Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Orange_Crush]

I agree she is over saturated and yet we keep talking and talking and talking about her. The best way for us to quit hearing about her is to quit talking and talking and talking about her.

Agreed. Can we give @screenthis a timeout for this one?

The other aspect of this is that the publicity could be a good thing in that encourages her fans to donate.

I can respect the donation considering this. She does currently have local ties to the situation and her donation publicity could drive more donations.

I'm more put off when they donate to some random incident that they have virtually no ties to then publicize it like crazy.

Apparently withdrew due to illness, not injury.

Okay, which one of you is in Winchester Walmart? A man came out of a door and about ran into me. He said, “Oh, sorry, Sweet.”

You live in Winchester, TN?

Apparently withdrew due to illness, not injury.

He definitely had a sudden onset case of the shanks.

FYI, the Flobaseball YouTube channel is live streaming a game right now.. for free. No idea if they will for the Vols tonight, but Baylor/Nebraska is on there now

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Ok, fine. But in the case of Bieber (back then), I disliked 'the Beebs' as well as some of his crazy fans.

I never liked the Biebler either.

Tiger just left the course on #7 with what appears to be a WD from back problems.

Apparently it’s due to illness.

Speaking of coaching vacancies......

I'm pretty sure I saw John Gruden and Al Wilson eating lunch together at the Steamboat on Central Ave today. They split a large sandwich (the Steamboat) and each had a bowl of broccoli . Al Wilson had extra exciter sauce on his half. I'm not positive but it sounded like they were discussing the open RB and LB coaching positions at UT. I couldn't believe my eyes or ears. I know we've been down this road before but this time really feels different.

TIFWIW

#soon

GO VOLS

I know a guy who knows a realtor's secretary that said that somebody is looking at buy a property in/around the Knoxville area. TIFWIW...

They should free stream the first weekend or two, to get people interested.

Hey, the shanks is a real illness.

Hey, the shanks is a real illness.

Similar to shingles?

Sally says: "Shanks can be a form of performance anxiety. One strategy is to normalize the situation and remind yourself that even professionals have experienced it."

Did he have another shank today? Or just the one yesterday?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

sorry, had to. . .

lol! I don’t live there anymore but I grew up in that area.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Idk, I just saw the one posted earlier. I thought it was from today.

Did you first write that out with a Shar Pei?

I remember when he first started getting really popular. They always talked about his shoe size. I guess, as soon as he turned pro, the shoe company made a big deal of it. . . Reebok? . . anyway, footlocker, champs, etc had showroom models of his giant shoe.

I remember that and another guy. May have been Shawn Bradley. Both had shoe sizes in the 20s.

Nope. 18th hole yesterday. He said his back just locked up on him and didn’t turn well on that shot. He actually was swinging really well during this tournament, but he wasn’t scoring well because his short game (chipping and pitching around the greens and putting) were really rough. If he tightens up his short game, which is usually a strength for him, he could at least contend. I’ve been surprised how good his ball striking has been.

Indeed, Sally!

Just the one yesterday.

She seems like a decent person….. doesn’t change the fact that it annoys me that i can’t avoid her likenI use to be too.

Easy.

Be like 95% of VN and "never watch the NFL"...supposably.

 

[Devo182]

That's nice. I hate to sound cynical but it's also .01% of her wealth and a tax write off. It'd be like me handing you a quarter.

Is it a charity already? Then ok..she's donating 60k...

Otherwise just a gift, a part of estate tax exemption.

The utilitarian end here is...the family ends up with $100k to help with funeral expenses, the childrens' future, etc.

A cynic would declare there's no such thing as a good act, only selfish ones. Which makes ethics moot - ends mean nothing apparently. Hope I'm never that much a nihilist.
