Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[UTgrad2015]

Out of the blue (no pun intended) my daughter asked if we could go to a Tennessee game at Neyland! She goes to TCU.

TCU has a bye weekend on 11/2.

So she and I are going to be there for the Kentucky game! I’m ecstatic. We’ve already got plane tickets, hotel rooms, rental car and football tickets! Pricey but worth it!

Awesome. I pray my now 2-year old daughter wants to go to football games

 

[Jackcrevol]

The only airport I ever get delayed in is Laguardia, Memphis, LAX, Ronald Reagan, and ATL

they suck in that regard.

 

[DD4ME]

How many people are able to pay 8K for season tickets? Who is going to be going to those games? At that rate, I'll mostly be sitting on my couch rooting on my beloved vols.

Dude. He might have several tix with a donation or club level. The point is there is a wait list from the cheapest to the most expensive.

Likely came up I26 to I81. This I40 shut down and I26 is now underwater in NC and TN in multiple spots. Basically can't get into Western NC right now.

We were just in Bryson City, NC over the weekend to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad with my FIL. Craziness.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I believe it was his Wednesday presser then.

we went to the NCSU game, well, because we live in Charlotte. and we're going to the MSU game...but i just saw a picture of I40 east in the mountains....east bound lanes are washed out....i doubt they'll have that fixed by then....

prayers up for everyone dealing with flooding

scary news coming out of east tn

I blame it on Florida. . . and sick @Glitch

 

[DD4ME]

I seriously doubt there are 20k people waiting to spend $8k.

Not sure what seats you had, but you could have gone down too...in number or location. There are 2 sides to this is all I am saying.

 

[vol_in_ga]

After seeing some of their fans, I thought this already happened!

Yeah

 

[Go Fight Win]

James Pearce is still having a huge impact. He is getting pressure on over 20% of his snaps.

no josephs on that

 

[vol_in_ga]

**** Oregon, they always get great shoes. The inspiration comes from the “what the Kobe” shoes.

We always get meh models every year. We need this.

no josephs on that

People that cannot see that Pearce is the cannon ball causing the splinters that are killing folks are clueless. He may not get the stat, but he's lighting a lot of the fuses.

Don't make a Miss St.ake

ours if we want him. We should beat miss st 60-13

We were just in Bryson City, NC over the weekend to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad with my FIL. Craziness.

NC DOT has basically said to assume 100% of the roads in western NC to be closed right now for everyone's safety.

I love the look just wish tri star was on both sides. I’m not a fan of the sides of the helmet being different. Still clean though

We stayed there not long ago when we hiked a few days in the Smoky Mountains. Great little place downtown that served fresh trout. Ate trout there two nights in a row.

 

[butchna]

You’re not really understanding my point. I’m not saying I care about amateurism in college football, per se. I’m saying I care about amateur sports continuing to exist. And yes, it ties into college football because college sports is the lifeblood of amateur sports generally in this country.

But I don’t care about “keeping these football players down” or “making administrators rich.” You guys are missing the point. I think there should be a place in this world for amateur sports as we have always known them. I think there should be a robust environment for women’s soccer to flourish, for Olympic sports, softball, etc. None of these things are viable in a world where everyone decides that the football players should get to keep all the gate receipts and TV money. There is a place for that, and it’s professional football. School sports shouldn’t have to be that way. You don’t want to play, don’t play.

NAIA football for everyone! Division II NAIA if you’re nasty!

 

[Jack Burton]

I don’t, at all. I care about amateur sports continuing to exist.

What is it about amateur sports you’re afraid of losing?
