Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Orange_Crush]

I mean in his defense “35 years” he looks at his job as his own child he’s seen grow from the very lowest of lows to the highest of highs…we would be the same way if a coach with zero ties here came in and done away with the vol walk,Opening of the “T and rocky top being played through out the game..when it comes to messing with tradition it’s unsettling to most people who don’t like fixing things if they aren’t broken..just my take I can understand.

I get you. But then real life says that there are leaders who are given responsibilities that they will fail or succeed at, and then there are people paid to call games.

Are you concerned and ask to discuss over a cup of coffee? Or are you in an argumentative pissing match with the head coach?

I don't know exactly what happened, but if it's true that he was trying to set the head coach of the football team straight about his decisions, and especially in a quasi-public manner, then he brought it on himself.

Olympics should be best Amateur athletes from every country, the way it was meant to be .

I think we will see a return to a more amateur Olympics like the past as it becomes less popular. It is an extra burden for professionals to compete and they risk injury.

I agree with everything you said….it’s definitely a odd situation…very unlike a PA announcer rocking the boat like that…I guess he felt because he had been there so long putting his time in that he carried the big stick

eir way Woah NCAA is now pursuing rules that would allow them to penalize Donde and other university administrators. Crazy.

NCAA is flailing and desperately trying to intimidate their way back to power. It is like the last dying gasps of winter, there may be some bluster but everyone knows it's about over.

Things that bring a smile to my face as this week... so far.

1) The Bammers firing Eli Gold
2) The NCAA doubling down on their outrageous commie stupidity
3) The public seeing first hand with somebody else besides UT how Sankey's officials are so corrupt (UF/UA violent foul non-call in game followed by a suspension for one game for same since Bama won)

EDIT:
4) Grant Williams - lol at Boston and Dallas

Those folks are sure making mockeries of the heads-in-the-sand, nothing-to-see here posters.

Amateurs don’t really exist anymore. Not at that level.

There never have been truly amateur athletes in the Olympics. Amateur athletes are the guys playing softball in a beer league. When I say amateur I mean not high profile professional athlete. Olympic athletes have always been paid, the bills must be taken care of.
I do think it was more fun watching our "second tier" school boy and girl athletes compete against the eastern blocs best professional men and women.

Me and my NC State neighbor looking for tickets to Mayo Classic. Checked UT site, seems pricey still. Any suggestions on other options, or if it's better to wait and see if prices drop?

Start selling plasma and semen to earn a few extra bucks.

I'm not an avid poster, but I'm an avid follower. My rescue dog who I've had for 8 years passed and it was not a peaceful ordeal. I know everyone loves their dogs, but this dog was the heart and soul of our family. I'm devastated. Prayers and well wishes are welcome. Thanks guys. Go Vols.

Sorry. Prayers and condolences. Our four legged friends often are closer to us than the two legged ones.

 

[rikberry31]

But what about the OL and defense? Are they loaded or just have the few 5*s? Think they surprised a lot of teams last year or were really good?

Don't worry how good they are. They have the extra burden of having to live in Missouri and play for a commie school. With that extra weight they are doomed to being perpetual losers.

Wth

I could not be happier. Hope it continues.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It is amazing how great our defense was before the SECorrupt started letting EVERY team chokehold and wrestle our DL and LBs on the LOS.

People are blind or stupid....or both.

yikes….

We can agree there might be reasons it could happen, but also relish that yet another rug pull happened on Bama right?

Loving every minute of the unwinding.

RGW bringing the deets

Hate to see him go, he was perfect for Alabubba. His voice was almost as irritatingly obnoxious as the fanbase and they probably didn't understand a third of what he said.

 

[DD4ME]

yikes….

Hahahahaha suck it Bama we took back our song and stole your announcer too

 

[vol_in_ga]

I don’t remember GW shooting many 3s but seems like he’s doing more of that in the NBA now

Amateurs don’t really exist anymore. Not at that level.

This all started over the pissing contest between United States and Soviet Union.
1972 USA got ripped off in gold medal game in basketball.
Then USA boycotted 1980 Summer Olympics, then Soviet Union boycotted 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Then in 1988 USA lost Gold Medal game again to Soviets, with Sabonis and Marculonis leading the way.

People forget the USA squad had David Robinson and Mitch Richmond 2 future HOF players plus an abundance of future NBA players.

Then USA said screw that we're sending Bird, Magic, Micheal and all the damn stars in 1992.
The rest is History per say.

I’m baffled as to why some players would opt out. It’s easy $600 plus a free game, so in all: $660. Why say no to that?

Greed
