Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I'd like to offer another perspective. I grew up poor. My mom did her very best but we struggled financially for most of my childhood. She was still a great mom and I love her even more now than I did when she was living. I digress. She taught me right from wrong. Very clearly. I decided to start stealing to get some stuff I wanted. Sometimes from her but often from stores. I got caught when I was 12. Shoplifting at Kroger. I was given a break. Kroger was cracking down at the time. The manager knew my mom and gave me a break. I had to listen to him tell my mom over the phone. I have not stolen since. Maybe someone who stole from you needed a similar wakeup call. Idk. I don't like thieves, either and I have been stolen from in the Army and later when I returned home. It's a terrible thing to do. I have rambled long here and I'm not sure what my point is. Just wanted to make you aware that good people still do make bad decisions. I hope those who stole from you got a wakeup call like I did

All I know is I hate thieves..but as long as there is breath there is hope...you are not a normal example of a thief, most thieves are evil sociopaths that don't have a conscience, and don't give a damn who they hurt.

You were a kid...a real kid...I don't think whoever stole my bikes was a kid...I knew every kid within miles of my house, and several of my friends also had Mongooses stolen in the same period.

My guess is scumbag thieves going around spotting them and pawning them off.

As long as the chiefs win. I'm good.

Gonna get beat

Bills/Lions

[PlanetVolunteer]

Y’all AL is complaining about tampering.

Hey at least he understands that fanbases don't like it when good players transfer

I'm in a super bowl pool we all put $100 in a pot at the beginning of the season...10-11 of us drew teams. I drew the chiefs last year.

And I have the chiefs again this year.

 

[drvenner]

We jumped to #4 in KenPom.

Top-20 in both offense and defense.

Again, the most balanced team Barnes has had thus far.

And if Knecht is a road warrior and is off at home, I'll take that all day. We've been waiting for a road go-to guy.

Yeah, but how did we do with real stats?

Peyton was Ole Miss royalty from Arch Manning, and he chose Tennessee to be different. Why would you think he'd want anything different than he wanted himself?

Research why he didn't go there. He wanted to. Ole Miss had a lot of things going on all time time. This has been discussed MANY times here.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

To be fair, Ole Miss got slapped hard by the NCAA for a series of violations and were on probation. I'm pretty sure that had a lot to do with Peyton, not looking at Ole Miss.

Thank you for posting this. It's been talked about so many times.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Are you under the impression a father and son share the same brain?

Yea. That's totally what I said.

Fair enough. Having something stolen is a terrible feeling. The worst part is you know they were on your property, violating your space. Have a good one. Go Vols!!

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Do we know why Munoz didn’t go to USC? Or why Hardy’s son wasn’t interested in UT? Or why Dallas Hayden went to Ohio State? Or why John David Phillips’ kid is now playing basketball at UT?

There are a multitude of factors that come into play when a kid chooses a school. “My dad played football there” might be one. Might not. But it’s bizarre to assume, without knowing more, that Penn State is the overwhelming favorite.

Maybe they are. It’s just strange to assume it.

It's strange to assume it? Are you serious? LOL
And exactly zero of those other dudes are on the same planet as Manning or Arrington and you know it. You dudes would argue if someone said the sky was blue or grass is green.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Some of you dudes just argue for the sake of arguing. It's so exhausting. Goodness gracious.

 

[LaagerVol]

I know he plays at The Peay…..but this guy is an amazing young man and an inspiration to many…

The dunk and then the hustle on defense….

Pretty sure I saw Gretel cheering him on in the stands.

Yep...happened to me a couple of years ago...saved for months to buy this really nice Samsung TV...and some scumbags busted in my back door while we were gone on a cruise and stole it...I only had it 5 months.

I'm a lower middle class working guy...I don't have much of anything nice, and if I get anything nice I have to work for it...that TV was nice and some piece of lazy scumbag took it from me...and busted up my whole door in the process.

I really can't express how much I hate thieves....especially thieves that steal from poor working people.

 

[Big Sun]

Apparently Oats is a Soul Asylum fan.

This may be my only chance to to share my favorite soul asylum song...

 

[TheRain]

Yeah...tell the people working for you to not lie.

Or steal, or drink, or fight... and yet some dummy will.

[SugarCC]

WTH was that about?

A team led by a man who took up for, and played, a kid who helped kill a woman. I'd expect them to act no other way.

Meteor for that game also..

 

[SweetasSoda]

Here's to the poster last week that said "bUt WhaT If kNeChT hAs aN oFF nIgHt?!"

Well...it looks like we may still score 90...

Someone really said that?

 

[knoxvol52]

Watching the Australian Open Tennis Tournament, just thinking how much I miss the John McEnroe outburst on the court and towards the umpire..

Good times watching John break those rackets ..

[WebbCobb]

What a game… and when you need a catch the most… you’re looking to #15… straight dawg.

Love that one of my favourite Vols ever now plays on my favourite NFL team

I know they are all that...I mean I don't understand the context of what was going on at that particular moment...I take it Alabama was deciding to use the wrong end of the floor for a huddle or something to make some kind of stupid point like "We don't care if this is your house, we gonna do what we want"..?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If CMac doesn’t win the MVP then it will be a travesty.

 

[Weezer]

ALL VOL!

fyp - I'd never refer to a VFL as a "Dawg".
