Recruiting Football Talk VIII

LSU's defense is about to get worse....LB'er Harold Perkins is apparently out for the year with a knee injury.

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.

The pride of Guild, Tennessee.

I have two close friends going through surgeries today, one having his prostate removed due to cancer and the other suffered a heart attack last Thursday at work and undergoing a bypass in the next hour. All prayers appreciated

All of us older folks know all about living on the edge, we used to answer the phone without knowing who it was.

Having heard Robert Plant live multiple times, his voice is one of the best I have heard. Up there with Chris Cornell for me personally. Ive only seen a couple hundred bands live, but some big time ones in there and he always impressed.

A beautiful, little known song from one of Plant's solo records:

Spoiler: Actually...

Plant was an amazing vocalist, but Cheech's falsetto always reminds me of the '70s man-girl vocal stylings.

Do people that drive electric cars listen to AC/DC?

Or do they listen to something current?

Sam Bradford wouldn't have helped them.

Hahahahahahah

Still think Pili and Carter need a NIL deal with 7-11 before Pili leaves. Free Slurpee if they get a sack or something.

There is no way his agent is saying "not playing in huge games against top competition is the best way for you to get drafted high."

And I thought they weren't allowed to have agents still?

I have no clue what was said or if it’s even true. My guess is that if it’s true and Heard was maybe 80% able to play for Oklahoma, maybe his guy told him to just wait until Arkansas and be 100%. Total speculation on my part.

After thinking about it a little bit, the win against OU was similar to Georgia’s win over us in 2022.

Hit a couple chunk plays to score and then held onto the lead with great defense, field position, and clock management. They beat us worse than what the final score indicated.

We're so deep on defense that we don't have a single player with 20 tackles yet, but have 30 with at least 3 tackles

I think this may be the year that Pearce doesn’t live up to the preseason media hype just due to the sheer number of bodies we have and the constant rotation to keep them all fresh. Hopefully he can have himself a day vs Bama or UGA on the national stage.

 

[vol4eva]

Not convinced we’ll face a better defense than OU outside of Georgia. Bama possibly, but that game is in Neyland.

That's why my uncles always drove drunk. "Son," they'd say, "We LEARNED to drive while we were drunk!"

Arkansas will be another road night game.

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.

Treaty Oak Revival is legit. Give them a shot

They should have trolled and named Billy Napier as Sun Belt COTW.

Heck, I used to answer the phone only to find out the call was for the other family sharing the 'party line'.

 

[VOLED]

Someone on here shared a rumor that Heard was supposed to travel with the team but backed out late in the week. Something about his agent telling him to heal more before playing again. If AP is hinting something this could be true.

That's just what we need. Hope this isn't true.
