Seeing Sheuder 1st overall about made me choke on my lunch from laughin

Baseball people: what is it that Elander/Vitello doing that has made us so good at hitting and hitting homers? Is it the coaching? Is it just letting the guys play loose and swing? Or have we just stacked the roster with natural-born excellent hitters?

It's a mixture of everything really. Great coaching and great recruiting.

Here's a question... For 2024 only... If you had to choose between:

Mathews and Staley

Or

Webb and Nimrod

Who we taking? Honestly kind of surprised both those guys are still here. Even though I respect it.

Matthews & Staley if I’m playing in the SEC

 

[mrMet]

I would pay you modelos to do it for you. I love that stuff.

Creating where the flower bed will be is the miserable part. I’m not having fun

 

[UTgrad2015]

Thought I’d try and watch the Sports Source today and I will never make that mistake again

I hear you. I've redone all the landscaping and made a garden without the use of power tools or heavy equipment.

Tricky. What about a different combo?

I'm definitely taking Matthews.

Webb has a ton of potential he just hasn't produced at a high level yet. Nimrod might be the least physically gifted but he's got the most production. In limited action be made quite a few plays and Milton liked targeting him towards the end of the season. Staley will be a great player but idk if I'm taking him over Webb or Nimrod just yet.

Wish me luck today. Having to plant flowers, put weed barrier, mulch and rock in the front yard today. Gonna need a few modelos to survive

1,775,000 yard pins. Worst part is accounting for how much rock.

Water, till, plant. Weed fabric, beer. Rock, beer.

Next?

Broken oak handled mattocks, and post hole digger. Thank you God for fiberglass.

Limestone and clay Edit: Use some sense, go to rental place for tilller and or auger.

I don't forget the days of being in TN. We have a nice Sandy Loam here. No rocks. No heavy clays. Can dig to China.

But my lawn was Bermudagrass and I didn't want to chop that up and spread it so I sprayed the garden area about 4 consecutive times and no-tilled it. Just broke up a little spot to plant the seeds. No weeds, no erosion, highly productive garden.

Watch them give Sanders the top pick

sandy loam, out side of being my dream gal what's that like?

getting rhodies, azalea, and camelia to take in the cereal bowl known as clay. Trial and error.

When we landscaped I literally had to excavate, and replace with peat moss/pine needles/or soil mix.

Alkaline soil sucks.

You could just about build a nice sand castle with it. Once the surface is broken you can dig potatoes out by hand. It's the texture people aim for when filling raised beds and pots.

Ive considered adding sand to my raised beds. So its a good idea?

Chiefs win because they draft Vols.

I love watching these celebrations. Happy for all of them!!

if you throw sand on your clay you'll cause more problems. If you've added topsoil to your raised beds just be sure to mix it thoroughly.

+100 odds for any player a year out is disgustingly bad value.

An EDGE rusher would have to be a generational talent to go first overall. Pearce is for sure a top 10 pick at this point but no way he goes #1. 14 out of the last 20 have been QBs.

4 of the other 6 were DE’s. I guess it just depends on if the team has a young QB.

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

It was hell

Sitting in the stands that day as he just let the clock run out on the plus side of the field or whatever it was. There was plenty of time too. Whole stadium booing.

Hated that guy man.

Worst football game I ever attended.

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

I think we stood on their business this weekend.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

GO VOLS

 

[Devo182]

Im more concerned (or not) about the future of our roster talent. We need to see better results in recruiting.

We're seemingly on the verge of landing 2 top-10 players. Not sure when the last time (ever) we have done that.

5* wr last year. QBs as follows: 5*, 4*, 5*, potentially another 5* in 2026.

I'd say...we're doing ok Offensive players have shown no reluctancy
