Ground By The Pound

Word’s been Hurd is 227lbs. At one point, a sharp 235lbs was claimed.
What’s been proven, in practice at least, not on a court but field tested, is the Hurd thunders, gashes, and flashes.

Marlins are normally ocean-going, but one hanging out at the banks of the Tennessee river is said to be a 216lbs specimen now. Seen running up and down the riverbank, claiming authoritarian rule of the running lanes.

Perhaps it’s significant that we’re playing cattle first game of the season. Chili, hotdogs, and hamburgers being gameday staples, ground beef is a main ingredient. A Marlin running with a Hurd? A bovine and fish collaboration to wreck havoc on all other beasts they encounter? Stranger things have happened.

What can such a tandem be called? Smash and dash? Flash and splash? Hermes and Harm? Quick and Silver? Club and Spear? Perhaps it's more relevant they just be Ground by the Pound.

Serious question Woodsman, what's up with your alien avatars?! I enjoy your posts though :hi:

All I can say is that our Vols should be feared and loathed by our opponents for the damage we inflict on them. May the Orange Force be with us.

That would have been a good first post to open this thread. :)

But I do like the 'surf n turf' moniker.

This is a better label than the Cobb Webb backfield.

You need to get this on a t shirt, Surf & Turf,

Must have stayed at a holiday Express Inn last Night.

Love the Surf & Turf. Can't say it is better than what Cobb Webb was because the reference was based on the actual names of the players. Everybody knew right off what it was. If Surf & Turf is done, it needs to have the players' images associated with it. Otherwise folks will be just be asking, "Whuzzit?"

Catbone, about the avatar, I was asked about another one before--bit of a while back. I change them periodically. I will tell you the same thing as then.

I lived out west for a long time. Mostly Southwest in the Mojave and Sonoran desert regions. You often see things in the sky you probably don't see in most places. From meteors that take their time to transverse the night sky to, yep, I'm saying it, UFOs.

In my case, I've seen them of varying descriptive shapes and behaviors, even a few chased or seemingly escorted by jetfighters. Or helicopters squadrons that show shortly after the things split the scene. Interestingly, Native Americans on reservations consider these events as nothing unusual.

Never seen one on the ground but close to it, yes. Never met an alien. Never seen one. Skeptical of people who say they have. But can't deny things show up in the sky that are not conventional. Things that don't understand the laws of aeronautic motion as taught by physics instructors and scientists. So I became very interested in these things and my avatars reflect that interest. Now, on the other hand, some folks claim I'm an alien myself. I suspect some VN folks harbor this suspicion as well. Who am to destroy their assumptions? So when I seem otherworldly, maybe it is because I'm. . .I'm. . .I'm. . . .

I'm pretty sure you might be my favorite poster on this board. :) Most of your posts are Hunter S. Thompson-esque. I applaud you, sir!

Don't know if my style is the same, but he's sort of my kind of guy in terms of being nonconformist, a bit wild, somewhat apolitical, and borderline nuts. Thems the kind that makes things exciting or at least memorable.

I always felt that you deserved props to have the brass to have a selfie as your avatar. Confession is good for the soul you know.

Your message is breaking up, does not compute, or something wasteful.



Then I met you and realized we shared so much in common.

Good! Wouldn't have it any other way. Competition breeds excellence and motivates improvement. I hope Hill and Summerhill are progressing nicely as well.

In the last five years, you never saw one of Les Miles RBs exhausted. But opposing defenses often were.

I don't blame doubters or those who laugh at such claims. I used to make merciless fun of what I called UFO nuts. The moved from Tennessee to the Southwest and started seeing the darn things myself.

Hopefully, one doesn't swoop down and abduct our boys Lane and Hurd. That would suck so much I'd have to risk a visit with the Borg Queen and request she issue me a 7 of 9 ex-Borg as a crewmate to track down the thieves.

Good points and I agree. But I can see a movement happening on a Surf and Turf. You are right hard to beat Cobb Webb.
