Likely unpopular opinion, but I don’t care.

I never liked Bobby Knight and never had respect for his coaching style and inflated ego. Just not for one for the drill sergeant style of beating and cussing players into submission. By contrast, Josh Heupel, Rick Barnes, and Tony Vitello are precisely the types of coaches who not only pull the most out of their players, but earn respect in the right way.

Going back further, Pat Summitt was a tougher coach, but those players always knew she loved them and wanted the best for them, and they loved and respected her because of it.

This is an example of one thing i've talked about. Someone has marked this tweet as "sensitive," so the image has disappeared without a second click. It happens when recruits tweet our logo all the time.

You should talk to Elon. Isn't he supposed to be about eliminating the bias?

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Post more often. You’re missed more than you know. I know you have crap, but it does help and besides they’re unruly and I can’t keep them in line. I hope all is well with you.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Congrats you made the big time!

Lol. It looks bad but I am, in fact, NOT Message Board Geniuses...

 

[Christian Lowe]

There’s no chance we actually have an alt uniform this week.

At least I really hope we don’t

They were scared to death of her too!

Watching the replay of the Tennessee Lenior-Rhyne game... Games like this make you wish it wasn't an exhibition, just for the stats alone.

Didn't get to catch this one. It up on the web?

Ideally, we'll rack up enough points in the first quarter against UConn that the backups can play the rest of the game.

You think we are gonna score 5-6 TDs in the first quarter???

I had absolutely ZERO respect for Bobby Knight. He was a piece of crap human being.

I feel like @Orange. probably runs that page

Don't tell dude. But look, "they" gave us a ringing endorsement!

If he drops by.

Good find! I suspected as much. @drylo a few days ago had video documentation of the clock operator incorrectly running time off the clock to make a shot at the endzone un-do-able.

I think ESPN+ has it?

But I watched it here.

Wrong link. Old game. They may have taken it down. I don't see it in my history.

I think 3 is a possibility and wouldn't rule out 4 as an outlier. If it's 21 -0 at the end of the first quarter, I think that's good enough to start putting in backups. Maybe I'm underestimating UConn, but they don't appear to be very good. JMO.

 

[Orange.]

I think we're overreacting here. Little boys often wait by the door for their Daddy.

 

[Weezer]

If he drops by.

Is he not on X? I don't social media other than VN.

I meant drop by my house.

It's not exactly "bias," more like manipulation. What happens, apparently, is a large organized group or more likely someone with a BOT reports the tweet enough times that some automatic function replaces the image with a warning. This greatly reduces what the ad people call "impressions" and almost certainly greatly lowers the number of clicks the tweet gets (the number of readers). This kind of op debuted in cases involving political tweets iirc, but seems to have been adopted for use in college football. It happens pretty often to tweets by recruits who include our power T, uniforms, or other images. It typically happens in cases where the competition for the recruit is high.

For the tweet I used as an example (pretty much at random), the image was visible for an hour or two, as many here would have seen, then it was covered by the inapplicable "sensitive" warning. The image is not sensitive. That is clear. It is still accessible if you click the warning in the right place. But if one is unfamiliar with this op, one might rightly expect something one doesn't wish and pass it by. Or, one is just never by "grabbed" by the visual, since it was covered, and passes the tweet by, unmotivated.

Apparently, someone wants to hide (as best as they can): the video evidence of KY's behavior at our tunnel before the game; or the lack of official concern about or intervention in a situation that endangered player safety; or the lack of repercussions for KY's behavior (technically a penalty); or possibly the fact that the intimidation tactic ended up as a humiliating sad-sack failure for KY.

Do you have an iPhone? That little starred info button in your camera roll can identify.

I was today years old when I learned this!!! It’s a good day!

Say a no no word and your tweet will be silenced. Elon isn’t as free speech minded as he makes himself out to be

I just posted a still frame the other day, but here’s the GIF of Squirrel being tackled and sliding a full two yards on the ground all while the clock is still at :10.
