Recruiting Football Talk VII

[knoxvol52]

IDK, Twitter appears to have idiots in all fan bases in all sports that are just as bad.

There's a difference between fans and obsessed. Those individuals on Twitter are obsessed with every loss. Nitpicking and griping.

I love all sports college and Professional but I know what's important in life, it's not your favorite team losing .

It’s great that TV allows his players the freedom to call their plays. That throw and tag was next level good. If you watch Tears in right, he makes no move to back the throw up letting me know that was totally between STark / Burke.

That maybe something they want to work on…..have Tears in on it so he can back up the throw.

Everybody talk about the throw to 1st. But how about the athleticism of Burke on the run with the catch and the swipe. That was super impressive to me as well.

we better ask Lucy before we pull the trigger.

Somebody has got to be fired. We're doing pretty good if we're down to firing the announcer.

 

[knoxvol52]

Yes, that's why it's incumbent on us individually to teach and lead others, esp our own.

It's never going away. Racism will be here for eternity,although it isn't nearly as bad as it was in the 80's and 90's.

Tennessee just seems worse because we pay more attention to Tennessee stuff. There probably are more idiot UT fans than normal though, because we have more fans than normal.

You can tell a large portion of Tennessee's fanbase is football only and not used to baseball and even to some degree basketball. Losing your **** over every loss in baseball is a quick way to an early grave lol.

UT is 5,249-1 when leading after 6.

I feel kinda stupid knowing this and not betting the ML in games we're winning after 6.

Before I die I am going to eat a whole bag of unpopped popcorn. That should make the cremation a little more interesting.

When you have grandkids, are they going to call you Pop Pop?

If they are in a stew, you would never know.

Do you put people in your stew?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yep

If we're keeping score, I want to win

The problem is not how you act when we win...it's how IM you act when we lose...lol.

The trend is to let the kids pick the name. Pop pop becomes poop poop....or so I've heard.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This made me remember a question I've always meant to ask @Weezer

How in the hell are there fat/flabby kids in marching bands?

Granddaughter: grandad looks all swollen and stinks

Grandson: TWSS

So you're asking how I was in a marching band....?

Joking aside, it's marching band. Fat kids can have great calves and lungs. That's all it really takes.

When you have the opportunity to win another trophy and be the #1 overall seed you go try to win it and secure the seed (probably already locked up). Superstitious people will say its a curse or something. Screw that, win what's in front of you and hang a banner.

If we win the title only Bama, Miss State, LSU, and Florida will have more SEC tournament titles than the Vols iirc

Yeah...whether we are #1 seed or not will have absolutely effect on winning the CWS.

I do think there is something to the winning the SEC tourney and then losing early in the National tourney thing...BUT...I think that is because teams normally use up their arms to a pretty good degree in winning the SEC tourney...

The thing is though..Tony didn't do that...we won the dang thing using less than our best, and that is impressive as heck.

SLOVENIAN trash at that! Buddy at work (Chicago native and Bulls addict) called the Mavs this year. Said they have THAT blend. Doncic is what Iverson could have been with more will to distribute. He needs to be in the middle and demands the ball…deservedly. Assassin in Kobe mode without the athleticism. He’s a prime example of why I think Pete Maravich (with a better ticker) would have dominated the modern game. It’s fun to watch.

It's insane how having great hands can make up for a lack of athleticism.

I remember when Steve McMichael (Mongo) specifically called him out before singing “Take Me Out To TheBallgame”. Angel glared at him on camera. Mongo may have been ejected later.

I am so freaking sick of seeing our players get screwed...and what kills me is the idiots on here that defend it.

Haha I just noticed he said he is on the coach. Can’t believe y’all left that for me.

I've said it once I've said it a hundred times John Wilkerson needs to be doing our football games like yesterday.
