Waiting until after the CWS to announce his deal with Texas. That is very polite. Lucy will be very very excited.

Technically speaking, every corn snake is a rat snake, but not every rat is a corn. The "corn" snake we know of is the red ratsnake (Pantherophis guttatus). If this were a juvenile corn it would have some slight orange airbrushed down it's back and the pattern from the neck to the head would be an oval with a keyhole. The grey ratsnake makes the "Y" pattern instead.

Do you work with reptiles at the zoo or something?

gazers lack curiosity. they will never accept Jesse Perry until his redshirt JR campaign and all-SEC designation, and by then, it's too late to redeem themselves. dealing in prophecy as purely long term investment, so they can "told ya so" down the road. lazy, really. I do believe the average joe has the ability to evaluate talent. You generally know a good singer, dancer, acting performance; why also can't you develop the eye for the ability of an athlete on the gridiron? Hudl allows us to see what the coaches are seeing. Why not try to get a sense of why they believe in these recruits? We are able to describe what works with a polished athlete (Cedric Tillman is able to go up and get the tough catch in traffic, Jalin Hyatt has generational separation speed, etc). Why not for recruits? The star system, due to its natural constraints, relies on a certain amount of failure or "misses" to keep the wheels going, and it is in this failure where curious recruitniks can develop a keen eye for talent. Learn about the game of football and the systems within it, and always watch the film.

There is nothing perfect in this system, and in that way, freedom to make mistakes and be bold in your analysis. I always appreciate a good argument for why a player will be good for a system or not, if the analysis is rooted in film study and a wider measurement, beyond "5 stars duh" or "3 stars duh", even if I disagree on the analysis. Following only star ranking is a lazy and boring choice, and as a forum dedicated to following the recruiting period of the game, it should be frowned upon the moment it arrives. That's for the football forum. This is for analysis of recruits and the excitement that their abilities can bring for our system of ball. Sure it's fun getting 5 stars, and empirical evidence makes it a smart bet to wager on those teams winning games, but blindly following it without analysis of why the staff may prefer a 3* over a 4* is silly without first developing a sense for what it is you are talking about.

my humble, if poorly worded, opinion

Finely worded in a style I’d gladly emulate.

Vitello is just so awesome. He gives everyone hope. Give him 3 million a year and add more luxury boxes for revenue

 

[VolNash17]

Tennessee has been the best baseball program since 2021 (4 seasons) most wins, 3/4 trips to CWS. 3 seasons of 50+ wins. 2 regular season conference championships and 2 conference tournament championships. Vitello setting the standard for other coaches at UT.

Just throwing poop at the wall but I'm guessing $2.6 million per year to top Corbin at top of Food Chain in Salaries.

How can you not love the upturned snout of a hognose?

I actually like snakes. Fascinating efficient creatures. I've seen corn, rat and garter snakes right around my house and enjoy them. But I've had bad luck with the rat snakes, I've killed two. One was about 6' long it has killed and was eating a young chicken. The other was smaller, about 4' and it has eaten all the eggs out of a hens clutch and had asphyxiated the mother hen.

I have a rule with all wild animals on my farm, there is a place for you but if you take life from me you have to go.

Also see all kinds of efts and salamanders in the spring. Snapping turtles, box turtles, broad head skinks and fence lizards and the little blue tailed racers.

I've seen rattlesnakes but they stay at the back of my property along the rocky creek bank.

Continued prayers......... Have they mentioned what they believe her long term prognosis to be?
