Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[jave36]

Someone on VN suggested Sturgill Simpson to me back in the winter. I'm glad they did. I've bought 5 of his CDs this year and really enjoyed them.

You've bought what?

Pretty cool story bro moment at the MW concert last night that the old heads might enjoy: got to talking with a guy while working the concert and turns out it was Eddie Brown who played safety for the Vols back in the early 70’s. Really nice guy and it was fun to talk with him.

I can barely get to Silver level. Could stay more, just dont enjoy it. Miss my kids, and dog too much.

Edit: I meant wife, yes. Not dog.

I've got a ton of points with Marriott. Got those when I traveled for work (mostly). Now that it's on my dime, harder to stay at Marriott with higher prices. I choose the lower priced hotel.

Is it just me or does it still 'hurt' to pay over $100 for a hotel?

Chris Stapleton would fit the bill. Plenty of other up and coming western/mountain youths but they don't get the radio play. I enjoy Western AF and Radio WV channels on youtube. Some real talent coming through there. Zac Bryan, Lucas Nelson, Dylan Gossett, Jake Kohn, Dean Johnson, Colby Acuff, Charlie Crockett... good current music is out there you just have to look outside of the radio

Charley Crockett is significantly better in every way than Morgan Wallen and 95% of this board has probably never heard his name. He's also not an establishment guy though.

I dont think so. I believe people have moved on to buying DN's

Pop music has never been about talent. Literally ever. In fact, there's probably an inverse correlation to talent and being a pop star. Once you get too talented, you're no longer a candidate to be an ultra famous pop music star.

I'm thrilled with anything under 150 even outside a downtown areas. Under $200 for downtown is a steal.

When country music gets too 'twangy', I'm not a fan. Wallen fits that for me.

Crockett is the man. Definitely in my current top 3-5.

Do you know the exact nature of Heard’s injury? Is it a high ankle sprain?

No, his ankle quit smoking years ago.

My daughter-in-law is from Terrytown, which is right next door to Sleepy Hollow. Very cool tradition indeed.

Man they make a $10 Bluetooth receiver that goes in the cigarette lighter charger and broadcasts on any FM band you want so you can play stuff from your phone on older cars. Stop buying CDs!

Robot or human?

Loser of the sec championship game will be the worst spot. An extra game of wear and tear and no bye week.

Yes!
I was telling a friend of mine this morning finishing 3rd might be better??
You get a rest weekend then host a first round playoff game.
If you finish 3rd, you are probably looking at a number 5 seed, if you lose the SEC championship game is it your second or third lost? How far do you fall? Do you go from a home to a road payoff game?
Just some bye week thoughts.
Before the MJ>LJ melt down

Okie eventually fahrs so many coaches that no one is left to take over as interim. But, he says, all coaches have like 150 analysts now, so maybe one of them can do it.

"Brent [Venables] needs to eat a lot of sh-t for this." He explains:

Tennessee fans were like, "We're gonna beat you 42 to 10." I'm like,"You may win this football game, but you're not dropping 42 points on us." But I want clarify something. [Okie] people are all hyping up our defense in the second half.

That's not it. Josh Heupel had NO respect for our offense last night! .... Josh Heupel effed around all second half! Because he knew our offense couldn't get to 20 points.

At least -- as opposed to the flaccid trolls here -- Okie Boy sees our strategic second-half maneuvering as Heupel's ultimate and intolerable humiliation of Oklahoma football.The unkindest cut of all.

For the connoisseur of pathos and self delusion, bruh -- bludgeoned into a corner of living hell by his viewing experience and Heupel's devastating snub -- finally strikes out with the knife wet noodle stab that Vols fans need to be very afraid. Okies are so desperate now they will take Josh Heupel from us as their only hope!

Bruh has learned nothing.

@clt_tiger is right. The heavily freighted line at 1:38, spoken in ignorance, is the highlight.
