Bryce Brown (CLOSED)

Roy D. Mercer pales in comparison to the "Hey Benny" tapes. Now that's entertainment.

The guy who harasses telemarketers is gold. Since I used to be a telemarkter back in my H.S. days i find them amusing.

Ray Mercer/ Roy D Mercer are great.

Donny Baker is hilarious on the radio. Not so much in stand up.

Ray Mercer was a boxer.

He was Leroy Mercer when he called Thom McCann's shoe store, Bill Morgan for Eddie's Auto.

John Bean was a comedic genius.

We would but each post is 17 pages long.

17 pages and just two posts. The only posts with halftime entertainment scheduled.

For some reason Roy D Mercer reminds me of Ray Stevens.

this thread has many faces....its like a soap opera

At this point, with the info from VSPN, it almost feels like there's not much else to talk about. Most of us seem to have at least subconsciously accepted that we will see Brown in orange on Monday. Is there anybody left with serious doubts about Brown coming to UT? I'm talking about legitimate doubts based on actual information, not gut feelings.

Yall are spending way too much time, and typing way too much.

Yeah dont you have work or families to take up some of this time and energy you are spending here?

 

[98vol]

Has anyone tried anyyoutube bb video? I can not get any to play. Everyother video will play. I bet Wheaton has something to do with this!

 

[VolsFanInTX]

Has anyone seen any threads or message boards from any of the other schools he could possibly sign with? I just wonder if they are as confident as we seem to be about BB coming to their school?

In the interest of trying to shorten the post length as much as possible, I will shorten quotes and refer simply to the logical fallacy employed when one applies (which, lucky for us, is quite frequently with some posters here). That way, the offending party can simply read why they are wrong somewhere else and nobody else has to be burdened by the correction.

A lot of meaningless rhetoric from wheaton followed. The Oregon Troll apparently tried to complete a Wikipedia/Google based crash course on logic in one of the most desperate attempts to save face that I’ve seen on VN.

Judgmental language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually I did, but here is the difference: I will criticize outsiders before family any day. Remember, blood is thicker than water!

I understand that. But, isn't it also important to be just? We all look out for family first. But, if they engage someone else by their own initiative, can we reasonably expect the person they approached to not respond?

touching in on the whole Oregon-UT thing, i have to say that you can't reject wheaton's points out of hand. yes, tn has a much better tradition in football and a better history of putting players in the NFL, but most of these recruits are all about the right now.
...
i apologize for rambling on like this. i haven't slept in like 41 hours and i'm running on fumes here.

Excellent post. Even though there was little punctuation or paragraphs, it was by far easier to read than what some of the others have tried to argue. That is simply due to the existence of cohesive and valid arguments.

You make many great points and have put together the best case for UT that I've seen. My only contention is on USC being too big a problem for Oregon. Oregon just beat them in 2007 and Oregon State did last year (who UO beat). So, they are not so far ahead of things as to be an insurmountable obstacle. In fact, they make a pretty good spring board for any Pac-10 who can beat them to leap up in the rankings (since USC has been ranked so well).

Those facts only better illuminated what we all intrinsically knew, and that which you have too long successfully hidden from plain sight in your short time here - that Oregon is simply incomparable to Tennessee, either historically or in the "modern" era, when measured across almost any range of objective criteria.

It is laughable that you imply that you consider yourself to have dealt with relevant comparisons in "the modern era" when you're counting data as far back as 1975 as "modern."

I welcome you to refute any fact which I have previously supplied, or to supply whatever additional facts that you would like to have considered - preferably, other than the only two which you repeatedly presented, namely:

I have already refuted the logic you employed trying to argue that the facts you supplied demonstrate that UT is a better choice over Oregon for Brown.

You repeating those facts does not make your argument valid.

(outside of the two you previously used, and are mentioned above)

Why should I not refer to those points that you insist that I not bring up? You have yet to explain how the past accolades you have listed are more substantial factors for a recruit to consider than those two points. So, until you have some argument against them, those points stand.

Just heard that Greg Doyle on the radio (big florida homer)
"I hope Bryce Brown never gains a yard in college"

Stay Class Greg

I believe it is a done deal...all Orange!!! :rock:

 

[wheaton4prez]

There is one school that is far and away his leader and barring a huge turnaround (that won't happen), he will be signing with that school Monday at 1 CT.

That seems to be the prevailing belief. If he does not choose UT, the conniption is going to be seismic.

Dude...do you WORK? If you put the amount of time and thought into your job that you do to these posts...you must make a fortune! We are TIRED of you...it is OLD...please just go away.

 

[peaygolf89]

I hope he is a UT Vol!

As of today....maybe the most OVER-RATED player in college history. Come on.....430 pages on a guy who is from KANSAS. Never played a down of college football. I hope he comes here and wins 2 heisman trophies......but ...let's wait and see. If he is as good as Chuck Webb, he will not live up to the hype. Give the kid a break. If he was THAT good, he would have already signed!!!!!!!! SOMEWHERE!

Tiger Dookie sure as hell know they are not getting him, so instead they are talking about how bad BB's attitude is and how bad CEO and CLK are in the BB thread. This is just funny to me after how bad they wanted BB and CEO.

SEC fans are usually well ahead of the game, so that makes sense. They would have been doing that on an Oregon board weeks ago, if they had one with any activity and even a few knowledgable posters.

Seems as if they only have one semi-knowledgable poster...and he spends all his time...and I do mean ALL his time here!

Alot of it is jealousy, and maybe some shock as well. Because nobody in the SEC expected us to be this big of a player for the #1 recruit in the nation this soon.

jeez peay, what else do we have to talk about

 

[utmba93]

I'm guessing that's because there's no one to talk to on his board. But, who knows why he lives here?

He lived on a tOSU board last year (recruiting Pryor). This could be his job, for all we know.

 

[Tenacious D]

Lol, this argument is so pointless. There is one school that is far and away his leader and barring a huge turnaround (that won't happen), he will be signing with that school Monday at 1 CT. All of these nifty little "facts" you guys are throwing at each other aren't going to sway him. He's done his own research.

I agree. The argument is too time-consuming for the short amount of time that remains until we have an "official" answer from the only person who matters - Bryce.

Do you think that most VN posters will be happy with his decision?

Any notable others that you believe will not be happy with it?

Any guess at a percentage of accuracy in making your prediction?

Has anyone else (that you've read on this board) come close to accurately predicting what you may believe to occur (and are reserving from publicly stating) - whether intentionally or unintentionally - and if so, whom? In other words, do you believe that others have figured this out, too?

[ThatVolGuy]

I believe that, if polled, more young players would choose the story of winning the first NC game for a team than winning one with a team that has already done so.

I have a feeling you're slightly biased, being that your team falls under the first category. I'm not surprised you'd think that. Many would disagree.

But, you have a point. I shouldn't call it a fact unless I can or intend to prove it.

Yup.
