I know I am very late to the party here, just getting back on after a week of meetings.

I am part of the older crowd on here (+50)--- where are you guys going/how are you generating these AI pics? Pretty crazy... Are you going to Bing and asking it to generate a pic of your Avi from volnation.com? I see some asking "sally"? Sorry I am sure you all have already gone through this, but interested to see what would happen if I did it with a "bama" part on my member name... Thanks
@Enki_Amenra explains it well in the Avi thread that was put in The Pub, but it's just going to the Bing chatbot and asking it to draw you a picture. It doesn't necessarily have to be based on your VN name. You can tell "Sally" what you want her to draw and incorporate into the picture.
 
He is funny in a low key monotone kind of way. Cooper was doing the pod once a week with him during the season which was an interesting listen. There are worse Vols podcasts.

By "act like they know how to run a program better" I assume you mean "criticize the program". That's their job. And it's a job someone should have. It doesn't mean they are right. And the thing is... Most of the articles have been right over the course of the last decade because our AD only recently stopped being completely incompetent. The cycle I've seen here over three different firings is:

1. Local media criticizes the football program.
2. VN buries them in hate.
3. Criticism is proven correct. Everyone fired.
4. VN accepts the original criticism as true, still hates the local media.

Doesn't mean you accept everything they say at face value. I'll use Blake Toppmeyer as an example. His article on our dogwater football staff refusing to take a Covid pay cut. Great article. Then a year later turns around and says UT is anti-patriotic for canceling the Army game. Dumb article. Not that hard. But media holding the AD accountable is important.

You believe local media’s job to be to criticize the coaching staff? Guess that’s where we differ. I believe their job is to discuss the program, build relationships, help players tell their stories, bring in experts on topics instead of themselves being critical of personnel decisions, scheme decisions, etc.

You can have discussion without telling everyone what “should be happening” based on nothing more than opinion.

Now if we’re going 5-7 every year, prob gonna remove the guardrails a little more nahmean.

So we just have different views on their jobs.
 
Any team that is going to upset UGA at this point will have to do so with lesser talent. Zero discussion or debate. That may soon be true of teams like Texas too. We have to have a schematic advantage, or we will be 10-2 making perennial excuses for the gaps. IMO the gap is closed by QB play. We all seem to believe we have one.
Kirby's teams have generally been outstanding defense with decent offense. Bowers was definitely a weapon for them that helped that offense go. It'll be interesting to see if someone can come close to what he did for that offense now that he'll be moving on to the NFL. We can argue that his defense succeeds because they're allowed to hold, which they openly bragged was their strategy, but at the end of the day, it was a strategy that worked.
 
Ummm... no

I own a carpentry business building high end residential wine cellars

Lots of wealthy people south of the border

Don't hate the playa, hate the game

And for what it is worth, I built a cellar for a certain former TN Vol and Denver Broncos super bowl winning quarterback that I cannot mention his name per the terms of the contract

Shady enough for you?
I've always wanted a home with secret underground tunnels.
 
It was just a play on words man. Cellars are dark, shady...

No need to flex your success for people on the internet, even if they were legitimately criticizing you and not just trying to make a silly pun and a comment about Tijuana's reputation.

But especially not if they were just making a silly comment about Tijuana's reputation and a lame pun.
I bet in his past life, @Ulysees E. McGill visited the Tijuana Donkey Show at least once.

This is what sally says it looks like to be sally creating an image:

Without going back through 25 pages, can someone update me on current Tennessee recruiting news? Supposedly, our new 5 star qb recruit is helping us with some other 5 stars. Who are they, and what are our chances? Anything else going on in recruiting?

Honestly, I used to spend a lot of time in the Recruiting forum, but it just seems to be so hard to find up-to-date information that I spend most of my time in the Basketball Forum now.
You do realize that there is a thread for pretty much every player we are recruiting, don't you?
 
I loved my pro 2’s but I fell asleep with them in one night and the black round plastic piece that’s behind the rubber ear piece came off and apparently Apple couldn’t fix them..they also stated that’s the first case they had ever seen like that…usually people lose one ear piece completely or lose the rubber piece which is no big deal but still…I listen to music a lot and I’d rather have over the ear headphones because I don’t have to worry about them falling out…when they get here I’ll give you some feed back on them.
I’ve never had the issue you’re referring to but I did used to have issues with them falling out while running, working out, etc. I mainly use my pros for work calls and there was no issue there but I eventually bought these for $15 for the times I did need to worry about it and they were game changing. Whenever I was going to work out or run I’d just slip these on them and they’d be snug and wouldn’t move at all. Very comfortable too.

How much would it cost to make a "Whine Cellar" in my crawl space where I can escape to when the whining gets to intense for my wife to deal with? Mine or our kids whining to be specific.
Haha, @Glitch

I would be proud to build you a whine cellar

Have build gun rooms and wine cellars but never a 'whine cellar.' Give me your specs; would be a welcome addition to my portfolio

I am thinking white marble floor, PMS 151 paint on everything, fine Corinthian leather, padded walls

Did Kirby win immediately with CMR’s players? Was there not an immediate increase in buying even better players that got GA sick amounts of talent to match AL? He does know how to organize a roster and game plan. But he’s always had superior amounts of talent at AL and GA.
And he will until someone upsets him with lesser overall talent.
