Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Cosmo Kramer]

So great seeing that Bama Hat Retired

 

[DobermanVol]

Kodi Burns fired by the Saints.

That didn't last long. Curious where he lands.

So great seeing that Bama Hat Retired

You know what would really be great?...for some day, somebody with real guts, to absolutely deconstruct the last 17 years and show the world what really happened...to irrevocably tarnish and burn that stupid crown of straw.

It will never happen.

 

[Vols4us]

He's certainly no hero, but you've deified him to the point that you believe he supernaturally orchestrated the entire thing. He just took advantage of the system the SEC put in place for him.

And on the officiating, Saban has literally zero impact on that. Zero. You need a face for your anger so badly that you've fixated on Saban as this mastermind of villainy instead of placing the blame on the SEC office where it should be.

Sure, the person who goes along with cheating because the system enables him to do so is deserving of some scorn, but nowhere near as much as those running the system. Saban is the beneficiary, not the conductor.

Somebody does not know or pretends not to know how collusion works.

Why do you thing Bammers are still pizzed with Phil over Albert Means? Who was the SEC Commissioner?

What happened to UT's elite status when Roy Kramer left the SEC commissioner role combined with Dickey and Joe Johnson retiring?

Officiating - follow the crew assignments. Drill down on what their day jobs are, where they are located, where they went to school, etc. Who assigns them?

It's not about scorning anybody. It's about following regs, rules and laws that a HC and Commissioner are contractually required to not only follow, but to administer over their area of authority without preference.

Bending rules to allow preferential treatment is obvious collusion. Both Sankey and Saban benefitted in a huge way.

And the SEC office deserves the bulk of the blame for the corruption. They clearly allowed their pet program to play by different rules.

Would if I could. I’m staying with my dad because my mom is at UT hospital recovering from pneumonia. Dad has cancer and needs assistance here. We’re essentially trapped.

Five to six more inches tonight?! This really is the blizzard of 93 all over again but this time it's in slow motion.

Man this is set up too easy.

 

[85SugarVol]

Familiar with Alive but never seen it.

I love that movie...no matter what a few dummies here said, it is an inspiring movie.

It’s a really good movie.

Not sure why there is such angst over actors speaking English lol.

The actors playing “Germans” in Casablanca were speaking English. Trash film!

 

[UTProf]

Man this is set up too easy.

Only because your expectations are way too low.

There will be quality players in the spring portal. It's getting harder to keep guys happy when they see what others are getting and think they can get more elsewhere.

Vols players or other teams or both?

Well, that's just a bunch of happy folks listening to their new football coach. There's a very good chance that this is not gonna end well for the Bama faithful.

He was the DC at IU when TN beat them in the bowl game.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Speaking of snow day movies, did anyone else catch Killers of the Flower Moon yet? I don't know that I'd say it is the -best- movie of 2023, but it was very well done I thought...never felt like it was dragging despite it being 3+ hours. Some great performances and I thought the cinematography was beautiful, they didn't get too crazy with edits or transitions or camera movements, just let the beautiful location shine.

If you have Apple TV already it's on there at no additional cost to stream.

Welcome to the mud. It's going to hurt losing all those silver spoons.

And by "nuts" the Bammaw means Bama having to follow the NCAA rules.

Referring to us or other teams?
