[Rockytop10nessee]

Best news of the off season.

Imagine not losing LaMarcus Coker. Smh.

 

[ShelbourneVol]

We did that one...but we did the whole scenic byway loop..

That’s a cool one too. Thanks for sharing. You drove near where my wife and I spend our summers, Ridgway. There are a lot of back country, Rubicon jeep type, day trips for the adventurous in the Ouray, Silverton, Telluride area which roughly encompasses your highlighted area. Next week we’re taking the Durango to Silverton, narrow gauge train which is from the early mining period.

I expect a big jump. Amick hit 13 HRs his last year at Clemson before becoming a Vol

You know that sort of improvement has to be a huge selling point in the portal. . . really, in general.

Vintella definitely has the hottest program in the nation in pretty much every respect.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Every day here in England, I have gotten at least one Go Vols!

Traveling with Aggies and Sooners and TCU Horned Frogs.
Nothing for them.

Of course it might just be that I am decked out in Orange daily

@DarthVol1

You think Skenes represents the Pirates in All Star game?

Decent chance. However, I would lean towards Brian Reynolds as the Pirates rep. My guess is another pitcher is picked from another team that opts out (injury or such) and Skenes gets picked as a replacement. Lot of guys seem to make it that way every year.

Yep….we teach hitting much better than almost any other program.

Tennessee on SEC today ..

Already watched South Carolina football game
Took a nap through Volleyball
Now watching SEC Championship in baseball.

I am recording everything. Watching this and the last episode of Season 4 of Stranger Things will pretty much take care of the weekend. Wife not going to like it much, but, I feel a really aching back starting to develop.

 

[drvenner]

The one dude does have a point about defense. He needs to up his game to stay on the floor in the NBA. Otherwise, he'll be a 3 and D specialist.

Lordamercy.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Barnes should have input on his replacement, especially for what he has done for this basketball program.

Disagree. Love what Rick has done but DW was hired to make the decisions.

10000% agree. Let DW do his job.

vs

...and how does DW make his decisions? He interviews a lot of coaches to get their input about up-and-coming coaches, where the game is trending, etc. Input and decision are not synonyms.

Too early on a long weekend to be needlessly disagreeable.

This
You had generals on both side fighting 18th/19th century tactics while totally ignoring the invention of the machine gun-planes-tanks-posion gas. Just throw waves of infantry at a dug in fortified positions

The artillery.

Whatever keeps you from posting more "jokes" is a blessing.

If it was just that, you'd be getting some "Go Blackpool" or "Go Newcastle United" mixed in. Nah. Everybody loves a winner (except the vanquished).

 

[JCVol00]

I’m not sure the guy in the middle even knows who these coaches are that are discussed during the segment

For real, he said that OU may not be happy with Venebales, and Hyams immediately had this “dude wtf are you talking about” face

 

[JCVol00]

I could see Rick Barnes retiring in a few years.

If he makes another deep run this year he probably will call it quits

That was made for snack time, mom added banana slices on top.

Dang, y'all I'm making me miss my grandparents with all this karo syrup talk. I don't even know where to find that now but I've raised my kids on peanut butter and honey sandwiches and my wife likes to add nasty ass fluff to make it a fluffernutter with honey.

 

[BruisedOrange]

No...if anything it was the meatgrinder of WW1 that caused that. Anybody that says the French are wusses in that war are freaking ignorant morons...the French men fought like lions in that war despite their leadership throwing their lives away by the millions with their idiotic pre-war strategy and tactical doctrine, and then failing to adjust to the obvious truths quick enough once the fight did get started.

So did any of the European military schools take lessons from our Civil War? Or was trench warfare the lesson learned?

I don't remember ever reading that any European countries sent observers to the States during the Civil War. Is that true? I guess the powers in Europe were mostly busy fighting colonial uprisings.

Karo syrup is in any grocery store, often in the baking section.

I could too...but...he seems more energized than ever to me...he doesn't act or feel like a guy coaching out the string..it is weird to see a guy his age ramping up instead of down.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Making fun of the French for falsely being a bunch of surrendering goobers is always funny but making fun of the on Independance Day is especially goofy lol.

You know how few people know how instrumental the French were to our independence?...it is sickening that people are so stupid to me.

There is no USA without the French.

What os really ironic is that it was Louis that provided the help to a bunch of progressive anti-royalist liberal revolutionaries...lol.

Of course he was just trying to hurt the English...

European countries did send observers. Justus Scheibert and International Observation of the Civil War.

Nope...I agree with Marco.

 

[knoxvol52]

Nope...I agree with Marco.

I'm shocked!!!

I know...I checked out a outfit in Silverton that rents OHVs when we stayed in the campground there..I'm trying to get all my kids to commit to a week doing that someday. I've watched about a million vids on those roads through the San Juans...really excited about doing that.

I love Ridgeway...I bet that is an awesome place to summer.

THANKS for this link! Very interesting! I'll be reading this during lunch today, for sure.

Much better than the responsible tasks I had planned for the day.
