Recruiting Football Talk VII

Classless to you maybe. But that’s you judging his lifestyle. Judgy mcjudgersen

Who doesn’t consider that classless? Or has the definition of that word changed also?

There is a new diet that is all the rage. Strangely, it seems only to work for people named Joe. It is called the Dolly Parton diet and it definitely makes Joe lean, Joe lean, Joe lean....

Dude he had Kevin Durant and DJ Augustine…

So all coaches with 2 great players win a championship?

Thankful we have a great coach that brings in great players that Vol fans can be proud to cheer for until he decides he wants to retire. Then hopefully we can get a coach as great as him.

I don't watch a lot of NFL (Titans, Falcons) but I think the NFL officials are much better and efficient that NCAA officials.

If NFL crews are not rigging outcomes they are better than SEC officials. If they were merely incompetent the bad calls would have a different distribution.

And we suffered manifest pilfering by two ACC crews in '21, to boot. It's hard out there.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Most of your entire 3rd paragraph is regarding the previous GM, who was fired for his poor decisions. New GM drafted an OL first round and took levis in 2nd. He deserves a chance.

Vrabel is best coach titans have ever had since moving to Tennessee and it’s not really remotely close. Done way more with less (which goes back to the previous GM and his poor drafts, free agencies, and contract issues)

Respect you defending your team.

We are about to get to the bottom of it.............

For me, it's much less a discussion per Titans, and more a general malaise toward the entire NFL.

And the thing that concerns me greatly is that I'm developing the exact same thing toward NCAAF.

I’m afraid of this also. Used to love watching the NFL but now can’t stand it. But nothing compared to watching college football all day long with everything planned around Tennessee. The playoffs ruined the fun with the same teams being guaranteed of being in because of talent and not being allowed to lose. So I am down to just watching Tennessee. Hoping the expanded playoff will bring some of the fun back. If not, I will just keep up with our three great coaches.

They are also full-time employees as well. Not the part-time **** NCAA pulls

While NFL officials probably put in more time, most are still part time. I think the NFL made a small percentage full time to have them available. But, many are still currently employed elsewhere in the offseason and mid-week.

Alright, which one of y’all was it that wanted the most badass wedding location where all of your guests could knife fight all night?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Heck of a compliment there!

GW!

@Glitch I see you still haven't started the game thread yet..tick tock...let's go....

Ah yes. 2023. Where being a narcissist or hedonist isn't a character flaw, it's a "lifestyle". Lol.

The book is much more intense. Scared the crap out of me as a teenager. I would read right before going to bed. I would finish for the evening, turn off the light…then turn the light back on to read until I got to a non scary point…read all night because I couldn’t sleep with the imagery.

The first King book I ever read. While I loved the movie...yeah, the book was way more scary and intense and disturbing.

 

[SugarCC]

You are correct.

Few of King's novels fully translated to screen. But Misery was pretty good. Less of a horror and more of a psychological dread.

Both attempts at The Stand were pitiful. The novel was amazing if you can stick with it.

Clive Barker was similar. Didn't translate to screen.

Oddly, I think Neil Gaiman's stuff translates excellently to the screen. Probably because of his background in graphic novels...?

The Stand is my favorite King novel. Masterpiece.

 

[SweetasSoda]

It’s a signal, guys.

Whose bright idea was it to give Levis the cry baby signal? Do they not know about his famous cry baby GIF?

This is my wife….

That’s me any time in Hobby Lobby. I usually hear the announcement about closing in 10 minutes.

 

[JCVol00]

I don’t think we see Rucker. I think he may be one of the guys the staff encourages to look elsewhere this offseason. Just speculation on my behalf but the kids been here three years and never plays (that I notice, anyways)

The few times rucker has been in he got turned into toast quickly. Ill be glad to see him and a few other db’s move on, more particularly at STAR

 

[drvenner]

You keep saying this like it’s supposed to hurt my feelings?

No. I'm done
Appreciate the conversation. Go Vols!!

 

[knoxvol52]

Tennessee 48-14......Go Vols....Wright has another big rushing day....

 

[drvenner]

I see it as a lot of teams that we claim to be obnoxious...are to an extent, but mostly they are just assholes (Fl as an example). We as a fanbase are completely obnoxious, but in a friendlier sort of way (for the most part).

We as a fanbase also warned everyone how obnoxious we would be once we started winning again. I'd say we have held up our end of the bargain.

I happen to think a lot of us on here are assholes

 

[SweetasSoda]

They are also full-time employees as well. Not the part-time **** NCAA pulls

Surely with the tv money they can afford to hire refs full time now.

 

[drvenner]

@Glitch I see you still haven't started the game thread yet..tick tock...let's go....

You have been warned

 

[BaldBiker]

I happen to think a lot of us on here are assholes

Shhhhhhh.

Just go with it.
