Ohhh…. So now the girls are skinny

 

[Orange_Crush]

Goodness what a head of hair. Havent seem muscle sinew since back in the day, and, i'm 1/78th cherokee.

We're all at least 1/78th CHerokee.

Are we there yet?

Everything is relative, or so I’ve often heard. From a roster talent perspective it’s how do you compare to the most talented roster in college football?

In 2020 we hit a high water mark for us, at least in recent years, as tracked by the 247 team talent composite published every year at the beginning of the season. 2020 was a better roster on paper than 2015 and 2016.

The thing about relativity is that everything is always changing. Our rosters in 2015 and 2016 ranked higher relative to everyone else but the composition of rosters above us continued to improve and we didn’t so they pulled away even more.

So we started rebuilding the roster in 2019 and 2020 and we were climbing on up then all hell broke loose and we fell into a pit.

It’s been a long hard slog from the depths of that 2021 sinkhole and we still have a long ways to climb. As it stands right now I think our 2024 roster talent as measured by the recruiting industry is likely to be the best roster, highest rated on paper, that we have had in maybe two decades.

I think we could be maybe a top 10-12 roster in 2024 but the really promising thing is that with the 2025 class we have the potential to maybe move into the 900 club. That would likely be a top 7 roster. As GMac said in one of his commitment interviews, we’ve got momentum.

Many thanks to the staff and players for making this happen and especially thanks to all the fans behind the Volunteer Club for helping to fuel that momentum. #GBO.

Well now I have to change my avatar. Oh Erik, could you possibly run your AI magic for me?

We're all at least 1/78th CHerokee.

Yes, i'm aware. Hence why I said 1/78th. Its my excuse for not wearing a beard.

Is Enki's real name Erik??

 

[Orange_Crush]

So, you have... ahem... apache beard?

 

[Jackcrevol]

You spelled Cossack wrong.

You mean, Cossack. As in Khazack?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Alabama is headed back to the days of Jay Barker at Quarterback, 7-5 is just around the corner..

Saban will witness it first hand as he watches from a seat at the College GameDay desk beside Rece Davis ..

Hope not. Barker was 35-2-1 as a starter with a NC.

 

[butchna]

It’s the same thing to me. And neither situation is a big deal

My apologies. I regard you as an intelligent poster, so I’m more argumentative with such a position coming from you.

Quick question before y'all get back to cartoons: Wife and I visiting Tri-Cities area in March looking for a possible place to land when it's just two of us again. Staying in Jonesborough. Any guidance on areas to check out would be appreciated. (Already know about Applebee's and Waffle House).

Will throw out a couple of sites and include a plug for Kingsport.

No Arion Carter on the list. Seems like an oversight. Otherwise seems spot on.

Looks real good when you line them up like this:

They have Beasley on there at will as a sophomore but it’s supposed to say Carter

I love this place, but after the Heard thread, I believe there’s quite a few “I want to talk to the manager” types around.

Isn't Aaron Beasley out of eligibility? Looking at it, they probably meant Arion Carter because they say Soph.

 

[screenthis]

OK, let me provide a little more context to the AI Enki...I'm tall, played basketball, and have German then English Heritage....

 

[Glitch]

My VN is glitching. Somebody slap @Glitch , plz.

I clear my bell multiple times per day. I haven't made anymore game threads since I nearly caused disaster. So much hate. Is it because your purple chest hair has fallen out leaving your nips exposed to the elements and @GiggerVol ?

it took the Heard thread to find that lol

My chest hair is lustrous and long. But my nipples are cold....

I'm not lactating so @GiggerVol doesn't scare me.
