Recruiting Football Talk VII

Seems like everyone is giving you different recommendations, which must mean everywhere equally sucks in NE TN or, more likely, you can’t go wrong with where you pick. If I were to move back home, it would be to Piney Flats or Blountville. More of a country feel, but situated right between JC and Bristol. 15-20 minutes either direction gets you just about anything you could need. I’d love to retire to Piney Flats, personally. Decent amount of land. Food City, pharmacy, a decent mix of fast food and sit downs in the town itself with plenty of nicer dining and drinking options a short drive away in the two bigger cities.

If you don't mind my asking, what s the app you are using?

Type Orange + AI Generator Bing. Here are 4 that came up.

That second one, with his hand in his pocket..... That's disturbing, and I feel I need to repeat THIS IS A FAMILY SITE. No pics of people pleasuring themselves to birds. Perv.

what the flock is your problem with people finding pleasure in bird watching

Yet ESPN didn't rank him in their top 100 players this year.

I grew up in an area called Colonial Heights. Nice enough but just typical suburbia. Personally, if I moved back, I'd like head towards Bristol.

January 24, 1536



King Henry VIII, the athletic King of England was violently unhorsed while competing in his favorite sport, jousting. In a matter of seconds, the trajectory of an entire kingdom—perhaps even the course of Western civilization—was altered.

It happened at Greenwich Palace, his favorite residence and the place where he and his daughter Elizabeth I was born. Henry was 44 years old at the time, and still in good physical shape. He was jousting against one of his courtiers, Sir Henry Norris, who was also a close friend of his second wife, Anne Boleyn. According to some accounts, Henry charged at Norris with great force, but missed his target and hit Norris's saddle instead. The impact caused Henry to lose his balance and fall off his horse. To make matters worse, his horse stumbled and landed on top of him, crushing him under its weight. Henry lay motionless on the ground, while his attendants rushed to his aid.

It is widely believed that the fall caused him to suffer a traumatic brain injury that affected his personality and behavior. Before the accident, Henry was a charismatic, generous and promising ruler who enjoyed the love and respect of his people. After the accident, he became a cruel, paranoid and vicious tyrant who executed many of his friends, enemies and wives.

Ultimately, Henry VIII's jousting accident is a fascinating example of how a single event can have far-reaching consequences for history.

Of course he lost the joust to knight Norris.

Heard that the Titans front office is a mess right now. Some like Ran, some don't. I'll let the other Titans fans with better access fill us in, but sounds great! Awesome franchise.

Where did you hear this? First I've heard of it.

We need 3-4 good ones in this class IMO. We lose a lot after this season. Big O, ONL, Elijah Simmons, and more.

Jhrevious Hall....I want this dude

1977 and Never lol. Poverty ass schools.

The RF needs an arts and crafts thread.

He got away with a couple more because Nico moved the pocket.

If you get a chance, I'd like to know the clock time.

But to your point, every RB misses blocks that require the QB to manage the pocket. He got Hooker leveled. That was a bad play and an even worse look. He got dominated on that miss vs Iowa. Unfortunately that will happen to most RBs too.

My point isn't to claim he doesn't need to improve. My point is that you are overstating how far off the "standard" he actually is now.

With UK behind us and we have H2H against Bama we just really need help with the Auburn problem.
I think there's a chance we end with 3-4 conference losses. It's hard to see Auburn have more than 3. That MSST L wad pretty big as it comes to winning the reg season.

You're overly critical of all things Barnes and for some reason have a blind spot for Pearl...

The only ranked SEC team they've played was Ole Miss at their house who we beat more soundly. Now if Auburn smokes Bama tonight then I will probably be a lot more worried about them losing 3 or less.

Their 5 opponents
at Arkansas (1-4 in SEC)
vs A&M (3-3 in SEC)
vs LSU (3-2 in SEC)
at Vandy (0-5 in SEC)
vs Ole Miss (2-3 in SEC)

Only thing Colonial Heights has going for it is cheap gas and a Pals.

I'm just curious about the various health rumors that surfaced. Is he sick? Is his wife sick? Or did he really just decide enough is enough? Some call it being nosy, but I prefer to think of it as overly curious.

Curious also

Curious also

I saw reports on twitter that there were no health issues. And we know everything is true on twitter.

I think he was lying to himself until that day he called his wife and told the players. He was built to do it at 100 and he woke up one day at 99 and realized. That is the report and I would buy it personally.

You don't say. It's really not changed too much other than the schools getting consolidated. No more CHMS or South, Sullivan Middle, North Middle or High, Central High.

If you've not been back in a while you would probably be the most surprised by downtown Kingsport. Lots of small shops and restaurants and such that are easily walkable between. Is way nicer down there than it's ever been in my life.

I do believe he just said eff it. Is that a sickness for a dude like Saban? Maybe. To me, he looks and talks now like my dad after his retirement, relaxed. Not worried about an illness.

I used to kinda like Mad Dog...........This is absurd................

 

[MarcoVol]

You know that's not true. Because you are in the player threads and you know that for the last several years a regular topic has been how in the world do those recruits think Saban will still be there their whole time.

I hope you aren't claiming that Bama recruits and their parents (and whatever agents they may) have been too stupid to ask Saban the most obvious question in the world.

No need for you to stan for Saban. Go off on Bama fans, for a change.

The other points in my post you rightly backed down from challenging. He built his name buying players from day 1 with impunity. Now that NIL is here, he can't compete. Saban ran away. And if you haven't noticed how gigantic a lie is Saban's self-serving propaganda claiming that "Parity" is being "destroyed by NIL," your powers of observation are in swift decline.

Having a different opinion on the topic doesn’t mean I’m stanning for Saban. It’d be boring if we all agreed on everything all the time

I love that place...it is our favorite Italian restaurant and about 2-3 times a year we go all the way over there just to eat. We've been eating there since before it was The Black Olive....I can't remember the Italian family name it used to be bavk then though.

Never heard of it but love the name.

I don't buy it...I think he waited until all the players were in and left.
