekend with Rashaan. Next weekend should be a fun event.

 

[UTMVol76]

I may be alone on this, but I think this is the perfect weekend for Derek to be there, with negative news currently out there. Bet they are in full blown spin mode, probably making all they're BS really obvious. Be best for him to be in Ktown asap, to experience a better atmosphere.

 

[UTMark]

It also sounds like he DIDN'T go with his mom. That would be a huge bonus.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

It's sounds like he was just looking for something to do on a Saturday night instead of sit at home. Dude is a Vol.

 

[Escape Goat]

Butch means business for sure.:yes:

Bidness*

I disagree. If mom is the hold up and he wants to be a vol he wouldn't have gone without her IMO.

 

[Escape Goat]

I disagree. If mom is the hold up and he wants to be a vol he wouldn't have gone without her IMO.

Or, she has given in to him being a Vol

 

[BruinVol]

Or, she has given in to him being a Vol

Very possible but much less likely with him going by himself tonight. Tells me he still has some interest in vandy even more so with him going without his mom

 

[UTMark]

I disagree. If mom is the hold up and he wants to be a vol he wouldn't have gone without her IMO.

Mom has wanted him to go to Vandy. She didn't go and help Jimmy sell Vandy. I take it as she's letting him make his own decision. By all accounts, that means he's a Vol.
