Recruiting Football Talk VII

Quickest way for new coach to win over the fan base would have been to punch John Adams in the face. Sorry not sorry.

She figuratively did.

*Kentucky fans when they hire Scott Drew*

Don't understand the fan base Scott Drew coached Baylor to a National Championship recently. What more does Kentucky want? Danny Hurley isn't going to Kentucky and the college game has bypassed Billy Donovan.

Anyone know how I can get Vols vs Vandy baseball tickets without paying $150 in service fees

Service entrance near the right field corner. Sometimes they leave it unlocked.

Are hardcore LV fans really this big of snowflakes?

They’re no different than “hardcore Vol football fans” - many were pretty upset about our football coach hire but after a bit, got behind him. The same will happen with the Lady Vol basketball fans. The only difference was there was no love lost for Pruitt. It hurt my heart that Kellie couldn’t bring us back - they love her because she’s a LVFL. Please give them time. We are all Vols, even if we have our favorite Vol team. (I’m an Everything Vols but the Lady Vols do have a special place in my heart. One day, over a beer, I’ll tell y’all why.)

Edit: as a previous poster said, there are a couple of folks in the LV Forum who remind me of bruin but most are just fans expressing frustrations out loud. I’ve been lurking over there and most are coming around to the “let’s just get behind her and give her a chance…”

I think Hurley system is the best while Oats is the next best system…. i guess that when Barnes retires that we will have a coach that runs something similar to Oats.

And then everybody will complain we don't play defense and you can't win championships without good defense.

Man, rename the BaseVols into the RocketVols because those dudes all launch nukes.

 

[SmokinBob]

This thread had a similar reaction when DW made his first hire here (myself included).

EXACTLY

 

[Jackcrevol]

Dont tell me what to do, moran

He’s doing a damn good job

He didn’t hire TV - he’s just making sure we don’t lose him!

 

[rikberry31]

Game(s) is the point. Dozens of them in combination, sure. Just rarely any single game. Hell, you go to play someone and get 3 attempts lol.

As opposed to football where you can't lose more than 1 (if even 1 with divisions) and basketball where 4 or 5 losses is pushing it and the finish to the reg season is thrilling for the SEC title where every game is crucial. We already have 5 losses and could still easily win the league...

Same as MLB. So many games, it's not must-watch tv. Though I do love watching them play. Vandy...Arky...LSU...I'll tune in for 1 or 2 of the 3 games. But not dedicating friday nights and saturdays like it's a saturday in the fall or winter in bb playing our rivals. It's still college baseball/softball, not a big 3.

They may play three game series but no two games are the same because the pitching changes every game. That's what makes it interesting. If your best pitching threw once a week in one game vs. each conference team schedule the best teams would have loss totals similar to football. In baseball you truly test the strength of the entire team. The World Series is a true test of who is the best team unlike March Madness where one player can change the outcome on any given night.

they say fire their AD, now. Like I been saying, it's not so easy hiring a good coach anymore. If they are in a power 5 good situation, why leave?

 

[rikberry31]

Don’t know. I wonder if Heupel kicks the tires here

Nope.

UT and UGA tied for 1st with 87 HRs

My Bat Govs are #3 with 74!
Lyle Miller-Green has 18 so far.

That would be awesome.

 

[barrylee]

Answer to the Masters question is Scottie with Xander also a possibility.

Wouldn't be upset if Rory wins but it seems he continually puts too much pressure on himself trying to get that last leg of a career Grand Slam..

 

[rikberry31]

Checked out Chiggerboars's tiktok, he's still on the "fire Barnes" bandwagon (alone). Some nice dance videos as well, 'ceptin the nekked one.

 

[peaygolf]

Truth.........

 

[screenthis]

Pitched. Or tried to, at least. Never could grasp the whole command thing

Hey. I pitched as well....during Tee ball.

 

[SmokinBob]

Made a long post...deleted because truth is hated.

I feel for peoples daughters that are growing up now....but if parents and players will not stand up and fight this garbage...I won't fight for them.

I will.

I have done a lot of things that were unhealthy but I have found that by far the most unhealthy thing anyone can ever do is have birthdays.

They are more healthy than the alternative.

Appreciate what you do here, but this commentary absolutely misses the point and beauty of this portion of scripture.

This isn’t remotely about my triumphs, it’s all about Christ’s.

We have indeed all gone astray, and that’s something far more than making a few mistakes and wandering. We’ve rebelled against a holy God and in response he sent his son to take our place and be treated as a traitor in our stead for those who believe.

Thank you for sharing the scripture though. So good to dwell on the fact that my iniquities have been laid on Christ and been paid for forever.

Also, fun fact. The Old Testament primarily uses three words when talking about sin:

Sin - missing the mark. There’s a standard set by God and we absolutely didn’t hit it.

Transgression - crossing the line. For all the things we shouldn’t have done that we did anyway.

But why? Not just because we slipped up, or forgot his commands. Iniquity refers to the twistedness in us that craves rebellion against God - to be our own authority. We not only fall into sin, but as part of our natural state we love it.

According to Isaiah 53, that was taken by Christ (along with all sin), and that just about brings me to tears. That Christ would receive the just reward for that kind of twistedness. Praise God!

Giving it a like isn’t good enough. I love this post
