Recruiting Football Talk VII

Wampler's is good sausage. Made on a farm in Tennessee. . .

The real question is. . .

Skoal fine cut wintergreen or Copenhagen original snuff?

Skoal Long Cut Wintergreen….just looked up the price and was shocked. Glad I gave it up….





















even though I miss is occasionally.

I had to make my own Mexican pizza at the new Taco Bell in Maryville last week!!!

i had to use their restroom, BEFORE double decker taco

Patterson is the greater athlete for sure..but..he has always had a well documented problem with understanding where to be, where to go and what to do without the ball...and that is the difference maker to me.

If you have to dumb down a playbook for him...that is really bad for many obvious reasons.

That's kind of my point. We would not have to dumb down the playbook in this system as receivers not in the play are typically taking that play off and if they are in the play then they are either blocking, reading what the defensive back does or running a pretty simple route.

Sausage. Hot or mild? Has to be hot IMO.

Watched a show on NF about animated sausages. Was as dumb as it sounded.

Why? Why a show about cursing sausages?

Got disappointing news earlier this week at my wife's check up. She got a call back from MD Anderson today. Hopefully they have a different treatment to try.

Diligence and prayer is what we have.

Prayers for you and your wife brother. My mother was just diagnosed with adreno carcenoma in her left lung. Although early indications are great with the PET scan and meetings with a surgeon and radiologist. Turns out she won't need the radiologist as of today. I hope you have better news coming.

Dude became a decent NFL RB at age 30.

I quit dipping 12 years ago and I think about it all the time. I loved Red Seal fine cut wintergreen. I'll look over the cashier's shoulder and check the prices of tobacco sometimes. It's doubled in price, since I quit.

I don't smoke but Marlboros are $8 a pack! Unbelievable

I don't get the obsession with Missouri and Eli Drinkwitz. He finally had a winning season in his fourth year at Mizzou, his only winning season so far, and people are crowning him some top-half SEC coach and a program on the rise, while Tennessee and Heupel get no mention. Recency bias writ large.

I quit smoking when Marlboro was $4.75 a pack .

yup.

They have classes for ACT test for a reason. They don't test anything but the ability to take a test

Many universities are moving away or greatly decreasing the importance of the ACT/SAT for admission. GPA a much better predictor of academic success.

interesting. makes sense. curriculums were catered specific to each test. there was no in between.

I don't see how. GPA varies widely from school-to-school and program-to-program. ACT/SAT are standardized. Grade inflation is endemic in education, meanwhile.

Universities are transitioning away from the ACT/SAT because they need warm bodies to admit thanks to the coming enrollment cliff and the broader threats to higher education stability.

I about flipped out when I went on the chili-cheese burrito run a while back. You dont order from a cashier, you have to use a self check-out screen and the prices are outrageous. Nearly $5 for a soft taco supreme.

Not to get political or into a “living wage” debate, but paying burger flippers $12-15 per hour was always going to come back to the customer. I got 3 combo meals from McDonald’s a week or so ago…$34.

Pipe tobacco is cheap. $7 dollars for a 3oz bag of it. Lasts weeks.

But then you're smoking a pipe. This aint the Shire.

I was smoking American Spirits at $6 when I quit. So glad to have that monkey off my back. Best thing I ever did besides getting married and having a kid.

I used to love to go to the Gatlinburlier in the Mountain Mall and buy a couple of bags.

Copenhagen > Skoal Straight > Grizzly > Pouches

then no more.

 

[TheRain]

That could have been handled a little differently.

 

[Jackcrevol]

That is anti climactic

Me too. I can still imagine what that store smells like: tobacco and leather. Ahhhh...
